I also think there is a strong prejudice against non-English speaking
people by English speaking Canadians. I have lived in western Canada for
some years and have experienced prejudice and ridicule because of where I
come from. Just look at the many negative comments about Asians that
regularly pop up in van.general. There is a big "speak english or get the
fuck out" mentality in the west. It is hypocritical for anglos to complain
abnout Quebec, when they themselves are much more bigoted and
narrow-minded than many Quebecers.
