The constitutional elements th...Back to the basic.<br /><br />The constitutional elements that a country gives to itself are to be seen as nothing else but a contract among the different parties involved. As such, it has nothing to do with racial issue. <br /><br />The question of minority and majority sound all wrong so far. A really Canadian Citizen would agree that English and French citizens ARE initially the only two co-founders of the country and are to be considered equal. If you are a Canadian, you would then stick to the constitution that was laid by the founders of the country. The French culture should then be supported and even defended. To try by any means to reduce the proportion of it community is therefore to be considered unconstitutional. Neither English individuals nor French ones should be left alone in a competitive struggle with the minorities formed with the new comers. <br /><br />It should be humbly remembered that the background of the Canadian founders belonging to the English side came to Canada’s land as peoples running in escape from the thirteen Anglo-Saxon colonies territories at the crucial time they decided to proclaim their independency from the crown of England. So, culturally speaking, there has always been somehow from them a sense of disgust related to the very idea of independency. Someone should be realistic enough to admit that this aspect of this particular culture is still manifested in social and political position presented. The tendency to fail to recognize the equal status of their co-founder might well be part of this. The French culture might as well have its own particularities in regards to this line of consideration.<br /><br />The bi-cultural context of Canada would probably work much better in an environment that is closer to a republic state than the actual monarchic parliamentary form. The Queen of England having to bear the status of the supreme head of the Church of the Anglican believes is certainly related to a great part to the pursuance of this form of government. As such, this is a case where a religious faith comes to impede with a normal secular settlement of a democratically chosen agreement or social contract. The argument of symbolism concerning the actual influence of the crown of England is more than factice since it is still operant, would it be in a subtle manner.<br />I believe these are preset points and should be basic to any discussion concerning Canadian social development.<br /><br />If the English party doesn’t support anymore the French’s one, it is then just a fair play that it withdraws its interests from the prevalent contract, despite the cultural reluctance of the other party toward the idea of autonomy or independency.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />MarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-75761444762213902612010-05-27T23:42:13.212-04:002010-05-27T23:42:13.212-04:00NOUS VAINCRONS !

I suppose the point I am trying to make is if the culture that you have isn't strong enough to retain it's own distinctiveness without the presence of laws, then quite possibly that culture/language should simply not be around. I say make people want to adopt a language or culture rather than forcing one to do so, a lot like Montreal has. Can't say there is anywhere else in the country like that. <br /><br />By the way 52% of people do not speak English as their first language here in Greater Vancouver (population of approx 2.2 million). Everyone get's along just fine, and has morphed into quite the unique society tolerant of pretty much anyone.... except stores that don't allow you to bring your dog in.

All those who oppose Bill 101 must be affulent; they must be white Anglophones; they represent the money of the province, out of touch with metropolitan reality, snug in the 'burbs trying to dictate to the common people. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Those opposed to Bill 101 might live in West Mount and the West Island but they're also in the working class neighbourhoods of Park Extension, NDG, and all across the island. They are also immigrants representing many ethnic backgrounds.<br />The reality of it is that the sovereigntist movement and the proponents of 101 are those who represent an overwhelmingly homogenous white, Catholic group whose goal is to preserve themselves from the waves of immigration and the rest of Canada. <br />You wouldn't know what a Rhodesian was if he wound up and gave you a swift boot to the ass but, if you take a look at the political leaders of the nationalist movement you might begin to get an idea of what the politics of exclusion, xenophobia and racial supremacy really look like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-52709037720666762862010-03-04T21:49:03.526-05:002010-03-04T21:49:03.526-05:00RHODESIANS !:)RHODESIANS !:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-71347477254186973262010-03-04T18:39:39.314-05:002010-03-04T18:39:39.314-05:00''I often find myself thinking of a future...''I often find myself thinking of a future idependent Quebec as a northern version of Mexico'' JUST GO OUTSIDE FOR TAKING A SUNBATH, it will remove your bad ideas !:) Seriously, get over it !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-5160526223075856552010-03-04T18:37:00.276-05:002010-03-04T18:37:00.276-05:00RHODESIANS leave your suburb bungalow !

I often find myself thinking of a future idependent Quebec as a northern version of Mexico. But since it's not independent, it can put bill 101 right up its ass because it denies me my rights under the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms. I, for one, no longer comply with the law and fines be damned.

Maybe the Franco-fascists should have been allowed to set fire to English neighbourhoods for you to have been satisfied. Either way, Trudeau did not go far enough.

Here's a little reality check - if Quebec ever becomes independent it will be politically and economically dominated, if not raped by neighbours that dwarf it in every respect. You're not going to be Belgium, because this is not Europe. Not to mention that if you think Belgium has enjoyed any real independence in its time of existence, you should really look into their history.<br /><br /> "we don't want to be assimilated and we can be owner of our own house !!:)) "<br /><br />I can understand that and I share your concern to a certain extent. I'm a part of an ethnic minority much smaller than yours and we do our best to retain our language and culture. Considering the generations we've been here for, we've been doing ok without the protectionism so I don't see how you should have any problems. As for this being your house, it's not. It's mine too, and everybody else's who moves to this province. In fact, this 'house' belongs to every single Canadian if he choses to relocate. The same can be said for you if you could peep past your narrow-minded regionalism and see that this whole country is yours. If you don't want this country and would prefer a unilingual and largely homogenous French white culture, I suggest you look across the pond, because Canada is not it!<br /><br /> "The reality is that some people are so rhodesian"<br /><br />I love how all sovereigntists use this term. I suggest you look at the parallels between South Africa and here, even if they might be a stretch. I think you'll find that even at a cursory glance the shoe fits on your end a whole lot better than on ours. After all, you're part of a majority that has turned the island of Montreal into a series of ethnic enclaves that are politically and culturally marginalized as les autres, and dominated by an educational system that forces them to speak your version of white. This is something that even the English didn't do to you. <br /><br />"Find your own project and do it ! Leave Québec doing is own thing !"<br /><br />Agreed. A referendum to seperate the island of Montreal and its western territory from the province of Quebec. Let Quebec do its own thing, we on the island consider ourselves Canadians and will regain our consitutional rights even as Ontarians.<br /><br />"la crise d'Octobre"<br /><br />And just why the hell would I apologize for that, assuming that I'm the proper official to grant such an apology? It was radical sovereigntists that conducted kidnappings, bombings and murder. As far as I'm concerned, and in light of the events that followed this, Trudeau did not go far enough. <br /><br />" the territory is all under the juridiction of l'Assemblée nationale"<br /><br />That might be so but it doesn't change the fact that I have every right to demand my rights as a Canadian and which are illegitimately withheld from me by your so called 'national' assembly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-6839309618493909682010-03-03T00:24:37.069-05:002010-03-03T00:24:37.069-05:00For information: is Québécois who want to be !For information: is Québécois who want to be !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-90586270941402634812010-03-03T00:24:37.070-05:002010-03-03T00:24:37.070-05:00I must give more precision to my last comment.
