Imagine walking into a Service Ontario location and being served. Now imagine sitting in a comfortable chair and having a voice/video link with a government office. Now imagine speaking in one of say 5 main languages with a real person just like at a counter. Using technology to help people is not new, you can even get an app on your smart phone to detect where your metal property line marker is. Of course that app would not help to get your new license plates or help order a new health card but there is technology that can.
Surely with a bit of planning and will, we can create something to help more people get things done in a manner that concentrates on citizens needs. Some bank machines already provide several languages to use, there are 9-1-1 call centers that instantly connect to translation services that can cover 140 languages and we have had hearing/speech impaired interfaces for years.
Why can’t we have a central station in say Toronto with round the clock operators that can provide assistance in several languages? Assistance for health cards, some translation and real time support. If after a hundred plus years of language issues that no one seems ready to discuss and work towards solutions, the least we can do is help people that need it, is that not what multiculturism & bilingualism was about? Language duality is a wonderful concept but really, after 40 plus years of the Official Languages Act, 26 years of the Ontario French Languages Services Act and billions of dollars, the percentage of bilingual Canadians has remained stagnant outside of Quebec, but let’s put technology to work for the benefit of all Canadians even as a trial, each Ontario ministry already has a language coordinator, give them technology as well,and stop saying why we can’t do something, ask your MP and MPP how we can!

“You have no Idea what happens in the background ,but your more then willing to attempt to control the scenario and to instruct how to do it .(valiant effort ,but lack of vision)”
The absence of having a clear Resolution to debate and bring ACTION to all this, remains in my opinion a mish mash of views and opinions. That’s all. No more than aimless conversation.
I didn’t realize that expressing my opinion was an attempt to control. It is my opinion based on my observations. And believe me I’m not alone in my observations and assessment.
“We on the other hand are a collective of grass roots movements NOT ON THE TAXPAYERS DOLE ,and requesting for equal rights ,all volunteer’s and an ever growing voice …..there is nothing like being treated as a second class and alienation to drive for the spirit of change!”
If you present yourselves as a “collective of grass roots movements” in this Public forum then you are claiming that you have a collective organizational structure and accountability.
It’s not because a group is made up of volunteer’s that the public has any less right to question your approach and direction or lack there of.
Your “collective grass root movement “is debating their Agenda in a Public forum. And as a member of the public I have the right to my opinion that this group lacks DIRECTION. After all you claim to be ADVOCATES of equal rights. How more public does it have to be for you expose your ACTION PLAN and strategy to affect change. It’s not National Security material.
“But leave it to us to voice our concerns and not create a strategy on this site ,as the best chest moves are the ones well thought out WELL in advance and your opponent remains unaware of.”
You have had 2 and half years to develop an action plan and strategy to affect reform the unfair Hiring Practices in Cornwall. How is that coming along ? I haven’t seen any press releases.
Your voice must be suffering a bad case of laryngitis because it’s not being heard.

FALSE ……It was not the Official Languages act as you claim, It was the The Languages French Service Act of Ontario. That was 27years ago.
“GO AHEAD THERE LIVES FOR LIES -START HER UP …WE WILL BE WORKING IN THE BACKGROUND .”
I have nothing to start up. Planning and developing a strategy that has clarity and purpose for my imaginary followers has been a way of life.

I believed that this post that you took the liberty to answer was addressed to Eric. If you want to respond to the questions at least make an effort to provide accuracy.
Stella like you… “I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT COMMENTS RE: WHETHER PEOPLE ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS IN QUEBEC OR NOT.”
What i said and asked YOU was
do you think your
“CANADA THE LAND OF THE FREE………LET’S KEEP IT THAT WAY!!!!!”
mantra is something that would apply to these unilingual English Friends of yours if they started a business and wanted to to PUT AN ENGLISH ONLY SIGN ON THEIR (private property) PLACE OF BUSINESS in Quebec ?? ?
NO.. and thus proving that PEOPLE in the province of Quebec ARE NOT SO FREE as you claim this country is.
And also, you never commented on or answered any of these questions Stella.
Stella wrote, “That is nothing compared to what the freedom fighters are trying to do……..SEPARATE THIS COUNTRY.”
I ask you Stella… WHO? Please tell us ALL who was the first to mention separating and as a matter of fact they still have many elements involved who are “trying” to do just that RIGHT NOW.
You seem to have no problem saying that others are trying to separate this country. Why can’t you admit that it was the your clan, the French who came up with the idea and were the first to attempt to separate twice.
Imagine if the English had tried to separate from Quebec “first” they would still be condemning the English for “trying” to do such a thing.
Tell us Stella, please tell us who started this talk? Who had two referendums to try to do exactly that? Was it the English people in this country Stella? Was it Anglo’s in Ontario ?
Who were the first PEOPLES to “try to separate” this wonderful country? My god Stella, you must know the answer to this.
Here’s a couple of clues for ya Stella.

