merci LiNeY pour ce thread 
Moi je reste à Granby, environs 80km (50mi) à l'ouest de Montréal, donc dans le sud de la province.
En passant Blowgoats, quelque chose me dit que t'as pas réussi à passer ton cours de Français 101 au cégep 
PS.: Si ça peut vous aider, il y a un zoo à Granby, et j'y ai déjà travaillé

Moi je reste en Allemagne, mais j'étais au Québec l'année dernière comme étudiante d'échange. Je restais à St-Cléophas-de-Brandon (près de Joliette) - eh oui, blanalex, c'est un trou perdu dans la forêt. En tout cas, c'est bien joli là.
Tu habites à Westmount? Alors, t'es un anglophone riche!

Anyway, I never said I was good at French - is it possible to live in Quebec your entire life and not be good at French? Oh well.
Blanalex, Westmount r0x0rz. It's 5 minutes away from downtown, it's beatuiful, and it's safe. I love it here - even though all the people here are fuckin' materialistic, capitalistic, snobs - but we can't all be perfect

Never said anything against Westmount in this thread :-P
Even Granby is a little snobby, because it's an ancient Loyalist town. Not as much Sutton, but more than, say... Jonquière!

Bill 101
The passing of < Bill 22 > by the Bourassa government in 1974 became an important issue during the Quebec elections of November 1976. The bill had come under attack from the anglophone community and from those, in the francophone community, who thought that the bill did not go far enough. Once in power, the new government of the Parti Québécois led by René Levesque first issued a white paper on language and then introduced Bill 1 and later a revised version of it, Bill 101, titled 'Charte de la Langue Française.' The bill, as it was passed in the summer of 1977, proclaimed French as the official language in Quebec for just about every facet of life in the province: government, judicial system, education, advertising, business, contracts, etc. For example, the bill required that all advertising on billboards be done in French only and that all commercial signs in business establishments be in French alone. All public administrations and businesses had to address their employees in French. All government agencies were directed to use the Official language in their dealings with corporations and other governments in Canada. Government Ministries and Agencies, as well as professional associations in Quebec, were to be known by their French name. The laws of the province were to be enacted in French although an English translation might also be made (and indeed continued to be made after bill 101). English education was to be restricted mostly to those already in the system, their siblings, those temporarily posted in Quebec or whose parents had themselves received an English elementary education in the province. While the bill was very prescriptive in several respects, it showed considerable flexibility in connection to businesses, especially head offices of international and national corporations centred in Quebec. While francization programmes were instituted for businesses, they were limited to businesses of more than 50 employees.
The debates around bill 101 have never abetted and seem endless. The law has received very bad press outside of Quebec and anglophone Quebecers have never accepted it. They believe the bill was designed essentially to eradicate English from the face of the province, that many of its provisions are unduly harsh, unfair, and in violation of basic human rights. They reject the view that French is a threatened language and that it requires strong legislative protection. They demand that their language be considered equal and be allowed full visibility. Their perception of the bill is sharpened by sometimes plainly petty application of it by overzealous bureaucrats, called “the language police”.
By contrast, the bill has received widespread support from the francophone community. It views the bill as an essential protection against the increasingly pervasive spread of the dominance of the English language in North America, indeed the world. Many remember the days when French was insignificant as a language of achievement and promotion in the province, when discrimination was rampant, and when businesses did not provide fair and adequate services in the French language. What many anglophones view as an instrument of oppression is seen by many francophones as the thunderous expression of their right to live in French in one corner of North America. Indeed, it is of significance that the name of the law is Charte de la Langue Française; it conveys for many the same dedicated support one would offer to a Charter of Rights. Thus, both communities have a deep sense that they are right and that the other side is wrong. Both react as endangered minorities fighting for their very existence and appealing to the other side for understanding. Few are able to discuss the subject without becoming emotional.
A number of changes have been effected to the bill. Some were made because provisions of the law have been found to have violated articles of the Constitution or, after 1982, the new Canadian Charter of Rights. Other changes were made willingly by the majority in an attempt to resolve issues as they arose and to show good faith. The most significant of the changes have dealt with the language of legislation (now issued in both English and French), access to English schools (enlarged to guarantee access to English school to all those that have received their education in English in Canada), and with the language of signs (where English is now acceptable provided that French be given priority). Some of these changes were incorporated in a bill issued in 1993 by the Liberal government of Robert Bourassa (Bill 86). Another bill (42) guaranteed to anglophones health and social services in their language. Some of that should have gone a long way to lessen tension on the linguistic front. However, guarantees of social services in a language at a time when governments are cutting so many social services altogether are perhaps not guarantees at all. So the battle rages on...

DÉSOLÉ POUR LE TEXTE GRAS EN MAJUSCULE, MAIS CET ENVOI DOIT SE CONFORMER À LA LOI 101.
--------
All I can say in response to Vulu, without starting a holy war in this forum, is that everything he said was exact. All I could add as a comment would only continue a conflict that's been going on since England bought the New France.
Sorry for the capitalized bold text, but this post must conform to the Bill 101.
