Foul Mood I Am; Expletives Abound For Jerks

"Our Quebec language police, officially known as the Office québécois de la langue française, often seems to go after businesses that are associated with anglophones and allophones. But, does it ignore francophone businesses? It would probably say “No.”

Last week, we decided to eat at a well-known francophone and popular Rôtisserie St-Hubert restaurant franchise, commonly known as St-Hubert Bar-B-Q. We chose its Express outlet on Autoroute 13 in Laval, Laval being a francophone bastion. Arriving at the counter, the special was plainly advertised, a sign stating “Sandwich Hot chicken,” an item that is also so listed on St-Hubert’s website menu.

Is it even remotely possible that no OQLF inspector has ever eaten at St-Hubert, or has never ordered delivery service from its menu? Is it possible that those thousands of complainers to the OQLF, about English public wording in Quebec, have never realized that “hot” and “chicken” are definitely English words being currently utilized by Quebec’s best known restaurant chain?

Are the OQLF and those who complain to them prejudiced? It surely seems so."

You can, literally, find hundreds of example like this which only makes the point all the more poignant. St-Hubert, for the record, does an excellent job of offering services in English. Trust me, in this crappy environment under the PQ buffoons this is much appreciated.

It is prejudiced behavior. Until apologists come to this realization, we're stuck with it. The best we can do is post them on websites. Expose it.

What angers me most is the moniker 'angryphones.' Those who think this can suck my dick.

They seem to be under the impression that we should just "take it." Fuck them and fuck the OLF.

The word 'Bravo' for the record, is Italian - assholes.

I'm so sick of this language crap.

Here's an excerpt from another letter to the editor:

"...I just came back from Florida and came across many French Canadians...a lot of them cannot speak English and they expect to be spoken in French, forgetting they are in the United States. On many occasions, I could have helped them, since I was standing right behind them at the counter but I decided not to do it...let them learn English."

French is a useless language in the USA. Spanish is the dominant second language so to think they can be served in French stinks of pure parochial ignorance.

This is an interesting letter. It's one of those things that happen but never spoken about. It goes to show how pissed off we are for this to come out in the open. Thank you Marois!

It's sad but true. We've all been at similar counter experiences like this writer, I too rarely, if ever, intervene.

When we're abroad we just don't ally with those we identify as 'ugly Quebecers' choosing instead to blend into the American culture. Again, sad, but true.

The legacy of the PQ I reckon.

Vacationing in Maine a couple of years back my sister was snubbed by fellow campers from Quebec who thought she was "English" and thus were not worthy of acknowledgment. When she found out my sister spoke French, she suddenly warmed up. My sister then switched to English and respectfully put her in her place asking in three languages.

It was quite a story.

Why do they vacation in the States if they're going to act like complete morons?

Look, to be fair, of course I'm picking on the exceptions but it's an attitude reinforced when the PQ come into power. Behind their backs, we laugh. I can't tell you how many times we've had to apologize to an American on their soil for the rude behavior of a fellow Quebecer. They have no clue about out situation here and when explained they care even less. Rude is rude. I don't blame them.

My buddy has lived in Florida for over 20 years and still sees idiot Quebecers at the cash. They're simply not liked according to him.

Quebecers to their credit, the ones who don't vote PQ, are not all that enamored with the PQ, Bill 14 and the behavior of the OLF. Quebecers are a wired people, intelligent enough to grasp it's reached an apex with all this 'defend the culture' stuff.

And yes, the legend of the 'Ugly American' (and recently 'ugly Canadian) is well-documented, but we seem to want to challenge this notion.

The PQ are whoring themselves to try and salvage anything of Bill 14 which means a piece of shit legislation will be mutilated and corroded enough to become legislation with pimples oozing with puss.

A tipping point takes place. I think we hit it.

Since I'm on a post laced with profanity, it's about time someone says it: Fuck you Amir Khadir. Fuck you and your piece of shit left-wing views.

Disrespectfully, T.C.

This is what left-wing socialists do. They praise immoral thugs and murderers like Paul Rose.

Probably jerked off to the 60th anniversary of Stalin's death. Surprised he didn't ask for a moment of silence in the National Assembly.

/hand job motion.

Yeah. I'm in a foul mood.

It's hard not to be.

Consider this forum on post-secondary education in America. It's thoughtful and full of ideas to fix what ails their institutions. Most of which are among the best on the planet.

Here?

We talk about "free" education.

And what of Obama? After reading the articles, one should be struck by how sadly unimaginative and typical Obama really is. In addition to his sophomoric recommendation to raise the minimum wage, he merely wants to add more students to a water-downed education system where costs are skyrocketing for multiple reasons.

America needs REAL ideas. Not piss-fuck platitudes that will do shit to help their educational institutions. Meanwhilesssss, charter schools seem to be doing well and the government hates them.

No shit they do.

Anyway, I was reading about Hillsdale College in the USA. The way they run their show reminds me of where I stand on daycare.

Lo and behold Hillsdale is a conservative school that gets no subsidies.

Really, should anyone be surprised?

The issue becomes, how much of an impact will Obamacare have on wealth creation and GDP growth?
