    I have to agree that if one doesn't speak fluent English or French then they shouldn't be driving.

    I think its important to look at the bigger picture in this. What are EI's doing or Russians or other third worlders that is wrong? They merely are trying to corner a market as a good captalist would do. The rules of driving have changed over the years to help them as well as others cope with our society. The Signs test have had their words removed and its now only symbols. The Drivers Manual has had words removed because third worlders do not know what they mean as they have no experience in this. Common Sense is an example that has been removed because while nobody is saying that they dont have any, its they dont have experience with it. Its important to remember that when you come from a country where they have three wheelers, poverty and dirt roads, Canada is a xanadu to them and when you live in squalor, the condition of your truck does not mean much to you as you have seen worse. I have worked with East Indians in Brampton and I assure you they are not stupid and are very intelligent. I hate to say it but this battle has been lost and if anything is to change then its up to us to get our politicians to change the rules or move on to something else. I really hate to say that as I love driving as much as you guys do and you are probably experts in your chosen field but sometimes we need to take a step back and re-valuate and realize that we are in over our heads.

    Shows what you don't know.

    They are allowed an "interpretor" to assist them in the translation. So how much French/English would they need to know besides NONE!

    i agree with everything you said banco---its not the people that i dislike--not at all--quite the opposite--
    its the monopolization and isolizationism--that i dont approve of--which ranges from drivers/tow trucks autobodyshops and everything inbetween--anything to do with transportation--they have their own circle which they dont step out of which in some cases does nothing but flood the market and drive out companys that they dont deal with or cant do it as cheaply

    CANADA bends over BACKWARDS for the EAST INDIANS , and yet treat the NATIVE CANADIAN INDIANS like trash.

    The EAST INDIANS pull out their RELIGON CARD the minutes somethings not to their liking , they come to CANADA to supposedly BETTER themselves and for a BETTER way of LIFE , but drag with them the same HINDU LAWs and LIFESTYLEs that they are running away from.

    Try wishing someone a MERRY CHRTISTMAS and see the reaction of many of them , but yet they treat their wives like CRAP and if anyone says a word ITS RELIGON.


    Canadians are going to wake up when its TOO late and there will be nothing you will be able to do about it.

    I do that quite often, just because it's fun. I do it to Jews and Atheists too. The various reactions are a hoot.
