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

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.

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.

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.
