Your post reeks of extremism which oddly enough is the very thing that you are condemning the evil separatists of doing... I know I'm probably banging my head against a wall of ignorance but what the hell... Here's one example:
Are you serious? That's one of the stupidest things I ever heard. You rant that you don't want your kids to be indoctrinated by the revisionist history of the evil separatists and you just turn around and offer revisionist history of your own...
Are you familiar with good old Lord Durham who said that French Canadians and no history, no culture and were "inferior":
And this prevailing notion that French Canadians were inferior and second class citizens wasn't just a historical glitch of the early 19th century. In fact you don't have to look that far back to find the same attitudes. Heck just 50 years ago it was almost impossible for a french canadian to climb the ladder and access the top echelon jobs in companies. Not to mention people being told to "speak white" when they dared speak french in stores like Simpsons or Eatons... And this has nothing to do with priests, farms, cows or making babies.
And for the record, I'm no separatist and I think that extremists like Pierre Falardeau are funny but completely out of touch with reality. But damn dude stop spewing that nonsense.
All this post proves is that you are clueless. There is nothing extermist in my post. I don't call for any action or revolt nor do I condemn anyone. All I said was I don't like seperatists and gave some things I don't like and some personal opinions. As for my comment on the church it was not to say that the english did nothing I just said the church had a huge impact that is always ignored. And to prove it why do you think this is the list religious province in canada when it used to be the most. The backlash wasn't just against the english. And are you seriously bringing up Lord Durham? That is laughable. You are like a woman when she remembers when you came home drunk 17 years ago when you hadn't done it since.
And anyway the fact that the french could not get into business had more factors than just their being french. Even today business is done between friends and if the business at the time was controlled by the english of course it would remain that way since people always do business amongst themselves. Ever heard of china town, try being white and open a store there. Does it make them wrong? No it is human nature to trust your own.
And B_Cup you are deranged if you think a population or 4-5 million people surrounded by 400 million english speaking people, and having 0 buying power and getting screwed in every trade deal cause you so small, can afford to keep being french. Good Luck I wish you well.
And Wilko you are too much. I said in my post that I speak french perfectly. So say sorry twice if I couldn't understand shows how long you can keep a thought in your head. But I won't go there I will keep it clean. 35% serperatist number is pure crap, all numbers can be played with so they are meaningless. That poll could have asked anything. I have seen polls say that there are only 10% real seperatists. And please stop explaining that this book is priovate and not in schools. I KNOW. I took it as an acedemic WHAT IF argument as I am sure it was meant to be. And it is funny how people point to Gomery as a federalist weakness and corruption when it was all the liberals and their business friends here in Quebec. Like I mentioned before business is always between friends and all governements have waste and corruption so pointing to one and saying how wrong it is is pure bullshit cause anyone would do the same if in that position. It is the old throwing stones when you live in a glass house argument.
And it is funny how Canada is so against QUebec when before our current prime minister the last english one (and i mean for more than 2-3 months) was in the 60s. Hmmmmmmmm, man we hate quebec, so lets give one of them the most important position in our country.
And how did you get on burning people and books????????
Last post on this so do you worst and compare me with hitler or some other extremist I don't care.
But you probably don't know that french people had to 'speak white' before.... It's a historical debate each side have their arguments and we need to respect it... maybe its worth to watch the movie: '15 février 1839' to understand couple points of separatists... I don't mean all of their points.
