I just wish I was better at it. You can take Spanish if you prefer. Learning a second language is a good thing. All the kitchen terms are in French. The French wrote the book on the culinary arts, twice. First they wrote it with Escoffier's Cuisine Classique then they rewrote it with Nouvelle Cuisine. Life would be diminished without the French culinary arts.<br /><br />Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-53309425410219856772012-09-08T16:55:51.985-07:002012-09-08T16:55:51.985-07:00No one in B.C. or any other province west of Manit...No one in B.C. or any other province west of Manitoba needed to be forced to take French in school to make the Quebecois happy or have everything in the grocery store English on one side French on the other just to placate all the French Separatists in Quebec.<br /><br />"Preservation of the French Language", more politically correct BS. What the rest of Canada should have done was called their bluff and allowed them to leave Confederation. The rest of Canada, certainly Western Canada would have been better off and healthier for it, the weight of parliamentary representation between Quebec and Ontario that holds the western provinces in bondage would not exist. <br /><br />PET was a POS who loathed Canada's Anglo heritage. A Marxist lawyer who's rock star groupie wife fucked around on him openly. What a joke. Certainly no one to look up to.<br /><br />Wolfe and Montcalm at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Wolfe won the battle and lost the war, 2 centuries later you have the descendents of all the Frenchmen that Wolfe didn't force to return to France giving the descendents of the victors a hard time. Listen, no one gets along with the French. The English and the French in Europe don't get along, why would it be different in Canada. Jeez, half of the Belgians speak French and THEY don't get along with the French.....<br /><br />The Swiss have a national identity that surpasses language. The same cannot be said of Canada. No one says "I am a German Swiss" or "I am an Italian Swiss". <br />trailrunner78https://www.blogger.com/profile/06694102447472594355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-24341782038790668622012-09-08T09:17:02.721-07:002012-09-08T09:17:02.721-07:00Paul Porter got two years?

I'm here in Ottawa, and it's sicking to see, that in reality, the Quebecois are running this country. I consider this part of the fallout from above. I never have and never will vote Liberal.<br /><br />Good to see the BC RCMP are on those bikers' asses. I lived in BC in the 90's, and it appeared to me then that the cops didn't bother them much. I had assumed it was because the BC Hells Angels chapters are the richest in the world. <br /><br />Cool blog you have going.

Mulroney as you say was a complete scoundrel and Stephen Harper is rapidly filing those shoes. I liked Preston Manning. Harper is doing a lot of really bizarre things that really concern me. What he does is the exact opposite of what the conservative party stand for. The robocalls, the surveillance, the firing of whistleblowers. His is a bizarre new world I rather not be a part of.<br /><br />Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-33779262013902315982012-09-04T15:52:58.411-07:002012-09-04T15:52:58.411-07:00Abe Lincoln was a good guy.

He's brought in a new era of robocalls, firing whistleblowers, stalking people's facebook accounts, warrantless <br />Internet surveillance, torture, removing BC's say on a pipeline through their province. Now he's even banning free speech. What a very sad legacy.<br /><br />Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-88486375393812425862012-09-04T15:11:41.114-07:002012-09-04T15:11:41.114-07:00Whats all this stuff against Harpo, He is Canada&#...Whats all this stuff against Harpo, He is Canada's equivalent to Abe Lincoln. freeing us from our jobs and money, maybe he will piss off an actor?<br />Jake Dutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421966627729279392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-18836737163169535482012-09-03T22:37:56.335-07:002012-09-03T22:37:56.335-07:00I like the way the RCMP tries to duck it by blamin...I like the way the RCMP tries to duck it by blaming Nav Canada.<br /><br />In other words, lying again.....trailrunner78https://www.blogger.com/profile/06694102447472594355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-47109156952500245722012-09-03T21:18:42.463-07:002012-09-03T21:18:42.463-07:00Ya, gag.
