Where the fuck are you getting your info? ALL of CANADA IS BILINGUAL. Learn aboust something before you talk. Pierre Trudeau instituted bilingualism sucessfully.na010894 wrote:Is New Brunswick the only Official Bilingual Province?
A while back, some political guy wanted to make ALL CANADIAN PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES bilingual. He failed to do that. Of course, the federal government is bilingual but most provinces are not.

Relax, Kazer0! You don't need to use foul language when you disagree with me.
Yes, the FEDERAL government is bilingual. But that does not automatically make the PROVINCES bilingual. Or the CITIES AND TOWNS bilingual.
Well, then, why did someone lobby to make the provinces bilingual if they already are. This happened in the early 2000s. Some dude argued that all the provinces should be bilingual. If they already were, why would he bother making an issue of it? He would already be satisfied.
On New Brunswick license plates, it says New Brunswick AND Nouveau-Brunswick. But in Newfoundland, plates only say Newfoundland and Labrador. Why can't they say Terre-Neuve et Labrador?
Look at the http://www.gov.nl.ca and see if you can view it in French (I saw only small pieces of it in French. If Newfoundland was bilingual, the entire site would have to be available in French).
Look at this one too http://www.portugalcove-stphilips.com (my hometown).
And our Stop signs. They only say Stop. And other traffic signs. They are English only.
I hate lying and I try to avoid it at all costs.

pwned is a 1337 term, used instead of owned, or got you, or raped you, or something like that. look it up in the Urban Dictionary.na010894 wrote:What does pwned mean?

Despite what you may think, Pierre Trudeau instituted National Bilinguialism. EVERYWHERE in Canada is bilingual, weither you like it or not.na010894 wrote:Relax, Kazer0! You don't need to use foul language when you disagree with me.

Well, then, the Newfoundland Government better get their act straight, if you are right. Put Stop/Arret on all the stop signs. Make all of their web site in English and French. Put Terre-Neuve et Labrador on the license plates. And maybe hundreds of things.
Thorburn Road. Where is Chemin Thorburn?
Water Street. Where is Rue d'Eau?
Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. Where is gouvernment du Terre-Neuve et Labrador?
Please explain how the Newfoundland government is bilingual and at the same time dodged all these things. If they were, wouldn't they be forced to translate their web site? And put Stop/Arret on the stop signs?
