Quebec Premier Jean Charest's Trip To Europe

"It's about the vacation trip of Premier Jean Charest to Europe; if it's paid with my tax dollar, then it's a shame. We should ask him to pay for the trip including all those suckers who went with him. That's taking advantage of the situation and that's corruption." Damien Sto. Cruuxien 8/06/03

It is particularly closely related to Hebrew, and was written in a variety of alphabetic scripts, the "Hebrew" script is actually an Aramaic script." cdb 7/30/03

The Post Office Workers Wants more Money

"Instead of giving them more money, all the government could do is cut 10% of taxes collected from their pay, and that's considered an increase. But, give more will only make them lazier and will demand less working hours. By the way, the last time our postman said "Good Morning" to me was twenty years ago. The reason is; those recruited or hired in Quebec, serving Montreal and the suburbs were not bilingual as prescribed for Federal employees for Quebec, they only spoke French. Now, that I understand that, I greet them first (of course) in French and the problem is solved." jt 7/16/03

"What's this a Joke? We don't have enough "wise guys" in Ottawa to put us more in trouble? This "Wise Person's Committee" is another waste of money.  They could  unionized themselves and this will become another privy council we don't need.  Remember the one that almost bankrupted this country, the one that almost put his political party six feet under the ground?, well, maybe we could put him back as prime minister to form a "Wise Guys' Assembly", to make us all "real and honest to goodness wise guys."  Ask Brian Mulroney, I think he already bought CTV.  jt 7/12/03

WHAT A SHAME! THE WAR THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED

"It's a shame that the war on Iraq was based on wrong info, but, whatever happened should stop right there and should not expand to other countries. Diplomatic approach is the best tool the U.S. can use to institute peace around the world. Spreading printed U.S. green bucks doesn't solve the problem, it only escalates corruption and instability.

SCRAP MULTICULTURALISM BUDGET, AND SPEND IT ON BECOMING MORE CANADIAN

WELFAREVILLE: HOW DO YOU BOOT OUT 25,500 RECIPIENTS WITHOUT POLITICAL REPERCUSSION?

"There are 544,229 people or households on the welfare system, that’s not counting those who are receiving federal benefits on supplementary income. This could exceed easily between 750 and 850,000. The system is well in placed and there’s no way cutting it down would solve the problem. The last (time) I heard they are even unionized, well fitted in a country where almost everything are unionized. That’s a tough job for Jean Charest’s Employment Minister Claude Bechard, and it’s not achievable. Leave those in system alone for the mean time while a commission studies how to trim down the system, because money saved from welfare is passed along to another system and nothing is solved in the long run.  The government should form a committee to study our system composed of real and honest to goodness economists not suckers and idiots or pretenders. That’s the best Jean Charest could do before moving on against the welfareville people." cdb 7/04/03

Don't deport us

"Maybe it's illegal to come here, but what would you have done in our place? We came because it's very calm here. No one's waiting for us around the corner. People don't realized the peace they have here." Doris Borja Hurtado, 21, refugee claimant along with her father German Borja (51) from Colombia speaking on why they came to (Montreal) Canada. Tribune's note: C'mon guys, let them stay. We have plenty of space for them... in fact we need 10 million more immigrants.

MULTI CULTURAL SOCIETY?

WHAT'S THERE TO UNDERSTAND OF WHO IS TAKING CARE OF WHO?

"The one thing that's secured now are those working for the establishment...., yah man... yes, they are all well paid.. the gap is more than 100% compared to the private sector workers, and that's with university education... from the civil service to law enforcers to garbage collectors, they just have to protect their jobs first before service, and that’s what our genius politicians should check before it’s too late. The previous governments since mid seventies had been ran by punks. Can Jean Charest do something about it? I doubt if he could even touch the problem, these unionized groups are well equipped with uncivilized morons who won’t take anything for less. Jim Salimovitch 6/24/03

"Looking around someone's neighborhood are easily seen people in costumes or just how they dress up from way back home, most of whom were entered into the welfare roll. I thought the government or the system got them in just to pass the number game to show the world that we a very compassionate country. Speaking of (the) system, we have the best compared to other countries but the only problem is that the government didn’t have the people that knows how to apply the other half of the "system," procedures are not followed accordingly to make these refugees productive again, as they won’t look pathetic when you see them around" Rosa Merchants 6/20/03

MORE THAN 50% OF QUEBEC RESIDENTS COULD BE CHARGED LIKE THIS GUY

Indian Leader David Ahenakew

'Every one who, by communicating statements, other than in private conversation, willfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty…Criminal Code of Canada 319(2)

NEWS: REGINA - Saskatchewan native leader David Ahenakew, who referred to Jews as a "disease" last year, was charged on Wednesday with promoting hatred.  The Saskatchewan Justice Department said Ahenakew has been charged under section 319(2) of the Criminal Code. The charges relate to comments Ahenakew made last December. Speaking with a Saskatoon reporter at a conference, Ahenakew praised Hitler for trying to "clean up the world" when he "fried" six million Jews in the Holocaust. He said Hitler's rise to power was a response to the "disease" of Jewish world domination.

