I said nothing about your culture. I said that most french can speak
English. TRUE I said most English have no need to speak French. True I
said I felt sorry for the young frenchmen I had in my charge who had
never learned to speak english. TRUE  I said I helped many to learn to
speak English TRUE I said I thought it was criminal that they had not
been allowed to learn English (I still think that) and probably so do
you and I said you would not thank me for saying what I thought. TRUE  
And I said I did not understand why so many Quebecois despised English
so you told me I was a racest and I should shut up.

I have included an origional copy of my post so that you may see what
was snipped out.

I was raised in a little English speaking Ontario  town and the only
person I ever heard speak French was my french teacher.  I now live in
Ottawa and every service person I see has a french name on their name
tag.  What do you want me to do?? My neighbors are French.  We get along
well. What do you want?


   Majority of anglos does not appreciate
> bilingualism... or any languages other than English.

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, the Americans speak English, everybody does.****   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.  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, but it is their business and no one
would thank me for saying so. Myself, I try to give my children
everything they need to live in the real world.




      Quebec does
> not want to become second Vancouver.  Period.

Quebec decides what Quebec decides    I just do not understand why so
many Qu�b�cois despise English Canadians.  You do not seem to hate the
Americans, just us.
