Canada's immigration policy.

[Leafless]

I read the thread, and only once prior did you state the above. But, so what? It doesn't explain in the least what Franco-Canadian-cultural policies have to do with those for immigration,

They are not Franco-Canadian- cultural policies written by Quebec but they they are cultural policies written by a French Canadian PM (Mr. Trudeau) for Quebecers.

Canada's immigration policy was changed by the same PM to base immigration on human rights agenda (non- White countries) rather than the traditonal source of obtaining our previous cultural compatable immigrants from European countries and the U.S.

Mr. Trudeau's cultural and immigration policies have worked hand in hand to destroy the White, English speaking culture's political influence in Canada.

The actual connection why the immigration policy shifted to French cultural concerns was just the way the thread evolved relating for instance to post 186,203, 225, 226 and others.

All I can suggest to you is only wonder why did you not become involved in this thread as it progressed rather than engage in personal insults.

English translation please :lol:

Repeat myself AGAIN and I am not laughing.

Once again clueless about the fact there are plenty of French-speaking Canadians outside Quebec?

Here's what you wrote.

It appears Trudeau's induced fatal socio-political-judical gangerene has been successful in destroying the country and handing it over to undeserving strangers.

Don't be surprised that I wonder if I landed at amateur night at Yuk Yuk's.

Canada is not an island.

Of course not.

Canada WAS a country built by White, English speaking immigrants and other cultures who assimilated to Western ideologies.

[Leafless]

There are approx. 1-million Francophones (or rather mostly bilingual Canadians) scattered around Canada.

And just because they have a French mother tounge does mean that they ALL speak French.

Then this shows your ignorance of language. It is in fact possible for a person to forget his mother tongue after many years of disuse. Some people are more fluent in their second language than they are in their mother-tongue. In extreme cases, they may even barely speak their mother tongue, yet that might not necessarily stop them from speaking multiple languages fluently.

[CANADIEN]

Of course not.

News to you. A culture is not an ideology, and an ideology is not a culture.

And as a Canadian who has not, does not, will not, and most definintely does not have to assimilate into any Emglish-speaking culture, as someone whose ancestors have been part of the building of one of the best countries in the world, I am the living proof that you do not have a clue.

But don't worry, I do not expect you to ever clue in on that.

You've just defined imperialism.

[Leafless]

You mean, our immigration problems are rooted in something that exists only in your imagination?

I certainly hope and pray that you do not have access to the federal governments computers.

[CANADIEN]

You've just defined imperialism.

Nope. He just defined ignrance.

[Machjo]

Nope. He just defined ignrance.

Correction:

And ignorance.

He's essentially promoting assimilation of various people to the majority English-speaking culture. Let's not confuse assimilation with integration. Assimilation implies not just learning a second culture, but rather replacing one culture with another. That essentially is culturla hegemony and cultural imperialism.

[Leafless]

News to you. A culture is not an ideology, and an ideology is not a culture.

The French have rocked the boat with Britain since day 1.

And you and others who think like you are living proof of this and certaintly is nothing new.

[Machjo]

Leafless: Do you know a second language? Any second language?

[CANADIEN]

Let me check here. Even when you get something right (the 1 million figure)))))), you manage to get things wrong

The noun Francophone is defined is the Oxford and Merriam dictionaries as meaning someone who speakes French. The Cambridge dictionary defines a Francophone as someone whose first language is French. It is a well-known fact that in Canada the term is usally used to define someone whose first language is French.

In other words, logic shows that someone may be a Francophone (that is speaks French as his/her first language) and bilingual (that is able to use two languages) or even multilingual (more than two languages).

Of course, these are definition from the English language. I fully expect you to stick to the leaflish definition.

Leafless: Do you know a second language? Any second language?

Why would anyone bother in an English country? Outside of Kwebek, what purpose would it serve?

My daughter is heading into grade 7 next year and has already chosen her options...not french, but Spanish.

Now THAT makes some sense.

The only thing relating to imperialism in Canada is Quebec's empire building fuelled by Trudeau's cultural policies.

In other words, once again, a figment of your imagination.

[CANADIEN]

Irrelevant. The only english country is ENGLAND. This is Canada, whether you like it or not.

Your daughter wants to chose Spanish as the second language she will study? Good for her.

I hope that when she is an adult she won't whine like her father and make ignorant statements like "this is an English country" when she realizes that learning the languages of more than one Canadian out of 5 would not have been a bad idea after all.

[Leafless]

With Canada's majority language being the English language and Canada's ONLY neighbouring country being an English speaking country, should answer your question.

First off, Franco-Canadian-cultures are not limited to Quebec. Secondly, the Franco-Canadian-cultural policies in place today have their roots with Pearson, not Trudeau. Thirdly, that these policies continued while new ones for immigration were implemented during the premiership of Trudeau remains only a coincidence. There is as of yet no proof that Trudeau pulled together two parallel running portfolios as a Machiavellian way of destroying "white English culture" (which itself remains completely undefined), as you now, in an attempt to retroactively make sense of your earlier posts, keep asserting he did. As the statement goes: correlation does not imply causation.

[W]hy did you not become involved in this thread as it progressed rather than engage in personal insults.

I was earlier involved in the thread, Leafless. And, please, try not to lecture others on personal insults until you've managed to hamper your own penchant for unsophisticated derision.

It makes far more sense to learn Spanish when you consider the Spanish-speaking population south of Canada's border. To continue learning a dead dialect of a language (french in Kwebek) makes absolutely no sense. 20% of Canadians versus the multi-millions of Spanish-speaking people in North America??? No comparison.

By the way, this IS an English country whether you like it or not.

It's Monday evening and I need a good laugh. So pray tell, why would it be such a bad thing if I got access to a federal government computer?
