My column on Monday about smoking got me a great deal of correspondence. Several readers have written to tell me that I was too compassionate to addicted to nicotine.

My taxes and fees

"If smokers want to be sick, I do not want to take my tax they seek care," wrote me Denis Côté.

Even thought the side of Georges Riquier:

"Smokers know they may die of cancer, but before dying, they will be treated in the health care system that supports me financially with my taxes," he writes.

"In addition, they will use perhaps up to the hospital as me and my family could not use it because the hospital is full ..."

Quick question, like this ...

How many of these players are regular exercise, eat no salt, avoid red meat and processed meats, are not overweight and drink alcohol moderately, as recommended by doctors?

I'm curious to know ...

Big Brother

What you want, exactly?

The government kept a file listing the lifestyle of every Quebecer to know who among us deserves to receive free health care?

You want the government starts to monitor what you eat, if you're running, how many glasses of wine you drink a day if you walk to work or if you use your car?

With a 1-800 number that would allow you to denounce your neighbors? ("My brother-in-law says he does not smoke, but I saw him the other day trying to smoke a cigarette in his court, and it seemed to be in his third beer ...")

That is the Quebec of your dreams?

Cancer dunce

Why not expand this approach to the education system, for that matter?

"You never read at home and you do not look as stupid quiz shows or reality shows? Then you'll pay your education, there is no question that takes my taxes and fees to try to teach a twit who refuses to make the intellectual effort required for its development!"

Citizens should also pass the tests of political culture to see if they are able to exercise their voting rights or not.

After all, I do not want my taxes and fees to allow the ignorant to elect the person who will guide me!

Final stage

I remind you that smokers already pay many, many taxes, and that each poff to take part in the coffers of the state.

If the taxes levied on cigarette packages were used to pay for a stadium than a billion dollars rather than fund our health system, it is not their fault, but our smart bureaucrats mismanage our money.

Moreover, if governments were also concerned that by smoking it, they would crack down against those Indians who brazenly break the law by selling cigarettes at low prices (and to minors), instead of watching them go idly by ...

We would think that with the election of Barack Obama, U.S. Republicans have learned their lesson and changed the disk.

They have stopped supplying the paranoid ravings of the extremists that plague their ranks to provide a more intelligent discourse, speaking more to reason than emotion.

But no.

If anything, it's even worse than before.

An irresponsible speech

As I write these lines, it is not known yet whether the shooting that left six dead in Arizona on Saturday (and which nearly cost the life of the Parliamentary Democratic Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head) was a political gesture.

But one thing is certain: the aggressive and provocative speeches of some figures of the Republican Party has certainly not helped to calm the weak and impressionable.

On the contrary.

Publish, as did Sarah Palin last year, a map of the United States "targeting" twenty Democrats who had the misfortune to support reform of the health system (showing the politicians as they were in the line of fire of a killer) is not only unworthy of a woman who sought the presidency, but it is totally irresponsible.

It's fine, use war metaphors to talk about politics (everyone has done since Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, so that it is quite a cliché), but past a certain point it becomes dangerous.

Piss vinegar

The Republicans have they nothing but rage and anger about the American people?

We can think what you want about the current president. Find it fails to deliver the goods or believe that its economic program is "anti-American" because too interventionist. But like it or not, we must recognize a high quality to Obama: the man is intelligent.

When he speaks to citizens, it does not attempt to exploit fears, their fears and frustrations, it is aimed at their head, he invited them to participate in a debate of ideas, discuss, share.

What do the Republicans, themselves?

They pour vinegar on the wounds of the left-pourcompte system hoping that it will raise the curtains.

It is the degree zero of political discourse.

We adopt this kind of strategy when it no longer has any new idea to propose, when you find yourself short of arguments to convince anyone.

Lessons learned

After decades of "constitutionality" acute, we are witnessing the return of the debate "left-right" in Quebec.

Good. It was time.

But I hope the level of discussion will never fall as low as one must endure our neighbors to the south for twenty years.

A vigorous debate, yes. Discussions tough, I hope so. After all, a good spat has never hurt anyone. But I do not see what would benefit our society to see our politicians, our commentators and our activists are rolling in the mud, hurling insults.

And feed the frustration of the people by carrying conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated rumors.

A wish

When is a Republican candidate who will raise the level of debate and revive the glorious history of the party of Abraham Lincoln?

In October 2009, the Minister Claude Bechard was interviewed very touching and very lucid Josélito Michaud. "If it comes back, I know it's over," he said. It comes back. And he died at age 41, hours after it was bizarrely announced his resignation.

We always repeat the same phrases about the death.

No justice

"Death is the only justice here", and "should live each day as if it were the last."

