What are you rambling about, Max? What free ride are you talking about? Do
you even know, or are you just parroting the ignorant anti-Quebec
sentiments of the numerous clueless boneheads that populate this part of
the world? What does "North America" have to do with anything? This is a
Canadain issue, *not* a North American one. Last time I checked, the U.S
or Mexico wasn't supporting a "free ride" for Quebec. Get a clue, dude, or
shut up.

Well, *you* certainly don't accept Quebec. If you did, you would try to
understand  where French speaking Quebecers are coming from, instead of
jumping on the "lets bash Quebec" bandwagon. Considering, as even you
admit, the majority of North America is English-speaking, it is not
unreasonable to try to protect the French language.

Really? Think (if that's possible) about that one again, Max.

>speak French, enjoy your culture; it's all about money and who pays for that.

<groan> It isn't all a question of money. Use your brain a little before
the atrophy fully kicks in. Not everything can be reduced to a
business/money equation. There are values worth fighting for and
preserving that have *nothing* to do with the cold world of business and
finance. It has to do with preserving a culture. Think of where Canada (or
Europe for that matter) would be if culture weren't subsidized. Instead of
being a wannabe America clinger-on, Canada would be the 51st state. At
least Quebecers are proud of their culture, more than one can say for
English Canada which is so dilluted with American "culture" it's pathetic.
