This very short post comes courtesy of my smartphone and I now can sympathize with anyone trying to post something of significance on the tiny platform.
Please use this post to comment on the budget and the proposed general election, rumoured to be on the way.
I'll be monitoring the comments board periodically, so I'd appreciate a little consideration in publishing stuff that knowingly violates the terms of this blog.
I actually have confidence in all of you to act respectfully.
In the meantime, congratulations to our women's curling and hockey teams on their golden moment and destiny with history...
Good for you to take a break from Quebec. Everybody needs that.
ReplyDeleteBudget? Lets call it what it is. Bullshit.
It doesn't really matter what all the complicated words mean.
The only useful part for quebec media and listening public is the usual part where they blame anglophones/immigrants and Canada for their lot in life.
Fabricated issues, their new Rosary beads. Touching the beads and thinking of the slights and insults against their culture and language. The lack of respect!
Constantly searching for things to blame the depressing state of Quebec on except themselves and their insanity.
Off topic from the budget, but totally awesome:

I'm sorry to insult you with non francophone cultural references.
Remember the most important thing in life is belief in the PQ and "pure francophone bloodlines".
Imagine how embarrassing it would be for a francophone to admit you had spent years following something that became basically Hitlers party.
Embarrassment and pride are the only things that are important based on the petty complaints at the OLQF.
The gazette would like to report the same news.
DeleteHowever they are still embroiled in an internal debate about how "partisan", "alienating" and anti-francophone this information can be construed.
However, the final sentence of this article says that by calling an election, it would spare them from testifying and having to provide any accountability for their actions (Marois’ lunches with the FTQ at Club 357c, the FTQ Solidarity Fund investing millions in Blanchet’s company and the like).
DeleteAnd I don’t know why you’re against The Gazette, cebeuq. Their article about it is right here:

DeleteLowlife xenophobes deserve to be outed and condemned for their unadulterated bigotry. The 'quebec' brand is enveloped in deep rooted prejudice as witnessed by this little charming post from previous:
"Si tu te sens embarrassée, c'est que tu te sens québécoise Cutie. Il faudrait donc que tu arrêtes de renier ta québécitude.
C'est comme les Italiens du Québec qui ont les cheveux et les yeux bruns et le teint plus ou moins basané. Au lieu de renier leur négritude, ils devraient plutôt la célébrer. D'ailleurs je suggère de les intégrer au Mois de l'histoire des Noirs, qui a justement cours présentement. Je souhaite aux Italiens du Québec qui vivent en anglais un bon Mois de l'histoire des Noirs!"
The intent is to wound and demean an ethnic minority, and make no mistake, this is real ETHNIC-BASHING at its best. Not to mention the worst violators of Civil Rights in North America live right here, in La Belle Province ...of North America. And so we share it with the world, tourists and investors alike, beware of the hugely ingrained, nauseating, uncivilized and putrid province this has become, as evidenced above.

What a great day! The ultra-corrupt couple, Marois & Blanchet now have to face the music and S.R is too busy throwing his fists up in the air for Team Canada.
DeleteS.R, we rarely see eye-to-eye, but you're right, Team Canada rocked it. Cheers to that!
So let's tally the score:
1. Marois to be roasted at the very commission she fought two years to get established. Funniest part about it being that she accused Jean Charest of being corrupt, but so far, all the dirt has been on her and her slimy husband.
2. The PQ delivered a half-baked budget that offers only a 50% glimpse into the actualities of Quebec's economic reality. I can smell the burning flesh from here.
By AnecTOTE
DeletePlease do not call it a budget, it's not even an excel sheet by the looks of it. If it tries really hard, maybe it'll be abe a short story..two-page bad fiction.
Marios wears the pants in the relationship.
DeleteRight now she's telling him when to shit and eat and he's listening.
The two of them are locked up in "mock charbonneau" sessions with lawyers.
By the time they come out of that they will be programmed with circular answers for everything.
The Charbonneau lawyers and their families will be under massive pressure to go easy on them.
The lawyers will never get invited to a neighborhood mechoui (drunk bikers, FTQ and PQ members) ever again.
The biggest problem with the Charbonneau commission at the end of the day is it's an indictment of Quebec model. As long as they focus on Italians and the mafia it's all fine.
Otherwise it's just uncomfortable truths for Quebecers.
Maitre chez nous has turned into "voleur chez nous".

You heard it here first, student a seppie insider, has just confirmed that this province's Premier, is hiding something. Her own husband's corruption perhaps? AND/OR her own?
Citizens of Quebec..is this kind of Premier you want? Shouldn't credible Leaders be above reproach? Don't you deserve someone who respects you enough to provide you with a credible budget when it's budget time? Do you still want someone who plays you? Manipulates you and is only interested in protecting wrongdoing perpetuated by her own Family members AT ANY COST?
Proof it is all smoke and mirrors, the 'budget' that is....there won't even be a vote on it. This is calculated and disingenuous. We deserve responsible government.

