I guess it doesn't matter too much, because with an attitude like that I'm sure the French-speaking population of Quebec would probably feel better if you can help having anything to do with them for a long long time anyway! And, by the way, I hope that you don't feel too bad if I try to do my best not to go to oblivion! (especially economic oblivion, that wouldn't be too nice to young Olivier) (As far as culture is concerned, I should invite some of you to a traditional French-canadian party with songs/dance at my father's one of these days... Quite a fun culture I'd say ;-) (And as far as living in Montreal is concerned, come on down and check out Kirkland: a really nice young community with a good mix of French, English, and others. I've been here 3 years, and so far I enjoy it a lot.) -- Denis Fortin, | fortin@zap.uucp CAE Electronics Ltd | uunet!philmtl!zap!fortin The opinions expressed above are my own. | fortin%zap@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
