What is happening in Ontario is the same as what has happened in Quebec which is the promotion of the French language via corrupt Nazi type language policy. I have already pointed out that the lopsided corrupt 'Official Languages Policy' does not allow for the promotion of the English language in Quebec but only serves the French language and it's promotion. Ottawa Ontario's bilingual policy proves this in the first line of the federal style bilingual policy. http://www.ottawa.ca/city_hall/policies/bilingualism_policy/index_en.html You are the one with the incapacity to realize that when parts of the constitution are used to promote linguistic self ideologies by perceived victims like yourself it is time to scrap or rewrite parts or sections of the constitution. The proof is simple. English speaking Canadians are badly discriminated against in Ontario by language laws and made second class citizens by being forced by corrupt policy to speak an unwanted, needless foreign language. A goof thing? You got that right. It is apparent you are in full support of a dictator and dictatorial Nazi type language policies.

French was never an official language in Quebec until 1974. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_the_French_Language

Yes, I blame federal and Quebec Nazi type language legislation resulting in violation to English speaking rights, security and liberty. And also contradicts Freedom of Speech and the right to be treated equally. This is all part of a French effort to make provinces especially Ontario 'Officially bilingual'. You are sidetracking the issue which is how French is propagated throughout Canada using French as an official language by French activist. Just look at what French activist have accomplished with the 'French Languages Service Act' especially in provinces like Ontario. http://www.ofa.gov.on.ca/en/flsa-mapdesig.html This of couse does not include: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilingualism_in_Ottawa This is what happens when you have French activist part of Ottawa city council---more Nazi type language policies. This proves how corrupt the 'Official Languages Act' really is as it excludes propagation of the English language in Quebec.

That is totally irrelevant as the English language is the de facto language of Ontario.

If there was no French in that area then the British would not be giving Quebec to the French. Mr. Trudeau would be proud of you. You are just as self-righteous and arrogant as he was.

French is an official language as proclaimed by the federal government and Quebec takes full advantage of that fact.

You very well know federal and the Quebec provincial governments does not promote the English language in Quebec which results in an uneven linguistic playing field and in turn discriminates against English speaking Canadians. If they did you would have Quebec cities with an official bilingual policy, a multitude of English immersion schools, a multitude of English services like the 204 or so of (I lost track) French services we have in Ontario alone for Francophone's that cost Ontario and Canadian tax payers billions of dollars. OLA is corrupt, discriminates and is a useless piece of paper, except for Quebec that is.

What has English Canada contributed? Money----lots of money and is something it seems Quebec cannot do without--federal money. Federal money keeps Quebec's autonomy alive and well.

France abandoned her people after the Treaty of Paris. It was the British who gave the French Quebec. Quebec is the root cause of political unrest in Canada.

Britain did not abandon English speaking Canadians. Britain gave us the BNA Act and laws relating to our freedoms. Canada was created through confederation. All Canadians show their love to the Queen with Canada being a Constitutional Monarchy. It is traitors and freedom polluters that have destroyed the rights of White, Christian, English speaking Canadians. I am simply a Canadian that does NOT subscribe to multicultural Nazism nor official tribalism.

The demise of the French language has been predicted since 1763 - that's 237 years ago. Thanks to corrupt dysfunctional governments and English speaking tax payers who WILL NOT stand up for the rights of their large English speaking majority. And I predict Canada will be bankrupt and non-existent,long before 237 years from now.

I will repeat: The OLA is a corrupt document and does NOTHING for the advancement and protection and advancement of the English language in Quebec.

It was Trudeau's policies that segregated Canadians and put them into classes or groups, just like Nazi policies did.

