Canada does not own universal values.

But if the CPC want to use the Alt Right as their main platform, then by all means, please do.

That would easily keep them out for another two elections.

So the government can remove it from the budget then? We can have English only packaging from now on?

Queb can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he actually does support allowing unilingual French packaging on Québec and English packaging outside of Québec.

Major domestic companies would probably still label in both languages for business reasons, but I presume it could allow more English-labelled imports from the US to the ROC or from France to Québec for example.

Nowhere in the animal world does sexuality have the symbolism, emotional or religious significance, identifying character, consequences and responsibities, social and moral proscriptions, that it does in the humans.

Animals are completely unaware that sex procreates their species.. it is simply a biological imperative, not reflected upon or anticipated... certainly not self defining. That's what makes us different than animals.. and why its practice AND restraint, within a cultural and moral superstructure, is so important.
If stuffing your head up your own butt can be considered the act of a homosexual, you'd be as queer as a three-dollar bill. Why are you so threatened by them?

J'avais lus un rapport de l'ASFC en Ontario l'an dernier dans un très movais anglais. L'agente avait tout mal compri.

Ça va dans les deux sens.

Ç'est pour ça que je favorise l'unilinguisme officiel au niveau municipal.

also showed that more than a third of Canadians think the country admits too many immigrants (38 per cent) while 13 per cent say too few are admitted. But 41 per cent think the number of admission is about right.
Six in 10 Canadians think immigrants should abandon their native cultural values when they conflict with Canadian cultural values, the poll found.
And it showed that although almost 60 per cent of Canadians would prohibit one or more articles of Islamic clothing, an equal percentage of respondents agree that the state has no business telling women how to dress.

An eastern bast***d says;

Ryerson University Prof. Myer Siemiatycki condemned Leitch’s idea as “wrong-headed, cynical, and unfortunately dangerous” for raising suspicions about immigrants for crass political purposes.

Go apply for one of those good government jobs if you can't speak french. Doesn't matter if it's on Vancouver Island, still have to be fluent speaking and writing french.

C'est vrai. On ne voudrait pas signer un contrat écris par un francophone en anglais, mais l'anglophone ne peut même pas prétendre connaitre le français. Je généralise, je sais, mais c'est la règle généralement.

If you won't take your meds at least work on the cognitive therapy OHIP paid for.

It's true. We wouldn't sign a contract written by a francophone in English, but the English can't even pretend to know the french. I'm generalizing, I know, but it is generally th

They forgot to pass the French tests to the security people and the Tom Horton servers, among other;-)

Yes I do.



They are both private employers

I agree again. The private sector should be allowed to work unilingually in Chinese if it wants to. Let the market decide.

What that change ?

In Montréal Airport, you can't work if you don't speak english.

English should be strictly optional and not obligatory at that airport. Official bilingualism is redundant.
