I visited Quebec for a few weeks one summer (in the early 80z)

The college 'friend' who was with me (briefly in Montreal) seemed quite hostile to the French language (especially when I was speaking to the locals IN French) and commented that:

'The British should have taken care of the problem when they had the chance' :!: :!:

I especially enjoyed Quebec City, as I was there during the the annual Jazz Festival (and the culturally challenged idiot had departed)

The Green Citadel on the approach to the City is spectacular :thumright:

Canada is the Kinder, Gentler America that the Elder Bush often spoke of.

If Canada did not already exist, we would have to invent Canada.

The only thing that I often sense is their allegiance to their much-ballyhooed socialized health care system.

I LOVE Canada and Canadians! Great People and Country!

When I think of Canada, I think of a beautiful wilderness that seems to exist without end.

If I was the Canadian government I would be calling the BQ's bluff.

Is there much difference between the French and English speaking parts of Canada?
