my old hometown
The depressing part of this story, aside from the obvious redneckery, is that my old hometown of Sault Ste. Marie has become shorthand for such bigotry to Quebecers. Personally, I always thought it was ironic that the city council there were the first gang of jackasses to jump on the English-only bandwagon back in the early 90s when the town has a French name and about a third of the population speaks Italian fluently.
