Your grandfather should never have reproduced. |

|  sollune | Mar 13, 6:29am | maybe this (#100) goes to illustrate to PP why we act the way we act. this guy's attitude is unfortunately all too frequent in Canada... they do tend to keep a low profile though.
on a more uplifting note, I recently saw a text from an anglophone that actually understands [some of] the situation here. since this is a very rare event, I think it's very much worth passing along:
What the hell is Quebec's problem anyway?
Every time Quebec is mentioned in the news, since I can remember, it has been about something to do with the separatists movement. I remember the referendums in the 1980 and 1995, especially 1995 because I was shocked that the sides were divided by less than a tenth of a percent.
Fresh out of university, I didn't really know what the whole fuss was about, but I had seen the prejudice that francophones in English Canada suffered, and since Quebec was, for me, French Canada, I believed that they probably had reason to want change.
So what is the problem? Well for one, quebecers have a unique and distinct culture... at least the older generation does. And that in itself is a problem. With the Internet, 20% French content on TV, and a flood of translated American movies and videos games. The younger generation is inundated daily with English culture and music, both visual and auditory, through passive and interactive mediums, so much that more and more are becoming bilingual counterparts to their Anglophone neighbours.
No big deal right? ...Wrong! What is happening is nothing less than cultural genocide, and this is what the French are so damn mad about. They want to avoid the same loses that the Natives and Newfies have suffered, the poverty, the displacement and the resulting problems with drugs, alcohol abuse, and suicide. Are they to become a minority whose only cultural distinction, is to parade around in traditional stereotypical costumes, sing old songs and sell maple syrup at the heritage foundation's annual tourist event?
Their struggle is very real. Too many have already been lost. Marriages/unions between Anglos and french speakers, usually within a generation or two result in families that no longer speak french. It isn't about money, as the sponsorship scandal would have us believe, only the government fat cats profited there. It's about subjugation of a people who never identified with the english monarchy. It's about making formal education mandatory, then inadequate. It's about keeping the power base english and the french work force dependent on them. And finally, it's about causing dissent among the people so that the generation gap widens, so that they turn against each other and never gain power, so that the province is always under scrutiny for not just accepting the status quo and abandoning ancient ideologies.
The Canadian government has another tactic to increase the assimilation. Francophone immigrants must have some knowledge of english (NO the reverse is NOT mandatory!) The pretense is that Canada is a bilingual country and small francophone communities need more French people. But these minority populations have very limited access to french services, so the immigrant is forever a minority in an Anglophone community. Not ony can minority concessions disappear without warning but with every Francophone that is located outside of Quebec; Canada can "justifiably" slide an Anglophone or allophone immigrant into Quebec. Thereby reducing the majority francophone population, and its political punch. What's more Quebec doesn't have the facilities or the federal funding to educate these new immigrants in french, so they never learn the language and Canada becomes more and more like the US. Dirty politics!
As multicultural Canadians, we should not be critical of Quebecers over their desire to be different, but look at ourselves in search of our individual essence. And should we find even a drop of French blood, we should be proud of our heritage, proud how despite huge opposition the Quebecois have continued to fight to preserve their language, culture and territory. And should we find even a drop of native blood, we should take a hard look at the competitive Anglo culture versus the co-operative native cultures and ask ourselves weither we want to fight and push our way to success or if we prefer to build our future community by community. And each and every immigrant, or child of an immigrant that has ever been played in Canada's dirty politics should take a new look at the reality of this "great bilingual nation". Then, we can all understand, for what Quebec is fighting.
and all of this becomes even more pertinent in the light of the plan to merge North America...
101: ces gens existent, on ne peut rien y faire sauf en prendre pleinement conscience. on a pas juste affaire à une élite hostile, mais à des millions de drônes qui refusent de réfléchir. |

(Since I don't want idiot boy to be left out)
You deserve to be thrown in an NWO concentration camp. But since you like to suck up to them so much you're gonna love it. |

They are all uniting. Big Business is Big Business. There is no people oriented political party anywhere in North America with any real power!!
Unifying cultures is not necessarily a bad thing as long as the one that evolves from this has brought together all the good from each of them. All cultures have both their negative and positive aspects.
I lost nothing from integrating into Quebcois culture and am am richer as a result (that what I see as negative, I just ignore)Likewise for what I have taken from the Americans :-)) Mexico, so far I am not touched by (I think, anyway) |

it's an illusion - such a thing as "unifying cultures" is not possible. you can harmonize two cultures, like two trees in a garden, but they can never become one, because roots will remain separate. persisting in this illusion will lead to the death of one culture (ours, in this case). |

| | PassionatePuppy | Mar 15, 6:11pm | | 104-Being a Heinz 57 mix here it is sometimes hard for me to feel as you do. But I do understand. I guess my "raison d'être" is just different from yours. My worries about the NAU are more based in what the NWO elite will do to us and less in what integrated cultures will do. |

| | sollune | Mar 16, 5:48am | | it's funny you should use that particular expression, Heinz 57, because it's in itself meaningless, just a number chosen for marketing purposes. if you're worried about what they will do to you, I suggest to start opening your mind to what's already been done. there is more brainwashing out there than you may realise, and stuffing minds with brand names to the point that they come up randomly in conversations like this is certainly part of it. |
