Here's a page from the new-look British passport. Notice the very-British looking woman, dressed in very traditional British clothes and performing a very traditional British dance. If you look carefully, there's also a very British dragon.

I don't think I need to say any more on this matter.

So sex-slaves, foreign at that. If you are trying to recreate the Gor series of novels well, . . . where do I sign up?? 12ft Ravens that look when you call their name, it will be like having my first car all over again.

Honestly, I suspect that English and French Canadians are the worse legislators. They are the one's adopted the likes of the Indian Act (along with the original version that included the residential school system), the CHines Exclusion Act, the Gradual Civilization Act, the Official Languages Act, the French Language Charter in Quebec, etc.

They're also the ones who'd changed Berlin ON to Waterloo ON and who abrogated the freedom of German and other Canadians to establish schools in their own languages after WWI.

It appears to me that the smaller the percentage of English and French Canadians in Canada is, the less likely we will adopt such laws.

I think that the reason is that members of other ethnic groups, regardless of how many generations their families have lived in Canada, are humble and more appreciative than even first generation English and French Canadians who seem to exhibit the sense of entitlement that ked to the passing of the laws above.

I know that the above is a gross generalization (heck, I'm a French Canadian and an exception), but I think that it is a fair generalization of the English and French communities as a whole.

When you say english and french do you mean language speakers or actual English and French?

 

[DaSleeper]

That's why I prefer the term Canadian francophone, to French Canadian....

Actually Berlin ON became Kitchener ON, named after the famous British general.

I mean Canadians of British and French origin.

 

[petros]

then I agree with you.

Thanks for the correction.

If they start speaking Punjabi in the House, I'll worry. Little-minded bigotry is best left to the experts and insecure

 

[petros]

A Sikh for Defense Minister was a good choice.

Why?

 

[AnnaG]

Like all men, I SHOULD be having a wife who is willing to cook for me. But I like my women white, Christian and British.

Perhaps something programmable. Robots are programmable and you could have it any way you want it and it would not be able to run away from you. Real women would be a problem for you.

Why?

Maybe because he will not be able to follow the erm .... chat in Question Period?

 

[lone wolf]

Why?

Oh, maybe because I don't understand the language ... or maybe it's not one of the official languages ... or maybe I wrote it as sarcasm because I don't think it really matters if some MP's aren't of WASP descent or speak another language as it seems to matter to the OP. Are they whys enough?

I just don't want you to be worried is all. You have nothing to fear from people speaking Punjabi.

But aren't languages contageous?

I already suffer four.

Some are more contagious than others. Rona Ambrose has been exposed to French for years and has barely got a sniffle.
