Living English

The latest results from our exclusive EKOS poll of Quebec Anglophones examine the sense of belonging in Quebec. When we asked how Anglophones think relations are with Franco Quebecers, 40% say good or excellent. However, 30% say relations are only acceptable. Another 30% say they are strained or difficult. In the midst of this two new groups have emerged. Richard Yufe is with Canadian Rights in Quebec. Mark Bergeron is a member of The Unity Group. They spoke to Homerun's Sue Smith.
