RHC: You don't read very well, or do you just have trouble
understanding plain English.

Canada is a true multicultural society and Quebec is very much a part
of it in spite of what separatists in Quebec would like to believe.
But having tolerance for those who would break up our country (even
while we embrace their culture) would be on the same level as having
tolerance for terrorism and those who blew up the twin towers. There
is a huge difference between having respect for the cultural
differences in a society, and tolerating those who would destroy it.

If you don't see that....well....nuff said...
