Québec souverain vu du Canada anglais



  1. Le NON canadian au "Québec fort dans un Canada uni"...
     Les Québécois marqués par la cause, les Canadians par les effets, et la mauvaise foi s'étonne...

    Les Québécois surtout marqués par Meech, les Canadiens par les référendums
    Clairandrée Cauchy Le Devoir mardi 26 juillet 2005 - Le directeur de l'AEC, Jack Jedwab, est étonné de constater la persistance du sentiment de rejet suscité au Québec par l'échec de Meech.

  2. Sondage sur les figures politiques les plus respectées: Lévesque au Québec, Trudeau ailleurs au Canada
    Clairandrée Cauchy Le Devoir mercredi 27 juillet 2005 - C'est dans les provinces atlantiques que la cote de popularité de M. Trudeau est la plus élevée. Il est cité comme étant le politicien le plus respecté par 80 % des répondants, comparativement à 57 % dans l'ensemble du pays et seulement 19 % au Québec.

  3. Un attachement qui perdure
    Michel Desjardins, La Presse mardi 21 juin 2005 - Tous les sondages démontrent que le sentiment d'appartenance des Québécois au Canada demeure très fort (...) De nombreux Québécois, et cela se comprend, veulent affirmer leur fierté d'être Québécois. Le Québec d'aujourd'hui a changé depuis que le mouvement souverainiste a pris naissance, il y a près de 50 ans. C'est avant tout un endroit où beaucoup sont à l'aise avec le fait d'être à la fois Québécois et Canadien. Il s'agit toutefois d'une dynamique complexe, qui comprend des questions de fierté, d'identité et d'aspirations. Dans les futurs débats sur l'avenir du Canada, nous devons accorder autant d'attention à ces " questions de coeur " qu'au statut constitutionnel du Québec.

  4. Sovereignist idol?
    Don MacPherson The Montréal Gazette June 21, 2005 Tuesday - The PQ leadership election is starting out as a contest of personalities rather than ideas, since a candidate strays from the party line at his peril.

  5. Like a wild horse'
    BENOIT AUBIN MacLean's June 15, 2005 - Bernard Landry's resignation has left the PQ leaderless -- and in deep turmoil

  6. Simple majority not enough, PQ candidate says
    RhéAl SéGuin The Globe and Mail Thursday, June 16, 2005 - Veteran strategist starts leadership bid by agreeing with federalists

  7. Quebec politics are too crazy
    Brigitte Pellerin The Ottawa Citizen Thursday, June 16, 2005

  8. Parti Quebecois is ripe for federalist takeover
    Don MacPherson The Gazette June 16, 2005 - The next leader of the PQ will be elected by a vote of all its members. And it's easy to join; it costs only $5, and you can sign up on the PQ's Web site (www.pq.org) or download a mail-in membership form. Membership is open to anyone over the age of 16. You don't even have to be a Quebec resident, and you need to understand only enough French to fill out the membership form. And there's no way the PQ could stop federalists from joining - or a federalist candidate from running for the leadership.

  9. Federal election is next battle
    John Ibbitson The Globe and Mail Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - Gilles Duceppe made the right decision, for those who share his goal of destroying Canada.

  10. Duceppe made smart decision
    L. Ian MacDonald The Gazette June 15, 2005 Wednesday

  11. Gilles Duceppe - The Quebec Separatist Fraud
    Howard Galganov Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - Gilles Duceppe is no fool when it comes to protecting his own ass. Why give up an Ottawa gravy-train for a Quebec City viper's pit?

    Ottawa Sun Mon, June 13, 2005

  20. Separatist dream is a fantasy
    EDITORIAL Toronto Star, June 8 2005 - A recent poll that showed 54% of Quebecers would support separation today was in fact based on the same misleading question asked in the 1995 referendum, which promised "an offer of economic and political partnership" with the rest of Canada. The Clarity Act , passed in 2000, makes such dishonest questions invalid. What's more, 56% of those who said they supported "sovereignty" also said they wanted Quebec to stay in Canada. Sorry, Gilles.

  21. PQ revival is not music to homeowners' ears
    Konrad Yakabuski The Globe and Mail Wednesday, June 8, 2005 - Unlike dyed-in-the-wool separatist Jacques Parizeau, Mr. Landry did not abandon René Lévesque in 1984 when the latter opted for the "beau risque" of renewed federalism that Brian Mulroney was offering. Mr. Landry's traditional constitutional demands for Quebec were largely fulfilled by the subsequent Meech Lake Accord. And he's preached moderation ever since.

