CANADIEN

Nice play on words. Doesn't change the fact that once again you do not know what you are talking about. That's very clear from the definition of apartheid YOU posted.

The assisine statements have been yours, and all yours, from the first you exposed this site to your cluelessness. And we are all still waiting for proof. Because they were not. Where is my leaflish-English dictionary again?

Not one bit. Remember, in Ontario English-speakers cannot get government services in their language, and now on top of that they can't vote and they're barred from living in certain areas. After all, that's what apartheid was. So there must be an Ontario in an alternate reality/oarralel universe where this happens, because it's not happening in this universe yet if Leafless says it it must happen somewhere.

Nowadays, I barely watch hockey except during the Cup finals or the Olympic. Let's admit it, the avarage NHL game pales in comparison to most games we have seen over the past two weeks. I'll take yesterday's game or even Canada-Switzerland any time over Toronto-Carolina. As for North American players choosing the Cup overthe gold - no surprise there, it is so part of our culture (Canada's anyway). But let's face it, rarely will any of our top players say no to the chance to represent our country at the highest level.

So says the clueless one who was the first to claim that being part of the Commonwealth was sufficient for Canada. You almost make sense... almost. A strong Canadian presence in La Francophonie means less appeal for your pipe dream... Quebec getting out of Canada. Besides, as others have pointed out, Canada is a full member, not Quebec. Imagine that... more markets for CANADIAN products. Including products from New Brunswick, Ontario. Manitoba, etc. And of course, you hate that... But then, you can hardly wait for bad things to happen...

Back to the original topic. I am still waiting for anyone to demonstrate that membership in the Commonwealth precludes membership in other multinational organizations.

Something original from you... and equally non-sensical. I am (not) impressed. As for the rest, not worth commenting except... Did I forgot again to warn you that I was being sarcastic? I forgot that sarcasm is on the long list of things ou are clueless about Ooops

I'll pass on your repatition ad nauseam of your usual clueless non-sense about NON-EXISTING discrimination and corruption, your absolute lack of knowledge of parliamentary democracry, and your hypocriticaldemand for the same type of legislation you denounce when it occurs elsewhere. Even without that, there are enough gems to embarass you. LIKE... Only in your clueless mind is mandating English and French something that is anti-English. BTW, stil wanting for a list of municipalities where English has to be smaller than French on signs, where people cannot get government services in English, and where immigrants are forced to send their children to French schools... We all know you can't produce one. OR So... you can;t wait for things to go bad. This will be remembered next time you misuse the word treason. and after that we have... Correction. It demonstrates how much of an idiot you really are. Like anybody in their right mind would actually care where in this great country of ours MLW is hosted. and then there is... Thanks for reminding us that having English on signs, sending children to an English school,and obtaining government services in English are excessive rights in Quebec. And I thought that this were rights that any Canadian in Quebec should enjoy. and my "favorite one" Soo... now we should fear that Quebec-style language laws, which you want for Ontario, will lead to gaz chambers. I stand corrected... You're not an idiot, you're out of your mind.

And considering what they are, it would be a great idea to start borrowing or stealing a few ones.

The only chocking that almost happened was when I read that piece of cr*p you wrote. I have been able to do my job AND follow the Olympics. Parliaement would have been able to do its job and the vast majority of Canadians would have been able to deal with it and the Games at the same time. Go Canada Go!

Some businesses decide to have signs with chinese on them, The English language is sooooo threatened.

There are 377 French-language schools in Ontario, including 19 in Toronto. There are 12 french-language school baord, managing records through out the province, not only in the Eastern and northern part, but also in Brockville, sault Ste, Marie, London, etc., etc. Your facts, crearly, need to be updated.

Of course, elections Canada does not ask "How high?" when Harper says jump, so they most be controlled by the Liberals, right? BTW, it is normal procedure for the losing party in a court case to appeal if they think that the judged was wrong. The conservative Party would have done the smae, and it would have been OK for them to do so.

Let's see here. 43 countries (actually a little more than that, I am sure) is not exactly what I would call universal. As for French dying. Other ignoramuses like you will still be claiming that six generations from now, disproving the claim right there. Suffice to say that it is still one of the top languages when couting first and second languages spoken, and that it has had the largst growth on the Internet (after Mandarin) sicne 2000.

Go say that to all people around the world who do NOT Speak English. And French is an official language in most countries of the word than Spanish, Russian and Chinese put together. First, the world does not speak English alone. Second French is spoken in various parts of the world. Third, French is a Canadian language, same as English. Actually, they were mostly in Mandarin, and English and French have an equal status in the Olympic movement. Nah, igoring you would be no fun.

He makes sense to you. WOW LOL

I find pink hair off-putting. Unless it precludes a government employee from providing me the service I request, that's not a reason to deny employment.