Can't we not leave the Indians alone? David Ahenakew, already asked forgiveness and apologized to all the Jewish groups for what he said... what more do we want from him? If the government really want to suck up, then check more than half of people in Quebec could be charged of the same offence. I could be contravening the law if I say, I don't like the Moroccans, I don't like the Lebanese, or I really hate those Nigerians, can't I?  On the other hand, probably that's what separate us from the Americans: they are always in trouble and we are not."

JEAN CHAREST'S BIGGEST CHALLENGE

"Can Jean Charest undo the damage done by the punks who ran the government for the last thirty years? It was a waste of almost three decades, nothing was done only built a separate society of the privileged in the pretext of protecting a culture and a language... The bottom line,  it turned us into the most stressed out people in the country. Do we really have intelligence around here?" Edna Conforti 6/09/03

IT’S JUST A STATEMENT BORN OUT OF THE GREEN BUCKS ... BAND AID PEACE SOLUTION.

“Israel could not keep Palestinians under occupation. Hold on the West Bank and Gaza Strip is unsustainable.” Gen. Ariel Sharon, the conqueror of Palestine

"It was the first time we have heard him refer to an occupation of some kind -- whether it's just the presence of Israeli forces in Palestinian cities or whether it's the occupation of territory. But, I think it shows he recognizes that whichever interpretation you put on it, the occupation of particular cities or of territory is a situation that is unsustainable over time. It was a positive statement."  U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell Powell, speaking at a joint news conference with Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini

Let's bring in some economic advisers from south of the border... not their president, just the ones that would tell us that our self styled economists are graduates from the former Soviet School of Economics. By the way, did anyone tell Bank of Canada, to stay away from controlling the value of our money (currency buy and sel scheme) and also, is this agency part of the national budget so its profit and loss is monitored?  Let the dollar float."

A DEGREE OF TOLERANCE

"We all need a bit of this, but bending the law to allow the recently arrived inhabitants to do what they do back home will find ourselves taking care of more people in the welfare system. Lots of them do business (in cash); work under the table (paid in cash), and at the end of every month collects welfare checks.  We even keep murderers and provide criminals sanctuary…That's degree of tolerance?

TOO MUCH CONTROL AND DEPENDENCY

"The government may think that complete control on us could make things easier for the system to flow smoothly. We are becoming a predestined  society all to end up tired, and exhausted, but most probably would wind up dependents on welfare handouts. Hello, hello, hello? John Misfitstein 5/16/03

UNTANGLING THE MESS

"It's not that hard to put it back to where it was before. It's those who are already sitting pretty, comfortable with the gift that the former Quebec Separatists government had done to create One Island One City gimmick or trick for political gain that didn't work. Premier Jean Charest used it to win the election... so, disentangling should follow as promised.

As John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business in 1993 was quoted saying 'It's turned our country into a nation of liars and cheats" that's for the GST.

WHY PHILIPPINE MAIL ORDER BRIDE IS FAMOUS

Ruffa May, Famous Philippine Movie Star (courtesy of Philippine News)

“Mail order brides had been practiced for more than 40 years around the world, including England, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and all other countries were letters are delivered.  But why is it that Filipino women are more desirable to marry than the others? The very simple answer is that they are caring, more likely to stay for economic reason, creating stability on the relationship regardless of age difference. A great majority of marriages works, that’s not just 50% plus one but accordingly it’s 85% compared to other countries.  The small percentage of failure happens when husbands becomes abusive, too controlling, and stingy. And, on unconfirmed report that Philippine men are basically lousy lovers and boring partners is not true, it's actually everyone's wish to get out of the country for it's awkward economic and civil system."

OF COURSE MR. BUSH

Bush: 'Well done,' but war on terror 'goes on' Bush and Australian Prime Minister John Howard in Crawford, Texas, on Saturday.

On WMD: “Iraq’s the size of the state of California,” he said. It’s got tunnels, caves, all kinds of complexes. We’ll find them, and it’s just going to be a matter of time to do so. We’re learning, for example, that Tariq Aziz (surrendered to U.S. forces April 24) still doesn’t know how to tell the truth. He didn’t know how to tell the truth when he was in office, he doesn’t know how to tell the truth as a captive. Mr. Aziz is not co-operating but the U.S. will learn what it needs from lower-ranking officials and ordinary citizens.

