            <description>I recently found out that ALL Canadians are supposed to be informed and consulted about ALL proposed 'laws' that will affect their lives - BEFORE - they are enacted.&amp;nbsp; (&lt;i&gt;Paraphrasing here - will post 'verbatim' - within the next couple of days)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt; It seems its a part of our constitutional rights&amp;nbsp; and - believe it or not - states very clearly - that any politician who does NOT respect or give the general public access to voice their opinions and/or vote... must quit or be removed from&amp;nbsp; his/her seat in government!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Therefore - all laws that have been amended and/or&amp;nbsp; enacted into law: For example: Changes to our Charter Of Rights - The Language Laws - Nation Status Laws - and all the other countless -&lt;i&gt; too many to write here.. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;'Laws&lt;/u&gt;'&amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;require our Consent &lt;/u&gt;!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Note**&amp;nbsp; (See response in its entirety below)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &quot;...The CGD &quot;publishes&quot; the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; pursuant to Section 10 of the &quot;Statutory Instruments Act&quot; which stipulates that the &quot;Queen's Printer shall continue to publish the Canada Gazette as the official gazette of Canada.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &quot;According to an interpretation by counsels Betty Rollo and Alain Prévost of the Privy Council Office,&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;&quot; tag=&quot;span&quot; class=&quot;yui-tag-span yui-tag&quot;&gt; &quot;publish&quot; means &quot;&lt;b&gt;to make publicly or generally known&lt;/b&gt;&quot; &lt;/span&gt;which also&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0); text-decoration: none;&quot; tag=&quot;span&quot; class=&quot;yui-tag-span yui-tag&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;includes&lt;/b&gt; the &lt;b&gt;printing and distribution &lt;/b&gt;of the &quot;Canada Gazette.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;-------------&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: yui-tmp;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Correspondence to date:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Note**&amp;nbsp; I will be addressing the reply - section by section - in on going posts.&amp;nbsp; For the moment - wrap this around your head.&amp;nbsp; I for one - spent 4 hours...&amp;nbsp; trying to navigate my way around this 'Fountain of Available Information'&amp;nbsp; and haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the multiple index's - let alone find the laws that are of concern ! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 11:23 AM&lt;br&gt;To: Info Gazette&lt;br&gt;Subject: Canada Gazette Distribution&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Attention: Carole Kennedy, Director, Canada Gazette Directorate &lt;br&gt;Open Letter to: Director of Canada Gazette&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dear Ms. Kennedy,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Having only recently been made aware of the 'existence'&amp;nbsp; of Canada Gazette - and its importance to the public. As a matter of fact,&amp;nbsp; I believe - it is crucial for every Canadian have not only 'access' to it&amp;nbsp; - but understand from its mandate..&amp;nbsp; it 'must be made available' to the general public - at all times, no?&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Therefore - why are weekly copies of this most important - paper - not - being delivered to our mailboxes?&amp;nbsp; After all - multi millions of citizens do not use the internet.&amp;nbsp; And as you yourself state: &quot;The Canada Gazette Directorate is committed to maintaining the highest level of client service. As the main point of contact for clients who publish notices in the Canada Gazette, our team recognizes the importance of providing accurate information to our clients in a timely and courteous fashion.&quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am hard pressed to reconcile.. the general public's&amp;nbsp; absolute&amp;nbsp; 'unawareness' of its - very existence!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Is this not a very clear violation in fact, of your paper's mandate?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I'll limit this email to the above and anxiously await your reply,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Sincerely&lt;br&gt;Didi M&lt;br&gt;____________&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot; tag=&quot;span&quot; class=&quot;yui-tag-span yui-tag&quot;&gt;The Reply:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good afternoon,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for visiting the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; Web site and for your comments. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&quot;The Canada Gazette,&quot; which consists of three parts, is the official publication of the Government of Canada since 1841. Part I (1841) contains the Government's official and legal notices and proposed regulations as well as the private sector's official public notices; Part II (1947), enacted regulations and regulatory texts; and Part III (1974), enacted acts and their proclamations. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;The mandate of the Canada Gazette Directorate (CGD) is to produce, publish and distribute the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; pursuant to the &quot;Statutory Instruments Act&quot; which you access on Justice Canada's Web site at http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/en/S-22/FullText.html and the &quot;Statutory Instruments Regulations,&quot; at http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/en/C.R.C.