CFN – To many, Wednesday, September 26th, 2012 will long be remembered as the day that an Eastern Ontario township Council (South Stormont) took a strong stand in support of Canadians’ inalienable right to freedom of expression. Why was that necessary? Language rights activist Howard Galganov will tell you it was essential to push back because in June an Ontario Court of Appeal judge ruled that, even though Russell Township’s forced bilingual sign law clearly violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it is permissible to infringe on some of these rights in order to promote the agenda of some French language activists. Russell was the fourth Eastern Ontario township to adopt such a practice that dictates that all commercial signs be in French and English, even if the customers speak neither of those languages and without regard to need nor cost.
Galganov and Jean-Serge Brisson are in the process of a Supreme Court challenge to that ruling. However, Galganov is not putting all of his eggs in one basket. One township at a time he is working to get the remaining 440 Ontario townships not to infringe upon these inalienable (God-given) and Charter rights. Tuesday was South Glengarry’s turn to answer the challenge. The answer? We’ll deal with it at the next meeting.
Galganov did not miss the opportunity to remind his audience that our M.P. Guy Lauzon declined Galganov’s request to join him in taking a stand in South Stormont because the matter is “too controversial.”
It’s not o.k.! … If we wait for the politicians at the federal level, at the provincial level, we’ll be waiting for an awful long time. When a federal member of Parliament can’t stand up and say ‘I support freedom of expression; I support the Canadian Constitutional rights’, what’s to say!
158 Canadians have died fighting for the rights and freedoms of others [in Afghanistan] and we’re too frightened to fight for our own rights and freedoms here just by affirming our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms!
Galganov received a round of applause during his closing, when he requested of Council:
If any of the Councillors, in this case, Mr. Bougie, would present the resolution, and at the same time, present a motion to have it voted on tonight, because if we can’t figure out whether we should stand for Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, then let’s not have any vote ever.
Mayor Ian McLeod did acknowledge that this was not in accord with standard practice, but opened the floor to input from the councillors.
Councillor Frank Prevost expressed a desire that normal procedure of seeking input from administration be followed. He indicated that he was not opposed to the resolution, just not certain that it was necessary and wanted to give the two absent Council members further opportunity for input. The room resounded with boos in response.
Councillor Trevor Bougie gave his support to Prevost’s rationale.
A member of the audience asked that the resolution be read for their benefit just the same and was told that it was not available. Howard Galganov got to his feet and reminded Council that the CAO was indeed in possession of the resolution. CAO Derik Brandt did then acknowledge that he was in receipt of the resolution which was identical to the one passed by South Stormont, except that the final clause had been deleted. However, he declined to have it read at the meeting.
Will November 13, 2012 share a similar degree of fame as September 26th or will it be one of notoriety? Many eyes will be on South Glengarry Council at their next meeting in two weeks’ time, watching to see just how important human rights are to the Council. Any bets on whether or not the press and crowd will be back?
after South Glengarry Council deferred resolution
…we’re talking about the Charter of Rights, so why do you need a recommendation? It doesn’t make any sense to me … We opened the door for them in South Stormont; we made it easier for them. This is easy for them now. We stuck our necks out. It’s not an anti-French decision that we made; we give everybody the opportunity to put up their signs in any language. We didn’t mandate the use of any language on any sign. That’s what everybody wants. What threat is there? Why would anybody say it’s wrong to pass that.
after South Glengarry Council deferred resolution
These Councillors are used to having maybe ten [people in the gallery] and this decision to let this be delayed for two weeks, with the booing of at least 50-60 people, certainly makes a big impact. I’m sure they’ll have to think about this.
I don’t know why the decision is so hard; we have our young people overseas fighting for the very rights that they [South Glengarry Council] are unwilling to stand up for. It would be nice to see some Councillors, other than those in South Stormont, get the cahoonas to speak out for freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and all those rights that God gave us.
after South Glengarry non-vote
It’s quite disgraceful that the Council didn’t have the courage to even read the proposal. The excuses they gave were not good enough because they knew that there were people coming to listen, and they had the resolution … the basic thing is that they didn’t have the courage, and I think that they were intimidated by the number of French people in the audience. They were definitely intimidated.
