Go, Already

how many languages can we use to tell the word gestapo feurher aka "language commissioner" to f**k off and die.

But, we have a Conservative Gov to protect is.right?

Well they are the dumb as a bag of hammers group that gave OBamBam the Peace prize because! well just because.

How about "Les Snowbirds" then?
Don't think Les Oiseaux Du Neige does it.

Funny you mention this I could not agree more kate.

I have a story for y'all if you hunt or shoot you will want to know this .

Bass pro shops in Canada informed me that they will no longer be able to stock the gun cleaning product BREAK FREE as the company refused to capitulate to the French language police in Canada by putting it's label in French as well as English so stock up while you can, same goes for the Remington squee-G universal gun cleaning kit. look it up on you tube it's getting amazing reviews by people and we can't have it here in Canada because the language police in quebec insist the instructions be in French as well as English.

So Kate I could not agree more with your title .

GO ALREADY!! I'LL HELP YOU PACK , GTFOH, we don't want you leave vamanose,au-revoir shooo , scram,beat it!! screw quebec they take our money but enforce this kinda crap on us? screw them.

How about the Montreal Alouettes? Montreal Canadiens? Change their names to something bilingual!!!

You will never convince me that the Harper party is conservative.

I got it! The Flying Frogs.

How about ... The Mange Le Merde Birds you cultural bigot.

Hey Kate,

I think this sort of bilingual naming is already in place in the Canadian Forces --as witnessed by the ridiculous names (and acronyms) for vehicles that have to work in both languages. So a 2.5 ton truck is a MLVW: (medium logistics vehicle, wheeled), etc.

What about 425 Alouette Squadron? Not easy to translate and their motto is in French, where most other squadron mottos are in Latin, ie 'Promptus ad vindictum' 'Ducimus' etc...

You'll notice that the PostMedia story can't even bring themselves to use the term Royal Canadian Air Force, which is again the correct name, but only refers to the CAF or Canadian Armed Forces.

Here's an English nickname for Quebec, "not our problem anymore". Telling them to go away and firing every civil servent who spents more then 50% of their work day sucking up to Quebec would also go a long way toward balancing the budget and paying off the national debt.

Possibly related ....

Can't understand how the attitude generates hostility!

A Montreal woman who moved to Manor SK got an earful from the volunteer fire chief she woke up ... She called 911 to complain about her neighbor's bonfire.

Moves to a town of 250 ... acts like a d----e and gets told off ... now complaining about getting told off.

Cry me a river.

The Official Languages Commissioner should not lose her job, the position itself needs to be eliminated.

What is the point of keeping Quebec? Seriously.

If the Harper Conservative government sent all the federal servants layoff notices and only re-hired the ones doing essential or worthwhile work, the budget would be instantly balanced and the national debt retired in a generation.

But the Timid Conservatives are not all that bold, nor all that conservative.

If the truth be known, the Harper government only has control of about 2 to 5 percent of the federal government.

The vast majority of the federal government is run by an entrenched bureaucracy, a self-appointed elite, who believe they have a divine right to rule over the serfs.

If Quebec left , who would care? I mean really. They are the millstone of Canada. Around its waist. Sinking not only our credibility,future or growth. It acts as a vacuum sucking the money from every province of he Dominion, while being a bastion of the Mob.

with french in my heritage I know I will never be perfect!!!!

Will the Language gestapo seriously go after any Quebec based company/organization on the complaint of an Anglo-Canadian? I doubt it. After 42 years someone finally has a problem? sounds like that idiot who worked at the Human Rights commission and regularly filed claims and collected on behalf of "wronged" parties. his name escapes me but not the disgust I still feel at his actions (and that of the compliant HRC).