DeleteQuebec Cement makers are getting together to demand compensation from the Marois government for subsidizing the new cement plant in the Gaspé.
ReplyDeleteEconomics of proposed plant don't make any sense. Customers can buy Chinese cement plus transport it here for less than local production costs.

Cement makers are "connected". It's construction industry.
DeleteWhen they are unhappy things change.
The confluence of big money/unions/PQ will make sure that everybody walks away with a big check from the taxpayer.
"Labour peace" as Quebec calls it.
Okay, this is my challenge to all separatists in this blog. This is my premise: there is no active, high-performing Quebec athlete who is openly a separatist. Find me one if you can.
ReplyDeleteThis is my evidence:
Today during medal ceremony for women's ice hockey, ALL players of Team Canada sung the song. That include Rougeau, Ouellette, Daoust, Ward, Poulin, Lacasse and Labonte. Just watch the clip if you do not believe me. Now, I am quite certain someone will say that just singing Canadian anthem is not an indicator that one is not a separatist. For that, I say that true separatist does not sing Canadian anthem. Evidence? All the BQ members of Canadian Parliament never sing the anthem when it is sung in the House before question period.

Kevin,
DeleteI have one iMac. I needed to change the hard disk after 2 years. Cost me $500. I have a Dell laptop I own since 2004. Never needs any repair. It just too old and underpowered and out of today's spec. Right now I am just happy with another Dell and I let my son play with the iMac.
Editor - Hopefully it is still covered by the 1 year AppleCare warranty and won't cost you a dime (Apple repairs are outrageously priced, plus their techs don't actually "repair", they simply swap out main boards or the entire unit to save time and cost. The faulty component is sent back to the factory, where a 25 cent capacitor or whatnot is changed, and it is then resold at full cost to a new customer). Admittedly most other companies do the same, but at least their repair costs are more reasonable than Apple.
DeleteI wonder if they even diagnosed your Mac properly. What were the symptoms, did it just not turn on? Any lights or activity? Personally I just repair computers and electronics myself. Or build my own computers. Not a fan of Apple products these days, particularly not the Mac. Used to be a loyal Apple fan back in the early days though, before the Mac existed. :)
quebekistan budget:
ReplyDelete"Under Finance Minister Nicolas Marceau’s plan, the PQ seeks to create jobs, avoid tax hikes, further exploit Quebec’s natural resources and rein in government spending."
... And Santa Claus exists of course.....................................................
Fail.
Again.
@ student & kevin:
ReplyDeleteYou clowns have failed with regards to quebekistan's $7 daycare scheme.
"Marceau’s budget also calls for rate hikes to Quebec’s signature, $7-a-day public childcare program.
Starting in September, parents will pay $8 per day for the service, a rate that will rise to $9 per day in 2015 and be indexed in subsequent years."
quebec=FAIL.
I would rather indexing that sudden hikes every couple years.
DeleteBut I fail to see why you regard any kind of price increase as a FAIL. Do prices never rise in Frankfurt or has Germany suddenly experienced deflation?
Kevin
@kevin
Deleteyes the link between daycare rate hike and quebec failing is missing from un gars bs de frankfort's "comment". rarely are his rants coherent from start to finish. it happened once when he wrote that cutie003 was an unkempt bag. months ago.
Ahhh... Winter Olympics. That wonderful time where separatists average-joes are legitimatly proud of being Canadian and uber-racists PQ jerks are trying everything to create non issues to stop that Canadian pride.
ReplyDeleteFor the budget itself, Nicolas made his homeworks. No tax raises. Less state-providency and comparisons with other canadian provinces to set objectives. Its austerity but this is what we unfortunately need, that and diminishing the size of the government, which wont happen with these goofballs too busy sucking Rambo's dick.
Andre Prate in La Presse said Ottawa did right by cutting its spendings. Marceau is kinda cutting but not enough. It doesn't go far enough.
why should anyone care what andré pratte says?!?
DeleteEveryone that matters, cares more about what he says then idiots like you.

I read an interesting opinion piece, titled "Echoes of Rejection" in The Gazette ..Opinion -OP-Ed section, please consult as I was not able to attach link. It seems seppies have been practicing discrimination and segregation for well over a half a century now. But then we shouldn't be surprised, this is the seppie way, isn't it!

