[QUOTE="DS, post: 348955, member: 556"] From another perspective,up here in the great white north,there is no Spanish on anything unless you go to a specialty store. Everything here is written bilingual,French and English.I'm not sure of the real stats,but I bet less than 10% of Canadians speak French as thier first language.Its a sore spot for some anglophiles that say its a huge waste of taxpayer money to spend so much tax money on such a small percentage of the total population,but the French people played a huge role in our heritage and in making Canada what it is today. Francophone Quebecers think that they are a "distinct society" and that they should have every right to everything everyone else that comes with being Canadian,and I agree with them. When the USA attacked us in 1775 french,english and indians formed an alliance and successfully thwarted the attempt. If George Washington had got his wish,his attack on Quebec city way back when then we'd all be Americans now. phew...no hillarbama crap sorry for the rant [/QUOTE]
