With inflation at record levels, potholes in every road, a health system cracking at the seams, public school buildings that are mildew laboratoires and repeat ministerial offences under the Ethics Act, Francois Legault has decided that his safest campaign theme for the fall was an old classic: Quebec Pride!
The Duplessis era is called, in many history books, the “Grande Noirceur”: The Great Darkness. It was followed by a flowering of accomplishment known as the Quiet Revolution. An opening up of Quebec after those years of darkness. With Legault, we’ve been watching the premier of La Grande Noirceur, Partie Deux.
Just prior to the last election, in 2018, Legault participated in one of those classic interviews where each party leader is asked the same questions. Legault was candid: separatism in one fell swoop hasn't worked. He was going to take a step-by-step approach and those steps consisted of wresting full control of language, culture and immigration from the federal government.
Former Official Language Commissioner Graham Fraser famously quotes Legault, at his nomination meeting, as telling an activist, about the anglophones, that he hates them “as much as you do.” When, decades ago, Quebec claimed jurisdiction to decide the question of access to English schools, the federal government intervened and charter rights prevailed. The Quebec law was struck down.
They both know that this is a battle that Legault wants with Ottawa. Unfortunately for all of us, Trudeau is so terrified of Legault, that Ottawa is left play acting. Don’t expect to see the same thing we saw after previous attacks on minority language rights: a strong federal government doing its job. Trudeau and Lametti are hiding under their desks.
ThomasMulcair Quebec’s Bill 96 is fascist and intended to torment,denigrate,insult and discriminate the English-Speaking Minority in education,jobs,businesses,health care and longevity. Quebec has a history of fascism before WWII and Vichy France traitors were invited to live in Quebec.
ThomasMulcair He is sleepwalking all of the time … including Quebec!
ThomasMulcair Share this and ask your friends and family to do not vote for this guy
ThomasMulcair Let Quebec become de facto separate state, but stop the 'federal transfer fund' to them. They would not be able to stand on their own very damn long. Legally wants to control everything, but gives nothing back.
ThomasMulcair This is a OPINION piece. Not journalism. Everyone freaking out needs to calm their tits.
ThomasMulcair Love ThomasMulcair he calls it like he sees it. Someone had to say something! I really can’t believe in “cancel culture” francoislegault hasn’t been canceled yet. These bills are egregious. Thank you Tom Mulcair
ThomasMulcair ThomasMulcair 👊🏼😉
ThomasMulcair What it looks like is Quebec is using Trudope as a diversion tool while it sneeks out the back door....
ThomasMulcair Finally.
ThomasMulcair Please separate
ThomasMulcair A well written and very interesting article.
acoyne ThomasMulcair Legault is a political brawler, he knows Ottawa is pretty timid these days.
sherrick399 ThomasMulcair Let them go. The rest of canada has had enough
ThomasMulcair I've noticed.
acoyne ThomasMulcair Wtf?
acoyne ThomasMulcair Appreciate your candid input ThomasMulcair
acoyne ThomasMulcair We need to find a way to carve out Quebec, from the rest of Canada, and float it out into the middle of the Atlantic ... so they don't continue to dominate, or try to dominate our National agenda. Clearly, they don't wish to be an equal partner to the rest of the Country.
acoyne ThomasMulcair How sad for Canada… ThomasMulcair JustinTrudeau could easily refer Bills 96 and 21 to the Supreme Court for a ruling as to their constitutionality but is frozen in fear and won’t act. Lawyers eh.. viraniarif fighting for Canada
ThomasMulcair That's Supreme Leader Trudeau to you.
acoyne ThomasMulcair You said nothing of value, then conveniently blamed PMJT…you are as redundant as the rest of the hating pundits. Go quietly into retirement and bring Rex et Al with you
acoyne ThomasMulcair but this foreign country still gets 10 billion a year in transfer payments for free daycare, university, and better infrastructure while acting like s fox in the henhouse stopping national pipelines snd the energy infrastructure ambitions of our maritime provinces inorout
acoyne ThomasMulcair Agreed. And JustinTrudeau also agreed and is helping him by nominating GG, judge, CRTC boss who are not speaking french. They are aligned...
acoyne ThomasMulcair Alberta, too
ThomasMulcair Not a bad idea
ThomasMulcair Not THIS again! Every time there is a Trudeau in power they bring up the same old stuff.
ThomasMulcair Quebec will go anyway Trudeau is not backing down because he has his seat till 2025 so he dont care
ThomasMulcair Quebec is already a de facto state. They are not part of the constitution they have their own immigration and they have racist language laws. They share talent with the NHL as Canadian. How much more can they go?
ThomasMulcair Cool. Bye bye. 👋 Leave the Canadian dollar and our oil and mineral rights while ya go. Hope the euro treats ya well.
ThomasMulcair I have news for you: since 1995 all Federal parties have let Quebec do what they want, granted them special status and given in to most of their demands. It's time someone puts a stop to it but sadly, in the name of keeping Canada as is, it will never happen.
ThomasMulcair GordJohns theJagmeetSingh Why isn’t JustinTrudeau protecting minority rights? Is he leaving it to the Attorney General? After all francoislegault is reported here as hating anglophones.
ThomasMulcair It’s time for Quebec to leave Canada and wither away.
ThomasMulcair News flash.. it’s been that since it’s treasonous separation bid
ThomasMulcair Make Quebec like Hong Kong two government one nation
ThomasMulcair He's also the only one that has publically come out for the end of the medieval concept of 'Monarchy' for Canada. All three party leaders still drool over them
ThomasMulcair False democracy and freedom
ThomasMulcair And that's a problem?
ThomasMulcair Mr. Bitter says whut?
ThomasMulcair And Alberta. And Saskatchewan. Maybe even Manitoba.
ThomasMulcair He's not wrong. On this file I wish Trudeau was more like his father. He'd be fighting and would have been the whole time.
ThomasMulcair Quebec should be gone from Canada already. They have a federal party with absolutely no tidings other than Quebec. How is that a federal party ?
ThomasMulcair Cons in the west want an independent Alberta Cons in Quebec want an independent Quebec Cons are ripping this country apart
