As a sixth-generation German whose ancestors came to Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia in 1749 I am confused by all the foofaraw over La Langue Française in Québec.
If it has survived the Québécois for four hundred years is there an apprehension that it is in more trouble today than it has been lo these years? Does it need protection?
Why should it be protected? What is so all-fired important about preserving a bastardized form of French.
Is it really worth making people criminals because they put up what is deemed an improper sign? Has anybody actually fought that sign law all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada?
