Liked your reply! You make some very valid comments. I was born
and raised in northern Quebec during the "quiet revolution" of
the 60's so am quite familiar with being the odd language out so
to (not) speak. I too am tri lingual - French being one -
although not much spoken in many many years (+30).
I still disagrre with Chinese etc. - They may be dominant in the
Toronto area however our language policies are set by Ottawa not
Queens Park and Toronto our country does not make even if it
likes to think it does. When taken in the context of the whole
country Chinese labels are not justified whereas a case for
French could be made since there are more and larger pockets
through out the country including Ontario, New Brunswick and
Manitoba.
I'm with you on the forgeign labels - the EC must have a fun time
deciding what goes on!!
Enjoy your stay in Great Britannia - I wish I could do something
similar, perhaps in 5 or 10 years or after I retire.
Martin
