 No, you're wrong. Just because it wasn't used, doesn't mean it wasn't 
 EXPRESSLY permitted. Trudeau didn't give any new rights away in this regard 
 like you are trying to imply, unless you think trudeau wrote the above 
 quoted IX. 133 
  
 I call all "polite" rascists like yourselves by their real names, hatefull 
 bigots.  You're as bad as the french extremists. 
  
 There's no sense in talking to you, even when it's pointed out just how long 
 both languages have been officially used ( because let's be clear jackass, 
 when it says french can be used in the constitution it's pretty "official" ) 
 you go on with your hateon for trudeau and the french in general.
