Leafless

Latimer DOES NOT OWN HIS DAUGHTER. If he could not handle her situation, allow someonelse to do it. Latimer is not God. Latimer plain and simple murdered his daughter.

By allowing MORONS to run the country this is what Canadians get, political correctness. Your right, our only alternative is to FIGHT BACK.

It is more like plain Canadian incompetency, as these problems should have been determined at a much earlier stage with the parts readily available and installed with little inconvenience.

I have always worked in the technical field and used imperial with no problems EVER. Don't give me your shitty metric European analogies as this is North America and Canada's measuring system should still be imperial like our single most largest trading partner. BTW, Canada and the U.S scientific communities have always been metric anyway. Metric is superior in this and other certain areas as it is computationally advantageous but does not beat out the imperial system for the normal everyday measuring system required by by the general population.

Certainly. http://www.languagefairness.org/Cost.php My information says it ranks 14th and the nations mostly are not of prime importance. http://www.photius.com/rankings/languages2.html Don't be ridiculous. Are you saying the population of Quebec are really that stupid and don't know what politically is going on? Sadly, they are convinced French is the way to go.

Pierre Trudeau and Bernard Lord are both Quebecers, bilingual Quebecers. The resemblance is the undemocratic fashion Lord presented the new Official Languages Act of New Brunswick on June 4th, 2002 in the same undemocratic fashion Trudeau implemented the Charter that basically serves Quebec ideologies. http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/lo-ol/bulletin/...3/loi-act_e.cfm Harper is STILL playing conventional politics and IMV will be using Lord to expand bilingualism throughout Canada something the Conservatives do not want to be seen as doing this themselves as there is no way they want to be associated with Liberal bilingual policies. Certain areas could be pulled back but my money says there will be a net GAIN. Mr. Harper wants Quebec votes at any cost. Lets just sit back and watch the scenario unfold.

The metric system was one of the dumbest things Canada ever implemented. The reason for that is Canada wanted to be first to have the jump on the U.S. thinking the U.S. would also switch to metric. But our largest trading partner never did switch to metric and remained imperial and now we are sitting here with a one half of a metric system nobody wants with mostly everything metric converted back to imperial anyways for the consumer. Canuck logic scores again!

There is no government policy relating to Christianity and immigration. Christianity, even though it is by large, is the majority religion is not supported here in Canada by our federal and provincial governments and continues to be treated with disrespect as time progresses, even though the country was built hand in hand by government and Christianity.

The 1963 Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism was a Liberal effort with Quebec being an influential part of the Liberal party. IOW this 1963 Royal Commission could have been entirely fraudulent, for the main purpose of forcing Quebec ideologies on the ROC. Bernard Lord is a Trudeau clone in the same way he forced official bilingualism on the province of New Brunswick as Trudeau forced the French fact on the ROC. Why Harper would have confidence in such undemocratic actions from a man like Lord is a mystery and an insult to the majority English speaking population of Canada who I am certain would be against further undemocratic Nazi style implementation of any kind of forced language legislation.

We do know the social cost of (official) bilingualism...it badly discriminates. The monetary cost of official bilingualism has been previously estimated at over $700 billion dollars by a Toronto accountant that also has been posted many times on this forum. It is also a very poor way to forcefully perpetuate a dead, obsolete language on the ROC for no other reason than to forcefully demand a sense of Quebec linguistic respect. Is this your opinion or can you provide a cite? Is it really all that important if Quebec remains in confederation or not as Quebec's demands are totally unrealistic as compared to all other provinces.

You mean like how you spelled "canadians". Obviously you are not a believer of your own diatribe.

The Liberals have traditionally been dominated by Quebec making the Liberals in reality a Quebec party. They have traditionally suckered in the ROC with appealing socialist policies and layered on the icing with the 'Charter of Rights and Freedoms' that basically benefits Quebec and their nationalistic ideologies. Now the Liberals are confronted with a new type of conservatism, AKA liberalism meaning spend, spend, spend. This of course leaves the Liberals in a bind when confronted with their own type politics. Where will this take Canadians? Where else, but down the tube, and this is the route where dysfunctional politics has taken us. Its time for a new political system preferably without Quebec.

Your responses are unacceptable. Go to hell Dancer!

So what did Lord actually do outside of: This is providing that: How is this so different compared to other municipalities in Canada 'where numbers warrant' excluding of course the requirement of undemocratically forcing seven cities in New Brunswick to adhere to the new legislation. http://www.gnb.ca/cnb/promos/languages-langues/cron-e.asp Why should lord be commended for forcing this kind of draconian language legislation on cities in New Brunswick.

My mind is made up and proof was previously presented that there is no net contribution to Canadian society by Canadian immigrants. IOW, they use more resources than what they pay in taxes. Talk about impoverished.

You must have your blinders on. Violence has not happened in Canada since there is NO political resistance against Islam. Christianophobia exist in Canada and even members of this board attack Christians and their beliefs as well as the gay society, atheist and of course including believers of Islam. A British MP had this to say:

Many native Canadians work two or even three jobs just to buy food and pay their property taxes. Canadians do not need the eager competition from the previously 'starving have nots' from third world countries but require a government that will NOT rip off Canadians to the point where as there is no incentive to reproduce. IMO, immigrants can stay where they came from.

Like the old saying goes... There is a sucker born every minute. In Canada we have a country full of idiots to dumb to ask questions and demand answers.

New Brunswick is a province where its majority residents speak English. New Brunswick has the largest concentration of French speaking only citizens outside the province of Quebec (9.2%) with Ontario following next at .37%. Few can really understand why anyone initially would want 'official bilingualism' with the English language of New Brunswick at 57% and French only at 9% with other languages spoken. http://www.roadsidethoughts.com/prov_nb.htm http://www.languagefairness.org/Bilinguali...ril_1__2003.php

It seems like it is a lot higher than that. Politically correct television commercials and media advertisements portray a disproportionate number of foreigners and Blacks that lead viewers and readers to believe that Canada's Black and foreign population somewhat equals Canada's White population. What a relief!

An 'officially bilingual province'? Quebec is NOT an 'officially bilingual province. In fact there is NOT a bilingual policy to be found ANYWHERE in Quebec. The French language was made official unilaterally by Quebec provincial legislation and is NOT officially recognized by anyone in Canada including the federal government.

What a joke. Harper must ask himself, or clearly identify what he means when he said: Obviously what he is talking about, is the French language communities across Canada and NOT the English minority community in Quebec that have been discriminated upon by the 'French Language Charter', and the total omission of bilingual policies in Quebec and the continuation of Quebec being allowed FEDERALLY with their use of the oppressive 'notwithstanding clause' to oppress and discriminate against the English minority in Quebec. This so called English minority is not any kind of minority in Quebec and is part of the English majority of Canada and deserves the federal support of 'Charter Rights' in Quebec. I certainly hope Mr. Harper will see the linguistic light and call a spade a spade and treat federal bilingualism policies accordingly or totally scrap 'official bilingualism in Canada.

This is only currently speaking, of course as Canada's immigration policy is not U.S. friendly.

Large groups rebelling against the political status quo in this country is not what I would refer to as 'the majority killing the minority' but as anarchy.

Can't blame this one on climate change. Only the Great White North can bestow Canadians with an abundance of traditional cold crap.