“Jane Doe”, camera-shy former Quebecer living in South Glengarry:
I was in absolute shock. Coming here from the bordering province of Quebec, and having lived [there] and not having a constitution that anybody would stand up for, coming to Ontario thinking that the Canadian Constitution means something that people fought for and died for, to [tonight] watch any sense of Canadianism walk out that door, makes me ill in my belly. This isn’t about language; this is about human rights.
Our video clip shows Howard Galganov’s appeal to Council, Council’s response as well as comments made by supporters.
There you have it folks! In two week’s time we’ll report what the South Glengarry Council decides to do about this matter which has been placed before them.

Stella… Please hurry. You MUST wake up, run to your windows and pull the drapes. It’s 2012 my dear.
The ONLY people who have done (and are still doing) exactly what you wrote here and DO deserve exactly what you have said here in this quote are the FRENCH in Quebec. Yes, they are still at it with a new bill 593 as well.

@ Ken November Re: 15, 2012 at 4:29 pm POST
Great post Ken. You certainly nailed it.
Thanks, and you’re welcome as well.
Yes, Trudeau certainly truly did a good job at “recognizing” things.
Many important ones about the English we well. And, to the detriment of the majority of Canadians, (and I believe the country of Canada as well) he came up with a brilliant strategy to “advance his language and in kind, his people.”
Please have a look at this video.

It will pretty much tell you everything I would say if I were to respond by typing back to you here. I suspect you will also like, or at the very least, appreciate my latest video as well, which should be available soon.
I would appreciate if you could leave a message at my Youtube page to let me know what you thought.
Ken well said :
Now English wake up !!!!you do have a right to say somethIng for silence means consent and thus far silence for 40 years has created this.
OH Miss stella does your government job except that you post here and the freeloader constantly through your work hours .
Should the taxpayer pay your to spread propaganda for your personal; vendetta?
Now would you have your job if you were not bilingual?
So how does it feel that you were not the best applicant for your job ?But only the bilingual applicant.
Hey Stella! You wanna get a room? Just kidding.
This endless non-stop language battle sure is tiresome.
I hear that about a hundred min-wage jobs will be gone from Cornwall with the closing of the call center. What are these people gonna do now? Just about all the decent paying manufacturing jobs have disappeared from eastern Ontario, and now the min-wage jobs are drying up too.
Hey, Mr.Galganov, et al, We have far more serious issues to deal with than your personal language phobia. I know people in Red Deer Alta and Saskatoon Sask who really like living there. Might be time to give yourself a mental break and get away from your dreaded enemy. Anywhere west of Manitoba is pretty safe.
Good luck to you on your healing journey.
piper…….being bilingual was NOT A REQUIREMENT for my job…..capsih? BUT BEING BILINGUAL WAS A BONUS FOR ME as it would have been for many english people had they chose to learn french.
I guess being hired proved that I was the best person for the job and they know they did the right thing **smile** Because I made the right choices in life by learning both official languages, I never looked back.
Problem is Ed the Quebec tidal wave will start influencing everything West of Kingston and East of New Brunswick in 5-10 years time. Nice try though.
Ed thinking that is a wonderful idea!! **BG**
Know what Ed? You are absolutely right. Here we are on the verge of a third world war, especially if Iran or Egypt get involved and galganov, the shepherd and his sheep are concerned about language on signs. How pathetic!!!
We also are facing a major depression should the USA fall off the fiscal cliff and the gang is upset that SG didn’t give in to their wishes.
Another good point you brought up is the Cornwall economy. Those who don’t get hired or find a job blame it on language. The good jobs are few and far between especailly in a city of 46,000. They seem oblivious to everything else except language on signs……in places they don’t even live in, no less.
It is shameful!!! When one doesn’t have a life……they attempt to ruin someone else’s life.
@Ed RE: November 15, 2012 at 7:09 pm POST
— Yeah, and the other 100% of the jobs in a community with 4-8% French are designated “bilingual a essential.” Brilliant. Freekin messed up system that is. A re-balance definitely need on that one. Charles get my coat. We’re goin to a rally 🙂
Stella,
I deeply regret having learned French. There are downsides. I wrote almost perfect English before having spent too many years writing in French.
I also regret it because the racist French extremists do not deserve to have even one more person learn French !
