'Lead in the head threat'

[Leafless]

A few days after asking the City of Gatineau to translate its bylaws into English, the Regional Association of West Quebecers began receiving e-mail messages telling the group it must abandon its alleged crusade against French or risk getting "lead in their heads."

This is from a province that has rejected any type of bilingual policy in the entire province, but certaintly expects the ROC linguistically conforms to its French linguistic expectations.

To bad the English are not as protective of their English language, but very well should be or even more so as it is the majority language of Canada.

Likely this is not from the province of Quebec, but probably a couple of pissants with a burr up their keister trying to create trouble, and live in Quebec.

Kind of like....well you know.

No I don't know.

This kind of anti-English animosity is not new in Quebec.

For the past five years it was promised that these French only by-laws (never mind a bilingual policy like Ottawa) would be translated into the English language, owing to the fact that a large percentage of English speaking Quebec taxpayers live in Gatineau, especially old Aylmer.

So these pissants and city officials and the Quebecois in general, are the root of the problem and basically are all one group with the same anti-English motives.

The same type of linguistic animosity is also happening in Montreal.

Quebec would be better off separating with no strings attached to the ROC.

BTW--Personal attacks are not permitted.

This is against forum rules and I wonder what is the matter with the moderators in not picking this up and ban you permanently.

Uhh....you are confused, once again, since it is not the city officials who are emailing threats , nor is it general Quebecois who are doing it , but merely that they are receiving emails telling them to knock it off.

But we all understand your fears, how if it is french then the whole province should be damned, or rather the Prov of Que should be shunted off the map....oops...looky here

Yes yes, for a couple of emails. Bright idea there buttercup !

Dancer is right, we should read you for the humour you provide.

Look in the mirror buttercup.

Smooches!

So you have one group more violent than the other, but they are ALL ANTI-ENGLISH.

If you were in front of me now...I,d plant you one, right on the lips.

Hmmm, and you're the one who called Guyser gay????

P.S. How do you know if he is in fact gay? Citation please.

Hey, I don't want to get banned.

If you notice, I didn't say what I would plant him with.

He sunk his own ship with that one...namely with homosexual taunts.

He belongs in the same barn with Dancer.

[AngusThermopyle]

I'm not sure what taunts you're reffering to. Do you mean when he called you Buttercup?

I've never really thought of that as a homosexual taunt. When I was a little boy growing up in Liverpool adults would call a cute baby or toddler girl or boy Buttercup. When I saw that I thought he was actually implying childishness, not homosexuality.

I wonder if I'm the only one who thought that?

Nice catch there Angus. Here is another clue....

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"

I wonder if I'm the only one who thought that?

I doubt it.

I've read this a few times and can't see any attack, much less a personal one.

I am a heterosexual male.

In my entire lifetime I have not heard another heterosexual male call another sweetheart, buttercup etc unless they are looking for trouble.

Let Guyser try that in a normal bar, minus homo's, and they will be carrying him out on a stretcher.

Guyser is trying to degrade in his normal homosexual fashion with homo taunts that I consider hate speech, directed against ones moral and political views, religion and heterosexual orientation.

I'm a heterosexual male too, yet if he called me buttercup I might, at the most, think he was odd, I wouldn't think of it as an attack. Lighten up.

and second, I have no doubt that he could probably find some neandrethol who would take offence to that, wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact, I even know a few places where they are!

As it currently stands majority English speaking, Christian Canadians will soon be totally engulfed by minority ideolgies and beliefs.

So I gather, you will be sitting back exclaiming 'My god that is odd, I never thought this could possibly happen'.

....and the result will be you are the minority? Ha, you aint young enough for that. Relax.....your sky isnt falling.

Peventative medical procedures, for instance, is the best solution to help someone dying of cancer or other major illness.

In a similar light, removing dysfunctionally federally imposed discriminatory legislation resulting in an artificial socially engineered society, is the best way to prevent a country from giving away its history,culture, traditons, from withering away and dying a humiliating death.

