Revolution would have been without the French setting up bloackades whenever they felt like it.
I enjoy the arrogance of the French.
The last time I was in France, I was staying at a little hotel in Hossegor and after having a morning surf, I wanted une chocolat chaude. I studied French for 4 years, so I can speak a decent amount. Anyway, after receiving said drink, I - being a polite, young man - replied "Merci Beaucoup". Then, for the next 20 minutes I was instructed how my accent was a little off and that I really needed to accentuate the 'coup' part of 'beaucoup'. Excellent.
Another story I heard from an American friend was how he went to a tabac to get some marlboros, then asked in his thick Kansas-accent "Je voudrais...". The guy behind the counter just stared at him for a while, then walked to the front door and instructed him to get out! It's just too perfect!
Long live the French! Down with the fat americans!
well the separation support in Quebec is going down and there is only 5-10% chance it will happen. They want to separate because they think they are not getting treated equally by the central or federal government. Not true, they have special privileges and heck they didn't even sign the Canadian Constitution back in the 80d'!!! THis is the biggest threat to Cananda today imo.
