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).

: we want you guys to extend us the same courtesy and cool it with the 
: English-only signs, at least in public".  And some nut decides that this is 
: comparable to Auschwitz and the Qu�b�cois are nazis, and posts it for all the
: world to see!

Who compared it to Nazis?

: Now you come in saying that the country's future DEPENDS on this criminally 
: insane hate literature reaching as many as possible?

"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...
