This has always been a functionally multilingual land, no matter what laws may have been passed to put a stop to the tradition and practice, either Canada-wide or in specific jurisdictions within what we now call Canada. These news items document governmental efforts to accept and accomodate the fact instead, which I approve of.

So we're trying to rebuild an intercity transit network - preferably publicly owned and operated - across Canada. Even if our provincial/territorial and federal governments don't quite realize that the country needs it right now. Certainly, the current management of my birth province of Saskatchewan doesn't realize it yet. That, or they are acting in defiance by using an austerity budget to justify what they've announced intent to do yesterday.
My family used the Saskatchewan Transportation Company when we lived in Saskatchewan. In the absence of a proper passenger rail service, and given the lack of attention given by privately owned bus transit, it was and still is vital to have.

A Note on CBC Support
Nov. 29th, 2006 09:46 pmJustin Beach recently passed along word of a petition re: the CBC that I think deserves a moment of thought.
I'll let Justin explain it...and if you agree with his thinking on this issue -- also mine own -- take a look at this link below:
More on other topics, including comics books, tomorrow.