Tower of Babel.
Don’t consider history, forget common sense and throw caution to the wind. Political correctness is the way to go. After all, are we not so much happier and content with our lives and situations now that we have people telling us what we want to hear ?
Society with the advent of multiculturalism, official bilingualism, religious tolerance and the embracing of the sexes has in the last 35 years moved us into the position we hold today.
The envy of the known world.
The real problem is that far too many people believe this to be true. What a load of crap !

Oh folks do you get that inflated sense superiority again.
This person has Delusions of Grandeur,So which of the french language groups are supporting you ?
Being that you do not agree as well on the local hiring policies what actions have you started and hope to implement?
What is YOUR workable sustainable strategy with regards to fixing the local hiring inequality and how do YOU go about to implement YOUR strategy ?
Have you the french rights groups supporting YOUR action plan ?
Being you seem very intent on YOUR organizational structure what have you implemented so far to change local hiring policies?
Being that you seem preoccupied with Our approach to change ,It is your opportunity to shine and set up YOUR team to change the unfair hiring policies which YOU say you do not agree with as you did say:
” Believe me my friend many have been and are glad to have me lead their team and be an equal valued member of their team.”
Instead of the long repeated dialogue on how others are to do it ,why dont you put YOUR plan into Action to change the hiring policies.
Or is this all “HOT AIR ” OR A DIVISIONAL TACTIC.
Hey the ball is in your court put your money where your words are!
You don’t believe in local hiring policies you believe you have solutions ,start making a difference …..Sh** or get off the pot!