-C.1509/FullText.html.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The keywords of the CGD's mandate can mislead the public due to their legal definitions in the &quot;Statutory Instruments Act&quot; and Regulations.&amp;nbsp; The CGD &quot;produces&quot; the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; by editing/proofreading all legal texts and notices received from its various public and private sector clients and formats the notices into a publication, i.e. printed and electronical versions. &lt;br&gt;According to Section 10 of the &quot;Statutory Instruments Regulations,&quot; (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/en/C.R.C.-C.1509/FullText.html), &quot;The typography, style and format of Part I, Part II and Part III of the Canada Gazette shall be substantially similar to the typography, style and format of the public general Acts of the Parliament of Canada.&quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;The CGD &quot;publishes&quot; the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; pursuant to Section 10 of the &quot;Statutory Instruments Act&quot; (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/en/S-22/FullText.html) which stipulates that the &quot;Queen's Printer shall continue to publish the Canada Gazette as the official gazette of Canada. &quot;According to an interpretation by counsels Betty Rollo and Alain Prévost of the Privy Council Office, &quot;publish&quot; means &quot;to make publicly or generally known&quot; which also includes the printing and distribution of the &quot;Canada Gazette.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Even though the Canada Gazette Directorate is responsible for producing, publishing and distributing the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; federal government departments and agencies as well as private sector organizations are responsible of submitting the information for publication in the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; and of answering any questions and/or comments &lt;br&gt;concerning the information in question. The Department of Justice is responsible for the regulatory process and the acts and regulations database. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;The CGD &quot;distributes&quot; the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; to Members of Parliament and to the public according to the &quot;Statutory &lt;br&gt;Instruments Act.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &quot;13. (1) A copy of each regulation that is published in the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; shall be provided to each member of the Senate and House of Commons by delivering to each such member without charge a copy of the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; in which the regulation is published.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (2) Copies of the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; shall be delivered without charge to such persons or classes of persons, in addition to those described in subsection (1), as may be prescribed and may be sold to any person on payment of the charge prescribed therefor.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Also according to Section 20 of the &quot;Statutory Instruments Regulations,&quot; (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/en/C.R.C.-C.1509/FullText.html):&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &quot;Copies of Part I, Part II and Part III of the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; may be sold to any person upon payment of the appropriate charge therefor set out in Schedule II.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;In other words, paid publications and subscriptions had and were always made available to Canadians but they had to either buy a copy or subscribe to the publication to receive it at home. In order to ensure sale and distribution of the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; the Publishing and Depository Services Directorate of Public Works and Government &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Services Canada (PWGSC) are responsible for the sale of subscriptions to the print copy of the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; in &lt;br&gt;accordance with Treasury Board's Communications Policy.

Please consult the Depository Services Program at http://dsp-psd.communication.gc.ca/index-e.html or call them toll free at 1-800-635-7943. To find a depository library in your area, please visit the Depository Services Program's Web page entitled &quot;Depository Libraries&quot; at http://www.dsp-psd.communication.gc.ca/Depo/table-e.html, click on your province of residence and scroll down to your city or call them at the above-mentioned toll-free number.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;To ensure quick access to the public at large, all three parts of the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; are available free of charge on the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; Web site at http://gazette.gc.ca/index-eng.html in PDF (Portable Document Format) since 1998 - official for issues published after April 1, 2003 - and in a unilingual alternate format for persons with disabilities in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) in April 2000 which was upgraded to a more user-friendly HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) format in 2003. The issues are listed under the heading &quot;Recent Publications&quot; and &quot;Archives&quot; on the left-hand side of the screen. The &quot;Recent Publications&quot; heading contains all the issues of the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; Part I, Part II and Part III that were published in 2009 and that have been published to date in 2010. The &quot;Archives&quot; section contains all the issues of the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; Part I, Part II and Part III that were published between 1998 and 2008.