I'll start the dialogue...

The English are fat, donut-eating overlords who stole the Native's land and won't allow the French to have their own nation.

The French are fiddle-dancing, speedo-wearing and poutine-eating cry babies.

The Natives are glue-sniffing layabouts.

Discuss...

(In other news, I just signed up at Ancestry.com and found out I'm 90% a$$hole!)

All of which is overshadowed by the fact they're all Canadian.

You mean to tell me there are French that want to treat the English in their province like human beings?

 

[Hoof Hearted]

I think the members of the Concordia University Student's Association just spit-taked their Starbucks lattes all over their textbooks when they read my opening post.

Bring in the therapy dogs!!

Oh, you're not Canadian unless you're a hyphenated Canadian, (Anglophones need not apply though).

Who would want to watch that, oh yeah bigots and idiots? Just be a bunch of ignorant retards talking about taking 2 steps backwards as opposed to forward like the rest of Canada is trying to do.

I heard she did apologized for something that happened 100 years ago. Also I'm from Northern Ontario and no one is Restricting the use of the French Language.

If it's no problem then why the stupid bill 101? Restricting someone the use of an official language sounds counter intuitive to the point your making?

To say the English have it better in Quebec than the French have it in Ontario is kind of silly because there are no police cracking down on the use of the French Language when advertising for example.

What do you think if Quebec adopted an inclusive language policy?

Sounds like Quebec is trying really hard to cater to everyone not English. But the rest of Canada knows this anyways.

But you wouldn't get it anyways because Quebec supports similar laws that Ontario had 100s of years ago.

One day Quebec will get over their victim mentality, one day...

I've supported that for a long time. Right now for example, if a shop in Gatineau QC put up a bilingual sign in Algonquin and French both the same size and Algonquin appearing first, that would violate the French Language Charter! Even if French appeared first, it would still violate it since French must be clearly predominant. I would day that a business can have any of the following four languages replace French to fulfil the French language requirements of the Charter:

1. The local indigenous sign language.
2. International sign.
3. The local indigenous oral and written language.
4. Esperanto.

Any public school should be free to have the local indigenous written language replace French as the written language of instruction, the local indigenous sign language or oral language replace French ad the spoken language of instruction, Eseranto replace French as the written second language, and Esperanto or International Sign replace French as the spoken second language. Any parent should be allowed to request a school voucher for his child.

Even federally, the local indigenous language or Esperanto should be allowed to fulfil the English and French requirement of packaging and labeling laws. And any person should be allowed to request a media voucher with 1/20 of funding going to Esperanto or International Sign and 19/20 to the local indigenous language. I also don't think Federal offices in Quebec should be required to provide service in English.
