guyser Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 The following quote is not from the Bulletin and you can find that link earlier in this thread.QUOTE In June 2002, Joseph Facal, a bright young Parti Québécois cabinet minister, risked losing his job by saying his party might provoke a middle-class backlash because it couldn't get over its infatuation with an ever-more-cumbersome welfare state. "Forty-four per cent of Quebecers don't pay tax," Facal said. "Imagine the pressure on the rest." Reference was made by this PQ cabinet minister that Quebec is a welfare state. OK. No , only you are referencing that as welfare. It was a literacy link. Literacy does not = welfare. The 'Bulletin' can be reached on line: www.bulletinaylmer.com I didn't notice that initially as I am not a regular reader of that small local paper. Have fun. I did. Couldnt find it. I did have fun . No link for your assertion then? OKay. Just wanted to be sure. Quote

You sound as screwed up as the guy who said this from the same link: You could be nationalist and Liberal at the same time," said Patrick Robitaille, a young Liberal who worked alongside Dumont and is now the ADQ's director general.

Fact is it doesn't matter if you think anyone else's job is easier because, 1, your wrong, and 2, every job has a purpose. I could stereotype and say that because you have a "real" job, you were probably not smart enough to do anything else, but that would just be idiotic. Quote

Argus Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 What's nonsense? That anglos are leaving becasue of descrimination? I agree. A lot of anglos have left and will leave....and they leave for exactly the same reasons why people leave manitoba or New Brunswick 0or any province....for opportunity. There is a difference between leaving New Brunswick because there are no jobs and leaving Quebec because the French bigots won't hire you. There may even be anti anglo feelings ....big deal. This is a guy who rails against anyone who so much at hints at some kind of anti-French feeling - even if the guy is two hundred years dead from another era. Anglos on the whole are well educated and well insulated from the prejudices of habitants.....I will agree though that active darwinism is in place there......those too stupid or too stubborn to acquire a second language find themselves either in the lowest social strata in Quebec or they leave and become manual labourers out west..... Or start up high tech companies out west, or in Ottawa. The darwinism is among Francophones whose province, despite every geographical and economic advantage continues to lag far behind its neighbour because entrepreneurs, small businessmen and major corporations don't want to deal with the fetish of French nationalism which passes for culture there, with the difficulty in attracting bright, educated staff who don't want to live in a backward province where their kids can't be schooled in English, or with the problems of dealing with the numerous Quebecois pressure groups (ie, racist groups) which infest Quebec's society. Quebec is probably the only province in Canada where you can be open and proud about your bigotry and racism and still be a much admired and welcome member of society, government and the artistic, labour and media communities.

Argus Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Link? Thx! It's always amusing to see the reaction of people who are so ferociously politically correct and instantly leap to the attack at the first hint of prejudice directed towards non-whites, non-christians or Francophones when you raise the spectre of prejudice towards whites/Anglos/Christians. It's always disdain, sneers and laughter. I think they don't really understand what level of hypocrisy and moral and intellectual bankruptcy it reveals.

jbg Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 ....even more amusing is the unsubstantiated H.S. that some expect us swallow.....I will assume from your inability to back up your impotant assertions you are all miasmic hot air.... Reverse discrimination has always been a taboo topic. In the US the Supreme Court danced around it in Defunis v. Odegard, a case where a white student rejected from a law school in favor of allegedly less qualified minorities sued. The Court decided not to rule on the appeal on grounds of "mootness" when the student in question, who had been attending that law school under a preliminary injunction, graduated before the suit was decided. On its next opportunity to decide the issue, Bakke v. Carr the Supreme Court, in a mushy decision, decided that race (on a reverse discrimination basis only) could be a "factor" but not the only one in admitting a student. No one that summer of 1978 had any idea was the SCT was talking about. Reverse discrimination (in favor of minorities, immigrants, Francophones, Hispanics, women, take your pick) has always been the "third rail" of political correctness. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

And I'm pointing out that there is no evidence of it happening to Anglos in Quebec...although being a minority, it wouldn't be a reverse.
