Nonetheless, having only one parent who speaks a language in the home makes it far less likely that the children will speak it, especially if that language isn't also used in the community around them.
Pierre Elliiot Trudeau was also a true half francophone and half anglophone. He grew up in an personal, family and urban environment that was conducive to him becoming very fluent in both languages.
Haar; you've got your tighty-whiteys on backwards again haven't you?
Paul Rose, Jacques Rose, Francis Simard, Bernard Lortie were all cowardly traitors and a muderers; bet you got their pictures over your biffy.
Nothing new here.
Those people were definitely lowlifes BruSan but they are far from an accurate representation of Quebec's independence movement. There was a guy (I forget is name) who tried to murder the Quebec premier a couple of years ago in the name of a united Canada, I don't think he is representative of the anti-independence movement either.

Despite being marginalization by the Anglo-dominated government and being assimilated in other provinces, French speakers have persisted as the majority in the province of Quebec. The Quebec seperatists lost referendums for independence in 1980 and 1995 (the second time by a razor thin margin of 1%) but these elections have been called into question under allegations of vote tampering and fraud. Despite these defeats, independence remains a permanent fixture in Quebec and greater Canadian politics.
What do you think? Does the Quebec independence movement carry legitimate grievances, or are they a group of opportunistic troublemakers?
No it is not a legitimate movement. Think about it. Quebec has benefited immensely from being part of Canada. We freed them from the Catholic church. We also saved them from American imperialism not once but twice. That Quebeckers are not oppressed, never have been in any way. All Canadians have been equal since day one and that includes the Pure Lines as well as other Quebec French speakers. There is a professional class of agitators in Quebec who's mission is to spread radical philosophies that misguide Quebeckers, derailing the Canadian unity. A lot of Quebeckers who don't know any better have been taken for fools by this ideology and have been radicalized to support Quebec's language patrol enforcement and even outright independence. The truth is that Quebec can't make it without Canada and would rapidly descend into third world status without our help.

Look I see that I am blunt but at least address my points instead of trying to use humour to evade the point. I did start a conversation with Acajack about how Quebec has benefited from being part of Canada, then the thread was closed.
