As i mentioned in another post, my siblings and I would get smacked if we spoke English in the house.

You can imagine the roadblocks they had trying to retain the French culture and language while resisting 100% English assimilation in farming prairie life.

Point is, like many things, it's up to parents to transmit the cultural values they hold dear onto their progeny.

Money, and a feel good attitude by the paid "activists" is as effective as porkless tourtière.  

Doomed to failure, and flavourless.   In more ways than one.
