They are certainly not all French. You confirm you know nothing about Quebec. Examples: Moncton, Fraser, Saunders, Aberdeen, Brown, Wolfe, Dufferin, Bishop, Crescent, and a lot more. Almost every town in the Eastern Townships have an English name.

They did.

The presence of British culture, as modern as it was, as outward looking, progressive (slavery had been made illegal in Britain around 1770) was enough to make the French Canadian scared and incite him to violence.
You are sooooooo wrong.

I gave yo a link to google maps, I am finding it hard to see one single English name. And we have Montpelier Street, Beauchamp Place and Cheval Place in London, and towns such as Ashby de la Zouche, Fern la Chapelle etc, we arent getting all angry about it though. :)

Oh, I got it!! That green paper stuff that China is not giving to the USA because of tariff.
What part of 'China charges less for its product to offset US tariffs' is confusing you?

That is not the same as giving money to the USA, as Trump claims. It is the US importers and customers that pay for the tariff. Could you provide me a link to confirm your claim? I tried to look it up, did not find anything.

I would be surprised if there werent any, as I said though, there are plenty of French names in England, we dont get upset about it though. Dont you think this is really a problem the French have, and particularly pre-revolutionary French, and in fact nothing to do with the acts of the British, because lets face it, South Africa didnt have these problems, with the self same British...

Er, yes it is. And I am not saying this is what is happening, but it is one way that tariffs can result in a transfer of money from the supplier to the tariff imposer.

Ahh, right, you are resorting to semantic argument. OK, bye then.

And your current generation has made it illegal to put a sign on your business in the language of your choice. And if you wear any overt religious symbols (turbans, crosses, yarmulke, etc) you are not welcome in the public service or as a teacher. You guys are awesome!

I have to agree with you, here. Been to Quebec: sucks. In fact, francophones, in generally, are a self-righteous group of bigots. Quebec, Belgium, and the and the seat of the pestilence, france, itself. What do you expect from people who's language doesn't count up past sixty (i.e., no actual word for seventy, eighty, etc.) - but a language that, itself, is dying. Bwaaah-haaah-haaah!
