LOl, I am an English speaking Quebecer and yes, many times I get better treatment at the hands of French speaking Quebecers. I recently had a birthday party and Out of 20 people, I had 3 French speaking friends, 10 bilingual persons, including myself, and 5 mostly English speakers......most of whom understood some of the other language.
It seems that by living in Quebec, I live in the best place in Canada??? I hardly think so. I also don't expect to get shot in a theatre, restaurant, at the gym or in the grocery store. Oh and I am white, and English as well as a proud Quebecer. Or Quebecois.
Geez and here in Quebec, I have only heard of those who had accidents or committed suicide with guns in this area. I am sure in the bigger cities there will always be the pimps, drug lords, and petty crimnals who can only get what they want through a gun. Is this a reason to make it easier for them to acquire them?? Nah, I don't thinks so.

we already have oppressive gun laws in Canada. We currently have criminals running around committing all kinds of crimes with handguns but a law abiding taxpayer has to follow all kinds of stupid rules just to take a gun to the range. What we need is enforcement of existing laws on criminals and relaxing of rules on honest people."
So, in order to satisfy your feeling of being put upon, we loosen the gun laws, so more crooks, killer, pimps, burglars can have even more access to guns?? Rather short sighted I would say. You do realize that more of those I listed would take advantage of the easier access to guns than those with no interest in being vigilantes or gunslingers?? I like much more than half of Canada's population are simply not interested in that type of life.
.... sheesh!
