Come on. This is very clearly “howaboutism”.

I mean, in this case it's, "Mind your business." Quebec's language laws are not the USA's concern.

That's exactly what USA are trying to do, minding their own business.

It's a law directly impacting all businesses operating in Quebec.

Exactly. Quebec law is not the USA's business. American owned businesses understood they would be subject to Canadian law when they set up shop here.