On Australia: “The Prime Minister is a man of courage. He understands the responsibilities of freedom. America is really grateful for the sacrifices of the Australian people and the leadership of … John Howard.” Note: But who's really interested in attacking Australia and for what? It's too far...and really complicated. Ed Master 5/4/03

So suddenly they want to do it on their own... disgusted, I left them alone.. What happened? They never got organized and almost all ended up on welfare. Thanks to our Welcoming Canadian Welfare Department but that's another story. The US should go ahead install the whole apparatus prepared before coming to Baghdad, because it’s going to work.

If this daily's 's editor would further inquire around, the maid's story is somehow true and the backgrounds of the owners and managers are questionable.

Has The Quebec Political System Gone to Pot? Weeding Out The Sticky Quebec Election SphinxMontreal

Like wow dude! The Quebec elections scheduled for Monday April 14th are quickly approaching. Looks like it is time to scope things out and get a feel for the three main combatants.

Bernard Landry, leader of Parti Quebecois has been busy escalating his feud with the media when he should be solidifying his platform. Click here to read a Montreal Gazette story detailing PREMIER Bernie's latest tantrums.

Obviously, this is not the time for Landry to be alienating members of the media, who are capable of influencing public perception just as much as a joint influences one's perception. In other words, if Landry is going to get "stoned", it should not be from members of the press.

The PREMIER, who prefers to be called Prime Minister, has also previously angered the poor and women's activists with insensitive comments. Whether he will be able to overcome these revealing comments about his true inner thoughts remains to be seen at the polls.

The PREMIER

Time For Change?

In stark contrast, Jean Charest, who heads up the Parti Liberal du Quebec, has maintained a solid campaign structured around his disciplined work ethic. Charest is revolving his message around political change, something which will be welcomed by more than a few Quebecors.

Since Charest is in his mid 40's, he can reach out and relate to the Quebec youth a little more adroitly than Landry, who may be out of touch with key issues pertaining to the younger populace.

Charest's strong appearance in a recent televised debate has also helped to cement his public image. So while Charest is taking the "high" road with the media, Landry is "bumming out" and becoming a "downer."

Action Democratique du Quebec, the party led by Mario Dumont has also taken significant strides in the campaign. They are maintaing a respectable 15-20% poll position. Regardless of how the ADQ finishes, they have shown they are force to be dealt with in the future. Not bad for a 32 year old who many may have considered "green" behind the ears.

Who to Endorse During These "High Times"?

After much headbanging, the Sphinx gives one half of an endorsement to the Parti Liberal du Quebec and the other half to the Parti Bloc Pot du Quebec, whose platform endorses an end to cannabis prohibition.

Bright Future

       Higher Ground

Although legally you are not permitted to vote for half a candidate, half an endorsement is allowed. How about half an ounce?

How does the Bloc Pot Party stand on the other pressing issues? Their unanimous support of convenience stores with an extensive supply of "munchies" is a no-brainer. Also, in the unlikely event of a Pot Party victory, there will be pot parties all over Quebec.

When you weigh in with your vote on Monday, just make sure your candidate does not smell like "skunk".

The rest of us except for those who are government workers and unionized groups should quit; those who are sixty and over could apply for the GIS (Guaranteed Income supplement) and the rest should go on welfare, 61% are already there anyway.  There's so much money recycled between federal and provincial governments collected from too many taxes...So a great number of us say there's something wrong with the system... but it seems no politicians or bureaucrats or the academics are talking about it or maybe, they just don’t care at all.” cdb 4/03.03

QUEBEC ELECTION, WHAT ELECTION?

"Maybe none of the could be better off to win but the Anglophones and the others didn't have any choice just elect the ones with the color red on their logos."  Johnny Withstrap 4/01/03

WHAT'S INDONESIA DOING?

“No problem sympathizing with anyone if they are considered equal, but they are not, the same as the Catholics of Europe treated their counterparts in Asia from as way back when they say they discovered it for the world. Wake up brothers, those from Malaysia and Brunei and Singapore, these Moslems from the Mid-East and the Arab region thinks we are the inferior class. Islam taught to us by the Great Mohamed left us to believe that peace is the only way to live on earth. We cannot continue supporting Muslims who would teach hate and destruction of their own people like Saddam Hussein.” Abu Ansari, somewhere in Asia 3/31/03

SURE! BRING IN Al-JAZEERA THROUGH VIDEOTRON AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET

WHAT'S THAT NAME AGAIN? IS IT GLOBAL TV QUEBEC OR GLOBAL TV MONTREAL?  Jaimie Palaciones

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? WE HAVE TROOPS IN IRAQ!