I am very glad to know it for one reason though… it allows me to be able to read all of the racist comments about English people all over the Internet, thus giving me fuel and even more arguments. It’s a shame that they don’t even bother to try and hide their behavior and yet expect us to shut up and take it. Well, that won’t happen.
Ed,
Allow the minority to take over Ontario and you will soon face that same problems going on in QC and New Brunswick. French extremists are very proactive and if you do not do something before they do, you will have serious problems on your hands. That’s how they managed to pass most Bills. Most were saying nothing in an attempt to appease them. If you appease a child to much by allowing them to do what ever they want to do, what happens?
Good Lord Droits Humains, I sincerely hope you recover from the damage you suffered while learning a second language. Please take care of yourself and get well soon.
If South Glendary councillors pass the resolution, they already indicated they will castrate it…um…cut the last paragraph – paragraph that is the essence of the resolution’s intent. See (in bold) what the esteemed councillors are afraid of.
“Whereas the Constitution of Canada provides, in paragraph 2 (b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that everyone is entitled to freedom of expression;
And whereas Council of the Township of South Stormont believes that the economic and environmental well-being of the municipality requires that the constitutional right to freedom of expression be rigorously respected.
Now therefore be it resolved that Council fully supports local businesses in the municipality and encourages business owners to embrace the rights expressed in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms with respect to freedom of expression and furthermore, will not mandate the use of any language for advertising purposes in the Township of South Stormont, and therefore instructs staff to amend the municipal sign by-law in this regard.“
To edudorlik,
Thanks again Ed, I saw the video probably when it first hit the net’ it’s great. I have told other viewers, I think what you portray as a comedy may well be near the truth. I was so near the top in my job and know things that I am not prepared to state here. Sorry I decline to leave comment on Youtube, facebook, tweets or whatever because I don’t trust their so called “privacy rules”.
I signed up for facebook one time and before I could blink I had a page of so called friends, that I recognised, on screen. The only way that could happen is “Facebook” invaded my computer, while I was signing up, and stole personal data. I cancelled immediately.
To Stella:
You say you are bilingual and best qualified and that is why you got the job. Would you be so brave and tell us your surname?
I can speak and read French reasonably well but I was pressured out of my job simply because I am English. I was made aware of a most despicable plan to force me to quit, and I managed to do so.
I know of others who suffered likewise.
I have been to France several times and have no problem communicating there in French; they also have the international word “STOP” on their road signs. Though there was never a need for me to converse in French in my job it didn’t matter one bit.
The Francophones wanted me out and in fact put a very young totally unqualified person in my former position, proving language superseded qualifications and experience.
Go and talk to Anglophone Cornwall nurses who have been passed over for quite some time. Maybe then you will be properly informed on what we are all about.
OMG Helga. They don’t have a sign bylaw. You can’t amend a bylaw that doesn’t exist. That’s why they chopped the last clause. There’s no conspiracy! There’s also no need for this resolution because you can already use ANY LANGUAGE YOU WANT on signs in South Glengarry. This is a total waste of time. We should be focusing on organizations that have unfair bilingualism requirements.
Hey Ed, I too wish I had never learned French. To have spent so many hours in French classes only to be catagorized “limited ability” makes me sick. ”
You ask ? I hear that about a hundred min-wage jobs will be gone from Cornwall with the closing of the call center. What are these people gonna do now?
They can go back to Valleyfield where they come from.
Did South Stormont have a municipal by-law to amend?

Well said,
I do find it funny that francophones are the first to judge and call others bigot or racist.
“It’s a shame that they don’t even bother to try and hide their behavior and yet expect us to shut up and take it.”
So very true but they see themselves as superior.
Funny that most don’t even realize they are racist ..its starts through family and taught they see no harm in it they grew up with it.
That’s a red herring, Macdonald, that “you can already use ANY LANGUAGE YOU WANT on signs in South Glengarry.” Today, you can. But tomorrow, some French zealots with a personal agenda could impose mandatory bilingual signs, like they did in Russell. Now neither the English nor the French can use the language of their CHOICE on their own signs in Russell. This is a classic case of unfair bilingualism requirements. Denying freedom of expression undermines the very foundations of this country.
