> > That's true. No one should be forced to learn another language. For > most Anglos French is a waist of time because all the French speak > English, That is a very prejudiced comment to make. Why should all the people in Quebec be EXPECTED to speak english? It's okay for people who speak english not to speak french so why cant it be the other way around. At least the french make the effort to speak english which is more than i can say for most other canadians. I did not make the rules but that's the way it is. I used to feel very sorry for > young Frenchmen who had never been allowed to speak English. it's not that they aren't ALLOWED. it's b/c there was never a need to. you have obviously never lived in the heart of quebec. If they > got nothing else from being abroad they did learn to speak English [we > taught them] which allowed them to travel and work anywhere they > pleased. Frankly I think what some of the people of Quebec are doing to > their own children is criminal, i think it's criminal that you will be teaching your children racism. and why isnt it criminal if you dont teach your children french? afterall it is our second language. > > Quebec decides what Quebec decides I just do not understand why so > many Quรฉbรฉcois despise English Canadians. The quebecois despise english canadians such as yourself. you have such a high and mighty attitude. why dont you keep your mouth shut until you've had the opportunity to be a part of their culture and live like they do. im not a separatist but half of my family is french (not separatists either). they live in the l'outaouais region (just outside ottawa in quebec). i was just talking to my father the other day about why people in quebec seem to dislike english speaking canadians. the thing is.. we dont take the time to learn about what they're saying. everyone hears referendum and they think..those french bastards want to separate. why dont you do some research and learn something before you open your rude mouth and voice your opinion. i'd hate you too if you presented your attitude to me.
