Vancouver � Vancouver's Olympics have the opportunity to be a model for showcasing Canada's bilingual heritage, but more must be done, the country's official languages watchdog says in a new report.

    When will Quebec just keep to there words and seperate already. They are becoming more of a annoyance than they are worth.

    They signed a new law where every quebec citizen was required to have snow tires. Ontario tire shops had to deliver a large ammount of tires to Quebec on short notice which means a large number of ontarioans will not be getting snow tiers this winter, and will probally cause more traffic related deaths.

    We throw so much money at them, they get so much rights and yet still bitch about seperating. The large percent of Canada is english, they are going to have to get use to that.

    The long arm of the language police just got a huge shot in the arm.. but that's another topic. You'd think they wouldn't even know where Vancouver was but I guess someone blabbed.

    That said, I can't really find fault with them demanding snow tires. If statistics show that most of the accidents are caused by folks with the wrong tires, it's worth the effort to make it manditory, as long as it can be enforced.. unlike the language laws.
    Wait though.. are snow tires a left or right spectrum topic? I don't want to be ruled off side here.

    He said there are certainly enough francophone artists to fulfil the need but "we haven't noticed there will be an artist from the Francophonie."

    Whaaaaat?

    Language watchdog, who the fuck created that position anyways...Hope there's a language watchdog in Quebec, making sure English is in everyway represented like French in Canada.....wait, there's bill 101 nevermind.

    Be more bilingual for the 0.001 percent of Quebecers who only speak French to actually travel accros thousands of km to a place they probably never heard of.
