 Come on! That's a load of horse shit and you know it. 
  
 There are no "semantics" in the FACT that French was not used as an official 
 language of anything, save Quebec, until Trudeau re-wrote the constitution 
 to 
 include French as an official language of Canada in 1982.  And you know 
 it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
  
 Nor is there any hate in setting the facts straight. 
  
 Why do you people always resort to name calling and not a sausage of fact.
