Do you know that you are playing the same song of many French Québécois who are saying that English Canadian culture doesn't exist. Remember the fichon rouge de Bernard Landry. Personnaly, I'm taking pride to be able to enjoy Neil Young, Sarah McLachlan, Natasha St-Pier, Céline Dion and all our other great Canadian artists. And about Bill 101, it is very strange that last year, I didn't see much complaints when our Federal government tried to limit the circulation of the Canadian edition of well-know US magazine, like Sports Illustrated and Time. Of course, this time, it was not coming from Québec. Have a good night all. Yours truly, Gilbert Leblanc

JS, We are in a long term averaging towards English on the North American continent. I expect that French will slowly abate over the next few hundred years, continuing the path it has been on since the war between England and Fraance. This is a natural effect of a smaller culture immersed in a larger one. Erosion from the edges inwards. The amount of English spoken in Quebec is greater now than it has ever been at the higher levels of education. The only place English is losing ground is with school dropouts since all those who want an education for their children make sure their kids learn English, if only as a second language. Bill
