I've heard he's pretty cool in person.
Same, unless they initiate after being aware of my recognition I would never approach a celebrity in public.
why not both!?
Brother, I know that was hard, the hardest thing you've ever done. After 8 deaths in the family in the past 1.5 years, I've accepted that there is nothing we can do sometimes except put on a brave face and grieve. I believe we are close in age and unfortunately this is a normal part and parcel of life. Saying good bye to loved ones, no matter the circumstances, isn't ever easy. Just remember that grieving is just a reminder of the love you had for that person.
They have literal language police who will charge you with a crime for putting up a sign written in English on or in your own privately owned place of business. If you think that's peachy keen you are cut from a much different cloth than I.
They will take you for all you're worth...
Legends!
Did these guys used to get booed in Canada too?
The even more legendary version!Is that Tugboat on the right? I feel like I should know these guys.
My mind is totally on the Rougeau Brothers though....they were fun to hate.
One of the things I don't agree with there. I guess you assumed I was on board with that eh.
Fair. But I do feel like your statement that, "They are the only province, sadly, that tries to preserve their own culture and it is well within their rights to do so," could be read otherwise, and certainly would be by the champions of language policing.
I get how frustrating quebecers can be but I've never agreed with the pushback on French. Its our 2nd language . We were founded by British and French settlers. There's nothing wrong with wanting to preserve it.
Perhaps. To be honest I totally forgot they do that. But I'm definitely not on board with it. Especially with English being the second native language.
It wouldn't make sense in most of Quebec just as you wouldnt have Chinese signs in most of America. But America is full of Chinatowns full of Chinese signs and other accommodations. Another factor is that Quebec is apparently part of Canada with the rest of the Anglos, who are the majority of the country as a whole. If we are tallying population shares to come to these conclusions this seems relevant.
I'm afraid the .00001% of the US made up of Chinatowns wouldn't justify anything significant in terms of policy change.
Don't you see how the exact same logic applies? Isn't it perfectly okay for Anglo-Quebecers to have their own areas with their own culture? So then why are they subject to laws which specifically target the English language? It would be like if the federal government had laws openly designed to marginalize French.