If SG does not have a sign bylaw at all, adopting a Freedom of Expression resolution would be a symbolic gesture of reaffirmation of this freedom.

Wonderful, AMAZING, EXCELLENT, superb ASTONISHING…
THIS BRILLIANT post say’s just about everything that deserves to be said regarding this issue and how the “French” and taking advantage. Not sure I would say “deeply regret” knowing French myself but, I would say that as a result of how unfair and unjust they are being I have been refusing to speak it lately.
You should accumulate all those racist comments the French say on the net and put them in a book. And, your right. They Don’t hide their behavior while at the same time get down right ornery if the English so as they do.
Again, thanks for shedding this light on those who are in the dark 🙂

As for the comment… That’s cool Ken. I can relate to that. No worry’s… or is that worries ? 🙂
New video should be ready soon. I will post it here or you can check my youtube page now and then over the next week or so.
PS: Your writing about this issue here is very “to the point” and quite familiar sounding to experiences I have had personally as well as stories others have told me.
The charter of rights and freedom does apply here. But, the charter did the charter prevent howard from spewing hateful propaganda towards francophones …NOPE.
– Any town should have the right to decide how it wants to be represented. From the size of a sign, to what is written on it, to the location of the signs should and I believe is legislated by by-laws.
– And the nerve of howard and the lfa, most complaints are from people that don’t even live in RUssell. Just to give himself legitimacy in this complaint howard G rented an empty business and posted a sign in front saying boycott french owned stores.
@Richard. That’s old and uninformed news. Move on will ya. Try & find some new lies and misinformation to spew.
Oh and, have a nice day eh… 🙂
…much of the name calling and hateful propaganda is from you Dick..all you have to do is read the blogs..show me numbers..percentages..something other than what you believe to be your inherent right..I’ll side with you if the numbers are correct and if it’s the voice of the majority..don’t care if you are english or french..I just want what the majority of Canadians want..is that too much to ask? I want bilingualism, but not at the expense of others..I want a fair shot at employment for every Canadian..french, english or bilingual. Is this undemocratic of me? Am I spreading hateful propoganda?
Droits Humains, if you are from Quebec, to be honest with you, we don’t care about their problems. If you are not from Quebec and feel sorry that you learned french then your problem is deeper then what you think **smile**
To help you out, I would suggest you give up your french culture, written and oral and join galganov and his flock of sheep. He will lead you to the promised land. See….like you he is ashamed of knowing french and is trying his best to eliminate the french culture……like wipe french off the face of the earth tu- comprends?. Thinking you would make a good pair. Perhaps after a few donations, he may even offer you a job, whereas, you would never have to talk or write in french ever again.
Richard tremblay November 16, 2012 at 5:20 am
The charter of rights is not worth the paper its written on as it has been violated so many times.
The notwithstanding clause being used to invalidate the charter of Rights numerous times by Quebec and federal institutions to protect bill 101.
The same bill that the united nations chastised for its violation of freedom of expression.
Another interesting fact is that the U.N. shows the conditions of discrimination eg: race,creed,color and the list goes on the difference between Canada and the U.N. Is Language .
In the U.N. charter you can descriminate by language yet in Canada this does not exist,WHY?
Ferris November 16, 2012 at 8:34 am
Well said we need common sense ,I would never agree to eliminate French services but ar the very,very,very most it should be representation by population .
Government has far surpassed the representation by population by doing this the Gov is discriminating against it majority.
Helga, maybe they’ll violate property rights. Let’s have them pass a resolution that they won’t do that. Maybe they’ll violate women’s rights. Let’s get them to pass a resolution that they won’t do that. Let’s think of the hundreds of things they could do wrong and ask them to pass a resolution that they won’t do any of them. What nonsense! What a waste of time! Why don’t we deal with actual problems with bilingualism that exist today instead of imaginary ones that might never happen? South Glengarry let’s you use ANY LANGUAGE YOU WANT on your sign and that’s what we want.
LFA and CFLF are what at this point?
