Too bad they gave in, but I can understand them deciding it's not worth the hassle to fight. You cannot legislate culture, or language. As much as I don't want to see Canada split up (I live in it, after all), it wouldn't hurt my feeling to hear that all the bigots (this is a spectacular demonstration of anti-Anglophone bigotry), separatists and Bloq malcontents were headed back home to mama France.

They spoke very disparagingly of French Canadians while shopping at the Honolulu International Airport, where I worked while going to college. They included Cajuns from New Orleans in their negative remarks. I can't quite remember the context of this conversation, but I remember thinking it was all rather surreal.

This story just underscores why some Canadians find French-Canadians tiresome. They take themselves way too seriously.

Thank goodness the rest of the country doesn't allow language police to have such a voice of power. Quebec is not officially bilingual, it is a province with its own laws that supposedly act to protect the continuation of the existence of the French language there. But the clock is ticking...