Both statements are probably the dumbest sentences ever imposed.

Indeed, how can death be considered a form of justice?

Bastards die in their sleep 92 years while citizens are best carried by terrible diseases in the prime of life.

Where is where the justice in that? The Spanish dictator Franco died at 83 years. Maurice Papon, the French war criminal who helped the Nazis in deporting hundreds of Jews, dead at age 97. Henry Kissinger, who instigated the coup in Chile and authorized the bombing of Cambodian civilians, 87 years and has always delivered speeches at the four corners of the planet.

Claude Bechard, he died of pancreatic cancer at age 41, survived by four children ...

No wonder that man invented God. How could we endure such injustice, if not?

The last day

The second sentence is equally stupid.

Because let's be honest: if we lived each day as if it was the last person would not work, we would be all in Olomouc Olomouc islands, a cocktail in each hand ...

At the end of his life when he felt the breath of the Grim Reaper on his neck, Claude Bechard said that had he known he would not have so much work, he spent more time with his wife and children ...

"During the night, you think child that you do not have time to do," he told Denis Lessard.

This year, he was able to attend the show year-end of his two biological daughters.

"It was the first time ... and you can not stop thinking that this may be the last, "he said, choking with emotion.

Under the carpet

It works, it works ...

Why? What it gives, at the end? More money? Some honors?

Do you really think that at the end of your days when you feel the life leave you, you say: "I had to work a little more? Spending a few extra weekends in front of my computer?"

We all behave as though we were immortal. Mind you, this may be the only way to live. Sweep this big monster under the carpet, and line ...

Face death

As my idol, the journalist Christopher Hitchens, who is dying of cancer of the esophagus, Claude Bechard has faced death with dignity and fortitude.

"We can not always put his plans later, he launched Josélito. They must do it now ... "

The young minister had already established the "other side" when he said that.

But we who inhabit the land of the living still, are we able to hear this message?

The Committee Bastarache still a funny, sensitive sound hacker, you can not find?

After all, the Gomery commission was based on facts.

There was an investigation by the Auditor General, information, evidence, reports in the newspapers showing by example that the government had paid $ 550,000 to a marketing firm for a report that no one could find, etc..

In short, this commission was based on the solid. We had every reason in the world of developing.

On sand

However, the Committee Bastarache based on unproven allegations and not proven.

Bellemare said the Prime Minister said such a matter. Charest said that it is false.

No fact, no evidence. What assertions. As Anglos say: "He says, hey says."

Or you believe the Prime Minister or you believe the former Minister of Justice.

Unless a last minute surprise (a cookie hidden in closet that has heard it all), the commission will never succeed in revealing what really happened between these two men.

Doubts continue to float.

Haters will Charest fiduciary principle of presumption of innocence and convict him. Those who love it will defend tooth and nail, saying he was the subject of a settling of accounts.

No skeptic will be confused, no believer will not be converted.

Duelling

In fact, Bastarache is not a commission. It is a duel.

Marc Bellemare has launched claims questioning the honesty and respectability of Jean Charest. Charest went and created a commission of inquiry to clear his name.

At other times (at the time of muskets and top hats), Charest slapped his former minister in public and would have summoned to appear at the edge of a forest in the early hours of the morning with a witness and a pistol.

Contrary to the Gomery commission, the commission took no both been set up to inform people that wash the honor of a politician.

Come see comedians

The LCN network card disseminating board hearings Bastarache. Normal: this is the best theater in town.

Given that such allegation can be proved, it is all about the game and the credibility of the belligerents.

The issue is not "who will tell the truth?" (They probably never would have known), but "SEEMS as telling the truth?"

So we carefully scanning the faces of the two adversaries.

The slightest blink of an eye, a drop of sweat, the slightest tremor of the cheek are analyzed, dissected, skinned.

It's like when the American judge Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harassment by Anita Hill.

The Republicans took to him. The Democrats took for her.

But what has really happened between these two people? Nobody can say with certainty.

Our vision of the facts depends on our political allegiance.

A disturbing experience

In the twelfth century, Ibn Munqidh Syrian prince attended a duel between a blacksmith and an old man.

The experience was profoundly shocked.

"Where was the justice in that?," He cried. Where was the criminal? Where was the innocent?"

Damn good question.

Before yesterday, I was in Normandy on Juno Beach, Courseulles-sur-Mer, where thousands of soldiers in Canada and Quebec were landed June 6, 1944 to liberate Europe and go kick the ass of the Nazis.

I went to shoot a story which I will speak on the day of broadcast on Télé-Québec.

Heroes and bastard

I met two Normans who, each in its own way, have seen war up close.