&amp;nbsp; To ensure access to the issues of the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; Part I, Part II and Part III that were published prior to 1998, please visit the Library and Archives Canada (LAC) Web site entitled &quot;A Nation's Chronicle: The Canada Gazette&quot; at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/canada-gazette/index-e.html. All issues dating from &lt;br&gt;1841 to 1997 should be digitized and online by October 2010.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;In order to increase awareness of the existence of the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; a commemorative book entitled &quot;160 years of the Canada Gazette&quot; was published in 2001 and is available free of charge in HTML and PDF formats on the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; Web site at http://www.gazette.gc.ca/cg-gc/history-histoire-eng.html. Upon its publication, a complimentary copy was sent to every school within Canada to make children aware of this publication and, through them, their parents and family. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Also to make the important information even more accessible, the Canada Gazette Directorate offers the opportunity to receive updates on the most recent content pertaining to five specific categories published in the &quot;Canada Gazette,&quot; Part I, by subscribing to the &quot;Canada Gazette&quot; RSS feeds, free of charge. For information on how to subscribe to these, please visit the Web page entitled &quot;RSS Feeds&quot; at http://www.gazette.gc.ca/st-ri/rss-eng.html.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;The Canada Gazette Directorate as shown above does fulfill its mandate and responsibilities. But Canadians, as citizens of Canada, also have responsibilities; one of them being to be informed of the laws and regulations governing their country.&lt;br&gt;As this latin expression stipulates: Ignorantia juris non excusat or Ignorantia legis neminem excusat (which means &quot;ignorance of the law does not excuse&quot; or &quot;ignorance of the law excuses no one&quot;) is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because he or she was unaware of its content. Therefore the onus is on each Canadian to inform himself or herself of the laws and regulations as well as the means to access them such as through his/her member of Parliament, a legal office, a library, etc. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;We trust this information will be useful and we invite you to contact us should you have any questions or comments concerning the &quot;Canada Gazette.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;La Direction de la Gazette du Canada | Canada Gazette Directorate 350, rue Albert | 350 Albert Street Ottawa, Canada&amp;nbsp; K1A 0S5 Gouvernement du Canada | Government of Canada&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;</description>

            <description>Canada's Voice:&amp;nbsp; Canada's Broadcasting Act states:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;3. (1) It is hereby declared as the broadcasting policy for Canada that&lt;br&gt;(l) the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, as the national public broadcaster, should provide radio and television services incorporating a wide range of programming that informs, enlightens and entertains;&lt;br&gt;(m) the programming provided by the Corporation should:&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (i) be predominantly and distinctively Canadian,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (ii) reflect Canada and its regions to national and regional audiences, while serving the special needs of those &lt;br&gt;regions,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (iii) actively contribute to the flow and exchange of cultural expression,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (iv) be in English and in French, reflecting the different needs and circumstances of each official language &lt;br&gt;community, including the particular needs and circumstances of English and French linguistic minorities,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (v) strive to be of equivalent quality in English and in French,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (vi) contribute to shared national consciousness and identity,&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (vii) be made available throughout Canada by the most appropriate and efficient means and as resources &lt;br&gt;become available for the purpose, and&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (viii) reflect the multicultural and multiracial nature of Canada;&lt;br&gt;(n) where any conflict arises between the objectives of the Corporation set out in paragraphs (l) and (m) and the &lt;br&gt;interests of any other broadcasting undertaking of the Canadian broadcasting system, it shall be resolved in the &lt;br&gt;public interest, and where the public interest would be equally served by resolving the conflict in favour of either, it &lt;br&gt;shall be resolved in favour of the objectives set out in paragraphs (l) and (m).&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CBC's Voice:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CBC/Radio-Canada Programming and National Consciousness and Identity &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PREAMBLE &lt;br&gt;The Parliament of Canada through the Broadcasting Act of 1991 requires that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation &quot;contribute to a shared national consciousness and identity&quot;.&amp;nbsp; The CBC/Radio-Canada does so by providing &quot;a wide range of programming that informs, enlightens and entertains&quot; through a range of broadcasting services in English and in French.