Yes passing bill 80 is part of the collective groups wants and have been advocating for.
Like I said “lives for lies” lots of work in the background !
So either SH** or get off the pot ,or is your intent to create dissent within or derision of peoples who want equality and riddance of our unfair language laws.
When you get wild people like Curzi, in this link, how does that make ROC feel? http://publications.mcgill.ca/reporter/2013/05/official-bilingualism-celebrated-criticized-at-misc-conference/
Certainly, issues involving the updating of the 1969 Official language Act in 1988 for the Charter from 1982 (and 2005, plus Language Skills Act 2012) are creating problems. Unlike the within certain limits Canadians can deal with federal institutions in the official language of their choice which is not much of a problem there!
In designated bilingual regions employees of these institutions can work in the official language of their choice. This loses sight of the citizen using the service, also, does this mean anyone with a phone on their desk has to be able to respond in the language requested?
Also causing management positions to be bilingual which directly affects this 3rd point……
English speaking and French speaking Canadians have equal opportunities to obtain employment and advancement in federal institutions. We see that this is not the case from job postings!
So Quebec wishes to ban all religious symbols in all public places……..
http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/proposed-quebec-values-could-ban-all-religious-symbols-in-public-buildings-1.1418860
Hymmm. Well, let’s call out Richard Tremblay and a few others who once (not-to-long ago I might add), insisted to me that Quebec treated it’s minorities better than the rest of Canada treated its minorities.
“The QMI article states burqas, turbans, hijabs, yarmulkes, and crosses would not be permitted in any public office, including courts, police stations, hospitals, or government offices.”
(Taken from: http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/proposed-quebec-values-could-ban-all-religious-symbols-in-public-buildings-1.1418860)
“While conducting their commission, professor Taylor and historian Gerard Bouchard found, early on, that Quebecers were almost paranoid with fear that Muslims were taking over society. Taylor and Bouchard found those fears were not rooted in reality, and said that Quebec should work to integrate all citizens.”
(Taken from: http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/proposed-quebec-values-could-ban-all-religious-symbols-in-public-buildings-1.1418860)
What a quagmire of crap this province has created for itself. And again, it should be mentioned that all of this and more continues to happen on a daily basis in that province. More racism, more anti-English/anti-immigrant hatred – and all of it increasingly becoming not only the opinion of millions of Quebecers; but this ethnocentric, Xenophobia is being coded into their legal system for Christ’s sake!
And you, the politicians and people of Canada, either turn a blind eye to all of this or sit idly by watching Big Brother at night; with not a care in the world as your nation slowly crashes and burns. Oh well, right, so long as your favourite celebrity wins Dancing with the Stars, what the hell do you care?
It frightens me to the point now where I am having trouble sleeping. This is Germany all over again folks; circa 1930’s. The starting up of Quebec-style Nuremberg laws that are outlawing everything of culture that is non-Francophone in nature in the Province of Quebec.
“According to QMI the crucifix in the National Assembly, a gift from the Catholic Church in 1936, would be considered an icon of cultural heritage and so would remain in the house of laws.”
(Taken from: http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/proposed-quebec-values-could-ban-all-religious-symbols-in-public-buildings-1.1418860#ixzz2cnbjNd9E)
So, one icon of cultural heritage is considered okay in the house of laws? And this happens to be the icon of the traditional religion of Quebec?
We’re going to see Civil War in our lifetimes, folks. I don’t write this lightly nor do I even endorse it. But let me tell you, if Quebec doesn’t separate whether on it’s own accord or by the decision of the other provinces; this once peaceful nation will be doomed.
Either that, or the West will walk; citing Quebec and Eastern Ontario as belonging to another bygone era and wanting nothing to do with these Draconian laws and backward social/linguistic policies that Quebec and Eastern Ontario are currently adopting.
Jamie, about 6 months ago you had asked me about what was with us guys and comparing what was going on in Quebec with Nazi Germany.
We saw this coming ever since this latest PQ government was elected. And this is where we’re at today.
Commenting on the loss of Freedom of Expression at the South Stormont Meeting of September 26, 2012, Howard Galganov said the following:
“Because if you think it stops just with language…I got news for you; that’s where it begins!”
(Taken from: http://cornwallfreenews.com/2012/09/south-stormont-historic-vote-to-support-charter-allow-language-of-choice-on-commercial-signs-hd-video/)
Cory one kind of religious icon is fine if you consider ONLY that this nation was founded by and rooted in Christianity.
HOWEVER we in our evolution as a “Just Society” endeavoured and promised to embrace all with equality. We promoted the concept of cultural diversity, multiculturalism and yes we even promoted the thought, word and action of separatism. Your tax dollars supported the Bloc Party in part, by virtue of our electoral laws and political system.
The notion that we might see a civil war in the not to distant future in my opinion would have very little to do with Quebec as a province but more likely with our unrealistic idealism of trying to please all instead of simply remaining true to our roots.
Perhaps if our focus was more centralized on what a Canadian was then people entertaining the thought of immigrating here would know well in advance what kind of nation to expect.
Unfortunately Cory, we have created the concept that anyone is welcome to come here and mold the country to suit their own agendas. We do not embrace traditions or promote unity but rather continually find new ways to showcase differences and expect that harmony of existence will be the end result.
One day the we will awaken from this dream to face our true reality and I sincerely hope and pray that civil war is not in our future. History often however does repeat itself and at this point and time we as a nation do not seem to be overly cognizant of problems currently being faced by other nations around the globe.
What else can I say? Keep the faith !
CORY WROTE: Hymmm. Well, let’s call out Richard Tremblay and a few others who once (not-to-long ago I might add), insisted to me that Quebec treated it’s minorities better than the rest of Canada treated its minorities.

cory wrote: More racism, more anti-English/anti-immigrant hatred – and all of it increasingly becoming not only the opinion of millions of Quebecers;
OMG……Montreal was built on immigrants. Quebec is one of the provinces (other then BC and now Ontario) who are mostly populated by immigrants. How can we be a racist and anti immigrant country when a 130,000 enter our country each year?
cory wrote: that Quebecers were almost paranoid with fear that Muslims were taking over society.
Quebecers are not the only ones. When one sees what is happening in the Middle East many are concerned, especially knowing how Muslims believe they will rule the world one day in the name of Allah…..

galganov the fearless leader of the freedom fighter gang once said: Because if you think it stops just with language…I got news for you; that’s where it begins!”
That will go down in history as one of the famous quotes of all times. The freedom fighters are claim war is on the horizon, fasten your seat belts folks they are out for the kill and proud of it even if it means destroying a peaceful nation.

