Trade up or not, he better be more careful this time. She won't use his golf clubs on him if he cheats, she has ski poles! :D

Merlot, Merlot, Merlot...mon beau petit gars, can you show me even ONE post I've EVER made that is against the French language or Francophones? JUST ONE? Give it your best shot. Take all the time you need. I'll make a deal with you...if you can find one anti French post that I have made on this...

The problem I have with you, Merlot, is that you never pick a side. You always sit on the fence, trying to find good on both sides. That doesn't work here in this case. There is nothing good or defensible about discrimination.

I automatically discount any report by Victor Malarek. The guy is hardly an unbiased reporter and has done a number of biased reports on human trafficking and underage prostitution in the past. As for the border agency not having access to the sex offender registry, it really would make little...

Merlot, Often the English writing on a sign is so small as to not even be readable when on a commercial sign, even signs in the Metro, where even the French language script is not very large. On traffic signs, both languages should be of equal size in the interest of safety. If you can actually...

Merlot, the reason for religious based school boards goes back to the influence of the Catholic Church in Quebec. Even then, there were both French and English school boards and even if the religious based boards existed today, the same language laws would apply to them. As for the language...

If by 'not too distant past' you mean 5 or 6 decades ago, well even then the so called fat lady at Eaton's who wouldn't serve French people is more of a fable than anything based in truth. We aren't in the 50s or the 60s anymore, this is the second decade of the 21st century. Women have the vote...

Rumples, people may try what they wish in their attempt to distort history, but there were never any laws against the French language here in Quebec. French was never banned from signs or forced to be half the size of English. There were no language police enforcing English over French. If...

And here in Quebec they're trying to create their own apartheid based on language instead of skin colour.

The best time to teach a child a second, or third, or fourth language is to start before they even begin school. Children learn languages much easier when they start as young as possible. If you wait until a person has reached high school age to begin learning, things will be much more difficult...

Merlot, this law has nothing to do with separatism. It really has nothing to do with 'saving' the French language either, it's not in danger and they very well know that. It has to do with xenophobia and racism. It has to do with power and the manipulation of the populace to maintain that power...

But things could always be worse. We could be living in the USA. :D North Korea tells its people how Americans live today

Merlot, did you actually read your post #25 in this thread? It is so misinformed that it's laughable. When you end it with ' Vive les Français!!! ' don't expect a kind response from me. No one is dismissing the French culture or language here in Quebec. In fact, anglos are bending over backwards...

Can you be any more racist? Crime isn't in the Quebecois mentality? BULLSHIT! Crime has nothing to do with someone's nationality or culture. There are 4 million unilingual French speaking people in Quebec. The French language is not in any danger here. Quebec is becoming an international...

It's ridiculous how little the Bruins have played so far this year. I don't think they have more than one day off in a row once we get to April. That's a hell of a way to end the season because they're gonna be tired when the playoffs start. The Habs are impressive this year in the way they...

I guess no one bothered to watch the Academy Awards this past weekend where William Shatner was an integral part of the beginning of the show. Only 40.3 MILLION Americans watched the show plus millions more in Canada and many millions more in the rest of the world. A shame that they started the...

That looks really interesting and it has a good cast. I'll check if I can get it on demand on MPix or look for the Blu-ray. Thanks! Celebration Day kicks serious ass from the opening notes right through to the end. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

This past weekend I watched Skyfall, The Hobbit and Zero Dark Thirty and found all three to be well worth the time spent. Skyfall got the job done and actually surprised me with some things and put a smile on my face at the end. While it's far from the perfect Bond film, it was enjoyable and...

This is the best and scariest hidden camera joke I've ever seen. I'm surprised someone didn't have a heart attack! This is a must watch!! Over 25 Million views in 4 days! http://www.youtube.com/user/dogproduction

While I still believe that Shatner is more famous than Celine, you can't minimize Celine's popularity as a singer. She's sold over 200 million albums, a number that very few female singers can even come close to and she's on most every top ten list of female singers that you can find. Even...
