The last time you checked was apparently the first time. There's actually been a debate on that issue for months in the French papers. You know, debate, exchange of ideas, discussion of facts, that thing the rest of us do while the Gazette blames everything on the PQ. 2.Your sarcasm is justified on this one. 3.The Official Languages Act applies to the Federal government period. Constitution 101. These are things we talk about in Québec ALL THE TIME! There is no justification for someone who claims to be informed to get those wrong. 1.Equality between men and women was added to the Québec Charter of Human Rights on June 10th, the very day of your post.

The MMF should rename themselves Le Mouvement anti-anglais de Montréal. Like the OLF, seems it's only English that bothers them. I guess the slew of uniligual Arabic signs on the eastern part of Cote-Vertu doesn't bug them. And it's Pauline's proposals that will cause more and more people to leave Quebec.
