Oh well, the Sikhs would be better served moving to a friendlier local anyway (pretty much anywhere is friendlier than where these are)>

How would the Quebeccies feel if the rest of Canada suddenly stripped off the French from government signage and documents?
When you are the minority in your country, and are afforded things like French signage everywhere, it seems especially petty to attempt to trod on the 'little guy' in YOUR state (where you are the big guy).
I won't say anything further about Canadian politics, as it's not my country, but personally I will nearly ALWAYS side with "tolerance/acceptance" over "my way or the highway".
