The Journal uncovered this next anglo exodus this week in a report that found 49 per cent of young English speakers believe their relationship with francophones is “rather conflictual.”

Which, of course, is enough to justify the headline “Young anglos consider leaving” — a claim bolstered by an anecdote from a Côte-St-Luc borough councillor and a quote from a 17-year-old student at Dawson College.

One imagines they would have interviewed “la grosse vendeuse de chez Eaton’s” but the department store closed 20 years ago.

Never mind that this latest anglo provocation comes from a poll the Journal itself commissioned. It was enough to trigger a series of rants from Richard Martineau and Sophie Durocher about what ungrateful crybabies we are.