Echoes of rejection: http://www.montrealgazette.com/opinion/Echoes+rejection/9531089/story.html
Delete"As our provincial government prepares to lay yet another layer of “social engineering” upon us with this proposed new “Charter of Values,” I hope they will consider how 50 years ago, some francophones alienated so many Italians that the outcome now 50 years later does not appear to have worked in the favour of anyone in the francophone community."
Grassi: "Italians completely understand the francophone community’s desire to preserve and promote its language and culture. After all, against all odds, we Italians are trying to do the same with ours. But coercion can only go so far. Perhaps the use of more positive approaches would yield superior and more lasting results?"
DeleteI agree with Grassi on his observations regarding coercion, but I think he is underestimating the psyche of many Quebec francophones who think that they're language is worthless and only coercion can protect it. I recently heard P.Curzi say exactly this on MaTV after the screening of "La langue à terre": he said that "coersion is all we've got", and Bock Cote agreeing with him.
Ironically, this feeling of worthlessness influences the opinion of others. This self-opinion is rather easily detectable by new immigrants, old immigrants and allophones, i.e. people who unlike the anglophones, have no historical beef with francophones and can possibly have no superiority feelings. Yet this self-imposed worthlessness is something that an immigrant will detect not long after coming here, and come to a conclusion that francophones consider their own language worthless. And from there it's a small step to assuming that if they think that it is worthless, then maybe it is. And paraphrasing Grassi: this does not appear to work in the favour of anyone in the francophone community.
Is anyone surprised?

While the Editor enjoys his vacation, would you want for me to set up an interim WordPress blog where we can share this discussion in a moderated forum?
If the answer is yes, I'll proceed and set one up and S.R, Y.L and student will not be permitted into the discussion, only Michel Patrice.

It's ugly for now, but you guys can start commenting there and we can have a discussion without the presence of trolls.
As I wrote before, if the Quebec government realistically want to have a balanced budget they need to cut their expenditures:
ReplyDelete1. Close the Delegate Generals. Like other provinces, do activities from Canadian Embassies or Consulate Generals.
2. Eliminate dual tax-reporting practice.
3. Eliminate dual immigration approval practice.
4. Close OQLF.
1. conducting same activities from another office wouldn't cost less mate.
Delete2. i agree. jean-martin aussant proposed this many times. it would save close to a billion according to his calculations.
3. don't you agree that french quebec has distinct immigration needs?
4. why would you do that?!? it's only 20 millions per year.
quebec does not have special immigration needs - language is only language for Christ's sake. We need professionals and business people that are willing to WORK and won't be ostracized by quebec society because they are not white, catholic, pur laine francophones. Who the hell wants to move to an area where they are not accepted for what they are? God, you people are so stupid it's beyond my comprehension.
Delete@cutie003
Delete"quebec does not have special immigration needs"
of course it does. it's a distinct society.
"God, you people are so stupid it's beyond my comprehension."
does this mean that you have a good comprehension of what you consider as moderate stupidity?
Agreed Troy but will never happen especially with the PQ in power. I don't even know if the liberals would do any of the above but for sure any other political party in this province is having way too much fun on our dime to change anything.
ReplyDeleteInteresting comments on the monopoly of Paledeau and Quebecor:

More and more isolation and brainwashing in quebec.
Great article.
Deleteyup, good article. option nationale have it in their program to dismantle quebecor and gesca. and the pq has it on its agenda to get a newsroom license for tele-quebec. those changes would be awesome breakthroughs for democracy in quebec.
Delete“But immerse yourself in Quebecor content for too long and you might emerge thinking Quebec is a rotting beehive of corruption, teetering on the verge of meltdown. A lonely island surrounded by a hostile anglophone sea, boatloads of would-be suicide bombers washing ashore. A small and homogenous tribe of people, threatened with extinction, their only hope being to pull a blanket of "culture" over their heads.

Deleteyes i did. as i wrote earlier it's pretty good. it's interesting that this exerpt you bring forward goes against what you regularly post here about quebec being on the verge of meltdown, a small tribe of people blanketed by a fabricated "culture". couldn't you have chosen a bit that doesn't wreck your daily narrative mate? or have you changed your mind and agree that none of this is true and quebec is hardly a desperate place?
"Quebec is hardly a desperate place. But cultivating angst has become a recipe for profit, and power.”
DeleteI recently heard an excellent phrase used in Scotland to describe the politics of the SNP: the politics of grudge. This is exactly the politics of the PQ and its ally Quebecor. Apparently, this is the tactic you have to use if you want to break up a viable western democracy. Outside of the West, breakups happen from time to time, but as Stephane Dion correctly observed, one has yet to happen in the sphere of western parliamentary democracy.
People don't want to break up things that work, so if that is your political ambition, you have to dredge up things from 300 years ago and stir up the old grudges, make people feel miserable and set them on an endless quest for "respect", set people against other people until everybody has enough of each other.

