Of course last Friday a Judge in Ontario ruled that in the township of Russel/Embrum that commercial signs must be bilingual and cannot be posted in either french or english unilingually. I find this to be a breach of free expression and as such a breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights. Point, would a person advertising a Vietnames restaurant have to post in three languages? The lunatics are obviously running the asylum these days. <br /><br />Back to Hockey so as not to digress....maybe the language police and government of Quebec should institute french competency tests for all players of the Canadians Hockey Team. The penalty for not passing the test, automatic game misconduct with no pay. This would ensure that the best interests of the Quebecois would be respected with regards to culture and language. Of course it wouldn't matter if the team came in dead last as long as they were compliant. Afterwhich, the Molson's could apply for a heritage grant from the ROC to cover any shortfall :):)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-73231901912954270732010-08-23T22:00:07.957-04:002010-08-23T22:00:07.957-04:00"...but merely a PROVINCE..."...dont les..."...but merely a PROVINCE..."...dont les habitants sont reconnus comme étant une nation doublée d'une société distincte au sein du canada"<br /><br />Separatist contradiction #2435432<br /><br />"We want to become "independent" of Canada because we feel enslaved in the federation we don't belong in...but...the same confederation gives us the right to proceed against the Canadian Constitution because we are a nation recognized by this Canada and given a free hand when it comes to provincial matters...So...We are a nation, a semi-autonomous unit (so don’t come talking to us about Canadian standards, we can reject them if we want and we are free to impose our rules and values)... but... we want to separate because Canada is imposing its standards and values on us...”adskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196014962059056067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-35911351587574060302010-08-23T20:42:02.613-04:002010-08-23T20:42:02.613-04:00Mississauga Guy said...

Eric's parents were the biggest buttinskys, and what they wanted was for Eric to go to a team where he would stand to make $$$$$ in endorsements. Very often superstar athletes make more in endorsements than they do playing their sport. Some far more in endorsements, but that's usually football, basketball and baseball players. Hockey less so, but the Lindroses had dreams, I suppose.<br /><br />It's more the Francophone players looking to escape Montreal and the pressure cooker created by the media. Daniel Brière, when he became a UFA after his Buffalo Sabre days, was given a very good offer by the Habs, but he chose the Flyers. Care to guess why? In addition to the media circus, there are tax considerations (Rod Langway wanted out of Montreal decades ago and he SPECIFICALLY said taxes were a consideration).<br /><br />So let's add up the score: Quebec is the highest taxed jurisdiction of all the pro sport cities, your performances on the ice or field are constantly under scrutiny, your personal life, and your knowledge of French, or worse yet, your lack of knowledge of French. Other cities: Less taxes (esp. in the States, and even Alberta), your personal life is that: Personal, and language is a non-issue.<br /><br />The more players catch whiff of the language nonsense and media circus, the harder they will be attracted. The Habs haven't been able to get an impact player out of free agency now for YEARS! Alex Tanguay didn't last a season, and I don't hear any other Francophones who are particularly feeling jilted that they're not going to the Habs. Lecavalier isn't pushing hard for it, St-Louis isn't, Simon Gagner could have come, didn't, and I doubt the Habs will ever again attract any impact players, especially when they're too busy paying a nobody like Scott Gomez $8 million for five years to score a dozen goals a year. THAT is what they should entice Lecavalier or St-Louis with, not Gomez! Scott Gomez, another American, and the most overpaid player in the League!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-7623878621760071332010-08-23T19:24:54.099-04:002010-08-23T19:24:54.099-04:00À Anonyme August 23, 2010 6:55 PM ''I'...À Anonyme August 23, 2010 6:55 PM ''I'm sure that you are a regular on the various Quebec nationalist websites.''

Did Malkin speak good english when he joined the Penguins (still pretty rough). This goes for a plethora of other players including former Captains of the the Montreal Canadians who didn't speak french. Who cares as long as they can score goals, get shut outs or play good defensive hockey. <br /><br />I doubt the Montreal Canadian organization will pay much attention to the sports writers who are essentially commentating on the language issues and not about the sport itself, which at the end of the day, is what really matters.<br /><br />Quebec Nordiques, tried and it eventually failed. So did Winnipeg..why ...not enough fan base or corporate sponsors I would conjencture.<br /><br />Then, one must look at the current hockey draft.<br /><br />Would the Nordiques only draft Quebec players...kind of difficult with the way the system works and the lower placed team achieving better draft choices.. Would a Quebec player wish to stay in Quebec if drafted by the Avalanche where taxes, for one, would be far lower. (not an expert but I understand this is an issue for professional sports players). Or consider an anglo Canadian where if drafted would have to be put in language training classes as part of the process (when others would be willing to draft a good player without restrictions). Might be a lot more thinking as Eric Lindros did.<br />In reality, in sports, people should concentrate on the best players attainable and good coaches and management. In this instance, language should not be an issue and placing it above competence will result in failure.<br /><br />The Habs have fans across Canada and the US. Too bad the zealots of language in Quebec want to alienate a team from people over issues that only matter to themsleves: due to their self inflicted paranoia.<br /><br />When I was growing in in the West the team was referred to as the Habs as now or in many instances the pea soupers. I don't know of anything in this country that identifies the french canadians more than pea soup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
