I was paraphrasing you. But OK, then we'll play by your rules:

Signage laws are not human rights abuses.

If they restrict what I'm allowed to write in which language, that's a restriction of my freedom of speech, which is a human right. Next.

The right to work in French is not a human right abuse.

Making a strawman of it doesn't change reality.

I never said it was. But ah, the accusations that are actually confessions. Next.

My rights as a Quebec anglophone have been better respected in the last 100 years than the rights of francophones in Ontario, Manitoba and New Brunswick

Hmm, weird, I don't recall laws forcing Francophones in Ontario to run their businesses in English, make their signage English, forcing them to go to English schools, and a whole range of other things.

Yes you are simping

Ah, another accusation that's actually a confession. Next.

Society has been fine, apart from angryphones bitching now and then.

Yeah, when a significant portion of the province's politics are "how can we further restrict what is allowed to be done in one language while using the excuse of protecting another language as a way to drown out any opposition", society is not fine.
