Tyrants

Bill 103.

Tyranny.

That's all it is. Strip it down to its core. It's ideology prevailing over the health concerns of private citizens.

Jean Charest and the Liberals are tyrants. They can claim all they want dressing it up with all sorts of strawman fallacies but they can never, ever claim to be true liberals in the classic definition of the word.

They're tyrants dictating to parents what's best for their families. They're tyrants for eliminating free choice.

Ironic given the liberty they seek for their culture they deny it for citizens.

Let's make this crystal clear: This is not about the well-being of people. There's bound to be a negative social fall out from this I reckon.

Which brings me to Gilles Dushlepp. He was off running around in Washington talking nonsense about separation the other day. He asserted after being asked by the Fedex guy (no joke) about Quebec's patently repressive and restrictive language and education laws, "there isn't a better treated minority in the world than Anglos in Quebec."

Thanks Gilles. I guess.

First of all, source please? I would like to know what he based that on. Rwanda? It's all relative, no?

Second, I've grown tired and outright reject the "well treated" argument for a number of Roman numerals:

i) It stinks of arrogance and paternalism.
ii) It gives the impression we're renters (or squatters depending to what degree one supports independence)on "their" land. Of course, don't bring up the Cree with Quebec nationalists.
iii) Gee, I didn't realize Quebec was so kind to us. Last I checked, the English, Scots, Irish, Chinese, Jewish and Italian communities mostly built their own institutions with their own money during a time when Quebec wallowed in xenophobic behavior. Some claim we're not that far from that still today. What we've got we fought for.
iv) Because we're "well treated" doesn't mean a community should tolerate anti-democratic laws.
v) If Anglos are so well treated they would not have made (and continue to make) the extremely difficult decision to move. As we personally often do in this household. Land in Vermont! I'd rather pay taxes elsewhere if this is the mindset.
vi) Until I see a civil service that reflects the true cultural and lnguistic mosaic of Quebec, I won't accept this logic.
vii) It insults French speaking Quebecers who likely don't share this view.
viii) Because it's a stupid fucking thing to say publicly.