The son of a French resistance fighter wanted by the Gestapo, who lost his father and his mother the day of landing (they were killed by Allied bombing).

And a bristling military medals that made the war Algeria.

The two spoke to me (microwave closed) Charles de Gaulle.

For the first, the great Charles was a hero who led the French people to victory. For the second, he was a bastard who betrayed the French military in granting independence to Algeria.

Two men, two facets of the same person.

The two wars

Two facets of the war, too. As I started the veteran of Algeria, who came back from the front head down "the war in the Aures had nothing comparable to the Second World War. It was a dirty war. Our enemies do not wear uniforms, they were everywhere, there was no front, no rule was the guerrilla ...."

And unlike the 1944 fighters, veterans of "war without a name" does not return home to applause, but in a shameful silence reproachful.

They are all suspected of being racist, of torturing and chewed the "gook" ...

Roll of honor

Faced with the Juno, the Museum honoring the soldiers who liberated Normandy, there are austere columns where the names of the fighters appear ...

Some have participated in the landings, others have made the campaign of Italy had occupied Berlin.

There are also the names of Canadian soldiers killed in action during the current war in Afghanistan.

The soldiers of World War II came back from the front with the feeling of work. They had a mission to fulfill, and they have met. Relatives of those killed by the bullets of Nazis may console themselves by saying that their son, their brother or sister did not die for nothing.

The verdict of history

But what about the veterans of Iraq or Afghanistan? What were these deaths, these sacrifices?

Not only the region is still as unstable, but bin Laden is still running and the Islamist movement is also dangerous, if not more.

One could even say that these unpopular wars have served to fuel the jihadist movement, rather than extinguish it.

"I'm not against all wars. Only against stupid wars ", has already said Barack Obama.

I wonder how history will judge those that are currently the United States and Canada ...

Sports idiot

After surfing for the mindless youth have invented a new sport: balconing. It is diving into a pool from the balcony of your hotel room.

Since the beginning of the year, nine tourists were killed in the Balearics.

You can not stop progress ...

The Quebec school is it inappropriate to the needs of boys? Is it too feminine? That is the question posed Aegis Royer Lessons elephant: the success of boys in school, an essay clarifying who has just come out in press.

For the specialist in special education, the answer is a resounding Yes. Our education system, he says, is singularly lacking in testosterone.

Effect Hygrade

The boys need positive role models to emulate, both at home and at school. However, as pointed out by Aegis Royer, 2006-2007 to 2008-2009, the percentage of male teachers in Quebec schools (preschool, primary and secondary) increased overall by 29.4% to 22.5%.

And judging from the number of male student in science education to become teachers, the trend will grow.

How to explain this phenomenon?

Probably the effect Hygrade. The school is feminized, because the men fled, the men flee, because the school is feminized.

In short, the fewer male teachers, there will be fewer male teachers.

School mat

What is a school "female"? It is a school where boys can not tug at the playground, where it is forbidden to climb the hills of snow, where the slightest chamaillage is perceived as a sign of violence and aggression, where competition is being alienated, which are distributed as Ritalin Smarties and where adventure books, magazines, sports and heroic epics are missing libraries.

A school where you must remain seated quietly, both buttocks stuck on the chair, even if you have the hormones in the ceiling.

A school where young Sikhs can proudly wear their kirpan while the boys who show the penknife that their grandfather bought them are sent to a psychologist illico.

Where are the guys?

Aegis Royer right to say that Quebec schools is ill-suited to the needs of boys.

But before pointing the finger at the education system and make it (again) the State responsible for our problems, we should perhaps look in the mirror and ask ourselves what kind of models we are for our children .

For example, how many boys see their fathers read? (And when I say read, I mean something other than the TV Guide.)

My friend Benoit Dutrizac, who has written some thrillers bloody, kept repeating to me when we worked together: "Richard, the guys do not read! I come from the book fair, and there were only women. If it was girls who buy books, go to the theater and attending museums, culture fall ... "

A little effort

That said, the world of work (where competition is fierce and inflexible hours) is not particularly suited to the "values" that we associate - rightly or wrongly - to women, and they have still managed to it an enviable.

They have not spent their time complaining: they are rolled up the sleeves and dark.

That sounds good "fit" school for boys.

But it would also draw the guys girls, and they learn the culture of effort and perseverance.

Hello Mr. Martineau

I send you this comment after your column last Saturday December 18th "Meanwhile, in the PQ". I am a blogger and a few times. I publish some of your columns that I appreciate. I'd be lying if I say that you did not your politics. Continue to disturb. I like that.

