#2 Canadians have as much chance of getting rid of their Quebecois moochers as the English have of ridding themselves of the Scots. They'll both bitch but never leave the teat.

#3 Having not traveled extensively in Canada, I was surprised at the enmity I found in non-French speaking Canadians toward their French speaking brothers. It runs rather deep.

#4 It's been 40-some years, but I remember being in Montreal and asking a store clerk something in English and getting a blank stare - until I said I was American, at which point my question was cheerfully answered, in English. French-speakers had to be binlingual to 'function' but English-speakers did not, which generated animosity.