An Act to designate Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week in Schools and to provide for bullying prevention curricula, policies and administrative accountability in schools.
As usual just another misleading inaccurate piece of information. I can see why you work in the background. This way you can hide while you create your lies and deceptions. Advocating

Being able to recognize ones ability does not create a psychological disorder. But when someone is motivated at belittling a person it can be taken out of context and
manipulated to discredit or minimize ones accomplishments.
“Being that you do not agree as well on the local hiring policies what actions have you started and hope to implement?”
I started by evaluating the seriousness and direction of a “collective of grass roots movement” that claims to be Social Rights Activists, advocating it’s Agenda in a Public forum on behalf of those affected by the unfairness of CCH Hiring Practices.
I offered many suggesting that could lend itself for debate that could bring change. My every effort was met with an adversarial attack. Resulting in being called a racist, a french ethnocentric, a creator of lies, a controller, suffering from delusions of grandeur,
having an inflated sense superiority, I’m filled with hot air, I’m a kool-aid drinking fool and that’s just to name a few.
So based on my observations I can assertively conclude that this “collective of grass roots movement” does not promote inclusion of all. They are predisposed to banish any voice that reflects a contrasting opinion from theirs.
“Being that you seem preoccupied with Our approach to change ,It is your opportunity to shine and set up YOUR team to change the unfair hiring policies which YOU say you do not agree with as you did say:”
Your comments reveal to all that you have no strategy nor plan to advance the reversal of these Unfair Hiring Practices. I, and many others of this community have reason to be preoccupied with a group that claims to be the VOICE advocating for change but has not succeeded to affect change with any measurable results in 3years, it’s preoccupying.
“Hey the ball is in your court put your money where your words are!”
I thought the ball was in court? Are you not the ones organizing Protest rallies, and telling any one that wants to listen that this is an abomination. Leading every one to believe that your VOICE is being heard.
“Or is this all “HOT AIR ” OR A DIVIRSIONAL TACTIC.”
Your attempt of castrating me and bastardizing my experience to divert from my previous comments, only emphasizes their accuracy. And I’m not at all surprised that you revert to DIVERSITIONAL TACTICS and school yard bullying to any
one that points out the obvious.
The absence of having a clear Resolution to debate and bring ACTION to all this, remains in my opinion a mish mash of views and opinions. That’s all. No more than aimless conversation. I didn’t realize that expressing my opinion was an attempt to control. It is my opinion based on my observations. And believe
me I’m not alone in my observations and assessment.
I agree with what you wrote Cory and i was VERY IMPRESSED with the sense of feeling that came across in your words also…
That being said, i would like to also say to you David (and i am sure you will Agree Cory)
That your response was absolutely BRILLIANT

Galganov reportedly had an activist history. His grandfather, a Russian Jew, came to Canada to escape communism. In the 1960s, as a member of the Jewish Defence League, Galganov threw coffins on the Soviet embassy lawn in Ottawa to protest the treatment of Jewish . Some say that we become products of our enviroment.
And these are some of Howard Galganov’s favotite words that had him fired from CIQC-AM.in Montreal in 1998.
“… ethnocentric separatists asses…”
“… ethnocentric crap…”
“… ethnocentric separatists asses…”
“… racist separatist Parti Québécois government …”
“…Québécois nationalist scum…”
“…You’re congratulating this piece of puke in St.Lazare.”
“…Gérard, screw off, don’t call here anymore, you’re a racist pig.”
“… these pathetic under-achieving jerk-offs…”
“… I think he’s a puke”
These are a few xcerpts taken from the Letter of complaint lodged against Howard Galganov to the CRTC that had him canned. We see these words appear in many posts. And we also read and feel the influence of this arrogance and disrespect posted when someone disagrees with an opinion.
Interesting post HFTT.
I see this word inclusion thrown around often, mostly from Francophone camps. I hope you don’t think that people in this part of Ontario are not working / living / growing side by side with Anglophones & Francophones every day. Most are living the inclusive lifestyle and want the same things. Possibly that is less government interference / programs / photo ops / trying to fix things in everybody’s kitchen pot.
I doubt that either side is alone in their observations and assessment either, but combating taxpayer funding of so many organizations is like creating a storm in a glass of water.
From what I see most Anglophones don’t pick up pots and march the streets, perhaps they need to change that!
@ Stella. I think even the freedom-fighters would get bored whining and chewing among themselves, and patting each other on the back in a private chat-room. On the other hand, maybe not. They seem to have enough angst and outrage to keep themselves occupied for a while, at least.

