Go ahead & tease - the warning is up about this bein a private thread
BTW there was a reason for large famillies in french canadian history - it was ta preserve our culture & our language - ta prevent assimilation - it is reffered ta, in history books as "La revanche du berceau" - loosely translated - the revenge by multiplying of children ------ see, Canada was CONQUERED by the british - there was no contact with France for over a century. All imigration to Canada was from the british Isles - specially after the american revolution - so ta preserve who we were - our leaders (the church - priest & bishops) told our people the importance of having lots & lots a kids - & it worked! - until the last half century ...

I think that is what the Mexican immigrants are doing down here...
and that is not a hit at all Hispanics...just not real happy about all the illegal immigration we have here...
