Hey
did you hear? We have two new Saints from Quebec, no, it's not Lucien
Bouchard or Jacques

for The Great Rene Levesque, he should have been sainted a long time ago by

Time
for a history lesson on Quebec
April 22nd,
2015
- It is not
even an election year, but the leadership contest in the Parti Québécois has
produced some strident rhetoric and strange outbursts. Particularly from
Pierre Karl Péladeau. We take the liberty this week to offer some history and
perspective to the prospective candidates. Over the past weeks M. Péladeau
has yelled “En français” at a Francophone band singing an English song;
apologized for anti-immigrant remarks that made him sound like a repeat of
Jacques Parizeau in 1995 with his “ethnics and money” comment and just
last week suggested that corporations should perhaps be fined if they
participated in anti-indépendentiste activity. Shades of Maurice Duplessis
and the padlock law. One wonders if M. Péladeau would do the same to
pro-sovereignty unions who have been so active. But then they are not happy
with him after his numerous lockouts.
Quebec
has permitted
the perpetuation of the big lie through generations of political leaders who
have exploited it for electoral gain and greater provincial power regardless
of what party they came from. They have all used the philosophy of “divide
and conquer”, creating a francophone majority riddled by self-doubt driven
by jealousy of others’ self-belief. The philosopher George Santayana once
wrote that “those who forget the mistakes of the past are condemned to
repeat them.” In
Quebec
one can easily
say that “those who perpetuate lies about the past are condemned to be
imprisoned by them.” And that is at the heart of the
Quebec
malaise. The
philosopher George Santayana once wrote that “those who forget the mistakes
of the past are condemned to repeat them.” In
Quebec
one can easily
say that “those who perpetuate lies about the past are condemned to be
imprisoned by them.” And that is at the heart of the
Quebec
malaise. It is
a society that has permitted the perpetuation of the big lie through
generations of political leaders who have exploited it for electoral gain and
greater provincial power regardless of what party they came from. They have
all used the philosophy of “divide and conquer”, creating a francophone
majority riddled by self-doubt driven by jealousy of others’ self-belief.
The heart of the lie that the Parti Québécois keeps perpetuating is that
some great injustice was done to a “native” francophone people in their
“terre natale” — their native land — by the English who conquered
Quebec
in 1763 and
supposedly kept the French under their heel. The reality is that the French
came here as imperialists for the King of France and conquered the true native
people, the aboriginals. The English came and the French and aboriginals and
gave a third of this land to the
Hudson
’s Bay
Company. And what was the francophone power that signed the Concordat of 1763
that basically said to the English, “You take commerce. Give us our people
to educate and we’ll keep most of them down on the farms?” The very same
French Catholic clergy that every francophone leader in Quebec since Lesage
once denounced, yet whose “traditions” are today protected to the point
that one would be hard-pressed to find a politician agreeing to have the
crucifix from the National Assembly removed even while they proclaim the need
for laity and accommodation in our public life. Arguments for
Quebec
sovereignty,
or the cultural supremacy of francophones based on nativist claims, have no
moral foundation in the history of this province. Yet no political leader has
spoken these hard truths to Quebecers in a very long time. It has left this
province at the mercy of demagogues who have made this rich jurisdiction
non-competitive in the North American reality and made so many of its citizens
constantly on the lookout for someone, or some group, to blame for their own
failings.
Quebec
has a very
real progressive political patrimony running through its history. A patrimony
that began with Louis-Joseph Papineau’s emancipation of all minorities in
1837, 20 years before Britain; continued through Louis-Hippolyte
Lafontaine’s experiments in responsible government in 1856 that were the
first in the British Empire; went on to Cartier’s internationalist and
inclusive vision that made Confederation possible; Laurier’s policies
of a just and lay society at the turn of the 20th century; Jean Marchand’s
heroic struggles against Duplessis and Jean Lesage’s “Révolution
tranquille” that produced arguably the finest cabinet in modern times. This
history is what makes
Quebec
distinct.
Distinctiveness does not rise from some perceived injustice to “native”
francophones. Not on some misplaced fidelity to “sang et langue” – blood
and language. And certainly not out of the fear-mongering of extremists who
see cabals of “ethnics” around every corner that they consider have no
right to a say in
Quebec
’s future.
Let those competing for leadership in
Quebec
remember the
words of the late Sen. Jacques Hébert that, “The real two solitudes are not
between anglophones and francophones. The real two solitudes are between the
half of Francophones who are the heirs of an unmatched progressive political
patrimony, and the other half who still practice the politics of “La grande
noirceur.” M. Péladeau and his cohorts will have to decide which side of
history they will choose to be remembered for.
Look what
France
is
saying
"Must
drop ineffective' blockade against English language"
France should
end its blockade of the English language, since its "generous"
contributions have enriched rather than endangered French, according to
France
's culture
minister. Fleur Pellerin warned purists bent on defending the French language
that the struggle was counterproductive. "The French language is not
frozen. A language is always evolving," said Ms Pellerin, a digital
economy expert born in
South Korea
and a fluent
English and German speaker. "Some languages – like English today, or
Italian in the past – have been particularly generous in offering hundreds
of new words to French," she said. Speaking ahead of the annual French
Language and Francophonie Week, Ms Pellerin said: "French is not in
danger and my responsibility as minister is not to erect ineffective barriers
against languages, but to give all our citizens the means to make it live
on."
France
's 1994 Toubon
law decreed that all public advertising must be in French. Public services are
expected to replace English
words that creep into the language – in particular for new
technologies – with French terms. The language is protected by laws guarded
by academics known as "immortals" at the Académie
Française, founded in 1635 by Cardinal Richelieu, chief minister to
King Louis XIII - France 's

