Bonne fete Mike et profite bien du bon temps :)

Btw, it is Oliver Wendell Douglas ;) Definition used in the US... (I guess in Canada it is easier to become urban) metropolitan statistical area (MSA) must include at least: -one city with 50,000 or more inhabitants or -an urbanized area (defined by the Bureau of the Census) with at least...

Blainville or Terrebonne aren't rural areas!! The last that I know, it is suburbs unless the suburbs considerably shrinked last night! Also, I'd say that those cars in that region are even more in demand than in Montreal.

My backgroud is particular... My grand-father (very young at that moment) and great grand-father came from Enlgand. They decided to live in Trois-Rivieres. The second wife of my great grand-father was francophone so he had to learn french but that was a mixed french/english. My grand-father lost...

It is not because you went to english or french school that you can't speak both languages... It is not because you went to an english/french school that you'll be better prepared to face the world... It is by working and learning. The more that you learn to more normally that you are prepared...

Like I said poor english people in Quebec... Pray for them... English will still be used because 1- there is far more people around Quebec talking english than french 2- it is the business language 3- even with the laws french is losing ground to english. On the other side, english is...

So, you are NOT bilingual and why say that you are. What do you think the poor french canadians have to do outside of Quebec? Rare are the schools (specially universities) that are in french outside of Quebec. Look how easy that is to turn your big argument around!! As for your father, it is...

Jejeje Debo haber cogido el ultimo sitio por las mismos cosas ;)

Strangely, it seems that I worked for outlaws since EVERYWHERE where I worked I saw external/internal/official/unofficial papers in english only... The only thing that I know of is that something that affects all employees has to be at least written in french but there is no problem it is in...

We are saying the same thing but you expressed it more clearly. ;)

I guess you were saying that to Techman since I didn't talk about dollars...

BTW Quebec don't outlaw the english or any other language... And to answer your question about to show you at least one state in a country doing it the same way that we are doing it here, it is easy... Catalunya has a similar law on Catalan The passing of the Law of Linguistic...

knockermocker, as I suggested previously, maybe you should open up and see there is a world around your belly button and keep an open mind about it. Magasinage (btw really really good choice of countries that you made) even showed you places where they do talk different language than other...

Small question... where are you from? I think the name (french canadians) that we receive from outside is fair... You are also missing the point by being stubborn as stubborn Quebecers are missing the point. Diversity is something, liberty is something else, money is also something else...

Hehehe I guess he knew also Yes, no , toaster ;) Maybe yes, maybe no, maybe rain, maybe snow... You are right that if you are going outside of the Greater Montreal area it is less likely to find people speaking english but it is still possible because I went with friends in Saguenay and...

For once, I don't have to argue with metoo4 ;) I do agree with his statements. I had also the same experiences in the US (Memphis, Dallas and Anchorage) that some people detected my accent and asked my where I was from so I told them Montreal and they started to talk a few words of french...

You are right I forgot to look at the playoff stats

Euh what do you mean??? Here is the list of players that won the Calder trophy in those years and Roy isn't there 1989 Brian Leetch New York Rangers 1988 Joe Nieuwendyk Calgary Flames 1987 Luc Robitaille Los Angeles Kings 1986 Gary Suter Calgary Flames 1985 Mario Lemieux...

My point is that who knows what can happen. Roy was a normal player (Juniors stats 6.26, 4.44, 5.55 not something that I'll call a star player) until that serie. I am not saying that will happen this time but still a goalie can win a cup even if there is no offense. Most of the time defensive...

Sorry but in 86 Roy was unproven like is Halak or Price are. Price is already compared to Roy. And sorry again but I was mistaken, I thought you wrote the post #93 about goalies/defense not able to win the cup but it was Doc so basicly the question was for him. I don't know what was in our...
