Canada's multiple official languages just allow Quebec to discriminate against Anglophones while forcing the people of Ontario and Western Canada to learn a language they will never need to use. Official languages have all the same problems as official religions, and should be eliminated entirely. We need a separation of language and state the same way we need a separation of church and state.

How much do you know about Canadian history? It's really absurd for you to think that after hundreds of years, the Quebecois will be "assimilated." Do you also think the Ukrainians will be assimilated by Russia?
I don't know whether to laugh at this comment, that *you're* asking how much *I* know about Canadian history when you're the one who clearly needs to read up on Bill 101 and the 1995 secession referendum, or say yikes that you're actually comparing Quebecers to Ukrainians, which is a completely absurd comparison. Last I checked, Ukraine isn't less than 25% of a country where everyone else speaks a different language, and even if they were, they certainly aren't trying to force the minority in their province who speak that other language to only ever speak their language. Because let's face it - the ultimate goal of the PQ and Bloc in Quebec, beyond even seceding from Canada, is to completely outlaw the use of the English language in Quebec.
I'm also aware that the secession referenda lost. There is a very wide spectrum between outlawing the use of English in Quebec and requiring all French-speakers in Canada to "assimilate"! But you think it's worth a civil war!
I think, just as Abraham Lincoln did, that secession of a region of your country (especially when the secessionists want to secede in order to discriminate against a certain segment of society) is something that must be stopped at all costs.

Slavery was sufficiently evil to have a war. Not knowing French? Oy, Gotenyu! Are you proudly monolingual yourself?
And I also noticed that you didn't actually respond to anything I said in my previous comment. Hmmmm...
