It is not a generally known fact that Great Britain does not legally have an official language; that the official language is therefore that of the English Court; and that the language of the English Court is French. When Her Majesty the Queen visits Canada she speaks French, and has been filmed doing so with Pierre Trudeau and others. Considering that her lineage can be traced back to French royalty, The Quebecois and their monarch DO have something in common!

I am not a monarchist, but I do think the French Canadians do seem to be going a long way to alienate their friends in a world where patriotic nationalism seems to be a logical step on the way to war, considering that they were sold out by one of a historically long succession of French governments.
