Public school teachers are callous dictators who won't lift a finger to stop children from peeing in my plane

That's a fine answer, but also the answer that doesn't let you win back those sweet sweet CPC / PPC swing voters. You can't say your party isn't racist, that will make the racists not want to vote for you!

It's like THE NDP stronghold anyway, so it's not like the CPC candidate has a chance to win anyway.

Did I say "racism" in that statement? No I did not, and that was by design.

See, I might could be a politician if I wiped every trace of myself from the Internet and got a legal name change.

Not an uncommon phenomenon. Plenty of folks have the attitude of "I had to suffer to get mine, and made it through because of my own hard work and perseverance, others should have to do the same." Works in regards to citizenship, class, job seniority, home ownership, etc etc.

It was never about apostrophes specifically, the whole signage had to be in French. And if there was ambiguity with a name and then you add an apostrophe, then it made it clear it was english. That was initially, at least. Now, all trademarks are allowed in whatever language (including apostrophes), as long as there's french signage too. So for example, Best Buy has "magasin électronique et électroménagers" or stuff like that near it.

As for Eaton's specifically, they were famously hated here because they would refuse to hire/serve french people altogether. Which is probably why they went after them first lol.

Funny thing about Montreal - as you exited Eatons, which had direct access to the McGill subway station, there, across the street on St. Catharines was "CLUB SUPER SEX" in all its gaudy and flashing lights - the largest strip club in all of Montreal.

I almost wonder if the club located there just to spite the Eaton family.

It was one of those jarring contrasts that made Montreal such an intersting place to live.

How the gently caress did he whiff on a softball from Rick loving Bell? Rick made the most elaborate preamble to ask Kenney to apologize again and instead Kenney says he's unapologetic for his choice back in June.

This might be worse than Doug Ford's backyard blubbering press conference in the spring.

I wonder if there was pressure from the federal Conservatives to hold off on this until the day after the election; Kenney clearly took marching orders to shut the gently caress up for the last few weeks.

Of course there was pressure. Why do you think Ford prorogued the Ontario Legislature until October? Kenney basically admitted he was told to shut up two weeks ago when he said it would be inappropriate to announce policy during a federal election.

To me, the video of the CPC dude who didn’t want to answer the question seemed to be for fear of offending the PPC vote and highlights the potential of the PPC taking over the party in a couple of election cycles if CPC eats poo poo and PPC makes gains. This is a temporarily fractured electorate and the lols from right vote splitting is not worth those lunatics taking over the asylum.

I have my doubts about Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, but his sustained eloquence and substance in the provincial assembly make it hard to feel satisfied by the likes of milquetoast king Jagmeet Singh on the federal stage:

https://montrealgazette.com/news/qu...obox=1631735195

quote:

François Legault calls Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois a 'woke'
Premier's sharp response was sparked by having been compared to Maurice Duplessis.



QUEBEC — Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois is a “woke,” according to Premier François Legault.

The tone the premier used, during question period in the National Assembly Wednesday, left no doubt that he meant the label pejoratively, not as a compliment.

Legault evidently had felt attacked by the preamble of the question asked by Nadeau-Dubois, who had compared him to former premier Maurice Duplessis. His reply was scathing.

“The leader of Québec solidaire mentions Maurice Duplessis. He had a lot of faults, but he defended his nation. He was not a ‘woke’ like the leader of Québec solidaire,” Legault said.

The term “woke” in general is used to describe people who are highly focused on ending social injustices and especially all forms of racism.

Nadeau-Dubois had been attempting to make the point that, in his view, the premier had recently proclaimed himself “father of the Quebec nation,” by intervening in the federal election campaign to forcefully defend Quebec values, respect for provincial jurisdiction, Bill 21 on laïcité and Bill 96, amending the language laws. He reminded the premier that he had not received from Quebecers “the mandate to unilaterally decree what Quebec values are.”

By acting in that manner, Legault “succumbed to one of his worst flaws. He set about doing his best Maurice Duplessis imitation,” according to Nadeau-Dubois, who added that “there are millions of us in Quebec who do not see ourselves in him, do not see ourselves in his government; there are millions of us fed up with him presenting himself as our saviour, and our redeemer.”

When the premier called him “woke,” the Québec solidaire MNA did not take up the challenge. Instead, he replied that if “the premier wants to bring the level of debate down into the sewers, he can do so, but I won’t follow him.”

He emphasized that detractors of Bill 21 were just as much Quebecers as those who supported it. “The premier has no right to symbolically expel them from the Quebec nation because they are in disagreement with him. He is a premier, not a monarch.”

The heated debate between the two quickly went off the rails over Quebec-Ottawa relations.

Nadeau-Dubois added that while he is a sovereignist, the quarrels around federal or provincial jurisdiction don’t interest him “all that much.”

The premier seized the opportunity to conclude that what “Québec solidaire is telling us, is that between now and the next referendum, come and invade our areas of jurisdiction, we enjoy that.”
