		<description>I just some news recently Ton chien est mort.
Whatever indeed. Pigopolist? Really! Boy? Really! You would be better in Ontario. Really?! What an open accepting society you are creating. We don&#039;t accept you with open arms put a closed fist. 
If you want to spend money here live by my rules, otherwise we are happy with our impoverishment.
Excellent work. 
Now go work on Celine and tell her to stop hating herself by making money singing in English.  How about the youth of your society? How about Simple Plan. tell them you don&#039;t need English. Stay here at home I will finance your dreams. Tell everyone at Le Cirque to come back from Las Vegas because the English U.S dollars they want is corrupting them. Tell Hydro to stop selling to the U.S because they speak English and they should freeze. Tell Bombardier to stop their international expansion, go back to making snow mobiles, the sea doo don&#039;t work in our winter climate and only being used by the English nobility to spread propaganda and thumb their noses at Quebec anyway.</description>

&lt;em&gt;Where is that again? Because I mentioned that your kids are not allowed to learn English, that makes me hate French?&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
My (hypotethical) kids are not disallowed to learn french. You, however, imply that to be &quot;someone&quot; or to be able to achieve &quot;something&quot;, being french-only won&#039;t cut it.
That makes you hate french, boy.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Does that mean that my driver&#8217;s permit makes me hate the environment? &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It means you hate the bugs that squish on your windshied.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;If I use an elevator I am anti-healthcare? &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It means you are anti-stairs.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;With your logic the whole continent of North America must despise the French, otherwise they would have been clamouring to open French language schools all across the U.S and western Canada. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Now that you mention it, yes, the anglo-saxons have a very long track record of despising the french, yes.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;I see the vile contempt they have. Once again the light you have shone has taken me out of the darkness of hatred. I am enlightened.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Don&#039;t forget to turn off the bulb after you leave; leave some light for others, you pigopolist.</description>

&lt;em&gt;Even though I have never for a second said I have a hatred of French.&#160;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
You said it yourself right there:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Ask your provincial leaders why you can&#8217;t have your kid learning English in school so that maybe one day they may get a chance to see that there are opportunities elsewhere. Why are you choking off the youth, your children? Who would do such a terrible thing to a child? Who wants to see there own children held back while the world opens up to others? Stop pointing the finger outwards.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>You tell them Jean. The 18th century English nobility is still ruling the French with an iron fist. The powdered wig wearing, syphilis infecting, pantaloon wearing, snuff snorting, eye glass on the tip of the nose wearing English pish posh have push us Quebecois around long enough. From the beginning of time when dinosaurs roamed the earth with cavemen, the English nobility have been manipulating the churches, the government the entire nation against the aspirations of the hard working salt of the earth Quebecois. Rise up brothers. Rise up and take back Hydro Quebec from the English. Rise up and take back the Catholic church from the English, rise up and take back the Caisse de Depot et Placement from the evil English. Rise up and take back Celine Dion. Rise up and take back the S.A.Q from the greedy hands of the nobility. Rise up and wake up to see that the vast majority of National Assembly elected members are not really Franchophones, but mere puppets of tech English nobility. Rise up and take back Jean Coutu, the Cirque, the Montreal Canadiens. Rise up and take back the May West chocolate treat, the poutine is a secret ploy of the English nobility to fatten the Quebecois up, rise up and say &quot;no more&quot;. Rise up and take back the DuMaurrier cigerettes, don&#039;t let the English fund the natives with the contraband. Rise up and take back the STM. The CHUM is being overtaken also. Wake up people. I have seen the light.  Yes Jean you have shown me the light brother. Let us rise up and break the shackles holding us down. East, West, North and South we will overcome. The vendus will learn to regret thinking out of the box. Oh they will pay when all the jobs leave the province ohh they WILL PAY dearly. Did you know that Jean Charest&#039;s real name is John. OMG!!!! Another sell out. They are all around us.</description>

		<description>The Waste Island will always vote Liberal like clockwork even if the party were a gang of child molesters.  That could probably be the third guarantee of life, after taxes and death.</description>

		<description>Jean, you have convinced me. I am now a separatist. Good arguments and constant banging of the same drum have made me hate the English. Even though I have never for a second said I have a hatred of French. You are the man, go forth and convert others.</description>

