Stephen. I really have no idea what you wrote in French....wish I did. ....Deliberately being obtuse.....No honestly, I may be a tab slow....hey which meaning of obtuse are you using here. :-)

My kids have the advantage of being able to converse in French but not I. Being born in Timmins I do recall being able to understand some French when I was very very young but moved to Toronto and lost whatever understanding I may have had.

You said...."In fact anybody at all educated would know what it means.".....

My apologies for being uneducated.

Many of the people I know live in English/Chinese or English/Italian or English/Portuguese neighbourhoods and they take the French/English Bilingualism as an affront, especially when they hear repeatedly in the press that Quebec is adamantly Unilingual.... they think the bilingualism should be relative to the people who live there not to the people who do not.

Since I live in Ontario, I have long believed that the best possible course would be for Ontario to separate with Toronto becoming a it's own funny little socialist world, and the saner rest of the province becoming anything but part of Canada.... I would prefer Ontario Join the US and the rest of Canada do anything they want as long as Ontario doesn't have to pay for it...
