Yes. Jimmy speaks put against the Irvings. He’s making up for lost time because there’s no way to get his message out. He’s not allowed to write letters to the Editor and there’s no talk shows in New Brunswick.

Funding formula lost in translation
Education Province's antiquated fiscal policy fails to address francophone school system needs
French-language education, a pillar of New Brunswick's envied bilingual society, is starting to crumble under the weight of its unique financial pressures.
Delivering a high-quality education system is difficult enough in an era of tight budgets, but the francophone school system is also straining to find the money to pay for more expensive books and other materials, the courses to help young children who do not have a strong command of the French language and a diverse array of courses in high school to keep kids from transferring to the English system.
Although the francophone system's challenges are complex, the crux of the debate centres on the need for more cash from a decades-old funding formula.
That lack of resources to strengthen New Brunswick's prized dual education system has many in the francophone community worried about the continued forces of assimilation where French students lose their culture and identity.
Anne-Marie LeBlanc is the superintendent of District 1, which oversees French schools in Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John. She is witnessing first-hand how tough it is to administer a minority language school district.
"We need to address the particularities of the French school system in New Brunswick. We are a minority in New Brunswick," LeBlanc says.
Education Minister Kelly Lamrock will release the province's new education plan in the first week of June. The Liberal government campaigned last year on bringing the education system from worst to first in national performance and the education community will be paying close attention to the funding formula that directs how money is transferred to districts.
"If you really care about maintaining the vitality in the two communities you have to respond accordingly in human and in financial resources," says Michel Carrier, the province's commissioner on official languages, adding the only way to guard against increased assimilation of francophones is adequate education funding.
Louise Landry, the president of the Association des enseignantes et des enseignants francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick, agrees that francophone students are being held back because the education funding formula hasn't been updated in three decades. There is a desperate need for a new hybrid formula that would take into account the different needs in the two systems, the francophone teachers' association leader contends.
"We have to make sure to provide quality education to our students but we also need to promote and value our language and culture," she says. "We have more activities to plan all school year to make sure to do that and promote the language and the culture in order to survive."
Yessir "A hahaha pillar of society" ALBERTA SOCIETY,as english canada heads there,fed up with bilingual crap.
Sorry but Mr Webb has made some views known and even French people know the government was going down the wrong track but as long as they have the money flowing they don't want to stop the cash.
Many languages learned is an asset but forcing people who struggle one language is wrong. No respect for hard working people!