I appeared in federal elections in January 2006 for the NDP in Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. But December 16, 2007, when they were preparing to prepare for the federal elections of 2008, I learned through the newspapers (Toronto by the way) I was cursed out together with Micheline Montreuil.

Why? It took me time to learn, but the reason for my ouster was because I was against the reasonable religious accommodations. Despite the claims of certain cultural communities, they called me a racist, fascist bastard, and some members of the NDP had said that my mother should had an abortion instead of giving me life.

Instead of staying with those partisans while kissing their fucking ass while they vomited on me and my supporters, I took an independent position, where I became a fervent supporter secular fighting religious fanaticism as I can . I moved from left to right, somehow. And I prefer doing that too much to do anything.

I was recently called intolerant, as sometimes people are treated and piss in their pants. When it comes to qualifying I thank the people from my heart, because I do not tolerate the idiocy of S'A flat belly in bullshit, that cultural communities themselves condemn. Am I a racist? If yes, too bad for you, good for me, my skin is not free, and it will make total war for my skin.

A few weeks ago, you asked if there was someone, somewhere close to get a secular political party, although I rode a horse, and started to raise awareness more than 450 children, only in 2009 in Two Mountains and St. Eustatius in my basement of Two Mountains against the evils of multiculturalism and tolerance of other religion. I do not teach them that they are superior as whites but they are not inferior as a visible majority.

I also inform parents of various misdeeds during the RCT as a tactic to make us slaves as whites. I teach them to tolerate as much that we (Quebec strain) are tolerated in our fair value. Many blacks have attended my identity workshops, they were "born again", they became atheists.

That's what I do, and I do it with passion. Instead of the multiculturalists re-educate our children in Quebec, I even to teach Muslim veil hanging in the wardrobe, and I even teach the guitar. So we have in Saint-Eustache some sexy and beautiful Moroccan teenage girls unveiled, who play Paul Piché drinking alcohol on St. John, some sexy and beautiful Algerian teenage girls unveiled, who play April Wine on Canada Day in very short denim shorts.

My girlfriend and I, we have the same passion, we unmulticulturalise, and we love it. And we are aware that culture and religion is not the same thing.

But a tragedy happened at 2 weeks of Christmas. A mother contacted me from Boisbriand December 14. She authorized me to publish his name on the net as well as newspapers, Marie-Claude Langlois, 32. Her 9 year old girl has been chosen by his teacher (they have derived its name from a random pot inscribing his name on a piece of paper) to an activity during the RCT. This activity is to convert to Islam. An imam was waiting in the hallway of the school and was converted (the confession she was serious, only he knows) the girl in question. The teacher wanted her students to impose the Islamic faith without talking to the mother or her spouse.

When she returned home, she wore the hijab. An imam is supposed to come home on Wednesday to convert them (forcibly?), without their consent. She contacted the teacher in question and she said that this experience was for a period of 4 months, as what she will became back Catholic later. The school sells them as a family to Islam. They said that if she ever dared to remove her daughter from this project, the DPJ was intervening. What a great achievement that the RCT course!

One of my friends, Mathieu Arnaud was at Ahuntsic Park on the sidewalk I was talking hockey with one of his buddies. Disappointed by the performance of Carey Price, he released a coronation, a simple "Osti".

A Muslim with a long black beard in his fifties, sitting on a park bench not far away stood up and went to complain to a police patrol was nearby.

The police has arrested, they stopped walking if they don't want be shot. The police immediately called their papers, and issued a ticket for having issued a coronation or blasphemy or foul language; $ 75 each.

They have however said they were 2 students from Cégep Ahuntsic, 2 consenting adults, talking about the game of hockey before, the Muslim has dealt with "miscreants" to "mangy dog", to "Canadians badly educated" the policewoman gave him reason, but Matthew and his friend had no right to say softly: "Osti que la game était plate".

Meanwhile, while the policewoman had their backs turned to her 4 cars, 2 blacks were exchanged for drugs. Mathieu said what happens, she deals with racism, and gave him another ticket for racist remarks. The Muslim, meanwhile, asked why we Quebecers, whenever we see members of streets, shouting that is drug trade.

What a jerk!

Of course they will deny, and they went to SOS Ticket. If they should ever go to court, their families will support them.

Mathieu has Rouyn-Noranda. La police chez lui n'écoeure pas personne, pas plus que les immigrés. Police ever there is not shooting shit on nobody, even not immigrants. Why all those in Montreal who are white, they are treated worse than dogs on a leash? True, Richard, what have we did to God, Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Jehovah, etc..?

He still have a session at College Ahuntsic. After that he went to study at UQAB (University of Quebec in Abitibi Témiscamingue).

