Maybe Canadien can tell us how did Canada become an independent country? And I wouldn't worry to much about Canada's good reputation in Europe, not that I give a damn what Europe thinks: http://www.canadians.org/integratethis/ins...007/Nov-21.html

There is no nation wide bilingualism in Canada because there are no other countries along our borders that require a language other than the English language. But your right that existing federal linguistic attempts to satisfy a twisted minority that refuses to assimilate, like the rest of us, has been a huge waste of money. Beats me why the federal government continues to pour trillions of dollars into Quebec a province that harbours continual separatist ideologies and continues to make fools of the majority English speaking population by trying to force the country to speak its unwanted, needless language. English is the de-facto language of Canada and this language should made the only official language of all Canada. Official minority languages in an official multicultural country is unacceptable as it only creates a never ending struggle for power. This is currently the case with Quebec and the Aboriginals who are now demanding the same linguistic status as Quebec. But I agree that English language and a second mandated language depending on the province makes sense as Canada is an official multicultural country and is a country the government chooses to fill with non-White immigrants with diverse cultures. We cannot allow minorities to linguistically uproot the FREE-FLOWING English de-facto language of Canada at the huge, ever increasing, expense of Canadian tax payers.

Core services is all Ottawa should be funding. Kids should learn how to play sports for FREE, like we used to do.

Then NETHER do English speaking Canadians need to bow to any other culture in Canada but are forced to by corrupt French language policies. It is time for English language policies as I am tired of being railroaded by French language policies that result in corrupt hiring practices in majority dominated English speaking provinces. The only facts you have are politically twisted created by dysfunctional governments. Quebec is already a have not province. Must I embarrass you further? It is obvious you do not know that. You are like a chicken with running around with its head cut off screaming 'my language is not obsolete'. Debunked in federal supported Quebec. You a troubled French Canadian propagadist. This is no myth as you have proven it over and over in this thread. If the federal governemt cannot or will not act against a minority imposing discriminating language laws that nullify charter rights, then I would absolutely call Quebec language laws a success. This of course INCLUDES French Quebec style language laws that have been imposed in majority English speaking provinces. But I agree with you in a single sense that imposed MINORITY language laws (policies) smells like manure. Obviously you do not understand what 'official status means'. NULLIFYING AND NO MORE MANDATING FRENCH LANGUAGE POLICIES IN ONTARIO A PROVINCE THAT IS NOT OFFICIALLY BILNGUAL. It has happened. If it does not exist then what the hell in a single instance is this thread all about? You do not know the meaning of hypocrite, liar. Joke of the day. Then you must really think the earth is flat. French clinics in Ontario ban users of the English language from medical care, a service funded by the majority English (suckers) speaking tax payers of Ontario. French only entitlement to services in Ontario has no meaning to English speakers in Quebec. And French! And you call yourself Canadien. That is the WHOLE PROBLEM relating to French propagted signage laws. A 4% French minority mandating language laws in a 96% English speaking province of Ontario. The only thing you seem to pass is, wind.

We all originate from immigrants who mostly all have voluntarily been assimilated. You appear to ignore the facts. The French language in Canada is obsolete and only artificially kept functionable courtesy of la federal governmet via the tax payers of Canada. Quebec is surrounded by over 339 million English speakers vs its 7.5 milion French speakers. The French language in Canada is a foreign language and is basically used in the province of Quebec. If French was not a foreign language it would be the de-facto language of Canada which it is NOT. You are one twisted French MINORITY propagandist troublemaker. It succeeded in Quebec. So, who are you to say provinces cannot control their de-facto commercial English language anywhere else in Canada? Ontario like Quebec unfortunately harbours corrupt provincial and municipal language laws that discriminate, oppress and depress. You know the province of Ontario harbours a discriminatory French Language Services Act and certain municipalities harbour discriminatory bilingual policies and French sign laws which all have been implemented WITHOUT the voice of the residents/citizens of Ontario and Canada. This travesty of justice MUST be attended to which as also created a huge financial burden on the majority English speaking residents of Ontario. The 96% English speaking tax paying residents of Ontario cannot be linguistically controlled by a French minority that represent under 4% of the population of Ontario. The English language MUST be made the official language of Ontario to preserve the rights and jobs of English speaking reidents of Ontario.

We are all immigrants. But unlike you the large majority of Canadians have chose to be assimilated for the better rather than whine and cry the blues about some obsolete foreign language. Duh, you don't approve of democratically implemented language laws? You transform the right to freely choose and favour imposed language laws. Feel free to move to Quebec where they discriminate, oppress and depress with their dictated official language laws.

I have always been a supporter of freedom of choice, a right all Canadians must enjoy. But in saying this the de-facto commercial English language of Canada must not be abused by groups to alter the importance of the English language to where it could cause linguistic confusion for users of the majority de-facto English language. This has happened in Quebec resulting with English speaking Canadians being discriminated against with French language laws. This is why English speaking majority provinces must implement an official English only policy to protect users of the English language against larger clusters clusters of foreign immigrants commercially utilizing a foreign language that directly cause mayhem to users of the de-facto commercial English language of Canada. It is also evident Quebec style language laws currently being used outside of Quebec cause not only prevent freedom of choice but is the root cause of English speaking job loss by French language policies utilized by a French minority that represents less than 4% of the population of Ontario. I wish him or her prosperity in whatever buisness that might be. That is what Ontario is about....FREE CHOICE.

And implementing their own prejudices into law is suppose to mean something? And they are the good English speaking Canadians of Russell, The Ottawa Citizen and millions of other Canadians who know what freedom of choice SHOULD mean in this country.

Or country nothing. Canada is a foreign cultural enclave ever since Quebec's Pierre Trudeau hijacked it as such buy ammending Canada's British Constitution. Majority White English speaking Canadians never had a voice detirmining their own constitution in what WAS their country.

