Speaking of cultural ignorance: A letter to Manjit Singh. Dear Mr. Singh,. It’s with great interest that I read your letter in Thursday’s Gazette. In which you attempt to school the culturally ignorant members of our National Assembly about the Sikh kirpan. Most people are not willing to admit that the statistics they pull out of their asses are solely based on prejudice and ignorance. Your self-awareness is commendable. Indeed, why indeed should Québec, Ontario, American Homeland Security or the United ...

In about a week the Philadelphia Flyers will put an end to the providential media blackout provided by the Habs’ unexpected early playoffs successes and Jean Charest’s Liberals, already busy with Mulroney-scale allegations of corruption, will also have to deal with their very first full-scale language crisis. The Supremes essentially agreed that closing that loophole was a legiti...

Québec Redneck Bluegrass Project: Québec is not where you think it is…. I had to spend 27 minutes on the phone with a CBC producer last week to realize I had no real opinion about the upcoming federal election. This of course is one of the great universal truths of our lives in this valley of tears: we know nothing, indeed are nothing, until we’ve got someone else to bounce off. Think about it, what could Canada possibly be if it couldn’t. April 11, 2011 at 7:49 pm. Subscribe to comments with RSS. Adski:...

The Myth of Montreal’s Bilingual Hospitals. Dying generally sucks, but you do get a few perks: things like a 24h VIP direct line to a nurse you can call when weird things start happening to your mother’s cancer-ridden body. The thing is, at night the system is rigged up so that you have to go through the Montreal General Hospital’s internal operator to get to the nurse. Not the public operator used to communicating with the taxpaying public. The internal switchboard lady. Dispatch. What service? 8220;The...

Does Montreal need more immigrants? | AngryFrenchGuy
https://angryfrenchguy.com/2008/02/04/does-montreal-need-more-immigrants
Does Montreal need more immigrants? That’s the fascinating and highly controversial question a small but determined group of scholars have been debating in Québec newspapers lately. 49 000 new brothers and sisters. That’s how many new immigrants the Québec government decided to recruit for Québec in 2008. That number, which is proportionally much higher than the immigration levels in the United States and most of Western Europe, will be increased to 55 000 in 2010. In a December 28th letter to Le Devoir.
