I come from Quebec, and I arrived in Manitoba in 1990. I've been here for 17 years, and I work in journalism and community development, in one way or another. In my opinion, the greatest achievement I've seen in the past 17 years is that so many things and so many projects have been carried out in all areas that Manitoba Francophones are now seen as a value-added. The majority no longer sees them as tiresome troublemakers that they especially don't want to hear about because when they talk, it's to complain.
So I believe that Francophones are now seen as people who are achieving success and who have a contribution to make. That's perhaps one of the biggest achievements I've observed in 17 years. In 1990, when I arrived, Francophones were still experiencing the after-effects of the language crisis of the early 1980s. We're no longer feeling those after-effects, and I believe that view is really out of date. Léo may not agree with me.
Do you agree with me? If Léo agrees with me, then it's right.
