I confirm. If English would be considered as the second official language in Quebec, it would be an insult for me and my nation. I think it would be the same thing if English would be considered as the second official language in Japan.
English is already spoken in many countries, I think that's enough. Actually a lot of young people like to use English expressions while speaking their native language (in case of Quebec, it is a big problem, especially in Montreal). I think that a lot of English words are already used in the Japanese language.
The language is one of the most important cultural identity for a nation, we must respect it. I think it's not a necessity to add English as a second language if less than 5% of the population actually use this language at home.
