CANADIEN

Except his own words. he was honest on the issue of race that's the only reason... Not particularly. On most topics, I find him more hype than substance.. Except for the part about trying to restaure America's image, that is. That I find totally irrelevant.

You're an idiot. Point outlined. Never mind that the tape does not exist. As for the rest of your rant... Typical lictor... She is expected to view herself as inferior, but never to identfy with the inferior group. If she had written about identfying with the whole of society, you would cringe at her sheer audacity of her thinking she's woeth as much as a white woman.

And too bad for minority rights, right? Sorry, but government services in Quebec MUST be offered in English as well as French, because the English-communities and inhabitants in Quebec have a right to access services in English. This is what this country is about.

:lol: :lol:

And a version of the same crap used be said about Irish, Portuguere, Slavic immigrants. Thanks for making my point for me.

Simple, all I would have to do is write this... :lol: :lol:

They have even had some rights other Canadians didn't... like the right to decide in what Canadian language to educate their children. As I said, it didn't match your prejudice... Too bad for you. I am not sure if Iiiii should laugh at your dismal command of the English language, or at the sheer inanity of your comment. Oh wel... :lol:

The usual... Quebec's language laws are bad, but the other provincial governments should dp the same.

Thanks for admitting that French is not an artificial language, (...) a product of your imagination.

If we start talking about the level of planning involved in the evolution of a lnaguage, then everything is artificial. When thinking about Esperento or the "build-up" second language you have been alluding to, pthe term "artificial" may not be the moost appropriate describer. These are languages that have no foundation in a culture and a society that uses it in its daily life. Esperento has not caught up because of that. Of course, leafless uses the term "artificial" in a diffrent sensse, meaning something that has no place in Canada. But that's another matter.

There are two official languages. Sorry, I forgot that trying to make any sense of what you write is an exercise in futility.

We have two national languages, and they are English and French. As a Canadian, I'll decide where and when I use my language, thank you very much.

Actually Leafless, most people don't speak leaflish, and they rely on the English language definition of the word artificial. BTW, love your maths. 2 billions times 40 years equals 1 trillion. :lol: Still not getting it, I see.

Your Christian spirit is as admirable as always.

Mark the day. Something that makes sense coming from you. Non-citizens that commit violent or major crimes should be kicked out.

Downtown is more than just the sum of it's bad aspects. It's also vibrant with arts, music, and beauty. Depends how people chose to look at things.

There are (unfortunately) some immigrants who are bigoted ignorants. Those are like you, so why do you whine about it?

(...) artificial language do not work.

Then you move out of the cities because there are too many people different from you. And theirs. Thanks for admitting it. Me neither, and neither do most immigrants. Since I don't self-segregate, and I know plenty of people who don't either, why would admit to something that is not factual?

What is being said now used to be said about immigrants from Italy, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, etc. It was even said about immigrants from certain parts of London. And guess what happened. By the way... speaking of freedom. Why is it you clamour about how free we are then refuse to extend it to all?

Refusal to assimilate, that is the refusal to give up one's identity, is quite different from refusal to integrate. You refuse too have anything to do, or even to see or hear, anything that is not from your own culture. Does not mean that those who do not assimilate feel the same, that they refuse to be in contact with the world arounf them. Many, and I have seen myself, are more than happy to learn and take from the larger community while remaining who they are. It is those who refuse to have anything with people different from them who are self-segragating.

People from everywhere have made Canada what it is. People from everywhere make Canada what it is. People from everywhere will make Canada what it will be.

I do not feel any personal guilt for things I did not do. But when whine about immigrants are merely guests, remember that your ancestors and mine were guests too. And today's immigrants are not exactly conquering anything, now are they? Actually, you don't understand, period. I'ts about living by the standard we've have set as a society.... freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom for individuals to choose how they live as long as they do not infringe on the right of others to to the same. Nothing more, and most certainly nothing less. Getting away from yourself? On behalf of the city, thank you. And how do WE dress? In ripped t-shirts, or in suits? In conervative skirt and blouse, or like Britney Spears? As long as you're not walking naked on the streets, how YOU dress is none of MY business or anyone else's. The same goes the other way.

Who cares? If a 14 year old can basically show her panties in public, I am not about to be fazed by a burqa. then they scare easily. Good thing, because nobody is asking you. You mean the First Nations, right?It is the country of anyone willing to make it his/her home and abide by its laws. As much as you are the guest of the First Nations, right? People who come here and decide to make this country their home and to abide by its law is anything but a guest. I live west of Spadina Avenue.
