Sugar Sammy, a Montreal comedian, took to Twitter to clap back at the Quebec government for their efforts to decrease the use of English in the workplace. 

The announcement, made on September 21, states that the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) will be opening new offices and hiring more staff to "allow the Montreal team to focus solely on the metropolis," according to a statement.

The comedian, writer and producer, whose real name is Samir Khullar, tweeted to his 286.5K followers, snarkily commenting on the decision.
