Charles Taylor
"La question est de savoir si on veut garder le français comme langue publique commune ou si on veut que les francophones de souche demeurent majoritaires. Dans le premier cas, où on définit le français de telle sorte que tous puissent y être associés, il n'y a pas de problème, le français va demeurer majoritaire à Montréal. Si on parle des francophones de souche, c'est autre chose. Mais veut-on garder la langue française ou une majorité de francophones pure laine?"
Mr. Bill on federalism
It's difficult, after reading something like this not to feel sad. Maybe [he] accomplished more in his eight years than meets the eye, but it often just seems like he dropped the ball. Reagan was a puppet and Bush was a company man and Mr. Bill might just have had a clue but we'll never know. While he was in Canada, Mr.Bill also celebrated the opening of
Battleship America and recalled fond memories of
visiting France.
