I have never heard of that law before.

And Taw, you're name is getting very weird and your view of Canada is a very Hollywood one.

Ever seen the movie "Canadian Bacon" Where John Candy is driving in Canada down the road with a giant truck that says "Canada Sucks!" He then get's pulled over by a cop and think he's screwed. Instead the cop tells him about the law that all advertising and signs must be in both English and French. Then John Candy is forced to write "Canada Sucks!" In french.

Then in another part of the movie as John Candy's *evil* plan, he decides to cross the great lakes and litter. They get caught again and again think they're screwed, but instead the Mounties ask them politely to stop littering and to "Go back where you came from." Then one of the Mounty tells the other that he can't end a sentence on a proposition and says he should have said "Go back from where you came." Then John Candy and Co. slip away.

Hilarious flick!!! should definitely check it out.

"canadian Bacon" is ace, much better than "Wag the Dog" I particularly liked the line "let's drop bombs onto...Toronto"

actually RILMS I have never been to Canadia so therefore have no real opinion on it's sparsely populated hinterland and indigenous population of moose. It's a big red bit up in the top left hand part of the world map of the British Empire (now Commonwealth)

for the trade kimk, duh

Post Tue May 11, 2004 9:32 am

fur trade and other colonial staples. British Imperial policy followed in the train of commercial exploitation by British companies, such as the Hudson Bay Company. Direct parallel in India was the East India Company, which could call on British military forces to defend and extend it's commercial sphere of influence. You also have to take Britain's long standing rivalry with France into account, wherever the French went we'd go to kick them out, and vice versa (except we were better at it)

everybody's doing the Len Ganley stance..

The French are nothing more than cheese-eating surrender monkeys with mutant armpit hair that don't take showers.

...cheese-eating surrender monkeys...
Hmm, doesn't GK Willy say that in one Simpsons episode?

@ Taw,

I didn't think you have ever been here. Feel free to come, we'll make pie

@ Mee,

Do you know why the flag of surrender is the white flag? Well, back in the day, when a non-french town saw the French Army approch, they would lower their flag and raise a white one. The French flag at the time was gold flure-des-lis on a white background. The French won so many times that way, the white flag became the flag of surrender.

And their is nothing wrong with the French.