  22. Landry: A true conviction politician
    Editorial Toronto Star June 8 2005 - Bernard Landry will be remembered principally as a man who believed the wrong things. But for all his faults, he has always been a conviction politician, one who knows what he believes and isn't afraid to say so. Bon an mal an, as they say, Landry has been a sovereignist in politics and an interventionist in economics.

  23. A blond with substance
    JANET BAGNALL The Gazette Wednesday, June 08, 2005 - Pauline Marois's troubles represent a step forward for women: A rich, blond, ambitious woman has been treated as what she is - a political threat

  24. Women fill most of PQ's leading jobs
    RhéAl SéGuin The Globe and Mail Wednesday, June 8, 2005 - Nearly a third of Quebec MNAs are female, one of highest percentages in world

    PHILIP AUTHIER The Montréal Gazette June 2, 2005 Thursday

  28. Another reason to play golf
    Brigitte Pellerin The Ottawa Citizen, Thursday June 2, 2005 - The Parti Québécois’s national convention this weekend will have pundits spending an awful lot of time and energy deciphering tough questions.

  29. L'heure du réveil
    Martin Cauchon, La Presse mercredi 1 juin 2005 - Les fédéralistes doivent regagner le coeur de certains Québécois décontenancés par les événements récents

  32. Despite Landry's resignation as leader of PQ, support for sovereignty will remain high
    André Pratte Web-exclusive comment - Globe and Mail Tuesday, June 7, 2005

  33. Party needs more than just rhetoric now
    RHÉAL SÉGUIN G&M Monday, June 6, 2005

  34. Le silence fédéraliste
    André Pratte La Presse lundi 30 mai 2005 - Sur le fond, M. Larose a raison: il y avait entre les deux camps une frappante " différence festive ". Où étaient les fédéralistes le 20 mai 2005? Ils n'ont rien fait, rien dit. Ce n'est pas nouveau: pour l'essentiel, depuis quelques années, les fédéralistes québécois se tiennent coi.

  35. The separatist bogeyman
    PAUL WELLS >Macleans May 25, 2005 - Our fear-mongering leaders should show a little faith in this country

      «préparer l'inévitable séparation du Québec»

    • «Divorçons !»
      Antoine Robitaille Le Devoir samedi 14 et du dimanche 15 mai 2005 - Des voix se lèvent au Canada anglais pour «préparer l'inévitable séparation du Québec»
      Paul Jackson acquiesce et adopte une perspective historique encore plus longue : «À travers l'histoire, les pays apparaissent et disparaissent. C'est la vie. Et ça pourrait bien arriver au Canada. Ce n'est pas si dramatique. Ce qui serait dramatique, ce serait de continuer à dépenser des énergies folles pour garder le Québec au sein du Canada contre la logique de l'histoire.»

    • 1- Divided we stand - Perhaps having an independent Quebec would be better for Canadians
      Paul Jackson Calgary Sun - Sunday, May 01, 2005 - What the Bloc leader said that has been whispering in my mind during his stop-off in Calgary and other points West, was that what passes for English-Canada would be much happier in the long run if Quebec were an independent country, and that Quebecers would certainly be much happier. Both of us would have a much better, more friendly, relationship.

    • 2- Friendly adieu - Let's make it an amicable split when Quebec finally separates
      Paul Jackson Calgary Sun - Sun, May 8, 2005 - There appear to be three classes of thought on the issue: (A) Keep tossing billions of dollars at Quebec in order to keep it in Confederation; (B) Let the French-Canadians go if they so want, but let's do so with rancour and hold them to their share of the $500 billion federal debt; (C) Let history take its obvious course, and let Quebec go, but let's still remain friends, though with no special concessions or final payoffs on some mysterious debt. Put me in the third category (...)

    • 3- Happier apart - Canada and Quebec could both benefit from separation
      Paul Jackson Calgary Sun Tue, May 17, 2005 - Actually, while not liking the hotheaded radicals in the Quebec separatist movement I do understand -- and quietly admire -- why French Canadians have been so determined to safeguard their culture and traditions. The sham of multiculturalism is nowhere to be seen in Quebec. Anyone who emigrates to Quebec better understand they adapt to the Quebecois culture, not the other way around. (...) The conclusion from all this is that Quebec is definitely determined to go, but we can work things out in an orderly way, and, as Duceppe said, we'll all be better off for it.

    • Paul Jackson - du temps où il jacksonnait... - Bouchard needs a lesson
      Paul Jackson Calgary Herald 1998 - Racism is not only evil, it's banal. Pointless idiocy. This is not the case in Quebec. The likes of Premier Lucien Bouchard and former premier Jacques Parizeau have established racism as a state doctrine. No one other than 'pure' Quebecois are welcome in the province. Already, their racist policies have driven thousands out of Quebec, and ethnic minorities, including English-speaking Canadians, live in fear of what's to come.

