   I’m not particularly picky about food either, as long as it doesn’t taste too hot, too sour, too sweet, or too bitter, or like plastic, I’ll eat it :D

   Yeah, but sometimes a cook feels like being unique, I guess.

   My dad’s stomace is a bottomless pit. He can eat anything all day long and not gain weight. And he’s not fat at 200 pounds.

   John should’ve said: “Darling!! You spoke French!” & then kissed Elly like Gomez on “The Addams Family”!

   Well, French and English are the national languages of Canada. Most Canadians speak it … Canadian French, anyway.

   I’ve only lived in Canada for 8 months but not all Canadians speak French, most that I have met don’t. I guess they do in Montreal but I don’t think most of Canada speaks French. Someone who has lived here all their lives could probably answer give you a better answer than I can though.

   New Brunswick is actually the most bilingual province up here, not Quebec (go figure). Us Ontarions though figure there’s not a lot of point learning French unless we want to work in the Quebec tourism industry… the separatists scared all the other industry into Ottawa and Toronto.

   Here in Ontario I’d actually say the second most likely spoken language after English is actually Chinese. Feels like it, anyway. Unless you’re counting the number of people with half-forgotten high school French.

   All Canadians who go through the public school system learn rudimentary French, but most forget it. I went through a French Immersion school program here in Ontario (so I’m bilingual) and it has helped me immensely in finding jobs. Any type of government job requires you to speak both official languages.

   And as for the second most likely language spoken in Ontario, it depends on where you live. Northern Ontario, I would say it’s still French. My hometown has a huge Indian population, so there it would be Hindi or Punjabi. The city I live in now is mostly Jewish (Hebrew language) and Russian.

   I’m from Montreal and though Québec has French for its official language, you can get by without speaking it in my hometown.

   As for the comic strip, it is the French accent from France for Québecois cuisine is famous for the poutine* which is far from “gastronomie”. hehehe

   *A concoction of French fries, gravy and cheese curds that can be surprisingly good if not filling!

    No surprise that NB (and not QC) is more bilingual–as QC has long been trying to force unilingual French (including a TOEFL-analogous exam for non-Francophone professionals, even those born-and-raised in QC; in contrast the actual TOEFL is not pushed even on Francophone Quebecois in West) on much of its population (including immigrants).

    Reminds me of what I saw being served in a college lunch grill that made my gall bladder spasm (metaphorically speaking) was Chili Cheese Fries! Put some onions on top of the Chili - you could be “repeating” that meal for hours!

    hey notnorman. Quebec has succeeded very nicely in Canada, in terms of equalization payments from our Feds, they’ve been “getting” from other provinces for years.
    I don’t think they’ll ever secede from the rest of us. (and I sincerely hope they don’t)

    I am glad to be with a man who will eat anything I cook, whether he recognizes it or not!

    @ Guntoting

    I hear ya about New Brunswick. I remember years ago being there (in Shediac) and listening to a couple of kids talk - they were totally bilingual - I don’t think they knew the difference between French and English and used both at the same time.

    Speaking of Canada, how is NUNAVUT pronounced? “noon-a-vut” or “none-a-vut” or ???

    I wouldn’t say most Canadians speak French.
    More speak Chinese. That would make more sense, at least in the Western provinces. Quebec has a weird anti English thing.

    to JosePeterson.We used to say Non o vut.

    i usually hear Nunavut pronounced with the “u’s” sounding like the “oo” in book, and the “a” sounding like the “a” in cat when i hear it mentioned on TV or Radio. It was still the North West Territories when I visited Frobisher Bay years ago, so don’t be annoyed if i’m incorrect.
