in noting that Bourassa is using the not withstanding clause and planning to
continue to enforce the french only sign law for outside, with a predominance
of french inside, it leads me to wonder - is the french culture so fragile
that signs must be forced to be french. Bourassa says on Canada AM this morning
that this would allow an immigrant to quebec to realize that its a french
culture that resides in this province. but i can't understand how forcing a 
restaurant or a stereo shop to have a french only sign is promoting that 
culture or even furthering the french cause throughout canada. if anything,
this is gonna turn people off of french more than ever.

just getting ready for the poly-sci exam i got this afternoon  :-)
