How true but there is more to the country than the not so great province
of ont.

What has been done? 2 bills were repealed and one bill put on hold for a
net gain of being more in debt?

And lo he looked upon the people of Quebec and was pleased. For their
disloyality to Canada, he granted them many great powers and anointed
them with much political patronage and riches. 

And lo he looked upon them again was pleased. "These people are my
chosen people and I shall return to the province of my father to rule
over them", said he from above.

"I say onto you the rulers of this great new land shall be Lucien and
Jean, and all this shall come to pas in your life time", said Jean from
on high on the hill.

You my chosen peole, are to follow these great truths:

There shall be no English signs displayed in my presence.

There shall be no immigrants voting against my will.

Fear not for no Anglos shall thread in the Valley of The Saint Lawrence.

My vote count is accurate, of which you may not question.

Well I don't know how true this is. After all, they have to attend for
several days a year for six partial years.
