C'est l'temps

C'est l'temps (French pronunciation: [sɛltɑ̃], lit. 'This is the time') was a Franco-Ontarian civil disobedience movement in the mid-to-late-1970s protesting the lack of Ontario government services in French. Over two dozen people were arrested, as activists monopolised police time on trivial traffic infractions, refused to pay fines, and sabotaged computer systems.

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.