I recall he did type that several times…
Hey FURTZ I don’t understand your surprise unless you missed elementary school . Most educated or even semi literate individuals are aware that there were two founding nations. Hence the names of places is without concern.

It speaks volumes when a group wants to recluse themselves to an “in Camera” session so they will not be “bothered” by what they perceive to be their adversaries. I always thought a debate needed for and against participants. Otherwise it’s just allot

It’s not only the government that is causing interference and trying to fix everybody’s kitchen pot.
Howard Galhanov the self-proclaimed language rights activist has embarked on a campaign against the Ontario township of Russell’s bylaw that requires all businesses in the area to have
bilingual signs in both French and English.
Using the Russel township bylaw as a pretext, Howard Galganov is waging war against democracy and a group of individuals singled out because of their language: francophones.
Howard Galganov is not a resident of Russel township. To my knowledge he rented a storefront there and became a member of the chamber of commerce on June 18th, 2008.
Howard Galganov does not believe the people of the township have the right to decide for themselves what laws meet their own community standards. Nor is he merely supporting local opponents of the law. He is forcing himself and his ideas into someone else’s family affair.
That, however, is a minor detail compared to the much darker side of his crusade.
Yet, Howard Galganov asks his supporters to punish only the French-speaking business owners. This kind of radicalism does not promote harmony and inclusiveness for all. It lends it’s self to
creating exclusion and divisions. It’s not just the government. Sometimes it can be individuals or groups with extremist Agendas. Under the guise of Languages Fairness.
“From what I see most Anglophones don’t pick up pots and march the streets, perhaps they need to change that!”
Have another look Eric much can be hidden under the guise of Language Fairness, You might discover a whole different reality. Not just the French pick up pots and march in the streets.
The drum beats in French & English in this part of our world anyways.
Go for it Kilroy. Yous guys should organize a coast to coast tour, hitting every French named town, and demand that they pass legislation to Anglicize their names. Your mighty leader, Galganov, has lots of experience tuning in small town councils. It might seem like a big challenge, but if you do it one town at a time, it just might be worth the effort.
One battle at a time!
Fight on!

Thank-You for the info I stand corrected. The Ontario Government
web site shows Bill 80 as an Anti Bullying Legislation. This new Bill is only in it’s first reading and will be debated on September 12.
Hopefully the error will be corrected if it makes it through to ascent.
I still don’t understand why a collective group that advocates Language Rights would be advocating for a Bill that has no relevance to language. The subject of the Bill is fairness for Construction workers not Languages.
Highlander August 23, 2013 at 7:40 am
“Yes passing bill 80 is part of the collective groups wants and have been advocating for.”

So you made a fault your only human but will you admit the fault is another story …..that pride of yours has already burned you before .
You not worry your confused head about what goes on in the background.
But YOU do seem obsessed by it ,YOU feel you have the solutions go ahead start a movement but you are a rudderless self appointed captain looking for shipmates.
Perhaps you could take some of your unwarranted advice and run with it demand change through your approach or is all of your ranting just that ……..RANTING ?

Offered suggestions? Perhaps hftT but, suggestions coming from someone who has aligned himself with the likes of miss not so bright adds an element of caution for anyone that may entertain the idea of considering such so called “suggestions.”
After all, one definitely is likely to be judged by the company they keep and as Lenny Zakatek often stated, “you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas”

