In the words of one of our deceased Prime Ministers, "My fellow Canadians....." , I think the practice of airing our personal dirty laundry shows about as much class as a Harley ad. I lived in that province, as an adult, for 5 years; You couldn't pay me enough to get me to live there again. But whatever is happening in this English/French situation, the average reader of this list couldn't give much less of a shit. Lets get back to riding and enjoying ourselves, and stop whining.
