Did you ever go to school *anywhere*, fella?

Montreal is one of the most beautiful and cultured cities in the world,
and is a major contributor to the essence of what is Canadian. That a
large minority of French-speaking citizens of Quebec would like to
"separate" from Canada does not negate the importance or significance of
that province.

It is so typical of low-level right-wing trash like you that when you
encounter a group of people you don't like, you want to put them on a
boat and ship them somewhere. It is among the most Nazi-like of
right-wing characteristics, eh?

The world would be a lot better off without bottom feeders like you. But
we have a tolerant society (well, for the moment...and perhaps it will
continue if Bush is defeated this fall) and nincompoops like are still
allowed.

You've got to spend less time sitting on the wood outhouse seat shaking
your head. You're going to be choked by the hair growing on your palms.



I will agree that Montreal is a beautiful city. I used to visit every
winter on my way to ski at Mt.Tremblant and Gray Rocks. Sometime in the
late 60s or early 70s, the people developed "attitude". I knew they could
speak english from previous visits -- suddenly they wouldn't (but my
american money was welcome). They mandated all signs be in French To the
extent of driving out an olde english stationers shop that had been there
for over 100 years.

I had picked up a few words of french, but they were outright rude to
anyone not fully french speaking (however my money was still welcome)

Mid 70s I gave up. Quebec now serves as the best example of why Bi-
lingualism should not be tolerated in the US. Were I Canadian, I'd say
give them the freedom they say they want, and let them sink into the
economic depths.
