Johnson: Rectifying the misrepresentation of Alliance Quebec

http://www.thesuburban.com/opinion/op_ed/rectifying-the-misrepresentation-of-alliance-quebec/article_e15688a2-3fb8-5cbe-8ab3-db6c33b9bcc9.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=user-share&fbclid=IwAR2w-UHv9iHvOxJMHqY0vy3fmSKy4T7F8OIPH2o16K0JqeNUD5jW68GCI00

Once again, the English-speaking people of Quebec are divided on how to defend their vital interests against aggressive restrictive nationalism. Eight organizations, former members of the Quebec Community Groups Network, recently signed an open letter explaining “Why we left QCGN.”

I’ll not express an opinion on the validity of their disagreement with the QCGN. But I do want to correct the historical record about this statement from their open letter:

The QCGN was founded nearly 25 years ago, in part to fill a void left by Alliance Quebec (AQ), which, as the largest and most prominent organization representing English-speaking communities at the time, had lost the confidence of its members.