    • Unity: Don't be scared, be creative
      RICHARD GWYN Toronto Star Friday, April 29, 2005 - We can't bring ourselves to admit it, but Quebec already has all but separated

    • Dangerous times for federalism
      ÉDITORIAL The Gazette Saturday, May 14, 2005 - There are some disquieting figures in the poll. Ten years ago, 95 per cent of allophone voters rejected sovereignty, but in today's poll, 31 per cent said they favour it. Although anglophones remain massively against sovereignty, 13 per cent of English-speakers now say they support it.


  36. When Perception Becomes Reality
    Howard Galganov Monday, May 16, 2005 - Canada AND Quebec has become the normal identifier amongst the news media and our politicians. Of course we never hear of Ontario AND Canada since Ontario is part of Canada.

  37. Parizeau predicts Yes side victory in referendum
    ELIZABETH THOMPSON The Montréal Gazette Tuesday, May 17, 2005

  38. Sovereignty 'Quebec paradox'
    PEGGY CURRAN The Gazette Saturday, May 14, 2005 - But three out of four have divided loyalties, new poll finds

  39. The PQ fantasy world
    Editorial The Toronto Star May 9 2005 - Ultimately, Quebecers themselves will have to decide which of these scenarios is the more likely. But the PQ claim that breaking up Canada would be a painless process defies belief. There would be steep costs. They would be borne by all Canadians, Quebecers included.

  40. Landry's Plan B - Unilateral secession
    KEVIN DOUGHERTY The Montreal Gazette May 6, 2005 Friday - Audet dismisses projected financial benefits of independence as 'Alice in Wonderland' - Quebec could declare independence unilaterally and withhold its federal taxes from Ottawa if negotiations with Canada drag on after a vote for secession, Parti Quebecois leader Bernard Landry said yesterday.

  41. Quebec Liberals decry study promoting sovereignty
    RhéAl SéGuin The Globe and Mail Friday, May 6, 2005

  42. Le plan C, comme dans «couper les vivres» au Bloc
    Antoine Robitaille Le Devoir samedi 7 et dimanche 8 mai 2005 - Revue de presse - Le ton monte dans le ROC à l'endroit du Québec en général et des souverainistes en particulier. À preuve, la chronique de Lawrence Martin dans le Globe and Mail de jeudi. Le chroniqueur affirmait qu'en matière de scandale, «aucune province n'a plus d'expérience que le Québec».

  43. So cry us a river, Mr. Duceppe
    LAWRENCE MARTIN Globe and Mail Thursday, May 5, 2005 - It was this kind of lenient attitude -- kowtowing to the antagonists -- that helped create the sponsorship fiasco. Ottawa let the Bloc rise with hardly a whimper and helped fund it. Ottawa let the secessionists control most of the levers in the 1995 referendum. Fighting back, Ottawa decided it had to get more funding to Liberals in Quebec. The money-laundering scandal began.

  44. REPLIQUE - Cracher sur le Québec... en français
    Michel Vastel Le Soleil mardi 10 mai 2005 - Alors, résumons-nous : un petit gars d'Ottawa (Ontario) qui refile 117 millions $ en contrats de commandites et de publicité à un petit gars de Hilton Head Island (Caroline du Sud) : "c'est principalement un scandale impliquant des Québécois à propos du Québec" ?

  45. La domination québécoise a sauvé le Canada
    Antoine Robitaille Le Devoir samedi 18 décembre 2004 - Le chroniqueur souligne enfin un paradoxe inouï: «Bien que le mouvement souverainiste ait presque détruit le pays, c'est l'excès même du pouvoir québécois à Ottawa qui a préservé ce même pays.» En effet, dit-il, si, pendant toutes ces décennies, les dirigeants canadiens avaient été des conservateurs de l'Ouest nullement contraints à cultiver la base électorale au Québec, «quelle sorte de pays aurions-nous?». D'une part, le Québec aurait peut-être fait sécession, dit-il. D'autre part, le Canada aurait été beaucoup moins différent des États-Unis qu'à l'heure actuelle; en tout cas, il aurait été moins épris «de droits linguistiques, de justice sociale et d'autres valeurs progressistes». Fascinante analyse, convenons-en.

  46. Peoplehood and partition
    Jonathan Kay National Post Monday, February 15, 1999 - That was news to me, of course. Though I am a 30-year Quebec resident, I would not put the fleur-de-lis on my list of personal symbols. The Maple Leaf? Yes. The Star of Zion? Perhaps. But the fleur-de-lis? I don't think so.
