Irate hockey fans asks: Ou sont les Habitants?

Dear editor,

Here is a fun fact. If you are a French speaking Canadian and live on Vancouver Island, you can watch your Montreal Canadiens, on Saturday Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC), in either English or Punjabi. (French channels blacked out or not available).

Nothing against either languages (I do speak one of them) but a bit of an insult to all the French speaking Canadian Forces members serving in Comox and in Esquimalt. Thank you Shaw Cable for not caring! Thank you Rogers, for your monopoly, based in Toronto. We have come a long way, albeit backwards, in this great country! Go Habs Go!