Kate Jaimet - For the past decade, statistician Charles Castonguay has been predicting the demise of francophone communities outside of Quebec. Now, with census data showing a continuing slide in native French-speakers outside Quebec, he says it’s time to cut off federal government life-support to the shrinking franco-phone outposts. Similarly, the number of people who registered French as their mother tongue sank by 13 per cent in Newfoundland, 10 per cent in Saskatchewan, and also declined in P.E.I., Nova Scotia, New Brunsick and Manitoba. Ontario posted a modest 0.7 per cent gain in the number of native francophones, but this did not keep pace with the overall population increase. A similar trend could be found in B.C. and Alberta. In Newfoundland, there were only 25 babies between the ages of zero and four whose mother tongue was registered as French on the 2006 census. "There are places where it’s almost catastrophic," Ms. Routhier-Boudreau admitted. The declines in French as a mother tongue and a language of daily living continue a longstanding trend in Canada. The trend hasn’t reversed, despite the 2003 federal Action Plan for Official Languages which committed the government to spending an additional $750 million. Ms. Routhier-Boudreau said the amount of spending must increase beyond $750 million. "It’s clearly insufficient," she said. "We obviously have to talk about billions." Ms. Routhier-Boudreau said federal and provincial governments, families, and the private sector must all contribute to creating communities where people can live, work, and enjoy leisure activities in French. http://www.vigile.net/Stop-giving-millions-to-dying There is nothing like fighting and beating down English speaking Canadians with their own tax money and corrupt language legislation.

I really pity poor English speaking Canadians who are having their linguistic and cultural rights, jobs destroyed by French Canadians and minorities who use Nazi type government language legislation to accomplish this.

Canadien wrote: "Oh really? And I thought the Act granted equal status to English and French in federal institutions in ALL the country, including Quebec. After all, it's what it DOES " That is only part of it. The principles of the Act are: http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Content/LOP/ResearchPublications/prb0423-e.htm So it seems the OLA is an important Act relating to the promoting of French in the ROC, especially in Ontario.

I don't care who you agree with. You posts are mostly like Canadien's. They consist of insignificant and meaningless personal opinion and hearsay.

"To patronize ones country" simply means a person who supports their country. And that support could be in the form patriotism, nationalism, loyalty or any other word one chooses to describe attachment to their country. Typical response of a French propagandist or one who is loyal to Quebec, like you.

Again, stop posting personal insults. I already posted I do not begrudge earthquake aid to Haiti. But it is now a different story as Mr. Harper appears to be taking a leading role in rebuilding Haiti. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/755503--we-must-commit-to-haiti-for-the-long-term-harper What this means in extra money no one really knows. Haiti is only one of many poor countries in the world. What is Canada supposed to do every time their is some kind of disaster in one of these countries, rebuild it. I suggest Haiti is getting extra attention from the PM because because it is a Francophonie country and our GG is Haitian. I don't think we can afford any extra money to rebuild Haiti and neither do some of the posters made by readers of this article. .

I never claimed Cicero's quote had anything to do with patronizing ones country. It was you who said: "Care to translate "patronage to one's country" into English". You very well know what patronage means to ones country, so stop being a fool. You of course are talking about language rights and those rights IMO are extremely corrupt. Mr. Trudeau gave us the "Official Languages Act" which serves no other purpose other than promote French in the ROC. This Act absolutely ignores English Rights in Quebec. BTW-- do something about your severe paranoia and stop posting insults almost every post you submit. But then again with you being a French propagandist it's probably part of your ugly nature.

Back to Haiti: So Montreal is the host city relating to a one day meeting regarding Haiti's reconstruction. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/01/25/haiti-rebuilding-conference-100125.html The last time Montreal hosted a conference to decide the future of Haiti's government, shortly after there was a coupe was a Haitian rebellion or coupe in 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Initiative Mr. Harper certainly seems to find a lot of time to deal with problematic, corrupt Haiti while Parliament is prorogued in his own country and cannot deal with Canada's own problems.

It is written in English but if you don't understand it simply read the Cicero quote again.

I hope Mr. Harper quits and goes back to Alberta, starts up a separatist party and convinces Alberta to separate from this socialist hell hole.

Something minority Quebec was unable to do until they got a string of Quebec PM's working for Quebec to support Quebec's fanatical cultural ideologies. Cicero was right: "For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist."

In my school we taught real Canadian history and not the politically correct altered meaningless history you base the majority of your post on in threads like this one. You believe in fairy tales, I don't.