DeleteHe wants to cover the one-block stretch behind City Hall. Maybe he wants to improve the view from his office...
DeleteIt's a superficial touch-up project, one that will cost well over a billion dollars to "beautify" an area around city hall. Montreal cannot afford to throw money on a trivial party celebration when infrastructure condition is now at a critical stage and people's lives are in danger (or have actually died from falling chunks of buildings, overpasses and caving in roads!).
DeleteWhat is so important about a 375th anniversary anyway? Seems an arbitrary milestone. Phhpt...are they going to have another party for the 380th? Maybe they should throw a celebration for every year that Montreal is still standing in one piece and not yet bankrupt. Can't be too many of left!

At least the construction is in the Eastern part.
DeleteThis is what we call a BOONDOGGLE.
It's a $500 million vanity project with little upside except symbolism. Perfect for Quebec.
It will go another $500 million over budget.
Dozens of construction firms will make their bizness off it.
At the end of the day the land created on top will be given to mob backed condo developers to exploit at undervalued prices.
It's always the same here.
Only the project name, location and year changes.
Meanwhile the streets they already built continue to crumble.
The city doesn;t understand they need to stop new construction totally.
They should not be doing anything except rebuilds at this point.
Every new project (or 40 year old fantasy) has a long term cost that is not calculated, budgeted or understood by "Les Quebecois".
We are already unable to fix the infrastructure with the monies available but they still keep building more, making the problem even larger over the long term.
Alright - it's pretty clear.

I think we piss him and the seppies off so much more than they do us. I wish I were the type of person like many other types of people who didn't give a crap, lived my life, worked, paid my taxes and not let anything political, mildly touch me. I did live my life like that for a LONG TIME..never even occurred to me there was a problem. Like many, I was on auto-pilot, spoke French when it was expected of me...which was always..never even asking myself..what was my language preference? What language do I want to speak? AND for the most part, I still do this..it is a habit. The minute a Francophone is In front of me, even if he/she speaks perfect English to me, I go to French, and people have reproached me about this, but I when I do it, I'm not aware I am doing it.
My point is, when you give people everything they want and everything they expect and they are still not happy AND still they hate you..well you know what..I'll give you a F*ING reason to hate me then, and trust me, it does't wound me in the least, that you hate me. As long as YOU understand, I'm the wrong person to screw with.

I don't but glad to hear that! At least some of them are catching on to the real agenda of this corrupt government.
DeleteLegault, a one-time media darling, has largely fallen out of Quebecers’ favour. The most recent CROP poll has the CAQ at 13 per cent. It has sparked rumblings, mostly on Quebec City’s many radio talk shows, of an “anybody but Pauline” campaign, which would see CAQ voters shift their allegiance to the Liberals, if only to prevent a split vote in the PQ’s favour.
ReplyDelete“The next election will be determined in Quebec City,” says Sylvain Bouchard, a popular radio host in Quebec City. “Unlike the rest of the province, it’s a three-way race here. If the Liberals and the CAQ split the vote, the PQ is on its way to a majority.” CAQ voters are typically conservative, susceptible to both the PQ’s charter project and cold economic fact. In the Quebec City region, they are also very loyal to their long-serving MNAs. They are tempting targets for both the PQ and the Liberals. Win them over, and you go a long way to winning the election.
http://www2.macleans.ca/2014/02/21/the-big-ballot-box-question/
Voting for the CAQ only makes sense if you happen to live in a riding where they are polling first or second. Only then will your vote count for anything at all. That’s the system we’re stuck with and you already know that perfectly well. We are stuck with voting strategically, not according to our conscience.
DeleteShowing your displeasure by voting for a third-place party sends no message to anyone whatsoever. Voting for a 4th-place party (like Apple IIGS says he’ll do) is useless and not even worth stepping out of the house for because that is the very definition of a wasted vote (never mind the tiny subsidy they get). Only Proportional Representation allows every vote to count, which is why almost nobody else in the world uses our broken FPTP voting system that was designed for two-party competition.
If you live in a riding where the first, second and third place parties are PQ/Libs/CAQ, then your vote for the CAQ is a vote for the PQ. Discuss.
If you live in a riding where the first, second and third place parties are Libs/PQ/CAQ, then your vote for the CAQ is still a vote for the PQ. Discuss.
In any event, we’ll still wind up with years and years of court challenges against the discriminatory policies that the PQ always favours and the political squabbling and perpetual conflict that the PQ always seeks, as with their usual anti-anglo and anti-ethnic witch-hunts that *will* occur.
The Libs own my riding, ain't no CAQ or PQ gonna win here. I actually took my name off the voter's lists because I was called for jury duty and this is where they get your name from. I got an exemption to skip jury duty but I was ticked that the paper I got from the courthouse seemed to say that I was "profiled" as an Anglo so that is why they selected me to be on a jury for an English trial. I also saw that ancestry.com has added election lists to their databases. Too easy to access personal information, if you ask me. I still can vote but have to show regular ID I think, if I have no voter card.
