Canada can suck pre bad..
Fucking cold as shit in the winter

Grades 4 through 9 we are forced to learn french... about 10%ish of Canada is french speaking, but they dont have to fucking learn english. Fuck them.

Hockey sucks..

shits way cheaper in the US, not just cause of taxes, the price of the object itself
thats all i can think of lol

First,
Canada's population : 34,478,000, Quebec's population : 7,970,672
Percentage of French speaking Quebecers : 80.1%
So there are approximately ­6,384,509 french-speaking Quebecers
(6,384,509/34,478,00)*100 = ~18.52% of french-speaking Canadians ( this does not include francophone communities in Manitoba or New-Brunswick)

Secondly, school in Quebec has 6 years of Elementary school, 5 years of Highschool. Since the new change made by the government a few years ago, Quebecers attending french schools have English classes from 3rd year of Elementary school up to the last year of Highschool. If they go to college they get one more year with english classes.

Get accurate informations next time.

lol moron the only reason Quebec's first language is french is because there's more french speaking people than English.
After the eighties, Pierre Trudeau gave us rights.
such as the right to speak in our own language. Not to mention the right to equality,
so it's a contradiction that the same charter that grants equality is racist.

And if you really hate the french that much, move to Saskatcewan. There isn't a single french person there.

all im saying is the english is looked on like dirt in canada atleast from ontario to the maritimes and they really dont deserve that and federal goverment is compltely run by the french and u can make a remark about oh stephen harper is prime minister hes english true but hes only looking out for himself , admitelly id say the era of the french egotisctiness has ended it was mainly the 80s with trudeau who was the worst prime minister in my opinion ever u had one good point trudeau gave the french rights , rights he took from the english



theres more english pepole in canada is there not shouldnt the OFFICIAL language be english no exceptions ?
User avatar #208 to #189 - IVIasterSix (06/10/2011) [-]
well English is the official language of all of Canada, french being second.
it's only in quebec that french is primary, and thats just cause theres more french there than english, so that's just common sense.

And while Trudeau was very ahted in the west, he did give us our fundamental freedoms and rights,
so he did do some good. not to mention destroying a band of terrorists. (which was badass.)

There are some countries like that:
Finland has 2 Official languages, Finnish and Swedish but the majority speaks Finnish. Switzerland has 4 : German, French, Italian and Romanch but the majority speaks German. Same goes for Luxemburg, Belgium and Afghanistan.

Plus, IF they would make english the only Official language, that would only help the independantist cause in Quebec.

i dont hate the french they perserve our culture they just dont let us to the same , and if u knew the single thing about history youd no the only reason they speak french is cus when the brittish took quebec they gave the pepole there rights and let the french keep there culture and then they repay us by almost seperating

Actually when Quebec (called New France back then) has been invaded the British tried to assimilate the Quebecers.

In the 1800s, Lord Durham wrote the "Report on the Affairs of British North America". In that report he said that Quebecers didn't have any culture and that it was better for them to be assimilated.

Unfortunately for him, that only made Quebecers harder to assimilate. So you should blame him for that.

No beileve it or not , if the bittish wanted the french gone it would have happened they were still one of the most powerful forces at the time a simple french city was nothing to them im sure they had no problem killing them all if thats what they truly wanted.

what's wrong with being bilingual? Our stuff is more expensive because or minimum wage is almost twice that of the US, and our economy is in a much better position. Don't like cold winters, eat some food and gain some weight; or get a fucking coat.
User avatar #128 to #106 - IVIasterSix (06/09/2011) [-]
Actually no, you arent forced to learn french. and 27% of canadians can speak french, 8% are bilingual.
and yea, hockey isnt that great.
But no, they arent more expensive, our dollar is just worth less than americas.

DERP. Get your facts straight.
#168 to #128 - meowmeowmeoww (06/10/2011) [-]
pretty sure i am forced to learn it, kthx
Our dollars are pretty much the exact same now...
And obv things are cheaper, exchanging currencies and shit would take away any difference in the dollar

DERP. Why do you think if people live in southern canada they go shopping in the states?
User avatar #209 to #168 - IVIasterSix (06/10/2011) [-]
they go shopping in US because its a loophole. for example, if i went to a target, and decided to buy something with a canadian five,
they would hold it at the same value as an american 5. I did just that and got some kick ass shoes really cheap for just that reason.

and our dollar is actually lower now, it's 91 cents.