If language and communicating effectively is not important than try going through one day without it.. don`t talk ,don`t listen ,don`t express yourselves in any form,,,,,see how much you can accomplish without communicating ..than watch as the other person struggles to understand what you are trying to communicate….language matters, understanding matters more…
To Stella and Tremblay:
You two are so immersed in critiquing Howard Galganov that you have no idea what he is doing, or DO YOU? I’ll tell you in plain English and maybe sometime you will be able to comprehend. He is fighting for freedom of rights and expression for every Canadian as defined in the Charter that has been manipulated by Quebec, and Townships like Russell. You cannot deny that Quebec has violated those rights and Freedoms and it’s happening in the rest of Canada.
I agree with you, townships, cities, countries have to have some rules but they should not include the right for anyone, or any authority, to legislate language contrary to the indigenous language of the region. Mandatory bilingual signs infer that the business, or whatever, has competency in both languages and that may not be true.
We people opposing the imposition of mandatory French are well aware of what is coming next. A bilingual sign today on a hitherto
Anglophone business will lead to mandatory bilingualism inside the business. Mandatory bilingualism favours Francophones in Government, Public Service, Hospitals, Schools et al and the next attempt will be to legislate Bilingualism in the spoken word on small business. It’s costing Canadians billions in bilingualism that only caters to Francophones.
It is easy for us to understand why you are so vehement and vitriolic in your critiques because you know your advantage hiding behind mandatory bilingualism and very afraid you might lose it.
If the CFLF anf LFA disregards the Charter of Rights and freedoms as evidenced in their own self published media and columns how can they invoke the Charter now? Without uderstanding the fundamentals of the Charter?
and before I or we get accused of ANYHING this is asking questions… communicating is part if that….does not mean we have to agree ..just asking!
To c’est drole et Touchez!
“If language and communicating effectively is not important than try going through one day without it.. don`t talk ,don`t listen ,don`t express yourselves in any form,,,,,see how much you can accomplish without communicating ..than watch as the other person struggles to understand what you are trying to communicate….language matters, understanding matters more…”
Interesting comment….
How is it that the unilingual Mohawk elders get by whenever in Cornwall I wonder then? I wonder if money traditionally earmarked for bilingualism should instead be used to promote the disappearing languages of the Six Nations and other Aboriginal languages in Canada. Seeing is our Aboriginal languages are disappearing for the most part. Remember folks, LFA wishes to promote fairness for all. I for one, would like to see money for bilingualism to go instead to the promotion and use of Aboriginal languages.

Droits Humains…….please be careful in engaging a dangerous witch such as Stella. She has a fantastic tendency to become an itch you cannot scratch and a rash you just cannot seem to eliminate once it becomes present. Even whenever you think you have the infection eradicated – much like a parasite she seems able to keep hooked to your intestine much to your chagrin I’m afraid…
And as for the, “we don’t care about their problems” [sic] Quebec, the rest of us do care as LFA members and are proud Canadians who have taken part in protests and demonstrations in that province. WE believe in helping out our fellow Canadians. And in case you aren’t aware Droits Humains, Stella has cried wolf a few times on this blog already stating that she has had a French friend who lost out on a job to an English applicant. No fewer than at least three members of LFA offered our services to help her friend out. We are still awaiting Stella’s response on that one. We LFA believe that nobody should lose out on a job due to unfair labour laws.
Stella goes on,
“To help you out, I would suggest you give up your french culture, written and oral and join galganov and his flock of sheep. He will lead you to the promised land.

Whenever anyone (French, English, non-English, non-French) express anything remotely approaching support for the eradication of these unfair hiring practices that favour one group, Stella and her cohorts will jump on you and usually she will lead the character assasination through comments such as the one above. I will admit, Droits Humains, you can see from my above comment towards Stella I have even began to engage in this form of debate as well. We get so frustrated as to this behaviour that we in the end end up engaging in this type of silliness. (I guess though that this is what they want – the derailing of the issue and making this a French vs. English issue). So, I guess you can call it fighting fire with fire with our eventual comments. One has to admit however, it would be much simpler if admin. simply didn’t post her comments altogether it seems…

You see Droits Humains, insisting that the CLF and LFA groups disregard the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is simply propaganda.

If the public only new how bad, how corrupt, how devious these people really are…
In June 1974 the provincial government of Quebec brought forward Bill 22, to make Joual (French patois) the only Official Language of Quebec and remove English from as an Official language in the province.
