Default Supreme Court rules against Quebec's language law

The country's top court has struck down a Quebec law that restricts immigrants from attending English-language schools, prompting reactions of disappointment and anger from provincial politicians.

The decision has the potential to ignite the province's divisive language wars and could even inflame divisions across the country.

The unanimous Supreme Court of Canada ruling went against two appeals by the Quebec government. In their decision, the justices called Bill 104 "excessive" and said it infringed on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
