Begin rant:
Well, (looking ahead to another message regarding Windsor and
coming back to this one) you obviously have not travelled much
past the Tri-Town area (no not Cambridge aka Galt/Preston/Hespler
the other one north of North Bay I'll let you figurte out which 3
they are!). The second most spoken language in that area of
Ontario is English (yes that is 2nd not 1st). The other is the
one most of us seem to like to dislike for some reason and that
is French. (shoved down our throats is often used as a way of
explaining it). Ontario for those of us in its southern parts
does not end in Muskoka. More than 3/4 of the province lies north
of there - a whole different world and culture of a much longer
standing than the more recent arrivals in the navel of Ontario.
Should the majority of the navel govern the policies of the whole?
I believe your logic is flawed and thus your conclusions!!
End rant.
