I am an English speaking Canadian and I am proud of it. French Canada you continue to disappoint me. Another black mark on the francaphones. Wonder why English Canada hates French speaking Canadians. This is why. Coward come forward and tell us how your life was made so difficult because this man could not speak to you in French. COWARD

If you are such a good person then why aren't you coming forward to say who you are,,,because you know its wrong.

It is time for the pendulum to swing towards fairness and justice for all. Preserving French by negating the rights of the English speaking population has gone too far for too long. The discriminatory language laws need to be reigned in immediately. We have had enough of this injustice.

It is no wonder the senior civil service is drmatically more incompetant than the actual workers as most have acheived their position due to language abilities and not job/specific/management abilities. It is time for good sense to prevail !

Bilingualism costs too much money, let alone a Senior Citizen's job. Let Quebec separate so us Anglo's who are competent can find work in our own cities and province, not give the jobs to people just because they speak French. Enough is enough and people are getting angry.

Use common sense and show a little kindness. Give Mr Brown his job back he brightens the day for many and they for him!

Its gotten completely out of control where we now have in many cases, unqualified francophones filling positions where highly competent Anglophones cannot even apply... severe brain drain from the public sector which ultimately costs everyone.
