Right now, There are voices being raised, who say that it's a little sad that despite your choice of Montreal as your home for the last sixteen years, that we entrust the Caisse de Dépôt et placement to a professional with less than satisfactory record as the head of BCE and with lack of experience in a financial institution?"<br /><br />I have not added the third point, as I fail to make the connection between cultural background and pension management.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-28858547877451806322009-03-26T16:38:00.000-04:002009-03-26T16:38:00.000-04:00yes, racism in it's purest form, and also harassme...yes, racism in it's purest form, and also harassment of the Anglo minority in QC. <BR/>I find it disgusting Landry states this in public, I have written about it here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/hugo/archive/2009/03/15/weeding-out-racism-in-the-workplace-a-letter-to-government-institutions-in-quebec.aspxHugo Shebbearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542714678024399257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-18992144296491325232009-03-23T21:13:00.000-04:002009-03-23T21:13:00.000-04:00If the reporter felt this was a bad choice, why wo...If the reporter felt this was a bad choice, why would he focus on Mr. Sabia's Ontario roots while at the same time acknowledging that Sabia has spent several years in Montréal. <BR/><BR/>This may be hard for the Québecois to accept, but Québec is still in Canada. Should a Québecois gets a job in Alberta, and it happens folks, no one would ever EVER suggest that they were inappropriate for the job because they were from Québec. <BR/><BR/>And do you know why?<BR/><BR/>Because that would be considered racist. They may think it, but they would never actually say it aloud. It is unacceptable. <BR/><BR/>One need not have been born into a particular region to gain an understanding of the reality of said region. I'm from Alberta but made a home in Montréal. It saddens me that no matter how good my french, or how long I live in Québec, I will not be accepted due to circumstances I can do nothing to change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-41237406817446552592009-03-15T15:50:00.000-04:002009-03-15T15:50:00.000-04:00Granted some idiots might wring their hands about ...Granted some idiots might wring their hands about the fact that the guy comes from an anglophone background.<BR/><BR/>This being said, he's not the right man for this job, period.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with french reader that hiring someone to manage Quebec money should at least be a bit knowledgeable about the province he's going to work for.Martin Gamachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006353945641466582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-25549060416363790922009-03-15T15:49:00.000-04:002009-03-15T15:49:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Martin Gamachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006353945641466582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-85895563200059443472009-03-15T13:54:00.000-04:002009-03-15T13:54:00.000-04:00The myth of the anglophone harassed by francos is ...The myth of the anglophone harassed by francos is still strong. Poor and miserable yourself.<BR/>The doubt on the nomination of Sabia is not about his language but:<BR/>1 - His record at the head of BCE<BR/>2 - His lack of experience in the financial institution.<BR/>3 - and his culture background showing, (I precise the word showing, it is maybe true or maybe not), showing, until now, no connection and no comprehension of Quebec.<BR/>It is intolerance to question somebody who will have to manage this money when we have so many doubts over his credentials.<BR/>I think it would be time to many anglos to question the fact they use the ethnic argument to undermine important issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
