Well there in our country we let them celebrate everything here then how come if we go there we can't celebrate christmas then were the real ones offended.
If it was a domestic issue, I would have a problem with it... but since its an international issue, its a bit different. Canada and the US arent based on any specific religion. Freedom (religious freedom included) is the basic rule for countries like Canada and the US. We cant hold up to that name if we say "Well, we're giving the christians the right to celebrate their holidays, but we dont feel like allowing anyone else to celebrate theirs."
Burnside: I've noticed the same thing! 1 km from the Quebec border (Ontario side):
"You are approaching the Quebec border.
Vous approchez du frontière du Quebec."
1 km from the Ontario border (Quebec side):
"Vous approchez du frontière des anglophone puantes, Ontario."