&lt;br&gt;POLICY: CBC Program policy rests on certain premises, which distinguish the Corporation's philosophy: &lt;br&gt;(a)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The air waves belong to the people, who are entitled to hear the principal points of view on all questions of importance.&lt;br&gt;(b)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The airwaves must not fall under the control of any individuals or groups influential because of their special position.&lt;br&gt;(c)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The full exchange of opinion is one of the principal safeguards of free institutions.&lt;br&gt;(d)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Corporation maintains and exercises editorial authority, control and responsibility for the content of all programs broadcast on its facilities.&lt;br&gt;(e)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The Corporation itself takes no editorial position in its programming.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PROGRAMMING&lt;br&gt;In its programming the CBC/Radio-Canada has a mandate to:&lt;br&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &quot;be predominantly and distinctively Canadian,&lt;br&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; reflect Canada and its regions to national and regional audiences, while serving the special needs of those regions,&lt;br&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; actively contribute to the flow and exchange of cultural expression,&lt;br&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; be in English and French, reflecting the different needs and circumstances of each official language community, including the particular needs and circumstances of English and French linguistic minorities,&lt;br&gt;•&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; reflect the multicultural and multiracial nature of Canada.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT AND PERFORMANCE PROGRAMMING&lt;br&gt;The CBC/Radio-Canada creates arts and entertainment and performance programming that is reflective of all regions of the country and of the diverse communities resident in these regions. The expression of the Canadian experience provides the roots and inspiration for distinctive Canadian programming.&lt;br&gt;This presentation of the Canadian experience in the CBC/Radio-Canada's art and entertainment and performance programming enables Canadians to share the cultural expressions of their diverse heritage, to laugh and to reflect together, to enjoy the talent of their artists and performers and to experience their common and unique histories and traditions..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.2 PROGRAMMING OBJECTIVES FOR CBC/RADIO-CANADA&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;INFORMATION PROGRAMMING&lt;br&gt;Freedom of speech, opinion and expression; the free flow and exchange of ideas, opinions and information are fundamental tenets of Canadian Society.&lt;br&gt;CBC/Radio-Canada's function in such a community is to facilitate the exercise of this freedom by communicating to the public the information and ideas that are the ingredients of free discussion and debate.&lt;br&gt;CBC/Radio-Canada information programs apply the principles of the CBC/Radio-Canada Journalistic Standards and Practices, accuracy, integrity and fairness, to achieve optimum objectivity and balance.&lt;br&gt;The role of the CBC/Radio-Canada, then, in its information programming, is to inform Canadians about the issues they confront as they decide upon their future through the democratic process. The exercise of this responsibility calls both for identifying and exploring the issues confronting Canadians fairly and thoroughly, comprehensively and accurately, and for reflecting differing views about these issues, fully and fairly, and in a balanced manner, taking into account the weight of opinion which holds those views.&lt;br&gt;CBC/Radio-Canada's information programs must reflect Canada as a nation and explore the social, economic, political, cultural, and linguistic dimensions of Canadian nationhood. They do so by providing coverage of the issues and ideas of concern to Canadians and by presenting the broad range of opinion on these matters of public concern.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The CBC/Radio-Canada's Journalistic Standards and Practices states in part:&lt;br&gt;&quot;The challenging of accepted orthodoxies should be reported but so also should the established views be clearly put. Moreover, the range of views and the weight of opinion are changing and these dynamics of change must be reflected.&amp;nbsp; Nor are range and breadth of presentation sufficient in journalistic programming: there must also be depth, the capturing of dimensions and nuances. Without these elements, the programming becomes too simplistic to permit adequate comprehension of the issues put before the public.&lt;br&gt;If the media are to do their work reflecting and revealing reality properly, there will at times be tension between the media and different elements of society. This should not inhibit the CBC/Radio-Canada, so long as the Corporation in its information programming is carrying out this essential task of informing the public in accordance with its established journalistic standards.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;TRAINING &lt;br&gt;In light of Canada’s linguistic duality, the Corporation shall ensure that newly hired employees are given the information they need to understand the importance of the two official-language communities, their interdependence, and the significance of mutual support and respect between them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;RESPONSIBILITY&lt;br&gt;The overall objectives of CBC/Radio-Canada programs with respect to contributing to a shared national consciousness and identity rest with the Media Vice Presidents, Program Directors, Managers and Section Heads, but Producers and Journalists are responsible for carrying out these objectives in their programs.&lt;br&gt;1.

