Is that right! Oh, its bambino's story telling time again. For someone who never uses any type of citations must consider himself the ultimate source of information. Goodnight bambino.

England is the foreign country that gave us Canada, our constitution and our language. There is no need to be jealous and envious of that fact. If in fact you are, then why don't you put on your frog suit and paddle back to France?

The French language is the language of France. France is a foreign country. NO? No. By NOT doing her job and telling Pierre to go fly a kit. She should never have trusted a French PM from Quebec. Yes, we know what Mr. Trudeau and the Liberals did and makes me ashamed to be Canadian. And that one province all the action was about, DID NOT. Why Trudeau did not scrap the proposed Charter shows how corrupt the PM was. Of course not because if they did they would be portrayed as incompetent corrupt fools. English FREELY dominates Canada and is the undisputed language of commerce in Canada. Why are you envious of that fact the French language cannot freely establish its own linguistic prominence? Why are Francophones holding Canadians responsible for that fact? Equality equates to freedom and it seems all you want to do is employ corrupt racist tactics by governments of all levels to forcefully rectify the Francophone self induced problem. Wake up and smell the coffee.

The laws of Canada always did apply to all. That question was not raised in this thread so your insults are not applicable. Yes, I would be opposed as force feeding minority languages constitutes racial discrimination. Racially discriminating against an existing language/culture is equality? We all know about the delivery of bilingual French services with the end result of transposing previously English speaking jobs into bilingual jobs. I would say that is stretching the word 'services' beyond the scope of anyone's imagination, unless you happen to be Francophone. You show me the piece of legislation that changes the meaning of the word 'services' into corrupt cultural ideologies that constitute a racist policy. Show me that racist piece of legislation? It is clear to me that if Mc.guinty did provincially enshrine Ottawa's racist bilingual policy, he would never agin be voted back as premier of Ontario. Lets have the referendum FIRST before making such an innane comment. Protecting the majority language of a province against a minority cultural language assault for the purpose of corrupt job gain is not racist. It is simply protecting the cultural interest of that province for the benefit of the English speaking tax payers that have created English speaking job securities. Why try to chisel in on the success of other majority English speaking provinces?

The city of Ottawa as the capital of Canada is represented more than fairly on a federal level. Why should the municipality of Ottawa bend over backwards to the demands of arrogant Francophones when they do not reciprocate with similar language policies anywhere in Quebec. The majority residents of Ottawa are English speaking and culturally speaking owe Francophones nothing. Sorry. It is NOT the position of city councillors to establish a consensus on what they consider fair relating to forced bilingualism. If it was fair they would have implemented a municipal referendum to be decided by the residents who pay the taxes. how can that be clear when Ontario premier Dalton Mc.Guinty refuses to provincially enshrine Ottawa's bilingual policy. For the province to mandate language without a referendum would be racist. Ottawa is a municipality and not a federal government. Even the federal government racially discriminates against English speaking Canadians with its unilaterally imposed language policies.

No it does not. I specifically used the word successful. And the definition of success, courtesy of the Concise Oxford Dictionary: 1. the accomplishment of an aim; a favourable outcome. And the definition superior: 1. in a higher position; of a higher rank. These are two totally different words. Learn to comprehend simple words.

The Monarchy does have a vibrant history. That is the only good thing I have to say about the Monarchy. But traitorous Quebec politicians have been abusing Canada's system for the benefit of establishing a foreign cultural takeover. The Queen has failed Canadians when she allowed Pierre Trudeau to repatriate the Constitution UNDER FALSE PRETENSES and without the wishes of Canadians. Trudeau used the repatriated Constitution to include unpatriotic, traitorous type amendments in the form of a Charter for the tremendous benefit of a corrupt Quebec. I am no longer a Monarchist and have no longer have respect for the Queen but am a loyal, devoted, patriotic Canadian that is part of the majority White, English speaking culture of Canada. Sorry pal. These are strange words coming from a Francophone like yourself. The last person you should be telling to get out of Canada is a White, patriotic, loyal English speaking Christian Canadian. Go tell that to your traitorous, corrupt Francophone, Quebec politicians. And stop trying to stifle free speech.

Currently there is no official federal national language. This is not to be confused with official languages. The states that have made the English language official do have exclusive use of the English language. States are free to offer language services other than the English language if they wish. Relating to Hawaii: http://www.alternative-hawaii.com/hacul/language.htm Alabama was also a previous state that offered documents in many languages. But Alabama smartened up and designated English as the official language of that state, like so many other states have done.

