How can it truely be Canadian without a French part? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, anglophones don't think about French, they live in English all the time because they are part of a majority. Then when francophones want French services, they can't understand -- uh, can't they get these services in English? Why should we provide services in French... Canada is bilingual only as long as everyone speaks English. I realize that we need a Canadian CM web site, and that the game is American so it's in English anyway, but as a francophone living in Nova Scotia I thought I should vent a little. Did you know, here the francophone and Acadian association discovered that the provincial government can't account for the money the Feds give them for providing french education? The province has appropriated some of the funding for themselves, who cares about these Acadians and French people anyway, right? I'm sure it goes both ways, I'm sure the Quebec government "forgot" to allocate all the funds for anglophone schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted July 22, 2000 Share Posted July 22, 2000 Whoops, looks like we forgot to expel one (That was a joke) If Canada were the size of Switzerland, bilingualism wouldn't be a problem for anyone, but since so many people live hundreds, even thousands, of miles from French speaking regions, it becomes somewhat problematic. As for Quebec language policies... f'get about it. ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Black Devil Posted July 22, 2000 Author Share Posted July 22, 2000 Well guys, I can't comment on whether or not there will ever be a distinct french portion to the site. I for one regret that my french is nowhere near good enough to undertake such a task and I can't speak for Jason. However, all is not lost. I think it would be great if any of you guys wanted to do an article highlighting French Canadian or Acadian contributions to the war, be it through a commentary on battles fought by Regiments such as the Fusiliers Mont-Royal or the North Nova Scotia Highlanders to name but a few. Alternately, scenarios enabling others to refight some of these Regiments most famous battles might be another avenue to pursue.

Formerly Babra Posted July 22, 2000 Share Posted July 22, 2000 Amen to that. I'm looking forward to scenarios featuring the Trois Rivieres, Van Doos, Chaudieres et al. They fought hard, died hard, and will forever be remembered. ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flaw in your idea is in forgetting that the English minority in Quebec is actually part of the English-speaking majority. how long do you think that the Quebec Government could continue to ignore the constitutional obligation to have English schools in Quebec as Ontario and other provinces are still doing even today?

Little Black Devil Posted July 24, 2000 Author Share Posted July 24, 2000 Regardless of what part of the country we come from or what our specific heritage, I'm sure that the ability to refight pivotal Canadian Battles, fought by a very long list of distinguished regiments has an appeal to all of us. I think part of the reason CMCHQ exists is to give us Canadians a chance to express our exploits during the war, through representative scenarios and articles. So, if you've got a good scenario or article send it on in! ------------------ COMBAT MISSION CANADIAN HQcmhq.tzo.com/canada "Hosti Acie Nominati" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
