Okay, this is just ridiculous.

I'm trying to write a 8-12 page paper on efforts to preserve french language in Quebec, and I'm finding nothing. Now, this is a subject my teacher told me would be a snap to research - the morning I went to discuss this with her, she said she'd heard something on this subject on the radio that very morning.
