M> of course theres tension on both sides..i never said there wasn't...i just   
M> said that alot of it was provoked by the english speaking part..             
SS>                                                                             
SS> You keep saying we provoke them... HOW do we/did we provoke them? By giving 
SS> to just about everything they've ever demanded?                             
SS>                                                                             
SS> Because some French speaking fellow is refused a job in a large multination 
SS> corporation on the grounds that he can't speak English? Well, the Quebecois 
SS> have to remember... French is not the langugage of commerce. English is. If 
SS> person cannpt speak English, EVEN IN QUEBEC, he/she is of very limited use, 
SS> that 1. they can never be transferred to positions outside the province to  
SS> work, 2. They are unable to communicate with business clients from other th 
SS> Quebec... The US for example.                                               
SS>                                                                             
SS> Like it or not.. English is an internationally spoken language.             
                                                                                
true...but if you look...more Quebecers are Biligual then Ontario....and        
countries like Germany, Sweden, Etc...they have like 3 official languages..and  
most speak all 3...could be more effort on the English part here..
