For all you "Quebecers are treating Anglos like second rate citizens" type:

CBC.ca: I'm an anglophone Quebecer who voted Bloc Québécois. Here's why.

Alright so we know now how one man feels.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I don't know if we treat them as 2nd rate citizens but we treat them better than how they treat francophones in the other provinces.

And this, ladies and gents, is an example of the rhetorical fallacy known as "tu quoque".  :D

Inability to take criticism isn't a good trait.

Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The source of the criticisms is important.


Fallacy is such a weird english word to me. While it's used often, I never quite remember what it means & have to look it up.

I love how you still manage to criticize Quebecers, even in a discussion about how Anglophones vote for Bloc Québécois lol. You're in the right profession, that's for sure.

crazy canuck

/non sarcastic/ can someone explain to this BC boy what the last few posts have been about.  I feel like I did watching the last Avenger movie  :D

Zoup's found a Anglo who voted bloc therefore all anglos are bad. Also English Canada apparently treats francophones as second class citizens.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.


Grey Fox

I said that Quebec treats it's anglophone minority very, very, very well & argued that RoC anglos have no standing to say anything, especially with the way they threat their francophone minority.