Resulting in being called a racist, a french ethnocentric, a creator of lies, a controller, suffering from delusions of grandeur, having an inflated sense superiority, I’m filled with hot air, I’m a kool-aid drinking fool and that’s just to name a few. “
I do not believe I can personally be accused of the use of most terms on this list but, if memory serves… Ah yes, I do remember now, I did get a clear sense that there was an element of control coming from much of your diatribe which frankly, I sense quite often when i read your posts. So I guess I am guilty (if that is a just term) of using “controller.” My plea is guilty with just cause.
The real question in all of this is WHY? Why show up in some forum —
(open to all yes, but initially clearly focused around a group of like minded folks supporting each other in the face of unjust hiring practices at a Cornwall hospital which turns out to be but a small microcosm of what we all (through our banter) then come to realize is a much bigger picture of the many unjust situations and events that exist in just about every corner of this country right now at the hands of one particular group that has hijacked a large flow of mostly Anglophone cash, the judicial system and much of the government – both levels– )
— and attack and belittle the people that represent that issue and who are simply trying to support each other?
The objective seems clear enough but, how much are they paying you?
Sure, we know Stella has no life and likely truly believes most of the backward ironic cr@p she spews from her very bitter sense of being. And to be honest, she provided a great avenue to hone our arguments with regarding this issue so thanks *s* 🙂

“the English are the best treated minority anywhere.” — Till the French get done with their ethnic cleansing.
“No one is forcing the English to learn French” — right !! But not working BECAUSE of THAT BEING A CRITERIA is a great motivator.
“these freedom fighters are trying to break up the country” — how many referendums have the French held to date?
OR the now infamous,
“To my fellow Anglo Quebecers. Don’t worry, your rights will be fully protected.” Yeah, as if they have any rights to begin with. I guess it’s easy to protect non existent rights isn’t P.M.
And so on.
But then you turn around and write something that brings it all home yet again and I realize, he’s just another one of them.
As for Mr Galganov. I certainly do not agree with — ALL — of his politics. Of this you can be rest assured but, regarding this French take over of Canada issue I would say I wholeheartedly agree with his passion and drive. Not sure I would have used the same tactics but, I am grateful that SOMEONE was there to do what he did so that there will be a historical record of at least — SOME ATTEMPT – that was made in Canada’s legal system.

As if the French are not punishing the Anglo’s in Quebec, and as if the French have not been on a mission to bleed every last penny from the roc while they sit on their natural resources to the tune of 40 some odd billion barrels of oil while they suck money from the western province. As if the actions of the French has not caused much of the backlash from both Howard and now, many Canadians across this country with more and more dissatisfied angry Alglo Canadians being added each and every day.

Any divisions in this country were created by French over the last 30-40 years. Those who have witnessed what is truly going on and see it for what it is will simply laugh at this attempt of yours to besmirch one of the few who have tried to DO SOMETHING to fight back. Say whatever you wish to say but I say we need more Howard G’s.
PS: I noticed an affinity for making light of the videos I have produced and posted but ya know, what i have noticed is that you have not specifically pointed out one single section of any video to challenge. What’s up with that? Can’t find something to challenge.
Maybe it was the part where the woman (a public transit customer) who was punched by a STO worker or the part where Marois points with one hand saying, “Ottawa has been mistreating Quebec for years” while she takes billions of cash from Ottawa with the other hand. Or the part where the priest was mad because he was verbally abused by another STO worker.
Which was it?
AND FOR THOSE WHO REALLY WISH TO KNOW how English Canada is being screwed
Watch this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhPcV0gtFR0&hd=1
It’s not a question of being against the French it’s a question of standing up for the rights of the English language and the English culture in our own country.
HFTT, I have been following the Galganov/Brisson story for some time and have read the court transcripts. I still feel that Russell Township rushed a law in when there was no need, over 70% of business owners already had bilingual signs. That council was kicked out at the next election, but Anglo & Franco business owners must be afraid to rock the boat to allow the discrimination to continue. It speaks badly for all of us when people are afraid to speak up.
HFTT, take a look at Ontario construction sites and government employer lots close to but on both sides of the border during a week day. Count the license plates. It is much easier to work in Ont. than Que. The connection with Bill 80 runs deep. The Ottawa Hospitals have enlarged greatly to accommodate Quebec patients.
I am happy to see Canadians getting health care, although it means more jobs need to be bilingual to deal with patients from Quebec, and of course, the Ontario taxpayers who pay an additional health tax have longer lines. The hospitals do not have a deduction from annual income from Ontario for money received from Quebec and have no incentive to stop.

