oh FF's sake the joys of living in an officially bilingual country!

Go bitch to the beattles.

It's so silly. What's even sillier is that 5 minor complaints about Harper not singing in French or singing off-key even made news. I guess we should be happy Canada is so boring that something like that would be considered newsworthy.

Shit where do I start, ...

Lets start with the Beatles, english.

If ya dont like the Beatles then fuck off already.

It was only one complaint, probably Kenmore.

[raydan]

He could have sung Michelle.

$1:

Jayne Watson, CEO of the National Arts Centre Foundation, the fundraising arm of the NAC, said she had received three complaints about Harper's performance. Watson said she received one phone call and two e-mail complaints about Harper's singing and the mixing of politics with the arts on the NAC stage.

Now deliberately singing bilingually - that would have been mixing politics and arts.

If it wasn't for government largesse the artistic communuity in Canada would still be drawing on the walls of caves. Who do you think paid for the NAC? All of us, my friends, from sea to sea to sea. Not too many from Revelstoke or Corner Brook get a chance to go there though.

This is very typical Francophone thinking, remember about a decade ago, they were bitching about how many 'French' were on the Montreal Canadiens hockey team!!

We should remember to keep this in context, it was only one person complaining.

[bootlegga]

Okay, this is utterly ridiculous...

"Mmm, je suis gelé avec un peu d'aide de mes amis."
"Mmm, je vais essayé avec un peu d'aide de mes amis."

How about Chineese and pujabi as well.

[Annihilator]

Damn, those people complaining are so full of themselves, like if because they speak french, everyobody else has to.