Canada already have soldiers fighting in Iraq under the British flag. So, what's this story that we are not supporting Uncle Sam? Prime Minister Jean Chretien should tell them that, instead of trying to bullshit the world.  Sovereignty!!! my left foot... Give me a break.. 3/30/03

Saddam Hussein

A GONER BUT STILL COULD BE A WINNER IF THE US MEDIA CONTINUE ON ITS TRACK GIVING COMMENTS THROUGH THEIR SO CALLED NON MILITARY EXPERTS ON THE WAR THAT EVERY DICTATOR IS WATCHING.  Matilde Manning

THE AFFAIR TO REMEMBER

WE ARE PART OF WHAT AMERICA IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE

"Whatever you may call it, political or economics, we will be sharing fruits of America's success in ejecting Saddam Hussein from power. We don't have any choice, our subsidized companies are entangled or have ties with U.S. corporations in one way or another. Just 5% of benefit is enough to consider." 3/29/03

Depending US Ambassador Paul Cellucci's speech of bad neighboring that become of us.

Colin Powell

“We now have a coalition of the willing that includes some 30 nations. I hope that they will all be able to do everything that is possible within their means to support the coalition militarily, diplomatically, politically and economically," US Secretary of State Colin Powell (AP) 3/19/03

SO MANY EXPERTS ON THE FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM

"Anyone around the world regardless of religion or nationality becomes fanatic when it comes to thinking that he is being oppressed or discriminated. Solidarity amongst the followers doesn't really exist, it's just the Mid-East conflict that make one give his life to for a cause if there's nothing else could be done." cdb 3/18/03

IN QUEBEC: WHAT THE NON-FRENCH SPEAKING CAN DO

"Electing the PQ without Rene Levesque's respect on equality is a joke.. Whatever happens giving up your right to speak and serviced in English is what it counts.. If they are inspiring for a separate nation they should consider tagging us along with them before 2020, as the number would show by then they will be the minority. For now, the Liberals can do the job of governing us." cdb 3/13/03

THE SYSTEM IS UNDER LABOR UNION CONTROL

“Labor union demands have been long fulfilled; gap on wages is way too far from ordinary group of working people. So, whichever politician say's he can fix this problem must be dreaming. An illiterate garbage collector or bus driver (no pun intended) gets $10,000 a year more compared to an office manager, a university graduate that makes $22,000. The union turned this country into a socialist state. I thought we got rid of the communists?” Jashua 03/11/03

QUEBEC: A SUFFOCATING HOUSE TO LIVE FOR ANGLO AND OTHERS

"Those Anglos and the others should know, no matter what the polls show should elect Jean Charest and his party that promises something to prolong their survival in Quebec.  Martha Hyer, Montreal 3/09/03

THE GST AND JEAN CHRETIEN

"Whenever I see Jean Chretien's faced it reminds me of Mulroney. The only former prime minister who ended up a hundred time multi millionaire after being kicked out of politics... now about Chretien, that, I always see a man with a face of a liar...and that's what he will leave as his legacy...nothing more... Sure, he won the election because he promised he will get rid of the GST. Now, I could say, that's the face of a big time liar. Balancing the budget without the GST... is doable, and if the politicians needs help, I could share my time, Gratis."  Marc Andre Guy 3/15/03

QUEBEC PROVINCIAL ELECTION: LET'S GO HIGH... VOTE BLOC POT PARTY We have been depressed for the past 27 years from both Liberal and Parti Quebecois governments, so why not relax this time and be govern by idiots for real instead of liars, liars and what else, liars." Susie McKnight 3/15/03

CAN WE JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE THIS GIRL IN PEACE?

Elizabeth Smart is back and safe and her kidnapper is arrested; can we leave this poor girl and her family (alone) now before we really screw up her life forever? Let the court handle the problem from this time on. We already know what happened… Let’s not make it worse. 3/14/03

THE U.S. MUST OUST SADDAM HUSSEIN NOW!

"Leadership is not an easy place where one could be, especially the US presidency, but it's not from a bunch of U.N. members that decides what George W. Bush should do. It's what he thinks is the right thing to do. The UN is a watering hole for representatives from independent countries around the world, mostly composed of the most corrupt and vicious, so called educated con artists that waits for any opportunity to suck blood out of anything... wonder how much it cost to out bid the US, to give Hussein more time to play the world with a violin playing in the background. The US should go now! No more time to waste... And, it's not nice for Canada to object... The Americans no matter how arrogant they are ...are still our dear friends and good neighbors and most of all, an ally at all times". 3/12/03