Thank-You for the information. I stand corrected.
Once again false accusations and false information. I have no problem admitting I’ve made a mistake. It’s no shame. Coming from the King of Inaccuracies it’s not surprising that once again it’s not true.
“You not worry your confused head about what goes on in the background.”
Now…Now King of Inaccuracies . One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know what goes on in the background. Not to confusing for the head to understand and evaluate. When It’s so flagrantly visible in the foreground.
“But YOU do seem obsessed by it ,YOU feel you have the solutions go ahead start a movement but you are a rudderless self appointed captain looking for shipmates”
That you interpret me opinions as being an obsession and that you view me as a rudderless self appointed CAPTAIN is very revealing. It denotes your arrogance and condescension. Why do my opinions threaten you so? Are they not in correlation to your plan of action and strategy to seek a reversal of the Unfair Hiring practices?
“Perhaps you could take some of your unwarranted advice and run with it demand change through your approach or is all of your ranting just that ……..RANTING ?”
There has been no advise given by me, King of Inaccuracies. I have given an opinion. If you read it as ADVISE well there you have it. In as far as I’m concerned I gave an opinion no more, but no less. I do not believe that you have to DEMEAND change.
So there you have it King of Inaccuracies an opinion not advise . You’re the one that is deciding that it’s unwarranted from your point of view. As the self appointed speaker.
One of the world’s greatest problems is the impossibility of any person searching for the truth on any subject of finding it when they believe they already have it.
( Unlike hftT — cut n paste – )
I tell you in advance. These are other peoples words.)
What others had to say…
Constitution Act of 1867
Use of English and French Languages
Section 133
Either the English or the French Language may be used by any Person in the Houses of Parliament of Canada and of the Houses of Legislature of Quebec: and both those Languages shall be used in the respective Records and Journels of those Houses: and either of those Languages may be used by any Person or in any Pleading or Process in or issuing from any Court of Canada established under this Act, and in or from all or any of the Courts of Quebec.
The Acts of the Parliament of Canada and of the Legislature of Quebec shall be printed and published in both those Languages.
Bill 101 (Charter of the French Language, Bill 22 (Official Language Act of Quebec) and company are in direct violation of this Policy and must be repealed at once. The Fascist Language Laws of Quebec making French the Sole Official Language of the Province is also in direct violation of the Constitution Act of 1867. The English Language must be restored as the Co-Official Language of the Province of Quebec ASAP. The Province of Quebec must be a bilingual province in which English and French Languages are treated equaly and have the same rights and privilages.
Both English and French Cultures and Languages should be protected in the Province of Quebec. Both Anglophones and Francophones built and shapped the Province of Quebec and both Cultures and Langauges should be respected and protected.
God Save the Queen
I SUPPORT HOWARD GALGANOV IN HIS QUEST?
————————-
You are sadly mistaken. Galganov has a large following. True, he failed in Quebec, but that was in greatest part due to Anglophones who suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome — wherein the captive identifies with his captor.
(and — my Kilroy – addition — he was ahead of his time. People NOW are waking up more and more)
There is an old truism in politics: People vote against their own best interests. Quebec Anglophones are no exception.
Some half-million Anglophones left Quebec over the past 40 or so years. They couldn’t all be wrong. They have sought societies more welcoming than the Quebec political environment.
Their place has been taken, to a large extent, by North African, French-speaking people — Arabs, Jews and others — combined with Middle-East French speakers and people from Southeast Asia. These groups have no conception of what Montreal was like before they arrived and they don’t begin to fathom the feelings of the people who preceded them. No matter how glitzy and chic Montreal might feel these days, the city does not hold a candle to the atmosphere extant in Montreal before Quebec society became engulfed in separatist madness.
Civilized people do not seek to gain advantage over other groups by denying them their civil rights. This is precisely what has happened in Quebec and continues to happen.
Quebec has seen fit to trample the Canadian Constitution, enacted, ironically, under a French-Canadian prime minister from Quebec — Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
And the Supreme Court of Canada looks its other, misguided, way.
Galganov is right. Canada is not a bilingual country and Quebec is a unilingual province.
Heaven help Canada to cope with Quebec.
irwin wolfe
——————-
Howard Galganov is a bigot because he wants every single citizen to have full, civil rights without oppressive laws like the ones in Quebec? That he wouldn’t support ‘English only’ laws anymore than he would ‘French only’ ones? That he believes that individual rights should surpass collective ones, um, like it should in free societies? Huh? Is this a trick question? Or have we reached a point in Quebec (and yes I am a Montrealer) that twisted logic somehow makes sense? Do I vote for Galganov so that my ‘individual’, civil rights are recognized and guaranteed? Or should I vote for Quebec politics and give them up?
And when my daughter came home from school to tell me that the teacher was planning to make the kids write lines as punishment when they spoke English instead of only French, should I have told her her “That’s okay honey. Give up your individual rights, voluntarily. It’s for ‘the cause’.” I have a book full of stories like this that Anglophones and Allophones go through every day. But just because we have become apologists or cowards to speak up doesn’t mean it’s not happening, and it definitely doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. It’s not social peace, it’s surrendering of rights.

