I see you "forgot" to mention that the Anglophone minority in La Belle
Provence is FAR LARGER than the Francophone minority in every other
provence. There are French schools and services here in Manitoba. I am
of Ukranian descent, both sides. Ukranians outnumber French here in
Manitoba yet it is IMPOSSIBLE for my daughter to learn Ukranian. No
such school exists. I suppose you believe YOUR culture is more worthy
than MINE. English-only signs are NOT the problem in Quebec, ANY
amount of English was forbidden untill some people put up bilingual
signs. The Quebec government did NOT "create" English-language TV,
papers, hospitals OR movie houses.. market demand created them!!!!

I suppose you would think it appropriate to suppress his opinion. I
expect as much from a fascist.

You are welcome to leave. I'll buy the ticket. I am sure the good
intelligent people of Quebec <Anglophone AND Francophone> will
eventually see your kind for what you REALLY are...