This measure was planned by a Cabal of conspirators, consisting of Pierre-Philippe (Elliott) Trudeau, René Lévesque, Jean Marchand, Jean-Luc Pépin and Gérard Pelletier that met at M. Pelletier’s home on Elm Street in Westmount, Quebec.
The meeting was held on November 22, 1963 the day that U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas and was to have a great impact on Canadians. The purpose of the meeting was just as deadly as the killing of JFK was to the Americans because the members of this Cabal were looking for a way to take complete control of Canada and make it a Métis (Canadien) Nation.
What English-speaking Canadians have not realized is that not one of the members at that meeting; one of whom became Prime Minister and the rest senior Ministers of the Canadian government were from their English-speaking community and everything the Cabal did was done in secret to keep them in the dark.
The Trudeau/Levesque plan was to make the majority of English speakers powerless by quick body blows to their community, something that they would never have expected to come from the Métis minority, whom they had assumed, were without power.
They also overlooked another important group of cooperating conspirators, that being the very, very powerful Catholic Church of Quebec whose tentacles reached far and wide across Canada through other Catholic institutions that were not Métis, but were linked to them through the Catholic hierarchy. Unfortunately, the Catholic Churches of English-speaking Canada were in open support of their Métis Catholic brethren in Quebec without understanding the real Quebecois Cabal game plan.
The Cabal’s grand plan was to first make Quebec a UNILINGUAL Joual-speaking (French patois) province, and once past that hurdle to extend the deceit by pushing for BILINGUALISM throughout the rest of Canada. These people were not and are not playing for small potatoes, but are working to take over Canada one province at a time.
BILINGUALISM is in reality a foisting of the JOUAL LANGUAGE (French patois) on the whole of English-speaking Canada, but at the same time making sure that Quebec remains UNILINGUAL Joual. In effect, they employ a pseudo BILINGUALISM to conquer Canada without firing a single shot. Such was the deviousness of the CABAL, that they have convinced the English-speaking majority of Canada into accepting their own demise as a community by guile and deception.
“First Quebec, then we take over the rest of the country, one step at a time…through bilingualism…” PT, “How to take over a country through bilingualism…” SD. How ? First comes the right to communicate with gov’t in a minority language (ie French),then comes bilingualism, then comes the right to work in the language of choice(ie French), then comes a bilingual boss,(ie French) then comes a exclusively French department and on it goes until its all French. Its happening all over the country, Ontario, New Brunswick…That’s what’s really going on.
“My roll as Secretary of State of Canada is first and foremost to ensure that my French compatriots in Canada feel with deep conviction, as I do, that this is their country and that it reflects their image”. “I too had some difficult years as a politician; I’m still having them, in fact, because everything we undertake and everything we are doing to make Canada a French state is part of a venture I have shared for many years with a number of people”. “You know the idea, the challenge, the ambition of making Canada a French country both inside and outside Quebec — an idea some people consider a bit crazy, is something a little beyond the ordinary imagination”. – Serge Joyal, Secretary of State – Page 2 ‘ENOUGH’ by J.V. Andrew. – Serge Joyal – Now in the Senate.
Go learn our proud, real BNA and UEL history. These were the builders of our country since 1763. Not this phony, revisionist lie, this bilingual, multicultural, 2 founding nations, linguistic duality lie, propaganda, spin that we’ve been living with since Trudeau, and kebec forced this upon the nation. We’ve been part of the British Empire since 1763 and officially an English speaking country for over 200 years…just a fact.
Bilingualism – This is THE biggest scam, the biggest fraud and lie ever forced upon the Canadian public. People have no idea what this man Trudeau did to this country.
“Quebec can make French the only official language in spite of the Constitution”. Pierre Trudeau, .
.” ….Given these facts, should French-speaking people concentrate their efforts on Quebec or take the whole of Canada as their base? In my opinion, they should do both; and for the purpose they could find no better instrument than federalism”, Pierre Trudeau,.
“I cannot swear it but I think we were thinking to ourselves,… we are a small group, Trudeau, Pelletier, Marchand, Lalonde, Chrétien, myself and a few people in the civil service, say 50 all told…we were bringing off a revolution. We held the key posts. We were making the civil service bilingual (French), kicking and screaming all the time”. Jean-Luc Pepin, Minister of Industry, 1970.
