Les Anglophones du Québec sont bilingues et à leur place. Ils ne nous montent pas sur la tête comme dans le reste du Canada. Pour préserver leur langue anglaise, ILS feraient pire, croyez-moi. Alors nous étions ici avant eux, et nous y restons. L'épuration économique du Québec fait partie de son histoire, ils en sont capables, la critique des autres, ils l'ignoreront.

It's all clear to us, and not QC bashing b/c it reflects the reality, that to him we simply do not exist or should not exist in QC, only 'historically'. No wonder his nutcase followers like Louis Préfontaine blog openly about l'épuration de nos institutions étrangers! Taking the 'Nation within a United Canada' to mean QC belongs to them, and them only.<br />BTW Liberal Candidate Philippe Allard mentioned this magical mystery tour in Scotland (retirement safe-haven in Scotland with some fellow anglophobic nationalists, perhaps mon cher Gilles?) today during the open mike with Iggy at Dawson.

His English is inadequate and annoying, and is not suitable for any kind of public speaking<br />2. It is highly inappropriate of any public speaker (let lone someone aspiring to be a statesman) to READ the ENTIRE speech from the notes while slouching and looking down at the notes the whole time, and without facing the audience at all. <br />3. In a hardly 25 minute speech he couldn’t avoid going in circles and repeating himself, sometimes several times - for example, he repeated FOUR times that Quebec didn’t ratify the 1982 constitution and that Canada failed to “accommodate” Quebec<br />4. He did not elaborate on what Quebec demands are and what it really means to “accommodate” Quebec – that in fact most of the demands are abstract enough so as to make them un-fulfillable and ensure that this circus goes on forever, and that all the concrete and quantifiable demands are simply preposterous <br />5. In the part of his speech where he talked hypothetically about a role an independent Quebec would play on the international scene, he proved that his entire political philosophy is either totally cynical, or totally delusional<br />6. Talking about going from 30% for the Oui in 1980 to 49% in 1995, he did not elaborate on the dubious circumstances under which the 49% was obtained, nor admitted that the upswing between 1980-1995 is no kind of a trend, as the % could go up or down, and in this case it has in fact gone down<br />7. Telling the gentleman draped in the Canadian flag: “be quiet” was totally inappropriate. Saying “please, let me finish” is ok, but “be quiet” is indicative of complete condescension and lack of manners<br />8. In the course of answering a question about restrictions that Francos and Allos face in regards to access to English educational institutions – he resorted to the old trick from the PQiste handbook – “if other countries do it, why can’t Quebec” (in his examples, he arbitrarily used Italy and Sweden – but it could be any country-the PQiste handbook leaves some freedom there). He however failed to mention that in Italy or Sweden English schools simply do NOT exist, whereas in Quebec there is an existing (real and tangible) system of English schools, with teachers, students and school boards. All of this means that an immigrant to Sweden or Italy is not able to send his kids to English schools for purely PRACTICAL reasons (these schools simply do not exist), whereas in Quebec it is a completely IDEOLOGICAL issue (i.e. based on an arbitrary and subjective opinion, and NOT on any practical constraints). <br />9. He failed to mention that in Sweden or Italy, the need for English might not be as pressing as it is in Quebec due to demography<br />10. He said that in Quebec, as anywhere else in the world, there are private English schools that are open to everyone. He did not say (as in the case of cegeps), that this private system is under constant political assault and will be a likely target shall the PQ be elected to the government.adskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196014962059056067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-89364801917140077392010-11-22T09:22:24.206-05:002010-11-22T09:22:24.206-05:00To Troy: Stop crying poor little lamb of god !To Troy: Stop crying poor little lamb of god !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-48148696467545789032010-11-21T15:20:34.368-05:002010-11-21T15:20:34.368-05:00The shame with Proulx is that he is great with Can...The shame with Proulx is that he is great with Canadian/Quebec history with no revisionism.

You’re back from the land of bashing the Left and hunting for somewhat elusive “Islamists” to the land where you truly shine – exposing the pettiness and the lies of Quebec nationalists.<br /><br />Re: Duceppe’s clip<br /><br />First off, what a disaster. A man who aspires to be a premier of an independent country is reduced to giving a lecture in some freshman poli sci class at the U of Edinburgh. He doesn’t even get a university-wide lecture in the evening, where all the faculty can attend, but is reduced to giving a talk to a bunch of undergrad students.<br /><br />Second, what a lame and evasive answer. He is lucky that this was the last question of the lecture, and that his audience consisted of a bunch of easy-to-bully kids. Because his answer fell way short, and a rebuttal would have been more than necessary.<br /><br />(Also note how he chooses to raise his voice to drown out the question. Standard technique for those who have no argument.)<br /><br />Duceppe: “Quebeckers could go to anglophone Cegep”<br /><br />True, but how does he respond to Curzi’s proposals? From now on, every time Duceppe uses English Cegeps as an argument for the openness of the Quebecois society to English, he must also articulate his opposition to Curzi’s ideas re: Cegeps. Without it, his argument falls flat, courtesy of Pierre C.<br /><br />Duceppe: “3 universities in English subsidized by Quebec”<br /><br />The “subsidized by Quebec” is a gross oversimplification. For sure, they’re not completely subsidized, and not subsidized as much as Francophone universities.<br /><br />Duceppe: “There is more bilingual people in Quebec”<br /><br />Not as many as there should be, given the demographic reality. Many are bilingual based solely on Stat Can SELF-ASSESMENT forms. Many are bilingual but speak atrocious English comparable to that of Duceppe, which might be good enough to watch a show on English tv, but a huge handicap in obtaining employment outside of Quebec. And those who are fully bilingual are so NOT with the blessing of the PQ, or not even with the PQ as an impartial bystander, but DESPITE the best and ongoing efforts of the PQ to keep Quebec unilingual French.<br /><br />Duceppe: “English is the lingua franca of the modern times”<br /><br />Correct, but irrelevant to the question.<br /><br />Duceppe: “We have to speak English, there is no problem with that?”<br /><br />Errr? No problem with that? Not according to everything Duceppe and his entourage stand for…<br /><br />Everything he says after – sidetrack.adskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196014962059056067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963035472241877292.post-41602158547548384742010-11-19T09:36:25.323-05:002010-11-19T09:36:25.323-05:00While it is quite amusing to watch Proulx almost s...While it is quite amusing to watch Proulx almost spit out his dentures, it makes you wonder why does (almost) no one call morons like him to task for spewing ignorant crap like that?
