 Do you have Ontario tags on your car? I guess not, so you 
 would not notice that their cops will pick an Ontario car out 
 of a string of quebec cars all traveling at the same speed 
 and pull the ontario guy over. 
  
 Did you notice that your language had to be printed in a 
 submissive way on all signs? 
  
 Have any of the Quebec cities passed bilingual policies 
 that mandate all  their supervisors to be bilingual in order 
 that staff members man work in either official language. 
  
 Do the cities bother to print notices in english so that you 
 as a tax payer knows what's going on. 
  
 If none of the above indignities don't bother you then 
 perhaps you are not as Anglo as you profess, either 
 that or we are going way to far out of our way to make 
 life reasonable for the French in Ontario.
