Hmmm... Sounds a lot like what we call "Angry Anglos" who, a few years ago,
would use any excuse to wipe their feet (litteraly and preferably on camera) on
the Province of Québec flag just because they felt Conferedation was a big
mistake made in 1867 and that those damned "frenchmen" should all be speaking
english and saluting Her Majesty the Queen by now. These days, they are more
civilized; they content themselves with shouting high and clear that
french-canadians are racists... Intolerance is everywhere, isn't it...?
