We are not foreigners

CAQ advertising campaign He talked a lot. Is CAQ really representing the heart of its electorate under the guise of this friendly old lady?

But behind this entertainment a lot of bad contempt is revealed, especially visible among the self-proclaimed activists of an “inclusive” Quebec, who make a shameful decision: this woman will mark the end of a certain Quebec, which will vigorously cling to the CAQ. ., that too will stick to him.

This insult to Quebec, once called “proprietary.” It runs through our history. The peaceful revolution was believed to have been defeated.

Quebec

But after the 1995 referendum defeat, he has come back to the fore for radicalization.

We saw this during the 2007-2008 fair housing crisis. It was not unusual to hear then that Quebecers in the regions and suburbs were not the only ones concerned about the proliferation of extravagant religious symbols.

Thus they become silly freaks, closed off to the world.

“Modern” Quebecers who worship diversity, under the pressure of immigration beyond our capacity for assimilation and Canadian multiculturalism, will delight in what Montreal is becoming.

Let’s be clear. All you have to do is set foot in the city’s downtown to see Quebec culture exuded. It goes beyond the city center. Same situation in many places in Laval. Anyone who sets foot in Carrefour Laval will unfortunately experience that.

In Montreal, traces of the historic French-speaking majority are dissipating. Then we can name everything and anything “Quebec Nation” to convince ourselves that everything is fine. We know we lie to ourselves by playing on words. Quebec becomes an empty word.

Worse, the Legault government’s desire to linguistically reclaim the metropolis is leading to a kind of identity extremism.

The dreaded Act 96 is thus the target of a demonization campaign.

It is no longer difficult to explain to us, among the diverse younger generation, that there is something discriminatory about combining French and Quebec identity.

Quebecers are gradually being pushed out of their own identity, in the name of a false notion of inclusion.

When François Legault recently recalled that Quebec culture should be the reference culture in Quebec, the English-language press accused him of presenting a hegemonic view! How far will this denial go from Quebec?

Foreigners?

Are Quebecers doomed to become strangers at home? It is not uncommon for them to be called “allochtones” henceforth.

How could they not see in it their identity as a militant refusal? Thus they become the “other” in the household. They are symbolically and historically uprooted from their country.

René Lévesque, who celebrates his 100th birthday this year, will not be happy with this Quebec, which has already stopped apologizing.