&lt;em&gt;Who is this guy and why does he think francophones never vote Liberal? &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Me? I never though that for a second. The &lt;em&gt;pissous&lt;/em&gt; do vote liberal, they think that only the english can run the show. And the &lt;em&gt;vendus&lt;/em&gt;, too, vote liberal, because they know that scumbags will never get it as easy as now in a truly french country, when Qu&#233;bec &quot;separates&quot;.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Take a look at the West Island, the so-called English bastion, which even thirty years ago was at least half-french.  Now you can&#8217;t even find any anglophones working at Fairview Pointe Claire, but the west is still a block of red votes.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
That&#039;s because working in a store, serving the public, is beneath the dignity of the english nobility.</description>

&lt;em&gt;Jean. It seems that you have an axe to grind and many years of anger have built up. Learn to let go and live a little. As a Canadian born child of immigrants I could have a huge chip on my shoulder of how I have been mocked by the French citizens of this province. Don&#8217;t ever dare to mix up the masculine or feminine of a noun when you speak or speak in the wrong tense when you are learning the language. The guffaws, the jeers, the pointing of the fingers and the mocking of my trying to learn French as a kid have left me with terrible memories too. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Awwww, poor little dear sweetheart. You should have gone to Toronto where the kids there are well behaved and don&#039;t make fun of immigrants trying to learn english...
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;But I have gotten past the small minds and have gotten ahead. Walk a mile in our shoes. Walk around as an &#8220;ethnie&#8221;. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Why should I do? Why should I care? After all, it&#039;s the &quot;ethnies&quot; who have come here; they&#039;re the ones who have to adapt and adjust. We do our part: we welcome you here, you do your part: you adapt. It&#039;s simple, fair and square, and that&#039;s the way it works in every single country in the world. Why should we make a special case here?
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Whatever has happened to you was done by the hands of your own brothers, how many provincial leaders do you know that have not been Francophones? They are the ones that have kept you down, go to your local church and ask them why they kept you down. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The church did that to keep power over us, for the benefit of the english who were spared to have to compete against french businessmen. Look for my posts elsewhere here on this site, you&#039;ll see what I mean.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Ask your provincial leaders why you can&#8217;t have your kid learning English in school so that maybe one day they may get a chance to see that there are opportunities elsewhere. Why are you choking off the youth, your children? Who would do such a terrible thing to a child? Who wants to see there own children held back while the world opens up to others? Stop pointing the finger outwards. How many provincial leaders&#8217; children are being sent to private schools where English is being taught? That is o.k drink the kool-aid.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
You are a real english; the federal kool-aid has worked fine on you. Can&#039;t you see that you are nothing but a tool used to minorize the french??? You are the fool in the whole story; you&#039;re being used by the english against us. The english could not care less about you, as long as you do their bidding, which is to minorize the french. 
What you are saying here is that &quot;french=bad, english=good&quot;. Nothing else.
This is the reason why I hammer hard on you, you are the ennemy to shoot down.</description>

&lt;em&gt;Maria Frenglish is the language of Montreal. Unless a law was passed to make Montreal a French city. It may be so, but it is funny when people are asked to invest in Montreal all the publicity is mentioning how we are a bilingual city.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Money may try to live in it&#039;s little magical wonder-word and make wish the french does not exist in Montr&#233;al, this is not the case at all.
Money cannot change the reality that the english are but a tiny minority in the second largest french city in the world.
You insistence upon making yourself believe the opposite only shows that you cannot be bothered with the french, and are utterly unwilling to even learn the language.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Are we lying to potential investors? Should the truth come out louder and maybe investors should think twice before putting money into our economy. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yes, we do not need investors who cannot see reality. What we need is investors who will respect the majority. And History has shown that we are more than willing to pay the price for that in increased poverty thanks to economic reprisals from investors who only want to destroy the french fact.
If you want to live in english, take your money and run. We don&#039;t want people like you who work overtime to destroy our culture by refusing to accept it.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Stop speak out of both sides of your mouths. Quebecois is not a language as much as the Quebecois are a nation and a people. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
In case you haven&#039;t noticed, we speak french, not &quot;qu&#233;b&#233;cois&quot;. There is no such thing as &quot;qu&#233;b&#233;cois&quot; language anymore than there is belgian or swiss.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The aboriginal are a people we are all descendants of immigrants and this plot of land belongs to all of us as Canadians. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Ah, yes, the &quot;rockies is ours&quot; argument. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I think you&#039;ll be much happier in Markham or in Mississauga than in Montr&#233;al.
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Anyway the language debate has no place in municipal politics&lt;/em&gt; 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So why do the english make a fuss about Harel not being bilingual??? For the french, that&#039;s a non-issue. Could it be that the english are unwilling to learn french and demand that other people learn english instead?
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;all we need from these guys is paved streets, working subways, garbage picked up, lit parks and sewers not backing up. It isn&#8217;t glamourous but someone needs to do the grunt work to keep the engine running. Right now with this constant language debate the engine is belching out toxic fumes.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yes, toxic fumes that may very well kill the federal plot to minorize the french by having immigrants become english instead of french, like you seem to have done pretty well...</description>

		<description>Who is this guy and why does he think francophones never vote Liberal? Take a look at the West Island, the so-called English bastion, which even thirty years ago was at least half-french. 

