C'est l'temps was a Franco-Ontarian civil disobedience movement in the mid-to-late-1970s over the lack of Ontario government services in French.[1][2] Over two dozen people were arrested, as activists monopolised police time on trivial traffic infractions, refused to pay fines, and sabotaged computer systems.[3][4]
The movement led to a significant increase in French-language service accessibility and the Ontario justice system becoming officially bilingual in 1984, followed by the French Language Services Act in 1986.[5]
