Leafless

Forget it. I am not a dainty little CR-2, secretary/typist, with minimum computer skills. I do real work. I have a brother- in -law that talks in macho terms, like you, about his computer and relates it to a mechanic who can rebuild an engine. What a crock. LOL

How can you possibly consider what Lord Durham said is insulting, especially in Durham's time, and especially when it is absolutely factual. After the war of 'Plains of Abraham' and the French elite had all returned to France and mostly all that was left in Quebec were farmers and labourers with certain rights given to Quebec from Britain and France gave up all other rights to British North America with the 'Treaty of Paris'. It is Quebec that refuses to admit the truth.

I was making reference to your 1911 edition, which mine is not. I could not care less whether you consider it plagiarizing or not. What are Dancers 'language police', going to do about it? Funny thing, Dancer has nothing to say about Quebec politically plagiarizing Canada.

1911 edition, I don't think so. What I used were historical facts complimenting the achievements of Lord Durham which he badly needs when combating the decision of a 70% Francophone N.C.C. employment rate. It should be remembered that Ottawa the Capital of Canada is the Capital of NINE OTHER PROVINCES whose input whether Lord Durham's portrait should be removed WERE NEVER CONSULTED. Who the hell does N.C.C. think they are representing Quebec political interest ONLY.

Beats me. What I wrote are part of the words used describing Lord Durham achievements in Canada from Encyclopedia Britannica, volume 7, pg. 758. I guess my advice to you is to go and talk to the Queen or one of her historians. You are totally off subject matter and stop your nonsense and address the subject matter of this thread.

Instructions from Dancer how to download a PDF file.

The following quote is not from the Bulletin and you can find that link earlier in this thread. Reference was made by this PQ cabinet minister that Quebec is a welfare state. OK.

It was not included as it is a PDF file from Statistics of Canada and Quebec-QELAWebSite with no URL.

You mean 'where are the other state papers'. In Britain, you know the country that won the 'Plains of Abraham' battle for Canada and gave us GAVE US the BNA Act, which forms the major part of our constitution. The other part (amendment) of our Canadian constitution, the 'Charter' inspired and created by Quebec politicians and unfortunately ratified by inept provincial politicians (all but Quebec, who did not sign) and who could have no idea at the time what they were actually signing due to the discriminatory and undemocratic and dictatorial actions that have evolved under that 'Charter since it's ratification.

Certainly seems like an inspiring thing to do. But poor Lord Durham's portrait was removed because of Francophone objections that: http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...f3-fa4f152a18f4 The point is Lord Durham was a very important English statesman who gave his name to the famous 'Report on the Affairs of British North America. This report, one of the greatest state papers in the English language, laid down the principles, then unrecognized, which have guided British colonial policy ever since. Perhaps Lord Durham's assessment of Quebec was correct and the French in Quebec had were basically left overs from the 'Battle of the Plains of Abraham' and could not linguistically evolve by themselves. I think Lord Durham's portrait should definitely be put back with the other portraits as a reminder of a great man who helped shape Canada. Francophone's should be reminded the portraits are hung in Ottawa, Ontario, Capital of Canada and NOT Quebec where everything associated with English history has been torn down or removed including the English language. Do you think Lord Durham's portrait should be put back with the others?

Simplistic B.S. mean nothing, guyser math digging up percentages to add up to 42%. Why don't you do some real digging and tell us what the actual welfare rate is in Quebec? Here is some handy info: Statistics for Quebec o I in 5 Quebecers have difficulty reading and have few basic skills or strategies for decoding and working with a text (Level 1) o 49% of Quebecers aged 16-65 do not have the “desired” level of competency to function easily in today’s society (Levels 1 and 2) o Almost 800,000 adult Quebecers aged fifteen to sixty-four have less than a grade nine education o Adult Quebecers at levels 1, 2 and even 3 could have significant difficulties with much of the written information and many of the new technologies that they encounter at work and in everyday situations o The number of adults attending literacy classes in Quebec is far smaller than the number of adults who actually need these services Your French and you don't know the 'Bulletin' is located in Gallery de Aylmer' in Gatineau.

The facts are Quebec is a welfare state: http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/ind...s=M1ARTM0013047

I think Musharraf is doing the right thing also, under the circumstances.

If there is anyone inaccurate it is you and speculating August...your both full of it, unless you provide proof of what you are saying is accurate pertaining to the article. Pick up a copy of the 'Bulletin', Wed. Oct. 24/2007, page 16, article title--'New political party defends Anglos & minorities and TELL ME WHERE EXACTLY WHAT LEAFLESS SAID IS INNACCURATE. The only person that can verify what exactly "with 42% of Quebecers non-tax paying residents" means, is Allen Nutik of the leader of the new provincial party 'Affiliation Quebec'. Contact this gentleman or the 'Bulletin' for your inquires rather than label Leafless "inaccurate' or that Leafless is full of it". I am waiting for your apology.

What choice does Pakistan have but to play the games of Western powers. Either that or possibly complete annihilation at some point. Europe divided and conquered the Islamic world.

Since you said so much about your personal life, one would be hard pressed to separate Dancer's truth from fiction tales. You said: So much then for Quebec and their 'Official French Language', obviously more lying crapolla from La Belle Province.

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingn...p-4672676c.html I think Jack Layton's propoal makes sense and he is on to something. But would all ten provinces agree to it. As it is now: http://www.filibustercartoons.com/canguide...lmnt_senate.php

Class tells all about you...living in a separatist province. Whats the matter, can't cut the mustard in English Canada? The only convictions I have is a single speeding conviction, stemming from about 20 yrs. ago.

By 2001 50% of of mother-tongue anglophones had left the province. I guess your family preferred to be discriminated upon and treated like second or third class citizens. Good show, Dancer. I am unlike you, everything to everybody, a man without class or standards or convictions.

How do you figure it is a free pass? Just because Canada recognizes and supports separatists, ideologies, lifestyles, welfare, and their province does not mean other countries have to be as stupid. In Tibet Buddhism is a major tourist attraction. Don't let the Lama's spirituality fool you.

Don't be a fool. It is what U.S. and Canadian companies want and that is the lowest price manufactured product available from China. Poisonous toys, food and cheap crap, produces the highest profit margin for American and Canadian companies. If U.S. and Canadian companies had any ethics and sense of responsibility they would supply Chinese manufacturing companies with minimum acceptable standards and specifications for the products China churns out that are imported to Canada and the U.S. In turn these products would have to be inspected by Canadian government agencies to verify these products are safe and durable prior to going on sale at Canadian retail stores.

I hope he does. A commentary at the end of the article I posted is one I kind of agree with. It's one huge problem to contend with.

Even if you are English and bilingual, forget most job opportunities in Quebec if your last name is English.

The last federal election only 5% of Canadians believe Deputy Prime Minister and new Minister of Finance, John Manley would make the best leader of the federal Liberal Party. Dion was picked by Mr. Chretien because he had the most federal experience. In the final hours of voting, however, Ignatieff backers rushed to circulate a recent Carleton University poll that said 42 per cent of Quebecers felt Ignatieff would make the best prime minister, compared to 17 per cent for Dion. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/features...9d-5f433b5e9751 I think Michael Ignatieff would be in the cards to-day as new Liberal leader in the event Dion is ditched and don't think Mr. Chretien's book had nothing to do with what you are talking about.

Not in Chretiens book. Dion is a citizen of France and seemingly the one most qualified to defend Francophone concerns. Dion even reads his speeches in the same manner as Chretien sounding neither French nor English, but rather of some unknown foreign nationality.
