First of all, the Quebec Government is not "giving" anglophones anything:
most of those things you mention above were built by anglophones
themselves..and anglophones pay taxes, don't they...
Secondly, you show me a francophone community outside of Quebec that has
the numbers and concentration that anglophones in Quebec have and I'll
show you a community that has all of the things you list above (with the
exception of TV, which is a function of technologies that bring U.S.
broadcasting into Canada).

Who compared it to Nazis?
: Now you come in saying that the country's future DEPENDS on this criminally

"Criminially insane hate literature"...who's being irrational now?
: Well, if that's what Canada is all about, you can stop wondering why so many
: Qu�b�cois are saying "Stop that country -- I want to get off"
...and we want you to get off...vote YES in the next referendum and we'll
start the negotiations...
