"Shakobe, what interests you about the French language? I tried learning some French before going there and just ended up speaking English. They managed to colonise some poor African countries in the past and got them to speak the language, so learning French is a good thing if you are an aid worker or processing asylum/immigration claims in the UK, which is where they all want to come and live, but for anything else? I'd be interested to know! "

I'm surrounded by a French speaking province and a bilingual province. Also more people speak French in Maine (and have canadian ancestry) than in any other place in America. Half the veterans at my university's vet center are dual citizens.



 They come down pretty much year round to be tourists buy shit since canada charges 200% taxes to support HarperCare. Plus I want to be able to tell off those canadian border police fucks in french if they give me shit again. also, according to ancestry.com some of my relatives were french-canadian before they moved to the country that put a man on the moon.


Whoa, thanks Shakobe. I always knew Canada was North of the US, but I kind of thought it was 1000s of miles away from US civilisation. I also thought the French part was even farther away, in some place where they were cut off from the English speaking world, like those people that live deep in the Amazon jungle. It kind of feels wrong Shakobe..US and Canadian people mixing with each other...It feels like you guys are doing something that just isn't natural and should be stopped.

It is very amusing looking at Maine in Google Maps.. Didn't you used to live in New Hampshire? You guys and the Canadians seem to have named all of your towns after places in the UK. Maine has Belfast, Portland and Bangor, New Hampshire has Portsmouth, Dover and Manchester. Canada is even worse..they have London and an actual place called Cornwall! All of those places are in the wrong locations in relation to each other and somebody needs to reorganise all of their names. What were they thinking.