Now you can&#039;t even find any anglophones working at Fairview Pointe Claire, but the west is still a block of red votes.</description>

&lt;em&gt;Respectfully, I&#8217;m pretty sure the STM&#8217;s financing is back to the level it was at before the former Vision Montreal administration cut it to the bone. The City&#8217;s contribution to the STM is 332 M$ in 2009, an increase of almost 40%. In addition, the City sent a check of almost 40M$ to the Agnece m&#233;tropolitaine de transport.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Oh? Then why isn&#039;t the level of service back where it was before it was gutted by G&#233;ranium Pommier???
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;I&#8217;m a Projet Montr&#233;al supporter (even though their name isn&#8217;t translated into Italian, Steve) but don&#8217;t see any reason for gratuitous sexism such as referring to Mme Harel as &#8220;The Bitch&#8221;. Personally, I think she was right about the one island, one city mergers, and even if you disagree with that it is no reason to utter sexist insults.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The use of the word &quot;bitch&quot; is certainly not implied as a sexist, but as a mere derogatory (like when I call Drapeau a &quot;chien&quot; [&quot;dog&quot;, for the french-impaired]). Had I written &quot;chienne&quot; in french, it would not have been a sexist remark. This is the problem with the french-impaired immigrants who have dutifully learned english, as the federal government told them (in order to minorize the french), they do not understand the subtle features of the language of the majority of the people here (yes, Maria, this is directly aimed at you: you have drank the federal government kool-aid and have becomed an english and thus, you reject the french).
Yes, Harel had the great fortune to **DO** the forced mergers (this is hardly visionary, though, because that should have been done 50 years ago); her problem is that she took the party founded by G&#233;ranium Pommier, and that came with the heavy moronic baggage that are the city councillors, and those are the main threat posed by the party, thanks to their utter pettyness and general cluelessness. I do not believe that one person, however great (Harel is great: after all, she is a separatist p&#233;quiste) can reform 80 petty morons (mostly little merchants).</description>

		<description>Jean. It seems that you have an axe to grind and many years of anger have built up. Learn to let go and live a little. As a Canadian born child of immigrants I could have a huge chip on my shoulder of how I have been mocked by the French citizens of this province. Don&#039;t ever dare to mix up the masculine or feminine of a noun when you speak or speak in the wrong tense when you are learning the language. The guffaws, the jeers, the pointing of the fingers and the mocking of my trying to learn French as a kid have left me with terrible memories too. But I have gotten past the small minds and have gotten ahead. Walk a mile in our shoes. Walk around as an &quot;ethnie&quot;. Whatever has happened to you was done by the hands of your own brothers, how many provincial leaders do you know that have not been Francophones? They are the ones that have kept you down, go to your local church and ask them why they kept you down. Ask your provincial leaders why you can&#039;t have your kid learning English in school so that maybe one day they may get a chance to see that there are opportunities elsewhere. Why are you choking off the youth, your children? Who would do such a terrible thing to a child? Who wants to see there own children held back while the world opens up to others? Stop pointing the finger outwards. How many provincial leaders&#039; children are being sent to private schools where English is being taught? That is o.k drink the kool-aid.</description>

Vahan, Frenglish isn&#039;t a language. On the 80, you&#039;ll encounter people speaking dozens of languages, but that doesn&#039;t negate the fact that Montréal is a French-speaking city, any more than the fact that I&#039;m responding to you in English does. Lots of languages are spoken in Toronto as well. Idem London and Paris, or any major, cosmopolitan city.</description>

		<description>There again, like the right wing radicals in the U.S.A bring up Hitler to compare everything bad. That is an easy cheap tool to use when you have run out of qualified arguments. This is the monster in the closest argument that goes nowhere quickly. Sure Parizeau, Bouchard,Landry  et al, should all be compared to a racist mental case who whipped up anger against les autre. No we have a democracy and we vote them in and out, no shots fired, just angry words.</description>