Without doubt, and unfortunately for some Montrealers (25% of the people he has known here) which were fun, he never wants to come back here. The remaining 75% were treated for almost 2 years as a resident, a peasant or a nasty racist.

Injury, like him, I thought Montreal was civilized.

A 13 year old at École Liberté-Jeunesse, at Ste-Marthe-sur-le-lac, a teenager which I teach English-speaking Canada music, has been withholding because of a Muslim substitute. While it is a free period during the course of science, he made a drawing class in the solar system, and combines planets to professors he jokes.

He combines Saturn and Jupiter to 2 corpulent teachers, Venus to a lovely teacher of 23 years old, but Pluto, to the Muslim substitute in question, while the latter felt away as Pluto, arguing that the young wanted her outside of school or country. Il passera en janvier au conseil disciplinaire de l'école pour avoir tenu une comparaison discriminatoire raciale. He will spent January to disciplinary board of the school for having a discriminatory racial comparison.

Do you understand me, Richard? Do you understand the identity right? Do you understand Hérouxville? I am accused of selling to people under 15 some copies of swastikas, and copies of Mein Kemp, while Mein Kemp is consumed only when people are 16 or 18 years. It's less violent than the Bible, the Koran and the Torah, but it is frowned to read to children, so I read it for young adults.

Publish what you want, I continue my political actions, and I'll take away the most children as possible from the clutches of multiculturalism.

Merry Christmas,

Sincerely,
Francis Chartrand

Each year, the same thing. The more we approach the fateful date of December 6, the more masculinist radical groups are excited on the Internet.

They are like vampires who feel dawn the first glimmerings of dawn. They scream, spit, to convulse as if they threw the holy water.

THE FAULT TO FEMINIST

The worst of the strip, the more hysterical, the most worrisome are members of the group L'Après-rupture.

"The major organs begin feminist victimizers motion to mark the 20th anniversary of the Polytechnique tragedy, they wrote this week. Sad recovery based on emotions, melodramatic statements included in chorus by the media who prefer to serious analysis shows, impartial.

"Polytechnic, deplorable recovery by feminist organizations who must maintain their propaganda to ensure the payment of annual profit grants.

"Nobody asks the question: why Marc Lépine posed such a gesture? The answer is very simple. Lepine lived burgeoning feminism that demonizes men ..."

In short, if Lepine showed up at Polytechnique and shot 14 women, it is because of bad feminists.

This message would be laughable if it were not so disgusting ...

HE LEARNED IN THE FOOT

That masculinist groups campaigning to get more grants to help people in distress is one thing.

But does this mean Lépine portray as a poor victim of "feminist propaganda handsomely subsidized with taxpayer money"?

The members of L'Après-rupture did not they make that they shooting themselves in the foot by taking such a speech? They completely discredit their cause?

The solution does not remove money from groups of women: it is to give more groups of men!

As they say, we don't need to undress Ginette to dress Jacques. We just buy clothes for both ...

Instead of constantly shooting each other, and compare their wounds to know what sex is the most messed up, groups of men and women's groups should work TOGETHER to build a more harmonious and less aggressive.

A COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE STRATEGY?

That said, if I do not share the speech paranoid, misogynist and revenge L'Après-rupture, I confess I feel a certain unease in the discourse surrounding the Polytechnique massacre.

Not because I think the use of Poly is a "recovering feminist," as like to say masculinists radicals. But because I am afraid that this strategy is cons-productive.

Let me explain ...

Over the years, Poly has become a sort of symbol of violence against women.

But do you really think the guys who regularly beats his wife in his living room identified with Marc Lépine?

I doubt it. He said: "Lépine is a monster, an extreme case, a madman, a psychotic. It has nothing to do with me ..."

When they compare there life to Lépine, the "ordinary tyrants" are very nice, very accurate ... Real gentlemen.

A BAD SYMBOL

Do not misunderstand me: I'm not saying that we should not remind us remember the tragic memory of Poly.

Instead, I think it's essential. Like it or not, this terrible tragedy is part of our history.

But I think we should not make this event a symbol of everyday violence experienced by battered women. It's too big, too monstrous, too exceptional.

Last Sunday, I told you that I do not understand why some groups of men portray Marc Lepine as a poor victim of evil feminists.

"That masculinist groups campaigning to get more grants to help people in distress is something I wrote. But to pity the fate of a lunatic who killed 14 women, there is a margin.

"The men can go do they not realize they shooting themselves in the foot by taking such a speech? They completely discredit their cause?"

IN DEFENSE OF MONSTER

This column brought me a nice email the group L'Après-rupture :

"Mr. Martineau, the team of L'Après-rupture like to thank you for your review. In most of us know, you send our message widely Inconvenient received ideas, thinking only about Polytechnique.

