Leafless Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 so is the word Nazi that you keep misusing. Word Web: Nazism: Noun-A form of socialism featuring racism and expansionism and obedience to a strong leader. I am using the word correctly. But thanks for confirming that you do not believe in equal rights. Not relating to language. Quebec insisted on being 'masters of their own house' relating to culture, language and running there own affairs. So this in itself equalizes languages in Quebec vs. English Canada. There is no need for any imposed 'racist language policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafless Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Of course they are, but the population isn't monolithically bilingual; in some regions English dominates, while in others it's French that's more commonly used. Outside of Quebec Francophones represent 3% of Canada's population. This small percentage does not qualify the French language to be of any significance. Even in Quebec the term 'French is the majority' is a misnomer and does not even apply since Quebec is only a province and NOT a separate country. When calculating majority and minority language numbers they must include numbers from the WHOLE of Canada and not from any single province.

I am using the word correctly. No, you're not. You could use "fascist," but that still wouldn't be quite true either, but probably closer to the point you are trying to convey. ""Nazi" and "fascist", however, are not interchangeable. The former refers specifically to the German National Socialist Worker's party and their policies and practices. It is not a catch all term for "things I don't like". Quote America...."the worlds largest, best-armed shopping mall."-Ivor Tossell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANADIEN Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 WRONG: Excerpt from the THE CANADA HEALTH AND SOCIAL TRANSFER: OPERATION AND POSSIBLE REPERCUSSIONS ON THE HEALTH CARE SECTOR(...) Excerpt from Wikipedia Section Twenty-three of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (...) Why don't you try going to the SOURCE, called, in this case, the Constitution?link Among other things, it reads: 93. In and for each Province the Legislature may exclusively make Laws in relation to Education (...)Quite clear (except for you, that is) and never changed or repealed by any other section of the Constitution.And I don't think English Canada is trying to destroy the English language like they are in Quebec. Me neither. But then, YOU are the one who keep calling for laws to "protect" the English language. In all fairness Quebec should no longer even be part of confederation relating to Quebec not signing the Constitution Act of 1982 nor not even signing the amendment section which makes the Charter in the minds of many Canadians illegal and unconstitutional. Good old Clueless. When the "the Charter is wrong, it was imposed by Quebec" line doesn't work, revert to the "the Charter is wrong, Quebec didn't sign it" line. You would do a fortune on the Comedy club circuit. You mean much less imposed than the federal Nazi type language policies. Of course, in your universe, past policies that BANNED schooling in a certain language are less restrictive than current law that gives Canadians the CHOICE of the Canadian language they choose to communicate with their Government. In the real world, people who have a clue know it's other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANADIEN Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not relating to language. Good to know. At least know there is no denying that your whining about "racist, Nazi" language laws, besides being peppered with cluelessness and prejucide, is a reflection of your envy at laws you would like to see in Ontario. There is no need for any imposed 'racist language policy. Yet, Quebec language laws is what you want to see copied in Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbg Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ah, but it's Leafless; so, the term's only being trivialised by a trivial person. Perhaps. But there have been occasions you've used some rather strong language to describe me. 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANADIEN Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 So? In the places where that three percent lives, they make up a significant part of the population. Actually, according to Leafless, we are only supposed to think in terms of percentage of the whole population of the country. So you should be asking him about the places where that 21% lives.

Leafless Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Me neither. But then, YOU are the one who keep calling for laws to "protect" the English language. Absolutely. Quotes from French Quebec politicians: .-"The Canadian community must invest, for the defence and better appreciation of the French language, as much time, energy, and money as are required to prevent the country from breaking up" - Pierre Trudeau, Page 32, "Federalism" (1968) also quoted in Farewell The Peaceful Kingdom by Joe Armstrong. " ....Given these facts, should French-speaking people concentrate their efforts on Quebec, or take the whole of Canada as their base? In my opinion, they should do both; and for the purpose they could find no better instrument than federalism", Pierre Trudeau, Page 31 "Federalism" (1968). -------------------- .-“Unilingual Anglophones will be sentenced to a lifetime of job immobility" - Pierre Trudeau. ----------------------------------------- -"The separatists' Bill 101 is a brilliant piece of legislation" - Stéphane Dion, Federal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs (2001), ------------------------------------------- - "If Québec separates I will go with it, my loyalties are with Québec" - Pierre Pettigrew, Federal Minister of Industry, Trade and Commerce (2001). ------------------------------------------- .-"I cannot swear it but I think we were thinking to ourselves,... we are a small group, Trudeau, Pelletier, Marchand, Lalonde, Chrétien, myself and a few people in the civil service, say 50 all told…we were bringing off a revolution. We held the key posts. We were making the civil service bilingual (French), kicking and screaming all the time". Jean-Luc Pepin, Minister of Industry, 1970. -------------------------------------------- .-"Canada is going to be a French speaking nation from coast to coast and any body opposed to this is opposed to the best interest of Canada". Leo Cadieux, speaking to French National Assembly, 1973. ------------------------------------------------ Quebec can make French the only official language in spite of the Constitution". Pierre Trudeau, 1967. ---------------------------------------------------- -"There will be no retreat in Quebec on the French language policy". P.M. Brian Mulroney, Dec. 12th, 1986. ------------------------------------------------------ -Jeanne Sauve, former governor general-1987-"English Canadians have nothing to offer us but their stupid mediocrity". ------------------------------------------------- -" Everything that weakens and humiliates Canada must cause us to rejoice". "The government of Canada has no right to promote English in Quebec". Gil Remillard, Minister for Inter-Governmental Affairs, 1988. ------------------------------------------------- "Bilingualism is unthinkable for Quebec".

Never mind that it is non-sense, that at least one of the quotes is a little suspect, that he copied (stole?) the thing word for word from another forum site, and that he is secretely jealous because he didn't get to say those things first.

No one is talking about the whole of Canada. Noone? Then for starters, there's me. BTW, I was just trying to abide by YOUR standard. Remember,? If ones talks about Quebec, the whole of the country's population should, according to YOU, be taken into acount. What is good then is also good when talking of Canada ouside of Quebec, isn't it? Or if it is not, then one is justified in thinking that you are either an hypocrite, or too clueless to remember what you said. Or, as I suspect, both.

Anyone with a pea for a brain knows that our Canadian federal government is today firmly under French Canadian control I totally agree that anyone with a pea for a brains knows that.
