In Ottawa, francophones have more than equal rights : they have special status…..more than the Italians, the Greeks, the Jews and the Asians who have contributed so much more than to our city that the French did…….No other minority group has been treated as well as the way francophones have been treated not only in in Ottawa but also in the rest of Canada….Bilingualism has turned the federal government into francophone fraternities….. Why, the government phone book now looks like a voters list in Lac St- Jean. (OC170101)

Bouchard was a passionate, effective voice, an able and intelligent politician and an affable man if you overlook certain characteristics who were also attributed to Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-tung and Idi Amin…..Bouchard was an enemy of Canada…..he committed the ultimate act of betrayal when he left federal politics to join the Quebec separatists in their bid to destroy Canada……an enemy of the concept of Canada as will be his successor…..he’s gone but separatism isn’t. (Peter Worthington, OS 160101)

Bouchard has resigned and it’s another separatist lunatic that will take over the asylum that is Quebec…..A party now run by younger militants racists and doddering old fools……their language policies and their « pure laine » racism will get them excluded from the international world markets whose working language is English only (OS 140101)

What is astounding is that Bouchard and his cronies were never charged with treason……I hope our weak federal government will soon summon the cojones to treat them as the traitors they are (OS 150101)

A relative of Bouchard’s wife was imprisoned at Auschwitz…..Ms Best’s step-grandfather was a French Jew ….Evelyne Abitbol, Bouchard’s former press attaché is Jewish, and he has many Jewish

friends……Michaud cannot understand the furor his words caused and rather wonders why Charles Bronman was not censured also when, in 1976, he described the Parti Quebecois as « bastards trying to take away my country ». NP 130101)

Ethnic votes during the referendum kept this country intact and I didn’t hear a single word of thanks addressed to them.(TS 111100)

The Frankenweenie Games are coming to Ottawa…..Oh, sorry, I meant Francophony. Sorry I mean Francophonie…..some of them will play at Kick-the-Queen-in-her-royal-bumba to the strains of La Marseilleise…..French kiss me once and French-kiss me once again (Earl McCrae, OS 240900)

It would be an insult and an outrage for the 85% of Ottawa’s population that is anglophone if the new city is declared officially bilingual. Again, bilingualism (meaning francophones) it will be shoved down our throats (OS 011299)

The fight for French means linguistic cleansing in Ontario. The dispersion of anglophones and allophones from Ontario will turn ugly because they have nowhere to go. Linguistic persecution in Canada must come to an end. Ontario’s Bill 8 must be repealed. (OCC1099)

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Prime Minister Chretien musters the courage to tell Ralph Klein that Edmonton, as a capital city, must be declared officially blingual.

In response to your bigoted and feeble attempt to support bilingualism for Ottawa, I can do without you and your rag so cancel my subscription.

Here we go again : 18% of the population dictating to the 82% majority. The amalgamation of Ottawa takes a « distinc» odour as we introduce French by decree. The smart francophones gain experience, hone their English and move south. The not so smart stay and keep on ruling Canada (OC 020300)

Yesterday, incendiary language was used by opponents of bilingualism. « Racist » and « dumb » epithets were tossed at Quebecers in general and French speaking members of the Ottawa transition board, during a meeting last night.

You’re welcome to leave anytime, frogs. Just leave this land that anglo tax payers have paid for entirely and died for during two world wars while you went into hiding and allowed Hitler to take over. Go, separatists and take that f… pegleg pr…with you. And old crooked mouth also. (Internet)

What an insult to Canadian history. Our new Governor General attended a ceremony honoring Louis Riel, a criminal who killed priests and tortured and raped women.
