Nope, not ignorant i've heard all the reasons Quebec thinks it should get special treatment..i just don't happen to agree. There are many distinct cultures within canada that speak their own language, and yet Quebec is the only one that seems to need laws and special teatment to keep their culture.

I highly doubt you have!
The general attitude towards Franco Canada has always been negative. This dates back to the plains of Abraham!
How would you feel about Franco Canadians if they were the majority & were intolerant towards your minority?
I'm sorry, but there is two sides to the story....
Back to the history books...
Yes, the British did allow the french to keep their civil law, religion, language & culture.
But, their long term goal was to eliminate the franco/catholic culture & assimilate the population.
This eventually failed as the French adopted "la survivance"
Why can't westerners make the French language more acessibile to their children? In Canada we are creating more unlingual people then bilingual!
French is a beautiful language! What is wrong with learning both?
Although I am anglophone, I went to a french emerssion school. I thank my parents everyday for that!
