I could not read.
I could not write.
And when questioned by school staff. I could not say all the letters of the alphabet.
In those days I could not speak english. French is my maternal language, and I could not read the books of maternelle.
To me this is what the rest of the province and country must think about.

And you think separating is the answer? Christ sakes I hoped you were smarter than this.
Maybe it's the PQ and all the high-level separatists who want to keep people illiterate in Quebec. After all, an uneducated population is a controllable population. They do it in the name of preserving your culture of course, which as I said before is retarded. There IS no threat to French culture, except for what is in the minds of separatists. Other people of differing nationalities preserve their cultures and ethnicities just fine without bitching about wanting to separate.
You want better education for Quebec? Stop voting for the bloc party and start voting as Canadians. Then, instead of demanding to separate, try demanding for more funding to Quebec schools. Separating is not "the only answer", in fact it's no answer at all.