I entirely agree. But since there is no discriminatory legislation at the federal level... no cancer.

Oops, there is a cancer, and it should be removed. I'll be happy to help you pack, and I will even contribute to your plane ticket.

Threats of violence against a group of people who only demands what is far (city by-laws in English and French for Gatineau). What of bunch of whackos.

That being said, thank you very much Leafless. While you use the word racist to describe that pile of m*nure known as Quebec's language laws, here you go bemoaning the fact that English-speaking Canadians are not equally or even more protective of the English language.

Make everyone's day. Tell us how you would do it.

Then what do you call IMPOSED UNDEMOCRATIC 'Official Multiculturalism', IMPOSED, UNDEMOCRATIC 'Official Bilingualism' relating to the federal government and IMPOSED, UNDEMOCRATIC, 'Charter of LESS Rights and Freedoms' for the majority of Canadians.

Rest assured, the feeling is mutual!

How do I call your choice of terms? The product of a deluded mind, with nothing to do with reality.

By the way, I am still waiting to see how you plan to protect the English language against the threat that exists only in your imagination.

The reality is what I stated including 'Official Languages' a product similar to that of a BANANA REPUBLIC.

The same way Quebec protected their imaginary threat to the French language.

Declare ALL English majority speaking provinces OFFICIALLY ENGLISH speaking, complete with an English Charter to protect its residents against the infiltration of any type of official bilingualism, like Quebec has done.

In other words, through the same kind of actions YOU denounce as discriminatory. :lol:

The English-language community in Gatineau would be justified in advocating, not only trnaslation of by-laws, but full equality of English and French in municipal administration and services. Ottawa, as the capital of our country, rightly implemented such a policy. Gatineau, home to the head of federal departments, and closely linked to Ottawa, should do the same.

[Leafless]

What I denounce as racially discriminatory is Quebec's provincial language legislation that removes rights guaranteed by Canada's current Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

To declare a province 'officially English' is not discriminatory and it is any provinces perfectly legal right to do so.

In the case of Quebec doing this though is actually comical in the sense a minority language that incorporates a useless obsolete french language as being provincially 'official' displays the arrogance and spitefulness of Quebec, in knowing full well the country is majority residential and commercial de-facto English speaking as well as Canada's coast to coast largest trading partner, the U.S.

Don't preach here, go to Quebec city and convince them.

GOOD LUCK!!!!! LOL

Ottawa, as the capital of our country, rightly implemented such a policy.

No, it was Ottawa city council and Liberal supportive Ottawa ex-mayor BOB CHIRALLI that UNDEMOCRATICALLY IMPOSED ON THE RESIDENTS OF OTTAWA WITH THE BLESSING OF BILINGUALLY RAISED ONTARIO PREMIER DALTON MC.GUINTY THIS DISCRIMINATORY BILINGUALISM POLICY, WITHOUT THE INPUT OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING MAJORITY TAX PAYING RESIDENTS OF OTTAWA.

Francophones are already OVERLY represented by the federal component of Ottawa as capital of Canada.

The rest of Ottawa is like any other municipality in Canada that should not have to support francophone bilingual fantasies but have been undemocratically manipulated into doing just that.

Gatineau, home to the head of federal departments, and closely linked to Ottawa, should do the same.

Gatineau is not home to federal departments as parliament is in the Capital of Canada, Ottawa.

Ottawa the Capital of Canada, has no federal capital district.

The only reason Quebec houses any federal departments is because of an obsolete Pierre Trudeau invention to diversify Ottawa's power and give Quebec 25% of federal representation as well as a much lesser amount to other provinces in Canada depending on population.

This is another horrible, undemocratic Liberal maneuver to steal power from Ottawa the Capital of Canada, the federal governments rightful place as dictated by Queen Victoria, whose birthday incidentally will be celebrated this month on May 24, Victoria Day.
