Oh! The apostrophe ( ' ) was outlawed in Québec in 1976 by the Parti Québecois. A pack of evil FLQ sympathisers who were the driving force behind the notorious Bill 101, their mission was to stamp out the English language in la belle province.

Alas! Their motive for outlawing this character is that it forms half of the 's, an English-language possessive construct. Take away their 's and the anglophone minority will no longer be able to possess anything.

Still, apostrophes are flourishing in Quebec, despite being outlawed. There is today in Montreal more apostrophes per capita than anywhere else in North America.