You, you ,you you you you and you. So this is how you and your totally corrupt Canada relates to ME.

The comedy section includes this entire forum along with the dysfuctional government that runs this foreign enclave called Canada.

It perfectly describes your misquoting and lying. Only to neutralize rapidly spreading corrupt French language policies. You are Canadian. But for some reason you assume various levels of government that provide certain minority French services equates to official bilingualism. You see nothing wrong with French corrupt French language policies that are currently in force in and outside of the province of Quebec. Here is a partial excerpt from an Ottawa Citizen editorial, Thurs. Sept 11, 2008, Section 'C', pg. 4: I don't condone violence. But it is easy to understand how a situation can become uncontroable like the language conflict in Russell. Federal bilingualism has failed in Canada in trying to create a bilingual Canada. Provincial governments have a responsibility to ensure bilingualism is a dead issue since it has failed federally. The province of Ontario has failed to protect the interest of majority English speaking Ontarians by allowing French minorities to abuse linguistic freedoms in a province that currently harbours no official language policies of any kind.

You are using fraudulent quotes that DO NOT EXIST....unless you can prove it by posting the entire statement. No one wants language laws and signage laws FORCED on them. Canadians do NOT want a bilingual Canada or all provinces would have implemented official bilingual status which they have not except for the province of New Brunswick. And Canadians NOT want dictated, imposed signage and language laws as indicated by the situation that is currently ongoing in Russell Ontario. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...55-b5d2a2bdfd91

The British contribution? Bwa-ha-ha-ha. The French forced this? And who really cares. One is not a bigot to recgonize a corrupt Liberal ammended constitution. The real reason and objective is people do not want other imposed languages FORCED by corrupt language and signage laws. A dictator could not have said that better.

As did the country! How about showing a little respect relating to Canada's REAL founders the British and not your defunct imagined history or fairy tales. Oh, now its back to the beginning of time. Then why are majority Ontario tax payers paying for French schools and allowing it? Back to the dinosaur era. Currently the English language is NOT the official language of Ontario and there is no official language in Ontario. But you would never know this, especially with corrupt politicians creating French official sign laws and official bilingual policies in lieu of Ontario's NO OFFICIAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE POLICY. Ask me again why I want the English language to be designated 'official in Ontario? Freedom has limitations relating to CORRUPTLY IMPOSED, DICTATED FRENCH SIGN LAWS AND BILINGUAL POLICIES. And the premier of Ontario should know this and quickly impose the majority English language as the official language of Ontario. How long is the torture going to last? I mean are English speaking Canadians supposed be perpetual minority French whipping posts without any form of retaliation?

Obviously you are a traditionalist and this is the real reason you support Palen. You don't want to see language, traditional families, patriotism, Christianity, common traditions thrown out the window. That is what this election is about secularist vs traditional ideologies. I to support Mc.Cain and Palen and would hate to see the U.S. go down the tube in a socialistic/sociocultural fashion similar to Canada.

There is something more troubling about this race for presidency. And it is apparent the main issue in this campaign is secularist ideologies vs. tradionalist ideologies. Tearing apart an established country in this manner is a subtle form of anarchy. Wake up Americans before it is to late. NO-BAMA!

The only objective relating to residential schools was to educate natives so they would not dependent on a degenerative third world backward lifestyle and would not be dependent on government resources for the rest of time.

Condescending must be your middle name. The English language RULED from day one relating to when the British GAVE Canada its constitution. I kind of suspected that was the case all along. You are in la-la land. No, its because of government money. This could be proven when you try to open a can of beans (if you were lucky enough to find a can of beans) with your bare hands fully knowing that a mechanical can opener is a luxury and beyond the reach of those in a dead end culture without the help of government assistance. English would soon be the language of choice for people adhering to a dead end culture. That is unequivocally correct. But of course you must understand this means freely used for personal use and not expected to be used on any type of official basis. That there is no DEMOCRATIC initiative that would allow the citizens of Canada to determine that the de-facto English language of Canada should be the one and only official financially supported commercial language of Canada, that would be used by all Canadians.

Any form of what you consider humour is totally foreign and is irrelevant to me.

More French propaganda of the dictatorial type which is a common trait in 'La Belle Province'.

Again, you have a major problem comprehending the word 'forced' on commercial signage by language policy not detirmined by the citizens of Canada relating to various levels of government. I disagreed with Mr. Harper and did not "denounce the Harper government". Educating natives to be able to cope in modern majority English speaking society does not constitute "destroying Native Canadian languages and cultures. I want the federal government to affirm that 'right' by national referendum and not to be decided solely by a handful of federal or provincial politicians or city or town councillors. You are not only a hypocrite but a French propagandist who is playing both sides of the linguistic coin. Says who? A French propagandist who cannot comprehend. More evidence relating to your inability understanding implemented, corrupt French and bilingual and signage language policies used to advance a culture who are incapable of advancing their own official language and culture for the simple reason no one wants it.

Yes, the French language in Canada is an imported foreign language from the country of France. It is NOT the language used by the majority of Canadians and is an obsolete language, artificially maintained by the tax payers of Canada and used in turn by Quebec as a political tool for the advancement of the French culture. Without constant Canadian financing the French language in Canada would cease to exist in a very short time. Canada sadly lacks the kind of democratic initiatives that could and most probably would terminate once and for all this troublesome language.

Typical self serving arrogant francophone.

In Ontario a province that is over 96% English and you have never heard it? It would appear you have been successful with isolating yourself in your own little French enclave. I cannot read? The article says otherwise. Bwa-ha-ha-ha. Looks like nobody wants French immersion. Better check out the definition of dysfunctional again.