            <title>B.C. Fed., Liberal Candidate Public Conversation on Quebec Language Issue</title>
            <link>http://www.politicallyincorrectandproudofit.net/index/b-c-fed-liberal-candidate-public-conversation-slams-shut-letter-1</link>
            <description>&lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Letter # 1 - to - Dan Veniez&amp;nbsp; Federal Liberal Candidate in British Columbia: &amp;amp;&amp;nbsp; Mr. Veniez's reply # 1.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tuesday, May 25, 2010&lt;br&gt;Response to Dan Veniez - On his.. &quot;The Michael Ignatieff I Know&quot; article&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note:&amp;nbsp; Although I firmly agree with Mr. Veniez's&amp;nbsp; take on the non stop media bashing of Michael Ignatieff&amp;nbsp; etc..&amp;nbsp; I was horrified to see him brag about and 'Praise'&amp;nbsp; Quebec's Nation - Status.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Quebec's 30 year, ongoing&amp;nbsp; Ethnic Cleansing - of its 400 year long English history - now as reviled - Les Autres (other) -&amp;nbsp; and English population in my opinion is the very last thing one would imagine anyone possessing any intellect or semblance thereof - would brag about, no?&amp;nbsp; Ergo this letter.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Find the article from his home page:&amp;nbsp; http://www.danveniez.ca&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sent to: dan@danveniez.ca&amp;nbsp; 05-24-2010&amp;nbsp; from: didi1947@gmail.com&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dear Mr. Veniez,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I read your article with great interest, having been a Federal Liberal Party Supporter - since you were 5 years old - and having lived in Quebec since 1954, I am compelled to let you know how very 'alarmed' I am to discover that Michael Ignatieff - was the FIRST to recognize Quebec as a Nation&amp;nbsp; - and that you obviously SUPPORT - the continued devastation and destruction this 'supposed nationhood'&amp;nbsp; has wreaked on the OTHER Quebeckers that not only helped build the COUNTRY of Canada - but more importantly - were a vital part of the building of Quebeck - for 400 years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This 'nationhood'&amp;nbsp; has managed nothing other than to remove&amp;nbsp; the (now called autres - other) language - rights and freedoms - that you continue to and&amp;nbsp; presently enjoy and take advantage of in beautiful BC;&amp;nbsp; but is DENIED to over 2.5 Millon Quebeckers&amp;nbsp; and was responsible for the biggest mass migration of a population that felt FORCED to leave their homes - since World War II .&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It has legalized ETHNIC CLEANSING to an entirely new level that is obviously fully supported by our Present Liberal Party&amp;nbsp; - Even Though - WE&amp;nbsp; the English and Immigrant community of Quebec were Promised - over and over again - that if we were patient and supported the Federal Liberal Party&amp;nbsp; - this horrible language law and subsequent ugly discrimination we were subjected to in EVERY&amp;nbsp; aspect of our lives,&amp;nbsp; would BE RECTIFIED once the Party was re-elected!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; That turned into a 30 year&amp;nbsp; continued&amp;nbsp; series of BROKEN PROMISES from our once much beloved Liberal Party.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am writing this - because - you were obviously only&amp;nbsp; 10 years old - when the disgraceful and grotesque language laws were enacted, and I have to assume you were denied the TRUTH about those &quot;Autres&quot;&amp;nbsp; that were such a supposed a blight on La Belle Province;&amp;nbsp; and raised with the&amp;nbsp; FALSE belief that the French language was in jeopardy and needed to be protected - from the surrounding 'Sea Of English';&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And the way to do it was - to&amp;nbsp; ERASE&amp;nbsp; the&amp;nbsp; ENTIRE CULTURE and Language&amp;nbsp; of Quebec's&amp;nbsp; Other Founding People...&amp;nbsp; all&amp;nbsp; 3 million of them&amp;nbsp; (notwithstanding Our Decimated&amp;nbsp; Native Population - who are the ONLY TRUE 'Founders of Canada) who had for your information - lived in HARMONY&amp;nbsp; with their&amp;nbsp; Francophone Friends, Family and neighbors for over 400 years.&amp;nbsp; So much so - that the Province had become the RICHEST and most PROSPOROUS one in Canada!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It was also one of the Best places to live in North America.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What has always puzzled and dismayed me is:&amp;nbsp; The seeming total blindness - absolute and&amp;nbsp; outright cruel&amp;nbsp; disregard- coming from supposedly worldly and educated - 'Leaders' such as yourself - when it comes to the non francophone ' community' s&amp;nbsp; PLIGHT and cries for help.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Being so educated - obviously intelligent enough to run some of our largest businesses&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; the ONLY conclusion one can possibly reach is that - you too - knowingly and deliberately support and promote - the ERASURE of an entire population OUT&amp;nbsp; of Quebec.