seabee Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 To add on to your point it was those damn Anglophones that let them stay even though they won the war fair and square and granted them the rights to their language and religion Fair and square? From the 12th of July to noon on Sept. 13, the English threw at least 15,000 cannon balls, bombs and fire bombs on the city of Québec, whose total population was about 9,000. Wolfe's avowed intention was to entirely destroy the city. Then, he sent an expedition to Kamouraska with the instruction of destroying every building, barn (with the exception of churches which could be used as hospitals for their wounded or sick soldiers, or quarter-master for the officiers. They were also to burn all harvests, chop down fruit trees, kill all farm animals and burn boats all along the south coast up to Lévis, a distance of over 100 km.. And another detachment with identical instructions was sent to la Malbaie on the north shore up to Montmorency. And there was no french military presence anywhere on the south shore, nor on the north shore east of Montmorency. And, for good measure, the same was done to Île d'Orleans; again, there was no french military presence there. All in all, by September 15th, between 15,000 and 20,000 civilians had intentionnaly been made shelterless with the winter soon coming. And the food depletion was a sure garantee that many would die of starvation, if not of exposure first, all this considering that the entire population of the colony of Canada was about 60,000. This was intentional as first written by Wolfe in the preceding month of March, and repeated, even in french, several times later. All this for no military purpose whatsoever. It fits the international definition of a genocide. The people had the right to speak their language and practice their religion before the English arrived and took these rights away using violence. At best, they gave back those rights, as a mugger might give its victims its wallet after having emptied it. Quote

At best, they gave back those rights, as a mugger might give its victims its wallet after having emptied it. Put this in context. Unfettered freedom of religion and speech were not yet the "default mode". Given the way Quebec is treating Anglophones and Jews now, maybe it isn't, to this day, practiced in Quebec. Of course, it's only racism if done by Anglos, right? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Any worse than Muslims or does that not bother you the same? See this linked article for details. Excerpts below: ============================================================= Concordia U. regrets anti-Netanyahu riot Updated Wed. Jan. 15 2003 6:44 PM ET Canadian Press MONTREAL -- Concordia University officials assumed responsibility Wednesday for a wild protest last September that forced the cancellation of a speech by former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Concordia rector Frederick Lowy said the university put students, faculty and staff in danger by failing to properly secure the downtown Hall building before the protests got out of hand. He also released a report that highlighted co-ordination problems between police and campus security before and during the skirmishes. "We were not adequately prepared for the events of that day," Lowy told reporters. "The level of violence that we saw was unprecedented on this issue in Montreal and contrary to all the advance intelligence." Concordia's mea culpa wasn't enough to deflect criticism from all sides in the Middle East conflict. Jewish groups said the university didn't do enough to prevent the protesters from choking off free speech by disrupting the event. Pro-Palestinian advocates, meanwhile, said Concordia should never have allowed such a controversial figure to deliver an address on a campus with a large Arab population. Year-long tensions between Jewish and pro-Palestinian groups at Concordia exploded Sept. 9 when pro-Palestinian protesters got inside the Hall building prior to the start of Netanyahu's scheduled address. The demonstrators clashed with riot police and smashed furniture and a window. Police responded by beating back the protesters with batons and pepper spray, prompting university officials to cancel the speech. A Concordia memo released Wednesday suggested the speech should have been held at the university's suburban campus west of downtown, where it might have been easier to control the large crowds. It also said the Hall building should not have been left open to the public prior to the speech - a move that allowed protesters to gather inside and disrupt the event. The university also criticized Montreal police, saying "sufficient reinforcements to contain the escalating situation did not arrive until violence broke out." Montreal police officials were not immediately available for comment. *snip* Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

seabee Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 In other words, in an anglophone university, a group of immigrants caused a riot when a cultural minority invites a former prime-minister of a foreign country to speak to them as if he were their leader. This could have happened in any university in the anglosphore. The fact it happened in Quebec, where there is freedom of speech in any language, is irrelevant. Quote

jbg Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 I watched the video. One of the great things about allowing free speech, rather than suppressing it with "hate speech" laws is that one gets to see what people are really up to.

kimmy Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 That's hilarious! I always laugh my ass off at the part where the Zionist Anglophone oppressor 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. I was not aware that this sort of thing is in the textbooks in Quebec. I'd be interested in learning more about this. If this is representative of the content, I am not particularly pleased about it. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
