what bugs me know is that because im english in quebec I was discriminated my whole life. I went to french schools(by force) and my teachers showed favoritism to french students. They told I was stupid for a very long time. and the worse part is I used to believe them. I was never able to get a job because my french wasn't strong enough. Life is tough here. Can't wait to get out of here.
@MrCanadian1867 Do you know that even as italians in TO, my parents had to fight with the Irish and english to protect themselves from discrimination when they came to Canada. The Irish faced discrimination when they came. It's a normal process but those who have lived through it should know better. And so many of the cultures what have come to Canada work like dogs to make a living here..and have contributed incredible amounts to this country. This english superiority is nothing but bullshit...
@MrCanadian1867 I'm not french...even though I have a french name. I've never lived in Quebec......my background is italian. Even so, your answer is quite patronizing. If I was in their position, I would just tell you to fuck off if you came around with that attitude. Actually....any culture in Canada would react the same towards you. You have no right to control anyone's culture actually. And this is the beauty of Canada that I hear on almost every radio show on Canada Day...
@MrCanadian1867 have you noticed how much demand there is for children to be placed in french immersion? Students are constantly turned down for french immersion...due to limited space. Consider that we have no need to protect our own english culture. English is the accepted language of commerce around the world. Life is not just about money.....disrespect and conflict happens when we don't acknowledge the importance of culture beyond our own....
As a French lady (from Paris, France), I assure you that the French love the Quebeckers very much. They are in favour of Quebec independence. Nous en France, nous adorons le Québec et souhaitons qu'il devienne indépendant le plus tôt possible. En Francia adoramos Quebec y queremos que Quebec se independice lo más rápido posible. Wir wollen in Frankreich, der Schweiz und Belgien, dass Quebec sich unabhängig macht und erklärt.
@SophieLazier Like your people ever cared about ours, my family moved to New France to escape France, and when the British took over we celebrated because we knew which was the better empire to be part of.
@dogterd The FLQ was created by the RCMP in order to give a bad face to quebec. Today canada is still trying to assimilate canada as if the french were the scum of the earth.
I've got to say for an NFB production this is pretty sloppy. They don't even bother giving the years that events occurred, or the full names of the main actors in key events. But with the 40th anniversary of the October Crisis coming up next month, it's great to have access to this. Thanks for posting.
I like that when you say fuck canada. stupid politics we just lost 66000 jobs this month olone i think french people are smart not to seperate because they no they would be poor just one thing i dont understand the sepertase then want to seperate but you never se them have a plan how a indapentant quebec would work i have alot of respect for french people i dont believe indapence for anyone we need each other .
FLQ was and remains a joke. Trudeau called the troops in and they ran and though separatists will never admit - they know that Quebec Independence is dead. Kudos to the loyal majority of French Canadians.
@the0ldknight One lived - Cross, but he was held for a month or more. The other, LaPorte, was strangled to death soon after kidnapping and his body found later in the trunk of a car, setting off the implementation of the War Measures Act (basically martial law).
This documentary tells us nothing really... you need to look it up on another site.
@WryGrin get your fact right!.. Laporte try to escape and trow himself trou a window, cut himself, and that what have cause is death..... (the murder, ok they do have kidnap him so) but boring fact is that it was GRC who was fabricated, and placing bomb! They grc add infiltrated FLQ, and was pushing these event to appen, to kill the will of separatis = ( .... ha people... French People, true patriote know the truth! = ) NOUS VAINCRONS! Sorry for my bad english folks!
@patriciamarylaine08 because mny Quebecuers feel they're being dominated by the English, who took over Quebec after the Battle of Quebec in 1756. The current Quebec premier has been called a collabarator becuase he supports Stephen Harper. Harper doesn't Quebec to seperate. I don't want Quebec to seperate. Too much history there. Though I think they will seperate, i just hope i'm not alive to see it
The wages in Quebec were the as they were in the rest of Canada. Another BS-self pity video! They still whine today! For every bomb, they should have executed 10 FLQs! Mangez tous de la merde!
@miraelpaix I also believe they were terrorists...and nothing was accomplished at all by bombing and killing people. If anything, it generated greater opposition to their cause. At the same time, I believe they represented a cause that ran deep in the blood of people in Quebec during that time.
