The very peak of hypocrisy lies in the fact that Quebec has gone from having the highest post-war fecundity rates to the lowest. These same Quebec Nationalists want a society of pure laine without doing any of the work! The immigrants aren't responsible for your lack of interest in procreation! Shut up and have babies, you babies!

I do not think that any ideology based on one group is advisable, Orwell said the land belongs to those that work there, The Anglos and First Nations folk work and have worked for several centuries in what is now Quebec. The Anglos man for man, or woman for woman.have been by far the most productive people in what is now Quebec. The original introduction to Bill 101 stated that French has always been the language of the people of Quebec. While that has been removed from the official makeup of that Bill, that perspective continues. It is not challenged because of the gerrymandering of our Federal and Provincial ridings. In addition, English Canadians are what an old English Quebec and maritime phrase called "Homers". These are peolple who do not care what happens as long as they and their immediate families are not immediately impacted. As a teacher. I was booed when I suggested that English Teachers oppose Bill 101. It was not untill the job losses were so great that the teahers at the local and provincial levels opposed Bill 101. The Canadian Federal Teacher union did not oppose this either although it violated Federal Laws. The Federal Parliament then changed the Federal Consitution to comply with Bill 101.
