The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

The dates are worked out from the publication dates and the authors' deaths. In the United States a book published before 1978 is protected for 95 years after publication, and a later one for 70 years after its author's death; in Canada a book is protected for 70 years after its author's death. Protection runs to the end of the year, so a book enters the public domain on 1 January.
