I find it hard to believe that in NB you ran into a person who speaks only French to the point of incomprehension and was unable to get someone who spoke your language. I would like to know where this location is to support this conjecture of yours.
Saint or St. Hubert's on Mountain Road - there take out section. Dark haired girl, shoulder length dark brown hair, brown eyes, slim, young and attractive.
On another note if this is true it is your right to be served in English or French and in this case
had you been polite enough to request it
Excuse me but the man did tell her he would wait on me when he was finished. He was after all at the same counter. And yes, I do like the guy. He is a very pleasant fellow and we chat up a storm when I go in on occasion to order take out. I wasn't impolite I said never mind and walked out. I didn't fly off or make any derogatory statements to anyone. You assume too much Canada.
Unfortunately if there is a problem with the French in the area you just leaving without voicing a complaint to the management whether at the store or higher levels will not correct the problems.
I know the owner personally and I really don't give a ****. I also know those employees who work the dinning room area MUST be bilingual or else he will not hire them.
Numbers are great and in answer to your question there has been about 20000 new jobs created in new Brunswick since 99.
And out of those 20000 jobs how many are available for English only speaking employees?
No Where in my posts does it talk about a girlfriend or any other significant other so again please stop making assumptions and lets stick to the topic at hand. you do like to change the subject don't you.
Actually your posts are written in such a way that I figured there must be a female floating around behind you, looking over your shoulder while you defend the French. I just have a "gut feeling" (call it an intuition)that an Acadian woman is behind your argument. I often get a sneaky suspicion of something and it is usually correct. As a matter of fact, I am seen a message in my cereal. It may be a warning. It reads:
OOOO !! Whoops, sorry, I am wrong,it isn't a psychic message.I forgot I am eating Cheerios.
I still find no valid evidence with anything you say to support that there is any difficulty finding employment for an Anglo in New Brunswick or the Maritimes for that matter.
OK I will dig out my research and post it ASAP but not tonight.
I do have to agree with melba though the Maritimes have some great nature attractions.
AND it is sad that some people have to lave the area for employment. Think of the natural beauty they are missing.
