Let’s hope that 2023 will be the year that ends the “Montreal, Unsettled Mohawk Territory” travesty of this anti-Quebec myth, repeatedly promoted by the Montreal Canadiens before every game at the Bell Centre. and the mocking mayor of an English metropolis.
Do Quebecers still love professional hockey? Think why! Because hockey doesn’t like Quebecers anymore.
Last week, I talked to you about the Bell Center’s unifying career And the Montreal Canadiens who use hockey to make the Quebecers look small…the Quebecers who get out of the Canadian team racism.
In short, if a little boy dreams of playing for the Montreal Canadiens, he better come from America or Western Canada, areas spiritually closer to the current management of the former team of Maurice Richard and Serge Savard.

Last week, I forgot one aspect of this brainstorming: At the Bell Centre, we tell the shameless lie that “Montreal: Unsettled Territory”… a lie that Valerie Plante also loves.
No, Ville-Marie was never the native land of the Mohawks. Politico-religious Mohawk refugees from New York State, persecuted by their converts to Catholicism, settled under the protection of the French at the Sault-Saint-Louis Mission, now Kahnawake.
that is enough !
When the Montreal Canadiens began reporting this lie in October 2021, it caused a scandal. Minister Ian Lafrenière later said it was a mistake on the team’s part, but Canadians continue to say so. Same thing with Valérie Plante: she keeps saying it.
The mouthpieces of this lie hope to fool Quebecers into swallowing these monstrosities, without a history lesson, for no other purpose than to outlaw them. Yes, it’s time for François Legault to demand an end to this travesty.
