What would St-Jean do?
Funny story, at the end of the parade a group of Aboriginals from USA came to speak to the St-Jean paraders(the theme was aboriginal), funny thing was they didn’t speak French so they spoke in English and got booed off the stage, this did not make the news, I have this on tape....Here were the guests of honor getting booed cause they did not talk French.
Why should Canada separate from Quebec
How much of its trade is "foreign" (i.e., out or province)?
How many bilinguals have they?

The Gerald Tremblay Record
- runs a sleazy administration; 6 criminal probes in as many months
- has seen services (sidewalk de-icing) run down
- tried to change the name of Park Avenue to Robert Bourassa without consultation
- runs most things from City Hall in camera
- rigged the Agglom Council in his favor by handpicking the members
Franco sovereignists
There is now egg on their faces but don't think for a moment that they have learned a lesson. This is but one simple victory for common sense in a long-standing kerfuffle rife with insanity.
franco artistes
The outpouring of shame, followed by outrage, ridicule and then acceptance of the anglos was heart-warming. The language zealots looked downright silly and some backtracked as fast as they could when they realised that other proud nationalist artists publicly disagreed with their myopic stance.
"A hootenanny in any language"
Quebec culture minister Christine St. Pierre said this demonstrates that “there are people that are very intolerant and would prefer that we live in some sort of bubble.”

Franco press
More often than not, slights against anglos go woefully unnoticed in Quebec's French media. A front-page humiliation in the English press, if we are allowed to use that term, might make a page-seven brief in La Presse. Or page 21 in Le Journal de Montréal — if at all.

Is the Bloc loss a sign of things to come in Quebec?
"The province of Quebec has no opinions, it has only sentiments," said Sir Wilfrid Laurier at the turn of the last century.
Now it has mood swings, like an adolescent with ADHD. Only four years after impulsively swinging to the right with Action democratique du Quebec in the 2007 provincial election, it has swung just as hard to the left with the New Democrats.
