    Do you have a link to the individual/organisation that appeared in front of the committee in the last week arguing literacy requirements be met by immigrants before they be allowed to vote? I believe it was a PQ presentation...

      All said, I'm sure it could be a minor issue in ROC too if the captain of a team didn't speak English.

          It wasn't about voting, it was about being allowed to run in an election.

              Well that's what it is here too... Let me guess : it's been overblown by the English press ?

                I guess I can try find it, but I have no idea what you are talking about.
                I live in Europe now and don't follow Quebec local news that much.
                Most of my Quebec news come from Asher in fact, he's very assiduous in making sure we are stay up to date on his favourite topic and for that, I salute him

                      How can you overblow something is patently stupid, self-serving, xenophobic as this story?

                      You can downplay it all you want, but it is an EMBARRASSMENT to this country.

                        Koivu is the captain of the team, there are some PR responsibilities attached to his role, hence some criticisms that he should speak French. Personally I don't care, but calling this xenophobic is a trollish stretch.

                          This point makes no sense.

                          Was this stupid?
                          Probably.
                          Xenophobic?
                          Maybe.

                          Was it overblown?
                          Mightily.

                          Some nobody talking out of his ass does not a story make.
                          Heck if we had to write a story everytime somebody anywhere says things like this, we'd have to stop publishing anything else.


                          Asher, you sometimes make sense in some threads but seriously:
                          if anyone was trying to pass an article on some other topic about some rando's opinion, no matter how stupid, into a solid article that is supposed to shows embarassment, you would be laughing at him and insulting him.


                          Why the inconsistency?
                          What would you tell me if I quoted an article saying this one guy in Calgary said Chinese were *******s?

                            Ahh, it was Bill 195 I was after. Nice piece of work and from reading it I can see why the Separtists don't want to talk about it here. I'll post the whole thing if I can't find a summary somewhere else...

                              It's one ***hole doing something he's been known to do for a long time. Stir up ****.
                              At least we don't have him co-hosting the french version of Hockey night in Canada.
                              What?

                                We dont give a shlt. Its just something the press thought of to stir some shlt up.

                                Everyone here, including the comedians, are making fun of these stupid politicians and journalists.
