Canada to firmly re-assess its status as a British colony

[Malthus]

Great. We've gone from adding British royalty to the armed forces, to transexual French royalty.

Canadian Royalty!

Sure, and if King Louis XVI had had a vagina instead of a penis, he would have been Queen Louisa.  So what?

Huh?  I stated my point already.  Saying things like 'Well if France had won the Seven Years War it all would have made no difference because once the Revolution happens..'

Well that is a pretty big departure to just assume everything would have gone the same way.  Even something far less significant like the personal failings of Louis might have had it go far differently.  That is why Alt His does not really work for  me, my suspension of disbelief is hard to get out of the way.  Did I not just say this exact same thing?  Why are you asking 'So what?'?

No need to be redundant.

Hey!  Louis XIV looked macho in his silk stockings.

Okay, transexual Canadian royalty, if you insist.

And six-inch heels. And wigs. And makeup. And ... oh wait.

I dunno?  Do the English do such things?  Do the Germans?  Do they feel so strongly about their culture that someone displaying another cultural artifact is "Deeply offensive" to them?

Yes nobody else in the entire world is offended by anything.  Only French speakers ever get offended.

Anyway they banned it as a religious symbol not a cultural one.  They see it as a breach of the separation of church and state.  Like some Americans find nativity scenes on public grounds offensive.

The headscarf is more cultural then religious.  Some Muslims do not wear it.  I ask again, did the Germans or the English ban this?  I believe in Britain Welsh is an official language.  Does France have multiple official languages like the UK.  Is Breton protected?  Must signs in Southern France have Occitan "more predominate"?

Why don't you google or wiki for these answers? I dont get it.

BTW, if French language policy were applied to Canada then there would be no French signage outside of Quebec and English would have to be fully accepted in Quebec as well. The Quebeckers have it way too good.

Your wikipedia article mentions bilingual signage in Brittany. I've seen Occitan street names as well in Toulouse.
It also mentions this article from the French constitution:
« Les langues régionales appartiennent au patrimoine de la France.»
— Article 75-1

cf. A revision of the French constitution creating official recognition of regional languages was implemented by the Parliament in Congress at Versailles in July 2008.[2

Jacobinism Third Republic style is passé now.

Yeah I had a big write up about the bilingual street signs in Occitanville and the protection for minority languages,  but I decided the whole conversation was getting ridiculous.

Since when has that stopped any Languishite?

Since when has that stopped any Languishite? 

In this particular case it was Barrister Boy instructing us to stop responding to Raz.  I thought responding to him after that would make me look bad.