Your sentence structure and comprehension is comparable to that of an uneducated Mexican. Here is what you should have quoted: That was a reply to Dancers moronic preceding post in which I was reiterating his laughable iconic sign statement. I also included personal sentiments directed at his wife and children for being associated with such a domineering, controlling, manipulating individual who exhibits the same traits on this site.

That is a pile of horse manure. Canada is a Laurentian or St. Lawrence Iroquoian word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurentian_language

And why not? The English language is the undisputed majority language of communication in Canada. You almost make it sound as if I have the same influence and power as the federal government who linguistically discriminate against English speaking Canadians. The problem with you is you simply do not understand the corrupt manner the federal government is implementing and promoting autocratically, an obsolete, useless minority language, at the expense of tax paying, law abiding majority English speaking Canadian citizens. You are free to speak whatever language you want to speak and you know that.

No I would not. I respect free speech. And besides Sir Paul would never say such a thing, I think. Generally speaking I hold no animosity towards any Quebecer. Some of their their politicians and political system, that is a different story. No. The problem is, it is part of Canada. They are encouraged to do so because it is free. Many people enjoy freebies. But freebies incorporating divisive constitutional issues and federal government propaganda are truly an embarrassment to this country.

Your just to dumb to be able to differentiate opinions. And to that I say: God save your Queen, Flush her in the toilet and pull the chain, God, save the Queen.

What does this have to do with the British who WON Canada?

A crack whore or a transient alcoholic are not part of a productive society. The country would not be functionable if we were all crack whores or transient alcoholics or similar. Get over most humans are objects or pawns and yes are slaves to the system. A crack whore or transient alcoholic are worthy of nothing especially honour or respect. Human beings-NO. Sub-human, YES and do not qualify to be treated as a human being. There must be a distinction and rewards for being a productive member of a modern society. Cars or farm land have no productive value without productive people (human beings).

You reminding me means nothing. The fact is the English language in the ROC is being hijacked by Francophones. The weapon Francophones use is federal style bilingualism, primarily used to STEAL English speaking jobs and gain undeserved rights. This proves that you are in fact are illogical. Just check out Eastern Ontario and the federal official minority French language that is being propagated FALSELY as some SORT of provincially official French language. How about spreading some logic in Quebec and report back here after you have succeeded propagating the English language in Quebec to include the same linguistic ammendities Francophones enjoy in Ontario. BWA-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah.

It does make sense as the English language is the undisputed language in the U.S. and laws that require the English language, as ruled by the Supreme Court do not violate anyone's civil rights because federal and state governments and public schools exclusively use the English language.

Who the hell is talking about icons? That was your invention of the imagination. There is nothing mentioned in my initial post anything about icons. Comprehension a little slow CANADIEN? Are highway signs posted as icons the only highway signs you have ever heard of?

This concert reeks of political correctness and political interference. Property the concert is held on is federal land, although Quebec has a different reason for celebrating Quebec's birthday than the federal government. Promoters are the federal government and tax payers of Canada who pay for McCartney. Tickets are FREE-E-E-E. Federal propaganda ( the re-written politically correct version) is alive and well I mean how long will it be before the feds start sending vacationing Canadians down to state owned beaches.

No one really gives a damn, seabee. All most Canadians care about is who won Canada and that is all that matters.

All highway signs are iconic. End of discussion. Your wife and children have my deepest sympathy.

I was driving in hilly, winding mountain roads in Quebec and came across many signs indicating some sort of dangerous road conditions all posted in the French language. This is another indication how stupid the minority official French language is in Quebec. As if everyone visiting from Canada or the U.S., or even living in Quebec is supposed to understand an obsolete regional French language highway signs posted in French only. The federal government has an obligation to help save lives the lives of Canadians and Americans if Quebec is part of Canada and force Quebec to respect the majority English de facto language of the U.S. and Canada. The English language was made official by 88% of the population in Alabama and extends to the language used to pass the state drivers test. He speaks, by his own admission, speaks English at only a grade 3 level. Actually Alabama is helping preserve his life and the lives of others.

How is the little hacker doing to-day?

Another smart ass. Well, I will ask you the same question. You do realize the difference between "us" and 'US'. Obviously you did not write US as it appeared in the article. You used periods to separate the U and the S. That was the whole joke and you screwed up and tried to degrade me in the process. http://www.colorado.edu/Publications/styleguide/abbrev.html

You should have had the manners to ask what 'it' meant rather than come back in your usual self-rightous, pompous manner. "It" was in referece to Canada as a constitutional monarchy/parliamentry democracy. Just a bad edit. And you have zero evidence saying what you are saying. Certainly I would like to see more democratic initiatives offered to the citizens of Canada. Who wouldn't unless you are a communist or from Quebec. Anyways, Canada is not far off as a country run by a totalitarian government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic
