Jayc72,I said chinese is the "unofficial language",not official.

I thought the official language of Alberta was "native".

BTW I like living in Hong-couver.

Cueball,nobody(except Quebec) in Canada speaks french as a 1st language.

and if they did,people will look at them funny.

Spike, I unner stand. I've been all over Western Canada. It just seems the Que-Becker's (RE Frenchies) are the ones running the National gov't. They've got the original European population. They're the old part of Canada. Much like the NE USA has more history, denser population, more heavy industry compared to the west coast, the Q-beck area of Canada has more power in gov't than their population should justify. It seems that East coast Canadian's still view the Western provinces as outposts. The Easterner's may not respect the West's view's but they sure appreciate the tax dollars you send them.

The ******* thing that pisses me off about Quebec,is that the whole country evolves around & caters to only making that province happy,the rest of the country comes second.

As far as I'm concerned(and the rest of Canada),Quebec can get the **** outta Canada and become their own country.Canada WILL be a better place with out them.

gwilo

Let's just say Quebec knows how to work the system

Can not blame them for that. Blame Ottawa

Spike,

That's what I was trying to get across. The Frenchie Q-beckers are the problem in Canada. You guys on the west coast are great. Partying on Robson St. The drugs and hookers in the Gaslight district. Chinatown. You guys have it going on.

The Frenchies are only 10% of the population but they are 90% of the annoying and whiny people. That's why everyone else caters to them. If they don't get their egomoniacle (is that a word?) way, the rest of the country will never get any rest.

Bryant probably drives a Prius. If he's got a Porsche or Ferrari hiding in the garage it should be dragged into the street and crushed. Better yet an old Bugatti or Aston. There are few things worse than a reactionary politician with the power to enact his poorly thought out ideas.

I see you have been to Vancouver & enjoyed what we have to offer.Here's some info about Vancouver incase you don't already know.

Women now have equal rights to walk around topless just like the guys do & our nude beach is catering to alot of younger hot women now.


You have it all wrong,the frenchies are 10% of the population and 90% of the problem.

To quote myself...

To quote you...

We AGREE! Seems you are missunderstanding me. I'm sorry I'm not better at communicating my position.

If womens rights leads to more hotties topless at the beach, I'm ready to join the ERA and march on Washington for equal rights! Problem is our politicians are too puritanical to allow it. How the united states can be the most perverted and the most uptight country in the world at the same time I don't understand.

They do it in Cal already when you are caught racing. Canada is doing it the same way we got ourselves messed up with Iran. It is preemptive. You might do it so we are going to crush you. I think Tom Cruise starred in a movie about convicting people before their crimes.

Simple explanation...

California. Street race and we crush your car.

Canada. Your car LOOKS like it MIGHT be street racer, we crush your car.

Cueball you need to come down to Vancouver this summer,head down to Kitsilano beach and see all those hot *** topless women sun bathing to know what I'm talking about.

I think the only thing left is to legalize marijuana.

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

Oh beautiful, for pilgrims' feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!

Oh beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!

Oh beautiful, for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

Nice buzz kill Hustler.

Is Kitsilano beach out near hotel row? I'm thinking of a beach around Stanley park from the Westin. Used to come up for Canuck games pretty regularly. Haven't had the hockey bug as bad lately. I'll have to talk the wife into seeing the city in the summer. Better sight seeing it sounds like. wink wink, nudge nudge.

If your staying at the Westin hotel,you need to cross the Burrard street bridge,make a right as soon as you cross the bridge and Kitsilano beach(AKA baywatch) will be right there,you can't miss it.

If this was implemented like Bryant wants, Canada would no longer be a free country....and I would be the first to appeal this and make a life long career of court hearings for myself. I can't see this being right- you own the vehicle- if it meets DOT and is driven in a legal manner on public roads, the law can't dictate whether the car "looks" like it's a street racer and destroy your property based on assumptions. Maybe Canada should make it easier for private owners to open up race tracks, so the kids can get it out of their system. Tracks are far and few between here.

Firstly: Spike, there are huge french communities in Alberta. To the point where I'd estimate 20% of Albertians speak french as their native language.
Secondly: They are NOT crushing cars because they look like race cars. A vehicle must be caught at over 50km/h over the limit to be considered for crushing. Thats a little excessive no?
Thirdly: Yes Bryant is a douche-canoe.
Fourthly: The top-less thing is all over Canada, not just Hong-couver. and the wacky-tabaccy is decriminalized, a big step is legalization.
Fifthly: The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Like someone here said before me, don't blame Queerbec, blame Ottawawawawawa.

spike

20% of Albertians peak french? maybe in northern alberta.

I think Bryant is alot worse than a douche-canoe.

I already know the top-less thing is all over Canada,but in Hong-couver we have the hottest girls that live here,don't believe me? ask Mr. Playboy himself,Hugh Heffner.

The squeaky wheel always gets heard,but the wineing,crying babies gets the most attention from the parents.

The B.C government will never legalize marijuana,if they do,everyone and their dog will be growing it & smoking it in public.Also the Americans will be right pissed that we legalized it.
