20% French

Hi,
I took last week off again... I feel like my boss, taking days off whenever I want!

Anyway, I read in the paper the other day that "20% of jobs in the Ottawa Area are now officially bilingual." At first I thought, "Wow, that's a significant drop!" When I was looking for a job, it seemed more like 90% required bilingualism!

But really though, this is dumb. Less jobs for people actually from Ontario! Because all the Quebecors who's native language is French get these jobs, even though their second language, English, is sometimes next to impossible to understand. Besides, if all (or most) Quebecors learn English at a young age, they should have to use it when they come to Ontario.

We live in a country that has two official languages: ONE province is French. My solution: Keep the language in that ONE province, and the other 12 provinces and territories can keep English in theirs! Like, the rest of the country (mostly this city) is letting the frenchmen walk all over us!
