CANADIEN

Canada is part of the Commonwealth, and it is it's own Country, with its own Constitution. As for the Queen, we are talking about the same one who SIGNED the Charter IN PERSON, therefore consenting to it, right? As I said, nobody on this site. You are welcome to prove me wrong by showing all the postings on this thread by people other than you who claim French is a foreign language. Aside from the fact I am not French (something you will never comprehend), I'll admit it... I do not comprehend things that make no sense whatsover, including about everything you write. Happy now?

Talking to yourself again I see. It is a known fact that integration or assimilation more often than not occurs with the second generation, the sons and daughters of immigrants. As for them "following the cultural example of Quebec", French-speaking Canadians everywhere in the country are retaining their CANADIAN culture. You're not claiming that the culture of an immigrant freshly landed is canadian, do you? PS: What is the Constitution that the Constitutional Act of 1982 violating? There must be one, and you must be able to show what section(s) of it was (were) violated, since you claim the 1982 act is unconstitutional.

And I still don't know what that game is.

Not a replacement. A clue to the fact that you'd have to manipulate the question big time to win your famous referendum.

Nice to see that for you a woman's choice doesn't include her right to decide by herself, knowing the facts and the risk, to got through with her pregnancy. Danger to the life of a mother is one case where I feel her decision to abort is justified, but so is her decision to bring a new life to the world no matter the risks. Abd I wonder how the kid reacted to you basically telling him tpo his face in didn't deserve to be alive.

Salvaging something that is not in danger.... Whatever. And I thought immigrants were choosing English. Make up your mind, will you?

Indeed, I would have to be really clueless to interpret his comment that way.

Yep... Just a few more thousand dollars and I can buy myself a nice townshouse condo... Hopefully near High Park... You know Toronto right? :lol:

The lawful Constitution gives the government the right, indeed the responsibility to protect and advance the rights of all Canadians, within the parametres set up in the Constitution. alongside French. So says the guy who wants the Ontario Government to impose English-only on business signs. And yes, what CANADIAN language I use is definetely not any of your business. You missed the part about the legislatures of nine provinces out of them agreeing to the Charter, including the provisions acknowledging English and French as official languages at the federal level. Let me check... the Official Language Act was enacted in 1967, the Constitution was amended in 1982, Meach lake was in 1987 and Charlottetown in 1982. Looks to me like chronology is another of your weak spots. They knew exactly what the Charter said. Not everyone is clueless. Then, we won't mention polls that indicate that a majority of Canadians support the Charter and agree that Canada should have two official languages.

Here's leafless doing his usual "what I said is actually not what I said" dog-and-pony show. With a bonus... now the CONSTITUTION is unconstitutional. :lol:

It is also all Canadians, whatever their CANADIAN language is. You, on the other hand, have made abuntantly clear that only the speakers of only of the Canadian languages should have rights.

You can of course show us the part of the British North America Act (BNA) that gives the PM the right to declare any law to be unconstitutional. And failing that (and of course you will fail again), you can of course show what is the section in the BNA that can be used to prove the Constitutional Act of 1982 is unconstitutional. Because you know of course that the BNA is our original Constitution, and that for a law to be invalidated as unconstitutional it has to run contrary to the Constitution.

Don't worry, most Conservatives have the capacity to understand a lot of things. Not everyone is as clueless as you are.

Are you telling us that French-speaking Ontarians always had the right to be educated in their CANADIAN language? That Franco-Manitobans always had the right to use their CANADIAN language in the Legislature? That French and English have always had an equal status in New Brunswick? That speaking a First Nations was never a ground for a good beat-up in a residential school? Having the right to be educated in only one of this country's languages and to use only one of this country's languages is NOT having the same rights. Oh, but I have been assimilated, so to speak, from my younger age, in a national language of Canada, which I and more than one Canadian in five have inherited from about 15 generations of Canadians... the language in French. Logically, I have no need to blame myself for anything.

In the same referendum that determined that women were persons, that Blacks had the right to eat in any restaurant, and that Chinese could migrate to Canada. All those measures were voted by our freely and democratically elected representatives. You don't like the BRITISH parliamentary system, move.

Sounds pretty clear to me that that's where the governments' authority to advance EQUALITY of linguistic rights comes from. English translation please.

All of mine told me to go to Part IV of the Constitutional Act of 1982 (link) And guess what? leafless is wrong... again.

Mind you, it was still Victorian times when French was removed from the Legislatures and the Schools in the Prairies.

Less we forget, the right of others is a form of special status in your limited mind.

Expending linguistic rights so that they apply in ALL of Canada is not forcing anything on anyone, except in bigoted ignorant minds such as yours. So the answer is an obvious no.

English translation please? I am still waiting to see evidence of those mythical "Quebec" charter rights forced upon us by Trudeau.

Canada is NOT an extension of the U.K., but its own country. But not to worry, nobody here thinks English is a foreign language in Canada... we're just applying YOUR latest "logic". Don't blame us if it doesn't work.

Apart from the fact English is not common to all Canadians, and that French is not common to all Quebecers... Quebec being a province of Canada, and therefore part of Canada, French is NOT foreign to Canada.

Stop trying and succeed once in a while will you? That's what things actually are like. To follow your "logic", English is the national language of the U.K. therefore it is not a national language of Canada, which makes it a foreign language. I know, doesn't make sense but hey, that's YOUR logic.

And I find it to be garbage because it reduces the war to nothing more than a "kill the Taliban" joyride.
