Premier Jean Charest has rejected Parti Qu�b�cois leader Pauline Marois's call for him to apologize for "politicizing" an event next weekend meant to remember the history of francophones in Canada.
If they stop teaching every francophone kid in their revisionist history classes that they should be really pissed about it, maybe they will eventyully get over it. Until then not likely.
"Guy_Fawkes" said I think the rest of the country should make a point of teaching children how the French lost the war.
Actually my history teacher did just that. He's a retired army captain as well, although he still does a LOT of stuff with Veteran's Affairs. Cpt Ellis Landale is a good man and the best damn teacher a person could have. He was great at teaching Canadian history especially. I still remember the time he described the battle. Great visualizations but some of his portrayals were rather amusing.
Yes it is time to get the Quebec thing settled as it has gone on way to long for the country's good . Enough is enough people talk about the Indians they cost no where near as much.
So M.Charest once again stands up to the separatists and you get pissed. Lets get somethings straight here for once eh. I understand that if it isn't tory is shouldn't live, but there are others who think the other way round. And Penetrator, I do not support the separatists. I am a liberal! I work for the liberal party and I vote liberal both provincially and federally. I put the bloc avatar on here to bug someone who is no longer a member. I don't know how to remove it, if anyone can tell me how, I will remove it. I think its great that you non Qu�becers know so much about the culture, education system, political system and economy of Qu�bec. Bodah, I went to school in Qu�bec and was never told I should be pissed about the Battle of the Plains. I was however aware of the English domination and discrimination faced by french people in Qu�bec. I was aware that my mother could not get a job in Montr�al because her English was poor. I was aware that my uncles who worked in the paper mills were never promoted or advanced because they were french. I was aware of the domination by the Catholic Church and the corrupt government of Duplessis. I was aware that french kids were not being educated about their own culture and history. Hence the Quiet Revolution. Now we are Maitres chez nous. The separatist movement is dead, Vive le Qu�bec,Vive le Canada!
What an idiotic moron. In the States they have civil war reenactments all over the place all the time and those battles were more recent that the plains. The Premier just has his head up and locked.
"ridenrain" said I'm going to dial back the rhetoric and simply say that the leadership of Quebec is sending confusing, mixed messages.
Agreed.
I tried reading through the report.... top to bottom, and all I got from the whole thing is "Blah blah blah, finger up me arse with a twist, Blah blah blah."
The politicians in Quebec remind me of someone suffering from blue ball... all pent up, pissed off and have no idea what to do with themselves so they throw sh*t around, make a big stink over nothing, when they simply could have easily wanked themselves off in a corner and left us all well enough alone.
added:
Oh yeah.... I's be back now. Everybody remain calm and continue shaking your heads and facepalming.
Again Kenmore, why do you support them?
U lost, u lost, so stfu, it's getting so fukn annoying, anyways, im getting da fuck out of this province in no more than 4 years, im sick of em

At first, it was supposed to be a neutral event, just a cultural and artistic thing.
But at the end, fuckin' Pauline Marois, Parti Quebecois leader went out there and did a speech on separatism. What the hell.
I'm really critic on the Libs, but Charest and co. gained my respect on this one.
