Note To PQ Fascistic Dweebs: It's Not Us The Problem

Don't people in the ROC and ROW (rest of the world) know it's a matter of  "principles?" Sheesh.

Pasta, dildos, Wal-Mart. Come on!

"...When an Office inspector discovered the Doc Johnson sex aid for sale in Montreal’s Boutique Séduction back in 2007, he immediately recognized an infraction of Quebec’s language law. Never mind that the shop sold just 10 of the vibrators a year and would lose money if forced to translate the packaging; the instructions and warranty information were in English only, so the store was fined $500. Séduction chose to fight the fine rather than remove the product from its shelves, and six years and eight court dates later, the case comes to trial Nov. 28."

"...A rigid, coercive investigation style does not encourage dialogue and can lead to excessive behaviour on both sides,” Diane De Courcy, the minister responsible for the French Language Charter told RDI...."

Excessive behavior on both sides? Is De Courcy insane? Oh. She's a Pequiste. Of course she is.

I wonder what she means by this. Is using a word "excessive" in their minds?

Look. Bottom line and fact: Quebec is the most political region in North America. It finds politics in all facets of life. No jurisdiction is obsessed with politics like Quebec is. Language is so far away the list of interests on political discourse among non-Francophones it makes her comment all the more frivolous. It's not us going around busting people's balls. It's them.

"...It was all a little rich coming from the minister behind Bill 14, the proposed tightening of Quebec’s language law that would give the Office’s inspectors new powers of search and seizure and allow them to refer complaints directly to prosecutors without giving alleged offenders time to comply.

Ms. De Courcy has advocated a public-shaming approach toward violators of the language law, calling last fall on all Quebec citizens to act as “language sentries” snitching on companies. She has also promised to out offenders on a government website from the moment a complaint is filed. And one of her government’s first moves after its election last September, at a time of budget cutting in most departments, was to increase the Office’s staff...."


Exactly. It's the PQ that sets the toxic tone. To have the gall to throw some of it back on us is disgusting. They're the ones who come out chest thumping about the need of tightening regressive laws. Not us. They're the ones who drew up the contemptible Bill 14. Not us.

It's not us the problem. YOU MAKE US THE PROBLEM.

Defend Bill 14 to a panel of Human Rights lawyers. International intellectuals committed to civil rights.

Go ahead. I'm gonna sit back and laugh as you muddle around with the gibberish sure to follow.

"...Edith Arsenault, vice-president of Séduction’s parent company, said those conditions apply to the “niche” vibrator in question. Her store fought a similar complaint by the Office against another sex aid — the Super Stretch Sleeves — and saw the prosecution withdraw the charge just as it was to go to trial for a second time.

“We fight this in the courts to keep products available on the market, because we sell products that are not available elsewhere,” she said in an interview.

“It’s specialized for erotic boutiques. We want to offer this choice to our customers, the choice of the products they desire. It’s a question of sexual health. We do not want our clients to suffer from this.

We do not want Quebec to suffer.”

She has had enough run-ins with the language police to be skeptical that they can alter their approach overnight. “Honestly, the people who work there, it will take a real change of culture for them,” she said. “I think it is going to be a difficult job for the new president.”

Mme. Arsenault is absolutely right. It's about customers. It's about choice. It's about her decisions to make right by her business and clients. She doesn't have to answer to ANYONE let alone the OLF.

It's a point of basic rights and logic that is completely absent from the minds of the PQ, the leftists who support them and nationalists.

They leave a path of unseen destruction on the economy.

Quebec suffers a lot in terms of what's available here. If you've shopped in Ontario or the States, you know what I mean. There's no doubt in my mind many small businesses with superb products don't bother expanding into Quebec.

Not worth the headaches and judging by the kooks currently running the joint, I don't blame them.

I made a similar point about the culture at the OLF. It attracts a certain type of individual. The sort you wouldn't normally consider "enlightened" or want to hang around with. The sort that's already predisposed to be close-minded, clueless and rigid. The sort who enjoys exercising power on helpless individuals.

It's an ugly culture.

That's what we have.

We should reframe and rephrase the narrative from one of language to that of basic rights.
