What happened?
Texas ceded from the union?
Rain of frogs?
Rain of Frenchmen?
Rivers of fire, rains of blood, the Four Riders out for a canter?

I'm never sure, to me they both taste like sweetened fermented bat urine...

I'm assuming you've had to taste that in order to make the comparison.

There's just nothing I can say to that - hope it won't be too verbose

Some training companies tend to drown you with spam once you have attended one of their courses. Today, there was an email in my inbox from one of these, with the subject line:
"Courses for you who love embedded"
My immediate reaction was: That's the male experience, isn't it?
(The text really was in Swedish: Kurser för dig som älskar embedded, but it translates well.)

Ahem.
It's interesting that they used embedded verbatim. Any French outfit doing this would probably be fined, at least in Quebec.

I'm going to get my shovel and help out with the natural course of events.

Suck it up (as none do so well as the French) - you deservedly lost.
Maybe learn a real language of global importance - you know - English, Spanish, Chinese - and learn what a real language is all about.

I was born and raised as a French speaker (in Ontario), but from my perspective, when I see Quebec's French protectionism is being enforced at the expense of teaching English, then I'm completely against it.
A parent of a good friend of mine - currently in his late 50s, early 60s, "100% pure Quebecois" - told a bunch of us that he would've loved to learn English, but because he hasn't, he's felt all his life that he had been at a disadvantage. I don't blame him.
I honestly believe that Quebec's French protectionism is purely political, and the population is smart enough to understand this is working against them. Yet they can't bring themselves to vote these people out.

It's purely political all right, because it's pure pandering. Quebec voters are brain dead, no different than most other Canadian voters.

I was going to protest, but given our current government, clearly I'm in no position to present a sensible counterargument.

Aren't everybody who disagees with you brain dead? Is there any reason to distinguish between them?
