   Perhaps you should read it again, or perhaps, as seems to have happened
before, things have a different translation into English than what has been
said in French ?
   The low broadcast rate for French Canadian TV was the primary reason
given by the Allaire commission for it's demand that Quebec have control
of broadcasting since the CRTC didn't seem to work in Quebec.

   Isn't Quebecois the proper term for a resident of Quebec ? Or do
you prefer Quebecer ?

>Or is that your exclusive personal definition for french sovereignists.

   Certainly not, "some of my best friends" are Quebecois..ah that would be 
ex-Quebecois, they live elsewhere now, I don't call french sovereignists
anything in particular.

   The implication is yours. If the Government of Nova Scotia (where I live)
were making some demand, I would not be upset if someone said that Nova
Scotianers were demanding something. However, I can see your possible confusion,
in Nova Scotia the government usually doesn't ignore the wishes of the majority
of the voting population in it's demands.

   You do seem to keep electing governments which continue to wine about
something or other, if it's not the Liberals it's the PQ. 

   But I suppose I should appoligize, it's not really winning is it, you
by and large have been fed such a distorted picture of history and an even
more distorted view of Canada and the world of today that you probably *do*
feel that you have justifible greviences, and do you know what ? YOU DO HAVE
JUSTIFIBLE GREVIENCES, but so do many others, we just don't seem to wine 
bout them quite so much, or perhaps it's just that we can't be heard above
the winning of Quebec !
