Maybe he means it in the Victorian sense of "we".
Perhaps thou art right. Lovest thou the royal 'we'?

I'm not sure what you mean here. When I'd worked in a high school La malbaie at one time, I remember most of the teachers couldn't speak English, let alone the students and parents.

What I meant that kids DO NOT NEED tax-payer money waste crap like English As Second Language.
Same as no taxpayer-funded program needed in the Fench-speaking part of Canada. Kids going to school ther, speaking their own mother tongue, would come home speaking French.

I can't even SAY "Etruscan", ANd silly peeps I mean "WE" as in the great Canadian Confused....country WHatEVer.
Maybe the same reason we spend money on a firearms registry that doesn't do anything like what it's supposed to do. Or spend money on heritage buildings. Or spend money on the CBC or the National Gallery.
Sorry. It's a bit tough to know when a noob is kidding and when not. Actually it's kind of tough sometimes about regs, too. lol
So in other words we can have a contry of monolingual French speakers and monolingual English speakers and yet expect that they won't feel like foreigners when travelling across Canada?
Why not let the market decide? Why must legislation just keep reinforceing the imperial languages?
I just don't see why, considering that English and french have a pre-eminent position in the free market in Canada aready, they we then need to add legislation to strengthen them even more. The proposal in the OP was essentially to remove legislative barriers to them, letting the market decide at elast. Maybe they'd still die, but at least not through outright bureacratic obstacles thrown in their way.
I used to tell people that 50% of what I say were out-right lies and the rest was pure B*S*. Considering the noise levels sometimes attained around CC , perhaps your confusion is understandable...................(Noob, HUH!!! )