"Marc Lepine is a monster created by the radical feminist movement, a monster that this movement has recovered to better enrich themselves with money from citizens. We hope that before long, you can write on charges relating to possible criminal activities of certain feminist organizations ..."

You find this point of view twisted? Wait, you have not read anything ...

ILSA, SHE-WOLF OF THE SS

In the male domination, a documentary on radical masculinist Quebec filmed by Belgian director Jean Patrick, we say things even more twisted:

"Quebec is the opposite of the Taliban. The Taliban was the oppression against women. The Quebec, oppression against men ... "

"Feminism is a crime against humanity ..."

"We saw just as in Nazi Germany. And this is no more subtle than in Nazi Germany ..."

Well yes, my friends, men living in Quebec the same ordeal combined experience of European Jews in the 1940s.

This is EXACTLY the same!

Hordes of women dressed in pink patrol the streets of Limoilou and set fire to the tavern, they organize raids in Cages aux sports in the province, forcing men to wear a small brown penis in their buttonholes and send them to end their days in sexual reeducation camps run by bloodthirsty lesbians who make necklaces testicles and handbags scrotal skin.

TALIBAN, PQ

And just like Afghanistan under the Taliban, Quebec males are not allowed to attend school, can not go out into the street without being accompanied by their mother or their sister and are stoned 's they do not wear a hood in midsummer.

One wonders why American GIs do not organize a landing at Dolbeau to free us!

Yesterday, in Le Devoir, the lawyer Julius Gray published a load rule against those who want to strengthen the law 101.

"Overall, it is time to stop the battle against the English," said the defender of individual rights.

What? There is a battle against the English? In Quebec? Tell me where it raged, Master Gray, for me, all I see is the opposite, ie a slow, painful erosion of French in Montreal.

EXCUSE MY FRENCH

My wife visited a "nail bar" in the city center. All information on products and services are in English only, and the clerk is unable to utter a single word in French.

We will park our car. The officer is unable to speak to me in my language, and throwing a tantrum when I ask him why he did not speak a word of French while working with the public.

We go into an activity center for children with our 20 month old son. All rhymes distributed during the workshop are English and 80% of the indications given by the instructor are in the language of Mordecai.

EN FRANCAIS ONLY

My wife points to a yoga class. The teacher does not speak a word of French, even if 75% of these people are speaking.

Last week, Montrealers were invited to an exhibition of hip young designers. Name of the event? The Smart Design Mart, "a unique platform comprised of a variety of talented young designers," said (in Klingon?) the invitation.

The website is unilingual English.

Two weeks ago, I went to a fundraising event for the benefit of a support organization for troubled youth. The indications were in English only and the organizers did not speak a word of French.

I go to a Italian restaurant: the host is unable to speak to me in my language. I go to a restaurant in Chinatown: unable to get served in my language.

I go to a furniture shop Service in English only.

All this in a few days.

A war against English, Master Gray? Really?

QUEBEC IS RACIST!

Have you read the survey that we published on the world of work in Montreal? You are unilingual English: you experience no problem getting a job. You are unilingual French: they refuse to hire you because you do not speak English.

Before yesterday, my wife enrolled in a class of stationary bike in a gym. The teacher speaks only English, even if 12 customers are speaking. My wife goes to see the girl at the front desk to complain about: the girl is a unilingual anglophone.

Back at home, my wife tells this story on Twitter.

Lesley Chesterman, a journalist for The Gazette, reads his entry and becomes crazy.

"I stopped following a Quebec media person on Twitter Because of all her Anglo bashing," she writes.

Then: "It's the only thing I hate about living in this province. It's racist and it drives me crazy. I'm tired!"

It is racist, now want to be served in French? Well.

NO PROBLEM

Meanwhile, Andre Pratte La Presse wrote that "the erosion of French in Montreal is a figment of the imagination, and Julius Gray says the time has come" to stop the battle against the English. " You're joking, or what?

Nothing

After a controversial referendum, the Swiss have decided to ban construction of minarets. Personally, I think it's a bad way to fight against Islamism.

Banning the burqa? I would support this proposal without hesitation. Prohibit the wearing of headscarves in girls? 100% agree.

Denounce unreasonable accommodations that allow religious fundamentalists to practice gender segregation? Of course. Rage against the radical imams who preach hatred in their mosques? Certainly. And firmly.

But banning minarets, the aim is not political Islam. It would take religion at full strength, it is served to all Muslims that they will not know anything about them.

TWO TYPES OF VICTIMS

In my opinion, those who criticize the choice of Swiss are right to be indignant.

