Interesting matter here, raised by Marcy. As one farther away from
the Montreal Forum--or wherever the Habs play now that the Forum is
no more--than is Marcy, and as one supposedly alienated, with Western
separatist leanings, and with a premier more provincial than Clyde Wells
ever was, I have a further question:
Do the Quebecois use the name "Habs" for the team, or is this
name an Anglicism rejected by Les Canadiens?
I appreciate the insights of Maragret and Mieke, but would like to know
about attitudes and actual practice in French Canada.