Montreal's
economy: what's wrong, and what can be done about it?
How to solve? First, look what previous elected
politicians from city, provincial and federal did, they all together added
cost of production to go sky high, tax after tax and tax over tax, from
energy, consumer, real estate, plus driving out (of the province) capitals and
talents with the introduction of the language law (Bill 101) precipitated by
the enacted law passed (Bill 22) by then Quebec Premier Robert
Bourassa, (that's the) reason why we are in dire need of economic
reconstruction. Solution? Send e-mail to traderspoint@sympatico.ca

Question: Is there any chance for
Quebec
to become a republic?
Answer: Not
in this century; the separatists have to work harder for the next one. 50%

Canada

Montreal
is a French island in a predominantly English-speaking
country
It's
known as La Main - "The Main" - and it's the lifeblood of
Montreal
. For the past
three centuries this sweeping avenue, Boulevard St Laurent, has shaped the
character of a city in the heart of French-speaking
Canada
. La
Main
was once the
symbolic dividing line between the city's French and English speaking
communities, with the boulevard a soft buffer attracting and absorbing waves
of new immigrants. Today, it celebrates a cosmopolitan city with its array of
little villages, from the Quartier Chinois, or Chinese quarter, to Little
Italy and
Portugal
, along with
strong remnants of an historic Jewish quarter.

Got a second?
1.
Integrity and reliability are the most important quality that a
public employee especially that of a politician should maintain otherwise the
institution gets corrupted. 2. Poor immigrants are the greatest
investment a country like
Canada
should bring
in for they are motivated by dreams that money immigrants already have. We
brought (in) lots of those money immigrants in the 80s from
Hong Kong
and
surrounding areas, most settled in BC, did they bring their money to
Canada
? No, they
fried us with our own oil and most of the locals moved to nearby towns where
the cost of living is much lower than where those so called investors settled
in. But, where are those people now? They are back where they came from
with our passports. Would you want to know more and why? Conrad

Oh
Canada
: How I Love You
The
tour was to only last one hour. While the other educator and I waited for
their arrival we decided we would not visit the Canadian galleries, since they
were in another pavilion at the other end of the museum. We would choose the
European Art collection to save time. They arrived twenty minutes late. My
group had three mothers with eight children between the ages of two months and
nine years old. Two Muslim mothers dressed in hijab and long over-... Quickly
it was decided, even though time was limited, that we had to go visit the
Canadian galleries. We showed the paintings, sculptures and objects from the
Inuit, First Nations along with the first settlers from
France
and
England
.
The children were mesmerized, listening to the legends and stories of the
Canadian people. The mothers asked many insightful questions. As we toured
from one gallery to the next, the mother from
Benin
began
unapologetically to nurse her son. She didn’t ask for help or lag behind.
She did what came naturally and continued to be an active participant. And the
two other mothers? They held the infant’s head as she went to adjust her top
and looked after her other child. Mothers from different parts of the world,
nurturing, protecting and caring for one another. I witnessed the actions of a
community. Being an Art Educator at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts affords
me the opportunity to meet and interact with many people from all walks of
life. I am very fortunate to live in a country where all people have equal
rights and are valued for their uniqueness. Ennutsiak Nunavik 1896 – Iqaluit,
