- I just mean that the situation in Quebec was better. Now, having Canadians
- saying that Quebec is racist (what the original poster said) because
- natives are missing something (if 70% of them have education in their
- own language the statement is far from accurate) while the situation
- in there own province is worse, then, I call this either bullshit or
- Quebec bashing or misinformation. NB Steve is not the original poster.

- A Rome, on fait comme les Romains. Surtout si, comme Steve, on est
- justement venu au Quebec PARCE QUE LE QUEBEC permettait a ses
- enfants d'avoir une education en francais (puisqu'il avait deja l'ecole
- en anglais avant de venir) et qu'il a cru au mythe que le Canada etait
- un pays bilingue.
-
- P.S. Quelqu'un a-t-il tenu le compte du nombre de fois ou Steve
- nous a livre essentiellement le meme message, ou on lui a repondu
- essentiellement la meme chose? Est-ce qu'on peut decerner a Steve
- le trophee du record en fait de plus grande redondance dans
- l'utilisation du reseau? Ou encore, on peut l'appeler Don Quichotte.
