On advice of a friend I looked at the last few posts of Sea's. Where to start.
My French Canadian friends have good manners. They do not discuss OUR business around us. I recall a time when 8 of us were sitting at a table at a dinner-dance. Six French Canadians and my wife and I. One tried to start a political discussion and four of the French Canadians jumped all over his ass. They said to him what I have been saying. They would not allow him to enter into our politics. I actually felt sorry for the guy.
This is funny, too. When we are together the French Canadians speak English because they know I do not speak French. My wife is a retired French teacher. They will speak to her in French because she likes to practice her French speaking. What they say regarding the U.S. or me in private or together is of no concern to me. They treat us as part of their group and we treat them as part of our group. They are good friends that we enjoy immensely. Sea, Brewster, Jack, and Telco are the rudest, nosiest, and ignorant Canadians I have ever met. They are an embarrassment to other Canadians. I showed a couple of my Canadian friends some of the posts made by them and they are ashamed of those English speaking Canadians. What Sea doesn't realize is that I would welcome him into my home but only on the condition that he minds his own business. I couldn't trust him to do that, though.

Yes, Sea. There are several points here but I am not surprised you can't see them. |

Hmmmm, Jack. When it comes to our business you never seem to be at a loss for words.

Br careful Jack. Apparently, French Canadians are an American issue! |