Apart from the fact French laws apply in France, not Canada, you are still unable to prove that there is any place in Ontario where people are prevented from getting public ervices in English, or putting English signs at a store, or where access to English school is limited. Since neither English or french has been proclaimed as an offical languate at the provincial level in Ontario, you do not have a point, a clue, or a logical reason to whine. Language is a mode of expression. The USE of English or French when dealing with governments is a right at the federal, and in Ontario, at the provincial level. Thanks for reminding me that I do not have to be taxes as an Ontarian. I am still waiting for anyone to show how I apply for the exemption though. BTW, don't worry, we all know that you are clueless to the fact that there is nothing in Ontario that prevents elected city councils from offering services in English abd French.. BTW, forgot about Ontario's French Language services Act AGAIN? Apart from the fact that no rights of any Ontarians is threatened or affected because citizens in Ottawa can be their property taxes in either french or English, thank you for admitting that you are no better than the "one-language only" baffoons and fanatics who whine everyt time someone dares to put English on a sign in Montreal. Nope, since technically they don't. They establishes French as one of the languages of municipal services in some municipalities. Imagine that... French as an asset in the capital city of CANADA, or in communities where there is a sizeable French language population. Don't worry, it has been determined long ago that common sense eludes you. What provincial and federal governments do is governed by their responsibilities to serve all citizens according to their rights. as for private businesses, if I do not like what langauge(s) they choose or not choose in dealing with their clients, I just go elsewhere. In all of these cases, the decision by an employer to demand certain skills and knowledge, including knowledge of any language, is not discriminatory. A job is not a right - it's something one gets when the prospective employer has decided that ones meets his/her/its needs. LOL first, I do not despise any province. I have a problem (and a huge one) with legislation that limits what Canadian language a person can use. such as Quebec laws or the type of laws you would like in Ontario. Don't worry, I do not expect you to understand the difference. Second, unless you can prove that the owners of mapleleafWeb chose to host their site in Alberta because of the provincial language legislation there, where they are located is as much relevant to this thread as it would be to a thread about gay and lesbian rights, or immigration policy. That is, not at all. When claiming that I admit to something, try to get a clue on both the facts and on what I say, will you? First, there is a reason why I would not use the term Nazi-like to describe even Quebec langauge laws or the type of laws you want from Ontario; it insults the memory of the victims of the Nazi regime. don't worry, I do not expect that your prejudice will allow you to understand it. Second, Quebec language laws and the type of laws you want for Ontario both deny languistic equality and reduces the rights of Canadians. The federal Official Languages act does the opposite. Once again, don't worry, I do not expect you to get that either. Third, it has been established (to your great sorrow and to that of the BQ, amazing how you look alike) that the Federal government is not bound by provincial laws when deciding on its language policies (nor shoud it be), and that Ontario DOES have more than language policy - remember the French Language Services Act? Fourth, the only opinion here that can be classified as second-class is yours, nto because your first language is English (or something that looks like it), but because you make no sense whatsover. THIS is what I admit to, not your delusion. I won't bother commenting again on your cluelessness when it comes to constitutional amendments or parliamentary democracy ((NOTE: SARCASM FOLLOWS) btw, I am still waiting for the referendum on women's vote (END OF SARCASM)) BTW, you know of course about article 133 of the B.N.A. 1867: You will notice (or most probably be clueless to it) that 1- Under the B.N.A , French and English had an equal status at the federal level (also at the provincial level in Quebec, btw) 2- Nothing in the Act precluded the federal government from later adopting these two languages, equal already in law, as the country's two official languages 3- Nothing precludes the Ontario government or other provincial governments from deciding in which Canadian languages they can offer their services, and in what languages municipalities can do it 4- Not a single word in the BNA Act of 1867 precluded changes made in accordance with the legal process

I wasn;t aware than anybody was talking about what languages is spoken in private businesses. Feel free to stumble into the absurd. I have said what I had to say.

Apart from Rwanda and some former British colonies, how many countries in recent years have switched to English as their sole official language andhave abandoned their national languages. Please feel free to give us the number. and the names. Is it the Netherlands? Danemark? Japan? China? Brasil? Please please enlighten us.

French schools DO exist in Ontario. Actually, access to french schools in Ontario is less restricted than access to English schools in Quebec.

What was ridiculouswas the 8 year freeze. The number of working people using food banks iINCREASED during that period. Economic conditions vary from a province to another, and each provincial legislature is the best equipped to determine what minimum salry should be.

If we gonna have Olympics, we should be doing it right. As for the "while people sleep on the streets" routine, and that's what you're down to... I for one do not need to see anything more on your idea.

People who visit a foreign country have to expect that a lot of things may not work in their own language. Last time I checked, people travelling from Quebec City to Vancouver or vice-versa wersa are not travelling to another country, and they expect that at least the government of their country will be able to server them in both of our country's national languages.

Of course, since that stetement is absurd. Your knowledge of Ontario is obviously equal to your knowledge of history, First Nations, languages, religions, or simple common sense and logic... absolutely non-existant.
