While I appreciate that it seems strange how our Parliamentary Secretary to la Francophonie can't speak French, I also appreciate that maybe it's time for speakers of both official languages to be included in la Francophonie (bearing in mind, of course, that the Minister for la Francophone can actually speak French).
Otherwise, it really is a matter of "Canada" speaking on behalf of Quebec and a minority of communities scattered throughout the country - which is what we always deny. Is la Francophonie nothing more than a forum for debating issues related to the French language? Of course not. Why, then, should it be an exclusive club? If anglophones are not spoken for at those events, then perhaps Quebec really should have it's own seat at this particular international forum!
And Rolling Stone of all places, has an interesting article on peak oil. Here's a subject-related list of books.
