] Date Posted: 22:21:14 11/05/04 Fri In reply to: Jim (Canada) 's message, "You are doing it again" on 22:18:33 11/05/04 Fri "We must look to the future and concentrate on healing wounds and working together, not harping on about things from the distant past." I'm sorry, but I don't hear that sentiment about WWII on here. That was a horrible event in which some of my relatives died, and the people who started it be damned, but ordinary Europeans on both sides paid for it. The same can be said about WWI or the Vietnam war. "This is also a problem in my country with Quebec's racist language laws." So I gather, they are very unfair as regards the indigenous languages of Quebec. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:02:14 11/12/04 Fri Curnoack: FYI, the language laws in Quebec benefit French at the expense of other languages. The indigenous peoples, such as the Cree and Montegnais, live in remote areas of the north and are rather insular. The real target of Bill 101 is the anglophone population. Yes, there is a jurisdiction within the British Commonwealth where the outward display of the English language on outdoor signs will get you a fine! You might find it hard to square this reality with your own preconceived biases... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
