Yeah, people in the burbs can be quite ignorant. I was born in 73 so no first-hand knowledge of what the political climate was like here back then, but apparently it was pretty rough. The whole language police thing (the OLF) here would be the number 1 reason that I'd have no qualms about leaving the province. It disgusts me.