That said ... There are 1.5 million Christians in Saudi Arabia. Not only are these Christians have no right to build towers, but they were not even allowed to build churches and pray in public!

ANY non-Muslim religious practice is allowed in public in Saudi Arabia, and Catholic priests are routinely harassed or jailed.

Now, you read editorials denouncing racism, xenophobia and intolerance of the Saudis?

No.

Yet the religious persecution during which there is much worse than what is currently happening in Switzerland!

TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

Amazing how the West is quick to criticize but slow to condemn the atrocities committed by the other regions of the globe.

When it comes time to self-flagellation, we're here! But when it comes to attacking the racism and intolerance of others, we lower our eyes and turn away their eyes.

To punish the Swiss have voted Yes in the referendum antiminarets some Muslim businessmen threaten to boycott products from Switzerland and withdraw their assets in the country.

Christians around the world have they wielded such economic threat to the Saudis? No, on the contrary, it has never done much business with them! They are our allies, our partners!

That's the main difference between Muslims and Christians.

When they receive a slap, Muslims replicate. While Christians ask forgiveness and offer the other cheek ...

RADIO SILENCE

Currently, journalists and political analysts SWISS publish open letters in SWISS newspapers to criticize the referendum result SWITZERLAND.

They climbed the barricades to defend the religious freedom of their fellow Muslims.

They are where the Saudi Muslims who defend the rights of Christians persecuted in their country?

Nowhere.

What happened in Switzerland may be distressing. But there was a vote. A referendum. A democratic process. People have been entitled to the chapter, they were able to discuss, share, discuss.

While in most Muslim countries, democracy is a dead letter.

Intolerance, daily. And silent accomplice.

A VIEW OF THE SPIRIT?

A word on language, in conclusion.

Recently, in La Presse, André Pratte wrote that the erosion of French in Montreal is a figment of the imagination.

I do not know where is Mr. Pratte, but I invite him to follow me for a week. Almost everyday, I stumble to Anglophones who totally fuck with my language.

I'll give examples in the coming days. Story to show you that Mr. Pratte is taking his ideas to reality.

Yesterday I told you the story of the police chief of Windsor who had to publicly apologize to the Muslim community in Ontario because one of its agents had searched the wife of a radical Islamist wanted by the FBI during a police operation.

This column brought me several reactions, including an email from a policeman SPVM.

WHAT "DAMAGE"?

"I have been accused in police ethics for speaking with the wife of a Muslim, told me the agent who wishes to preserve his anonymity.

"The man wanted to talk to me after an intervention that had involved earlier in the day. He phoned the station and asked what my partner and I were going to meet with him.

"It was presented at the time requested, but the man was not present. His wife told us. The lady was hesitant, talkative and somewhat unaware of the situation. We were courteous to her, and we recorded this event in our report.

"A few months later, we received a letter from the Commissioner of Police Ethics accusing me of abusing my power over the woman in question. Although no complaint was made against me and my partner, the police of Montreal still has apologized to the lady for the "damage" caused for this "unfortunate" incident ...

"The worst is that I have never met or consulted about this complaint. However, the police apologized on my behalf because I did my job!"

INTIMIDATION

Every time I tell stories of accommodations, I get emails accusing me of racism and xenophobia.

It's an old trick: we leave the word "racist" when someone dares to criticize the religious extremists in the hope that someone will take his hole and close the mouth.

I have bad news for you, boys: it does not work with me. If it worked, it's been a long time that I should write more, the number of emails I get insulted every day.

In fact, I would say that it has the opposite effect. The more you attack me, the more I want to write on the subject.

I'm not eating meat for eight months, I still kept my head pig.

BAD PUGLIA!

A few days ago, I said I did not understand why the police gave tickets to young people who make the squeegee.

This earned me several emails from people screaming against "that damned lousy who ask for money".

A man wrote me that her son was beaten up by the homeless. I understand his anger. But when I was young, I got beaten up by some Englishmen. Does it mean that all Englishmen are savages? Of course not.

Just as Muslims are not all Islamists. Remember the documentary of Paul Arcand, Les voleurs d'enfance? Arcand was walking in a park frequented by homeless and asked the young people present who were awarded by host families.

The vast majority raised their hands.

Contrary to what some people think, young people living on the street are not rich kids who are poor.

These are often young skinned alive. And they should be disgusted because they ask for money?

Like the stories of accommodation? You'll love it.

On 31 October, at the request of the RCMP and the FBI, police in Windsor, Ontario, have arrested two Islamist radicals who are suspected of having links with an extremist group of Detroit: Mohammad Al-Sahli, 33, and Yassir Ali Khan, 30.

PUBLIC APOLOGY

During this operation, a police officer searched the wife of Ali Khan.