“IT SHOULD REMAIN THEIR CHOICE AND NOT THE STATE TO TELL YOU WHAT WORDS COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH OR WHAT GOES ON YOUR BUSSINESS SIGNS,OTHERWISE WE DO NOT HAVE DEMOCRACY.”
Nor do we have democracy, when a self appointed English rights activist goes into a community that he doesn’t even live in, and wages war in the name of democracy.
Come on King of Inaccuracies, how can this mans action be deemed DEMOCRATIC. After challenging his claim in Court it was decided that the by-laws do not infringe on any constitutional right. That in fact he was wrong. He wasn’t even granted standing at the proceeding because he wasn’t a resident.
All the brew ha ha that he caused in this community that before his arrival as an instigator, not a resident had complained of any by-law. Not one complaint was lodged that indicated discontent from the residents of Russel Township. They did not object. It’s Galganov/Brisson that challenged it. They self appointed themselves as the DEFENDERS of their personal agenda and not the residents wishes of this community.
Costing the residents of that community over $200,000 to defend themselves against such a blatant lack of civility and disrespect towards this community’s Authorities and Citizens.
That is not democracy. It’s Hostility. Justified in the name of Language Fairness.
This kind of behaviour is far worst than any government legislation. This is meddling in a community’s democratic right to self govern it’s self on it’s values, beliefs and needs. It expresses a false sense of ENTITLEMEN in the name of advancing a personal agenda.
So no, King of Inaccuracies, I believe that this sorts of tactical attack on individuals democratic right of freely choosing to live in a community that is 90% French and having an outsider infiltrate to dictate and impose himself and his beliefs is democratically wrong. Far more damaging than government legislation.
Even his Lawyer Mr. Bickley mocked the Franco-Ontarian community in an outrageous, unbecoming, and disrespectful fashion, by waving the Franco-Ontarian flag while trying
to explain that Franco-Ontarians are not truly “French” but rather bilingual, and therefore not deserving of legal protections.
HFTT: EXCELLENT!!!!! THE KING OF RANTS HAS BEEN PUT IN HIS PLACE ONCE AGAIN……….BRAVO MON AMI!!!!!

First of all there was more then one community ,and “democratic right of freely choosing”
That right to freely choose was taken away with municipality’s enforcement of signs bylaw ,already 70% of that said community had bilingual signs ….so why FORCE THEM and not be given their own choice?
That reeks of Marxism.

Opps, sorry lives for lies… just need to correct a couple of little faux pas on your part there my good sir.
— “a self appointed English rights activist”
CORRECTION: He WAS NOT “self appointed” at all. This is an UNTRUTH (to say the least)
There was indeed a large contingency of Anglophone Canadian citizens backing his/our cause who granted him the right to act on our behalf.
— “goes into a community that he doesn’t even live in”
This “may technically” be so but, i would infer that, in the defense of CANADIAN human rights throughout all this country he (and all Canadians) MUST forever and ALWAYS have legal standing in ALL of corners of this country when it comes to standing up for and protecting basic human (CANADIAN) rights that ultimately extend to and implicate ALL Canadians.
— “wages war in the name of democracy”
Oh c’mon now. Isn’t that a tad bit dramatic. The man was simply standing up for his rights and the rights of ALL Canadian citizens (both English and French — i may remind you –)
It is a far stretch — of even a 5 year olds imagination — to use such hyperbole as this to describe (or better yet, “try to discount or discredit) what he did.
You’re loosing “smart” points by the second there
