Still, why should NB'ers have to give up bilingualism? Why not a sort of overall governement that would give us a single economy, justice system and so on. It would give us a lot more clout in Ottawa and make it easier to do bussiness here as well. If an area is bilingual, then let the government offices and so on stay that way there. Nobody in the maritimes has sign laws like that Bill 101 follishness, and you already have the right to be heard at court in either official language. The question is: Are there any insurmountable problems that might face such a political union? Maybe someone could point a few out. -Allan
