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.. You keep saying we provoke them... HOW do we/did we provoke them? By giving in to just about everything they've ever demanded? Because some French speaking fellow is refused a job in a large multinational corporation on the grounds that he can't speak English? Well, the Quebecois have to remember... French is not the langugage of commerce. English is. If a person cannpt speak English, EVEN IN QUEBEC, he/she is of very limited use, in that 1. they can never be transferred to positions outside the province to work, 2. They are unable to communicate with business clients from other than Quebec... The US for example. Like it or not.. English is an internationally spoken language.
