Watch out, there ARE French speaking people in and around Halifax... I know, I lived there 13 years. As you you leaving Québec... bon débarras.

He may be saying "good riddance" to you too.

As a French Canadian living in Quebec you could have added some substantive perspective to this thread, but you ignored the opportunity and only made a few off-hand comments dissing the opinions of others, and a few "funnies".

Pretty lightweight (and safe) participation.

Depending on the "junk" in question, I would neither want to encourage nor insult him.

I usually get along with everybody, English, French or other... and in case you missed it, I did live outside of Québec for a while. Do you really think I'd be this active in an almost exclusively English forum if I didn't. Sorry, but Jambo hasn't deserved substantive perspectives from me. Besides, he lives in Québec, he's gotten all the substantive perspectives he deserves and his mind is made up... he thinks the French Québekers hate him. I just think he's the one who hates.

I'm a pretty good guy on this forum, very rarely have I insulted anybody here... except when they deserve it.

Go fuck yourself!

I wasnt asking for your substantive perspectives, feel free to give them if you like..

My dislike of Quebec is not toward the majority of the people but more about the separatist element and a Xenophobic PQ government that hates Anglos and Allophones

That's better... guess we hate the same people then.

One more thing though, I lived outside of Québec for many years... a lot of Anglos out there that were no better towards me, the only reason being that I was a French speaking Québeker.

I don't think I suggested insult. Saying someone has "issues" doesn't qualify for that.

You were, however, writing to the forum readership in general. You said "Seems like Jambo has issues", not "You have issues". I immediately wondered what those issues were, and how you yourself saw them. You seemed to be wanting to lead into that, but you didn't amplify, with the result that it just became a "drive by" point.

I wasn't suggesting that Jambo needed the substantive perspectives (and he didn't ask for them). Some of the rest of us might have been interested though.

You wouldn't have run into that around where I live, unless you insisted on speaking French.

Difference being you werent subjected to living under the linguistic rules and regulations of an English version of Bill101 or be worried about complying with an English version of Office de la langue Francais

I'd speak to you in English, you wouldn't even guess that I could speak French. That's the advantage of learning languages when you're young... no accent.

Yes, my wife is like that. So are many of the French-speaking people I know. It's to be envied.

I'm bilingual too, unfortunately not in French. My French is school French, and I have to think about what I say.