See what’s really going on? Our history, culture and language is under attack and has been for decades. The proof is all around; just open your eyes and your mind and you will see it.
And just like daddy, Justin Trudeau supports a French only Kebec (bill 101) and forced French (bilingualism) all over the country. Nice eh? Typical Kebec hypocrite.

“Droits Humains, if you are from Quebec, to be honest with you, we don’t care about their problems.”
But we do care when Canadians are discriminated against by language whether it be Quebec,New Brunswick,Ontario it is a systemic discrimination provided by the government and a small interest groups of which Stella you are a part of.
The question is why not respect the charter and put forward a bylaw that encourages respecting the charter?

Ken wrote, “We people opposing the imposition of mandatory French are well aware of what is coming next. A bilingual sign today on a hitherto
Anglophone business will lead to mandatory bilingualism inside the business. Mandatory bilingualism favours Francophones in Government, Public Service, Hospitals, Schools et al and the next attempt will be to legislate Bilingualism in the spoken word on small business. It’s costing Canadians billions in bilingualism that only caters to Francophones.
So damn well said Ken. PERFECTION…
— And just as it did in Quebec. It starts with one small, “oh, don’t worry it’s just this one little thing. It’s no big deal.” Then, before you know it.. whammo… Six hundred thousand people leaving Quebec as a result of English language being outlawed.
And Stella, (just in case, and on the remote chance that someone could say something that would SINK into your one track mind) the reason why people care about what happens in Quebec is because we care about our fellow Anglophones that have to put up with the CR@P that is going on there. PLUS, it is now happening elsewhere and unlike Quebec where we all just “let it happen” we ARE NOT about to let that happen elsewhere. We are being pre-emptive.
Ferris, I have shown my numbers, I have shown sites that prove how discriminatory the galganov gang is. You probably agree that promoting the extermination of a language and culture is ok, under the guise of freedom of expression…i disagree.
– cory, In 2010 -2012, the amount the department of Affaires indiennes received was 6 104 047 036. This is more then twice what is being allocated on bilingualism. Are you going to be fair and ask natives to stop collecting money from the federal government and pay for their own expenses.
(Link to prove the amount.)

I’ll give you some advice cory, and this might sound harsh but your a big boy. Mon père m’a toujours dit, quand tu ne sais pas de quoi tu parles, tu te la fermes.
STELLA,
We still haven’t seen you mention your surname yet.
Would it be one that would get you places based on language rather than merit?
We know from which direction Richard is coming of course.
Sadly you both have your heads so far in the sand I don’t think you have any idea what a Charter of Rights and Freedoms is or means. Maybe you think it means you can do anything you please, no limits, no restrictions, in other words total Anarchy.
First of all Ken….when all your cohorts come out, I will give it some thought. **smile** I could also do like some others here and give a false name.
cory the only reason you support Quebec is because your gang couldn’t get enough support locally but you will never admit it. You were turning in circles, changed the LFA name 3 times, didn’t know what direction to take until your savior the big g came to save the day.
cory, you can come here and drag me through the mud every chance you get and that is alright by you. Know what? It’s time you come out of your fantasy world and see things the way they really are. How funny…..you forever accuse people of things that you yourself are guilty of and constantly do.
You cory are one of the main reasons that many intelligent and nice people quit coming here. The insults, the personal attacks, the name calling and the put downs. Let me give you one example. Les habitants……..(remember him) who had a severe case of arthiritis was ridiculed by you guys for his typing mistakes. It was so disgusting and humiliating, he quit coming here. Need I name more? Common is the only word that comes to mind to describe that type of behavior.
But guess what cory? It’s not going to happen to me…..got that? I AM HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL….whether you like it or not **smile** Further more until you become the adm. you have no right to say who can and can not post…….ca-vas? **smile** So in other words….MYOB.
actually I was thinking of having a “Whine & Cheeze) 😉 party here in Cornwall and inviting our commentators out for an evening…
Jamie………WELCOME BACK!!!!!! *BIG HUGS*
Does that include me…..LMAO!!!!
