Whether we like it or not, french his part of the official language in this Country.
The french still represent 1/3 of the population of Canada.
There is no need to get into a hissy fit over this issue, the rules are to have the games in the most convenient language " bastardize English ".
Of course, unless you are a true descendant of English aristocracy from England, then you are no more an English than me French.
By the way for those who have yet to visit France, they vocabulary is atrocious, it has become so americanized it puts the Quebecois language to shame.
My mother tongue is Quebecois and I was raised in an English environment
Beaconfield, Quebec. lived here in BC for over 30 years, so who's truly Knowledgeable, some moron from Alberta bashing the Chinese of Vancouver, or a french full of himself stating Quebecois have no class speaking french, or some Hindu who still after 25 years here still doesn't speak neither official language.
Get with the program the Olympics are going to be in English whatever that is with some me cookie no speakie no understand person stating that one needs to take a cab to surrey before making it to the airport with the sound of Hindi music while you can eat some sushi, once at the airport or on commercial drive wherever the wind blows, stop for a wonderful espresso served by some Italian mama with open arms, and don't forget to purchase your HEMP bag and your organic juice from the perfect plastic bodies or Kitsalano babes just a walk away from Wreck beach homestead, lastly
have some Jamaican chicken that may or may not burn your tongue, in the hope you REALIZE that in VANCOUVER, the world is truly here the Best oyster, shut up and enjoy, welcome to Vancouver, Bienvenue a Vancouver,
Unless your American than you will find something to complain or worse fear.
recipe for life is 1 cup of SALT and 3 pounds of SUGAR make life much easier
Peace out
How I LOVE this City
