Not true. There is New Brunswick. But for having been there, the anglos
are better treated here than the francos there.

Well, Francophones were one of the two founding "people" of Canada as we
know it. French is one of the official languages, Ukrainian is not. So
what's your point?

It's not a question of who's culture is better than whom. But
francophone Quebecois are not simply immigrants from France: they've
evolved in quite a distinct :-) culture, one that is truly unique. This
culture is worth preserving...don't you think?

Huh? This is false, or at least quite misleading.