I should hope that everyone that posts here regularly would drop by…
Too busy, hope it’s not saturday night i’ll be in Montreal watching the GSP condit fight.
“actually I was thinking of having a “Whine & Cheeze) 😉 party here in Cornwall and inviting our commentators out for an evening…”
Good Lord! You’d be seeing some serious fur flying!
Knew you could not stay away long Jamie … Hope your creative juices flowed . my friends and I would go to your whine and Cheeze … 3 things not to be discussed politics, religion and politics.. right? :O)
Great Idea Jamie! All those who use pseudonyms can wear a plain paper bag over their heads (with eye hole cut outs of course). I’ll bring the coffee, or café if you prefer.

Ah Stella the queen of propaganda ,you continue to twist,turn the issue like your old friend ain’t she couldn’t take the pressure and wow jean Holden came out then changed her call sign yet again and everyone knew who she was.
You did comment in your usuall form under ctv article right Julie .L..
Your spin and lies continue LFA never changed their name!
KEN not to worry Stella is your local blogs bully ,but like most bullies she lacks self esteem and projects her anger onto others right Julie.L.?
Are you feeling lonely perhaps through your vendetta you will.meet some young idealized (Brainwashed) separatist?
Perhaps your only hope two lost idealized separatist.
Hell Jamie could be a good story line?Eh?
Either way Julie .L Howard works in collaboration with other language rights groups,and you….well you still sit alone behind your desk at work and home by yourself wallowing in self pitty and lonely hoping to feel better by throwing insults and demeaning others through bullying and misinformation
That is why Julie .L . Stellapropaganda does suit you!
Jamie
Wine and cheese?hmmmm perhaps ,would have been better as a costume party ?
Great to see you back ,how’s was it ?Did you enjoy yourself?
Did you get into any trouble?
Questions,Questions,need info!
Well Stella you refused to mention to all of the readers that I told Les Habs that if his wrists were that sore I had mentioned to him the computer programs of DragonSpeak software and a Dynavox. It was an actual good natured offered form of advice I gave him. I guess you forgot about that too. This absolutely proves that you are of a one track mind. (I never made light nor fun of him about his/her arthritis. Others may have but not me dear dullbright. Don’t lump me in with others. I know you don’t believe in individualism but try so with me, thanks).
It’s by no stretch that I can drag your moniker and not your real name through the mud either. For the most part you do it yourself. Seeing is your’re too much of a coward to give us your real name, dullbright. Again, no excuses either. I care not to hear Highlander’s real name as I’m sure you’ll allude to that as well and avoid giving your name.
Refocus, dodge, duck and exit.
Keep doing what your best at.
I’m counting on it,
Tete Carree
Jamie, I would come by if Stella weren’t there. I would be too tempted to wipe that smug self-satisfied smile off her face.
That’s fine, though. Since she fails to realize that Howard Galganov (when it comes to language) is a moderate, she will have only herself to blame when the extremists take charge.
(Funn that she says Quebec is not the issue when it obviously is; were it not for the racist francophones there, no way would their brethren be allowed to force their wishes on an unsuspecting English Canada.)
I am heartened and delighted by most of the comments here. We need to continue speaking out, drowning out the racist francophones, and FORCING our politicians to listen.
Someone give McDonald’s head a shake. Does he just not get it? Unless WE fight for our rights, the racist freancophones will take them away. They did it in Kaybec, they are doing it in NB. They did it in Russell Township. Lines must be drawn.
Tremblay claims that 6 104 047 036 was twice what was spend on Frenchification. Since when is 20 billion less than 6, Tremblay? Remember, we trust the calculations of Jim Allan, an ACCOUNTANT for 20 years, far more than government figures, which we know are motivated to show as little of the actual spending as possible—otherwise the extremists Stella laughs at would rain down on her and her ilk so quickly it would make her screwed-up little head spin off. So use the $20 BILLION figure. Hell, even the lowball $10 BILLION estimate. Go ahead and justify that expense to the nine (eight?) English provinces. If you can.
All in all, well done, folks! Let us not stop confronting our elected representatives and make sure that NO racist language laws are passed. That is only the first step.
Canada has no need to be more French than Kaybec is English. That is our rallying cry. Because there is NO BILINGUALISM in Canada. ONLY Frenchification.
