that you can feel at your home?
My mother's family is Quebec french from Champlain's time. My father's family is Irish and Scottish and has been in Quebec for a hundred and fifty years. My family has never lived anywhere in Canada outside Quebec.

Boo ****ing hoo. Imperial France lost a war 250 years ago and you're still whining about it. Canada treats its French citizens better than Quebec treats its English citizens, and has since well before you or I was born.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

So why, in your point of view, there is animosity and bigotry towards english speaking people?(From french speacking)
Don't worry, though. The policies are working. In 50 years there will be all of 12 Anglos left in Quebec (the rest having moved to Toronto). They'll be imprisoned in a gated community in Westmount and the rest of the province will be allowed to monitor their every movement on CCTV to ensure that they aren't subverting the proper place of the French language in Quebec.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Having returned to Montreal after 14 years of absence, I can really honestly say that I never remembered the city being so... French before, and I don't mean that in a good way."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Can you speak french?
If yes, I find it hard to believe that you were really alienated. I mean, you had a french mother, one side of your family was "pure laine" (if I do understand that your mother side, were actually french speaking). You surely had french friends....
What I want to point; I think it's normal that you felt a stranger, if you used to go to an english school, speak mainly english, into a french province.
My mother came from Cochrane, (north of Ontario), she was a french canadian. She did his first class in french, but there was no french high school, she dropped school and began to work for his father.
She didn't had english friends and she moved to Abitibi, as soon as she married my father. But I think it's normal, that you dont feel as your home, somewhere who doesn't have the same language and the same roots.(except for our common history as a part of Canada).
I understand the grief of english quebecers for some laws that has been adopted from our government; mainly the one about the school.
And I do think, 30-20 years ago, we were needed this laws. And maybe now, we can think about modifying some linguistic law and make it less rigid.bleh

The most pathetic thing about Quebec & France is their insecurity/persecution complex."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
