Re: Wynne Sorry For 1912 Ban On French In Schools, Feb. 23.

Concurrent with her government’s apology to acknowledg­e an outdated ( 1912) educationa­l regulation that did not properly respect Ontario’s bilingual heritage, Premiere Kathleen Wynne has the opportunit­y to redress a more timely wrong. She should ask Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard do the same and formally ac- knowledge the second- class status the English language holds in his province’s workplaces — a slight visible on its signage and fanaticall­y regulated by a zealous band of l anguage police. This could help rectify one of Canada’s remaining cultural indignitie­s.
