Quebec Exposed

Let me explain the problem with Canada's productivity. First, Quebec has one of the largest population bases in Canada, second only to Ontario. It should be highly productive, yet, during the most two productive months of the summer Quebec's entire labour work force takes two weeks' summer vacation, and all at the same time. During this time literally millions of dollars of rented equipment sits idle on the construction sites. That is an example of extremely poor productivity. Yet, next year Quebec will come calling to English Canada with its hands out demanding billions of dollars more in equalization payments to support its unproductive economy and its outrageous unaffordable social programs. That is yet another example of an unproductive nation. The feds should tell Quebec to take a hike until it gets its affairs in order. Now, for more examples of an unproductive Canada...I have travelled and lived and worked in many nations. Almost every country I have been to, including the USA, has mail delivery on Saturday. The construction workers work on Saturday, especially during those all important summer months in the north of the USA during the summer. What about Canada???? Need I respond. The Canadian, especially Ontario teachers, are the highest paid teachers in the world. Yet they work the fewest hours in the industrialized world. I know because I am one and I am working here right now in the USA. I would never work in Ontario with Ontario's spoiled overpayed UNPRODUCTIVE teachers. I make only 2/3 of what an Ontario teacher makes and I work many more hours than they do. I have to supervise buses, lunches, recesses, etc with my students. Are these enough examples of an unproductive Canada or do you need more? First and foremost, I would cut Quebec off financially. That would go a long way to solving the problem in Canada, because Quebec, the welfare state, is milking Canada dry. But do we have any federal politicians with the guts to cut Quebec off? Nope, because Quebecor controls much of Ontario's small town press (largest voting base) and Quebecers hold most of Canada's key government jobs in Ottawa. The best thing Canadians can hope for is to give someone outside Quebec a federal majority and some clout. Harper has to pander to Quebec every day of the week. Maybe, if given a majority by English Canada, he might do something else rather than rely on the Bloc to prop up his government. And as for Dion...I'm not even going to talk about that citizen of Quebec and France. So, to conclude, getting Quebec under control will help solve the productivity problem in Canada. Getting some of the unproductive labour force, such as Ontario's teachers, would also help. But Quebec is by far the biggest problem.

Higgley, have you bothered for a moment to consider that this is a top down problem starting at the federal level? I am Ontario born and raised, and I moved into Quebec for a while. It was only after living in Quebec that I realized I had to do a lot of research about Canada's financial picture, because something smelled rotten about Quebec. What I discovered is that Quebec is getting far more than its per capita share of the federal funds. Ontario is an incrediblywealthy state, it puts in about half of all taxes going into federal coffers each year...around 100+ billion. Yet Ontario gets only around 30 billion back of that 100+ billion for funding of its own programs. The federal government collects, by comparison, only about 50+ billion each year in federal revenues from Quebec....Yet Quebec, with a significantly SMALLER population than Ontario, is now getting around 60 billion back in funding for its programs. That's twice as much as Ontario gets, and way more than Quebec puts into the federation. This means that Quebec is a welfare state. It also means that Quebec is using Ontario's money to fund ambitious social programs which Ontarians cannot afford because they have to fund Quebec. These programs include dirt cheap day care and dirt cheap tuition fees to students from Quebec and other French speaking countries like France. But, even though English Canada is funding these ambitious social programs like dirt cheap tuition fees in Quebec, our own students from English Canada have to pay three times as much money in tuition than the students from FRANCE to go to a university like McGill. My conclusion, Higgley, is that you need to do a whole lot more research. I suggest you study the Tranfer Payments Section of the federal financial statements where you will see that far too much of the federation's (especially Ontario's) money is going to Quebec and to French interests. Very little is coming back to Ontario or English Canada in general.

There is even more hate material coming out of Quebec....videos posted on youtube.... I have posted about this video on the forum, but please see the link below as well. This is a link to the youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lnHQ6YJCyA And here is the original link to the file with the terrible images of the Quebec history book in case you haven't seen it yet. http://quebecexposed.tripod.com/fleurdelise.pdf After you have seen the video, go to my posting about the youtube video and take the poll.

I do not agree that this type of material should be ignored. It seems that Canadians are obsessed with Bush and Iraq and everything the Americans do wrong, and yet they want to ignore some pretty bad stuff that is going on in their own country. The Canadian media is especially guilty off either ignoring the terrible stuff going on in Quebec, or indeed, promoting it. In any event, here is a link to another file which contains terrible images from a Quebec history book and a lot of disturbing information. How long can English Canada ignore this? And why does English Canada keep forking over billiions to Quebec every year with no strings attached to it? http://quebecexposed.tripod.com/fleurdelise.pdf

Watch the whole video. In my opinion, the video was only made to look like it was produced by an amateur. In reality, there were probably a lot of people involved, and some expertise. I wonder who funds this crap. Is this what Quebec does with those billions of dollars in equalization bucks it extorts out of Canada every year?

I don't know how many of you have seen this file, but if you want to see just how racist the Quebecers can be then go to this link: http://quebecexposed.tripod.com/fleurdelise.pdf and look at the images from a truly shocking history book that was discovered by English parents in a Quebec school. The file is 10 pages long. The images start out dissing the natives, but scan down and you will see some pretty terrible images of where they diss the English in a very schocking way. Many people who have seen this book say that it is hate literature. And this was being taught to KIDS in Quebec.

What's new about this? I can tell you the history of Quebec from Quebec textbooks as one Quebecker described it to me: "The French and the natives lived happily together. Then the English came, started deporting the French and killing the natives. They reduced the French-speaking population of Quebec to slaves. They are the root of all problems in Quebec." In her opinion, the school textbooks are what teaches/brainwashes Quebeckers to hate the Anglophones. For most Quebeckers, it's all about the Francophones vs the Anglophones. They are so stuck in the past, they don't even realize that a third of those "Anglophones" are Italian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Vietnamese and so on. And they are convinced that those evil Anglophones have to pay for what they've done to Quebeckers. It doesn't matter it was many generations ago and that a small chunk the "Anglophones" today are even related to the Anglophones of those days. It's just those damned "Anglophones"....grrr I was hoping to get more input from people about whether they were aware just how bad the books are. And furthermore, I would like to know whether people know that our tax dollars are funding these companies in Quebec who are putting out this trash? Guerin gets hundreds of thousands in grants every year.

Your input regarding the file is appreciated. The file has images from a terrible history book. You have all heard about these books, but have you seen them?....not for the weak hearted. http://quebecexposed.tripod.com/fleurdelise.pdf UPDATE: There is even more hate material coming out of Quebec....videos posted on youtube.... I have posted about this video on the forum, but please see the link below as well. This is a link to the youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lnHQ6YJCyA After you have seen the video, go to my posting about the video and complete the poll. By the way, with hate material like this coming out of Quebec, how can anyone in English Canada possibly consider voting for any more leaders from that place, especially Dion, citizen of France.
