CANADIEN

Nope. We are recognizing you're an idiot.

:lol: In the English language, a double negative becomes a positive. Before imposing your language on others, try learning it. BTW, New Brunswick has English as an official language (along with French). Can't have a Premier able to speak more than one language, now can we? Perhaps there should be a law banning anyone from unilingual anglophones to become Premier. Yeah right. English is under threat in Ontario. And Dalton McGuinty is a kitten-eating lizard.

It is the business of the country, through its givernment, to guarantee the rights of its citizens, including the full right to use any of the languages of the country as they see fit. And it is not unfortunate that you don't get it... makes for good entertainment. The name of the country is CANADA. So now, soeaking the two main Canadian language and being aware of one's rights as a Canada is being dumb. This coming from someone who can barely express himself in one. :lol: Since they are no corrupt language policies in this country, it is obvious that French is not dead. Checked the latest census? A language spoken by more than one in five Canadian is obviously not dead, but you don't get it. Residential schools, unilingual education policies... Government policies aimed at suppressing other Canadian cultures were a key component of the "propagation" of English-Canadian cultures.

I meant the real English, not your bastardized version... the only one here that manages to be even worse that mine. To simplify it to you. All prvincial governments are welcome to negociate with the federal whatver arrangement suits their needs. You're the one who claimed that Quebec as the status of a country. Typical leafless, not having a clue on even your own postings.

As I said, I will never get non-sense. What I believe is clear, but not to you. Your problem. Nice to see btw that you finally got the right spelling for de facto. In the English language, same status=same status, no matter how to twist it. When people who were told in the school that their French language and their French-CANADIAN culture were not good enough, they still kept it DESPITE legislation. You don't get that, or the fact that forced assimilation is NOT freedom. Irrelevant, since we are talking about the French language, not an obsolete one. But only once culture is worthy of existence. Yeah right. :lol:

You're a joke. And an hilarious one at that.

James is usually translated as Jacques. Look for example at lists of British Kings or Jesus' disciples. Jack to would be translated as Jacques. John = Jean.

Thanks, I needed that. (Laughing)

Please do. I need the laughing.

English translation, please? Go tell that to Duceppe. It will come as a surprise to him.

English translation - there is nothing you can prove. Which is why you want it to be given sole official language status in Ontario. You dpn't get it. Your own words, in bold In English, same status is... same status. You will never get it. In a free society, btw, each individual is FREE to choose among the languages of that country the one they'll use. Residential schools and legislation banning French from the schools are NOT freedom. Leafless the noble defender of multiculturalism. :lol: I am proud to admit that I don't get the drivel you post. I only get what makes sense.

Same location as your brain.

I hope the Director of the National Battlefield Commission will be sent packing on that one. Not for organizing a "re-enectment" of the two battles (let's not forget that the Battle of Sainte-Foy was also included) but for clear ineptitude and stupidity. He should have known that there would be people bent on stirring controversy, and plan things a lot better. Politicians of all stipes should be ashame of themselves, for turning this into a political football. As for the embarassment - it is the separatist movement that embaraased itself the most. We are in 2009, not 1759, and the "bad Anglos and federalists are bent on humiliating us and still want to assimilate us" line has sunk to new lows.

So that the children of immigrants can stay poor and uneducated?

A great day for Quebec and the whole of Canada! A bunch of innoffensive guys who like to dress up in old military uniforms and playing war has been sent packing because a bunch of yahoos find what they do humiliating. What's next? Let's change the name of the Montreal hockey team? Think of the humiliation for French-speaking Montrealers of being reminded that one of their main source of civic pride for the last 100 years is called CANADIEN. Or perhaps Jacques Parizeau should change his first name... after all, Jacques=James, Wolfe's first name. Must be so humiliating.

Arguing that Jupiter was actually real by using the Bible. :lol:

You'll find quickly enough that this is rare thing coming from him. I would not go that far, but fact is Parkman's writings with his noble Europeans civilizing the land and Montcalm and Wolfe has noble heroic figures has little bearing with reality. One more reason to have the week-end "historians" have their fun. Only idiots would see it as an attempt at humiliating anyone.

This coming from the one who believe non-existing Roman Gods have a monopoly on the alphabet, and rely on the Bible to prove that argument. :lol:

Link Each provincial-federal agreement is dddddiiferent. The one with Quebec has clauses not found in other agreements, and vice-versa.

And then, there is the text of the Franco-American Treaty of Alliance Sounds clear enough to me. :lol: :lol:

The Constitution is very clear that immigration is both a federal and provincial jurisdiction. The Immigration and Refugee Proection Act allows for federal and provincial agreements regarding immigration. BTW, the respective balance of power of each provincial governmet vos-a-vis the federal government is separate of the issue of the rights of individual Canadian. You still have to demonstrate that equal status of two languages discriminates against speakers of one of the two languages. You can't, but you don't get it.

BTW, has anyone told the moron (Duceppe0 that the commemoration will include a re-eneactment of both the Battle of the Plains of Abraham of 1759 AND the 1960 Battle of Sainte-Foy (a FRENCH victory)? (LINK)

Hear. Hear. Let's the history buff have their fun day.

This has nothing to do with freedom of expression. The event is nothing more and nothing less that a bunch of history buffs re-eneacting a battle. Politicians should mind their own business, which is to run (or criticise) the government, and let the Battlefield Commission to its job, which includes letting people do historical re-enectments as long as they do it safely and clean after themselves. On the other end, it is somehow gratifying to see that the Bloc's cause has sunk so low that Duceppe will grasp at any straw. He should get a life.

Indeed, French is an official language of Canada. So is English. You do not get it. Superior to what? The English language, which is also an official language, with EQUAL status? You do not get it. The only relevant reality is that French-speaking Canadians ARE Canadians and that they will never again treated as second class Canadians. But reality, we all know by now, is somehing you will never get.