However, this kind of contact between a man and a woman is considered highly inappropriate by Muslims. As explained by counsel for Ms. Khan, "Muslims have no right to have physical contact with a man who is not part of their family. If a Muslim woman must be searched during a police operation, it must be searched by a policewoman, not by a policeman."

Result: Members of the Muslim community have asked the Ontario Police Chief Windsor public apology.

What did the chief? Has he defended his troops? Has he said the imams of the municipality that was not there to meet religious regulations archaic, but to make arrests and to protect public safety?

No. He held a press conference and presented his most sincere apologies to the Muslim community.

"Next time, he said, we will arrange for a properly trained officer may be present during such operations ..."

AWARENESS WORKSHOPS

You coat the compromises that have been granted by the SAAQ?

This is nothing compared to what is happening in Ontario.

For now on, the Muslims of Windsor wanted by the police can choose the sex of the officer who searches, arrest them and handcuffed.

In 2007, the Windsor Police have been entitled to "workshops to raise awareness of cultural difference" to know how to stop people from different religions. When these "workshops", the police were able to discuss with representatives of 12 different communities.

"But this has clearly not been enough," said Chief of Police in Windsor. We will organize other workshops of its kind ... "

One of these "workshops" will be moderated by a member of the Islamic Association of Windsor.

HIDE THE MEN!

Do you know what we should do? We should withdraw all men schools, CPE, gyms, public service and police stations. That way, the Muslim women would not be bothered sexually.

They are assured of always falling on a woman when they are dealing with these services.

We would move the guys in the basement and we would ask them to open envelopes or sorting mail.

THE NOSE HAIR

Here, while we're on the subject of burlesque accommodations, I have a good, alleging the magazine Courrier International:

"There are about ten years, a debate triggered by a rabbi concluded that we could pick his nose during the Sabbath. The discussion had focused on the fact that in the context of this activity, it could happen that one tore the hairs of the nose or it is forbidden to cut hair and hair on the Sabbath ... "

"Another rabbi proclaimed that Jews could not wear Crocs shoes for the day of Atonement, because they were too comfortable on this day of fasting and meditation ..."

This is not great?

Two weeks ago in the Maclean's, Canadian columnist Mark Steyn has published a very interesting text on the rise of fascism in Europe.

He emphasized that the right-wing parties are gaining popularity in Europe. Everywhere in England, Finland, Belgium, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Slovakia and the Netherlands, the extreme right gaining points and succeeded in electing candidates.

NATURE ABHORS A VACUUM

To Steyn, the reason for the resurrection of the fascist movements in Europe is clear: they take advantage of the vacuum created by the parties of the center-right and center-left.

"Today, he writes," politicians can not talk about anything without being insulting. You have questions about immigration? You are racist! About crime? Racist! Social assistance? Racist! Of Islam? Doubleracist! "

Result: the traditional parties take their hole, close the mouth and no longer deal with issues a little tricky, for fear of being rolled in the mud.

What happens then to the voters who feel a LEGITIMATE unease at the rise of radical Islam? Citizens who wonder whether their country has the means to absorb all the immigrants it receives? People who experience problems with the unreasonable demands of certain groups?

They turn to the extreme right, because the traditional parties have decided to close the mouth on these issues.

A LEFT FRILEUX

That is why, according to Steyn, the fascists are gaining popularity in Europe because they are the only political activists who speak openly about these subjects.

They talk about evil. They talk about it anyway. They speak with spite and ignorance.

But at least they talk about!

Whereas among other politicians, is the silence.

As long as the traditional parties will not have the courage to tackle genuine FRANCHEMENT and these taboos, but very important, the right-wing parties continue to win points with the electorate.

Contrary to what some well-thinking intellectuals, family, nation, immigration, the fight against crime, the fight against terrorism and religion are not subjects of law. " These are matters, period.

If these questions have come to be associated with the right because the left has not had the courage to discuss it.

In short, if the extreme right is becoming stronger because the left and center-right parties are becoming more cautious, more fearful.

Increasingly disconnected.

MOLSON: HAVE WE THE RIGHT TO QUESTION?

I understand that the CBC and La Presse are relieved that Quebecor did not put his hand on the Canadian. I also understand that The Gazette is pleased that the jewel of the NHL back in the lap of the Molson family.

But beyond this great Love Fest Montreal media for this, can I ask questions about the background of this transaction?

For example, who are the partners of Molson secrets? Is it true that much of the money comes from Toronto? Why the League accepts Does a company, CTVglobemedia, has a financial interest in two clubs, the Canadiens and the Maple Leafs?

It seems to me that these are questions that deserve answers, right?
