 Grow up and stop trying to shit the troops. 
 French was never an official language of Canada! 
  
 The Federal government always worked in English because 
 this is an English country. 
  
 Why do you suppose the French always used the fact that 
 the Army was English as an excuse not to have to fight for Canada? 
 That's the reason for the french only providing one sixth, per capita, 
 of the number of troops that the rest of Canada provided in the 1st 
 great war? (5% of the total troops) 
  
 You want to learn a little of Canada's history.  You've been listening 
 to much to the Quebecois.
