You call us racist because we would like to see English signs in Eaton's?
It makes me sick when I hear this kind of garbage!  Just who is William
Johnson trying to provoke?  It is the SEPERATISTS that do the provoking.  At
least last night that was the case when a roudy group of separatists
gathered to tell us to "go home".  If anyone has racist tendencies, it is
the SEPARATISTS, and perhaps you.  If you saw last night's group of
separatists, you would see that they were there only to cause trouble.

What is your point?  Are you suggesting that there be a quota on the amount
of English in this province?  This is a matter of respect.  I pay my share
of taxes, and therefore I will not tolerate being treated as a second class
citizen.  It is so typical of people like yourself to think that the only
way to "preserve the French culture" is to stomp out all other cultures.
This is called enthocentricity, truly a racist mentality.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  If you had actually
visited other parts of this country you would know that you were lying, but
I think you're just ignorant.  Go to Eaton's in Ontario, you WILL see
BILINGUAL signs.  And let's not forget, the percentage of Francophones
outside of Quebec is a fraction of the percentage of Anglophones (and
English speaking minorities) in Quebec.
