Congress and some States have already started talking about defending the english-language, US heritage and identity... you'll see soon enough where this leads and get to respect it. Anyways like you said I got representation, there are 2 established pro-independence parties here (federal & provincial) I vote for and support. Representation in government is one thing, representation as a people on the world stage is another. You need both.

Thing is though...Ya'll weren't on the losing end of the language issue Louis...In fact, since it's mandatory for all Canadians to take French in school, to learn the language, ya'll won despite the fact they're not in your territory.
In this instance, you can't argue that ya'll are the 'minority' because as a 'minority', you've gotten your preference of langage made mandatory for all non-French decent Canadians. You won.
And your voices are pretty strong in regards to voting capabilities, even though ya'lls culture/policies are different from the other 3 territories in Canada in politics and language barriers ya'll created.
I'm sorry, but I don't see what you're discribing anything comparable in the regards to Mexican illegals and the US. Not at all.
But I do see in your posts, the clash of 'French versus Non-French Canadians' that my hubby and in-laws told me about and I saw first hand when visiting Canada.
Your whole mentality is, 'We're the real Canadians and the other Candians are all visitors and should leave'...It's people like you trying to draw the line between a culture ya'll should be sharing as Canadians...Rather then focusing on who hasn't got 'French blood' in them...
