Quebec as a Nation: New Perspective

Recognizing Quebec as a nation - is this sensible or even popular policy? This video highlights some of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's quotes & writings on the idea of Quebec as a nation and nationalism in general. It is a response to the Quebec Nation resolution which delegates will be debating and voting on at the upcoming liberal leadership and policy convention. The frontrunning candidates in the race are Gerard Kennedy, Stephane Dion, Bob Rae, and Michael Ignatieff.

Ils ne sont pas plus raciste que vous, peut-être même moins! Ta juste entendu parler d'une minorité de gens. C'est comme dire que les Français sont raciste envers les Anglais ou les Italiens ou les Allemand ou etc.

P.S. Je suis un Français qui est né au Québec, j'y vit depuis que je suis né et je n'ai jamais été victime de racisme par les Québécois. Donc si tu sait pas de quoi tu parle, FERME TA PUTAIN DE GRANDE GUEULE

"Nationalism will have to be discarded as a rustic and clumsy tool." This completely contradicts various other statements in your video which exault the concept of "Canada". Replacing patriotism/loyalty from "Québec" to "Canada" does not stop nationalism. Nationalism would, in such a senario, simply evolve.

Le parti québecois obviously does not speak on the unanimous behalf of all people of that province. Likewise neither the Liberal party nor the Conservatives truely speak for all of the people of Candia.

"his dream of Canada was 'one nation -- one country'" The politics of Levesque could be catagorised into exactly the same catagory if you replace Canada with Québec.

"We must never become a ... have always dreamed of" It was teh Canadian government, not le govenrment québecois which defined les québecois as a nation. If you want to blame anyone, blame the federal government, whose repsonsibility it is ultimately.
