I need to agree and applaud Alicornsprayer on this;

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. Yes and if you fail your French credit you will not graduate High School

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. What bothers me the most is that in every other Province in Canada (or Mostly seems the Atlantic Provinces are not buying into the French BS) But the other Provinces all have French signs everywhere you look. People being hired in other Provinces Especially in Ottawa you NEED to be bilingual and know how to speak French if not the job is not yours. BUT if you go to Quebec you will NOT see English signs (ok in Aylmer you do but they do not want to be apart of Quebec) and you have a very hard time finding an English speaking employee, We have to drive through Quebec all the time and you do not see one english sign to direct an english person where to go. Even the Emergency signs are in French, good thing my husband speaks French and he is not proud of it, he in fact hides it.

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. Agree 100%

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. Neither does he

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. Oh yes non-french speaking Canadians are scum of the earth, not worth a second look

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... OMG I could not have said that better, that IS in deed how they think and portray themselves.

In other words PULEASE you have it so much better than you think, Us "regular" Canadians have a hard time reading which bathroom is ours in our OWN Province, meanwhile you can order your food from a menu in your language outside of your Province.

Oh and Hey everyone, I am new here and this is my first post.