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It is obviously&amp;nbsp; NOT for the good of Quebec - given its continued 'Bottom of the Barrel'&amp;nbsp; status&amp;nbsp; both financially and ethically - in the country - and its current UGLY reputation around the world.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So I have to ask - how on earth you can PRAISE&amp;nbsp; Quebec's&amp;nbsp; &quot;Nation Status&quot;?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The question is WHY.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Below is a copy of part of an ongoing Facebook dialogue, I sent, only this morning, to a young man - who asked why I wasn't posting in French.&amp;nbsp; It will give you at least a hint of the facts that one - NEVER sees printed - let alone discussed - from ANY of our supposed 'Leaders'&amp;nbsp; - who seemingly have&amp;nbsp; blindly - accepted and supported the righteousness (as if there could be such a thing to anyone with any sense of human decency, rights and morality) - of&amp;nbsp; Canada's and Quebec's&amp;nbsp; Factual Ethnic Cleansing - that will forever be etched as Canada's Greatest Shame - in future history books!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well Philip my dear. Here's something you may still not be AWARE of, even though I have written it countless times. &lt;br&gt;First and foremost - The freedom to ENROLL into the French School System - was DENIED to population Anglo/Allo BY the French Catholic Education Board - that RULED not only the French School System - but pretty much the essence of ... the Francophone population in Quebec.&amp;nbsp; My parents tried to have us EDUCATED in FRENCH - from the moment we landed in this province - back in 1954!!&amp;nbsp; We were NOT ALLOWED IN!! Therefore - because they were not rich - just poor immigrants - they could NOT Afford Private Schools and were forced to learn the French language in our schools and through our FRENCH FRIENDS. The French school system only opened to NON Francophones - AFTER the PQ took power!&amp;nbsp; Therefore: My French written grammatical skills are extremely limited to this day. And if you wonder WHY I didn't &lt;br&gt;take courses etc.... to perfect my skills in French - The first reason is: Although Free French courses are offered to &lt;br&gt;certain current immigrants settling in Quebec - they are STILL NOT offered to Anglo/Allos LIKE ME. We are FORCED pay for them - (although all new immigrants to Quebec have had access to them 'free of charge for&amp;nbsp; 30+ years)&amp;nbsp; which of course ONCE Again - Denies us - ACCESS to perfecting our French; especially when you consider we have families to support and bills to pay. I of course, 25 years ago, sent my son to French school willingly - because I wanted him to be not only bilingual - but multi-lingual. He was one of the ONLY non Francophone children in the school and I was forced to REMOVE HIM from the French education system - in the 4th., grade - because he had endured constant bullying by both the children and more importantly the TEACHERS - because he was an ANGLO. It got so bad that he developed a &lt;br&gt;stutter that affected him - until his early 20's and had a profoundly painful effect on his life, as you can well imagine. AND YET - today he is FLUENT in French - although his French written skills although good - are not excellent. Experiences like that btw, were suffered by countless non Franco kids - forced into the French stream and are still happening to this day. (All the kids in our family are fluent in French - both living in Quebec and in Ontario - as are their kids.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, I hope you understand that we ALWAYS embraced the French language &amp;amp; its culture and the ONLY REASON we are not firmly entrenched in it - is because WE were NOT Allowed In! &amp;nbsp; Mind you - before the Language Laws - the &lt;br&gt;English community - were the ones who created the French immersion system - and did so willingly and with &lt;br&gt;enthusiasm. I know - because my niece was one of the FIRST students (pre-kindergarten) in it. Her daughter aged &lt;br&gt;11 - now living in Ontario - is also enrolled in the French stream and loves it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WE 'les autres' WERE REJECTED by the Francophone community - and NOT the OTHER WAY AROUND as you and so many others have been falsely and deliberately taught. It is up to you to find out why - you were deceived. And up &lt;br&gt;to you - to ask for PROOF of the supposed Anglo SINS committed. Ask for places - names - times - etc... EX: Who - What - Where- When -Why... would be a great start. The answers and truth are there for you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So - please note: I have no reason to make my quest or posts - based on a foundation of : 'Proving them (Language Law supporters) wrong&quot;. My quest and posts are to make sure the TRUTH is told. The TRUTH by the way - is something that EVERY QUEBECER &amp;amp; HUMAN BEING - DESERVE to know! Primarily because - ignorance of the facts and TRUTH - are what allows - discrimination and hatred toward ones fellow human beings to take root and to flourish! THAT and ONLY that is WHY I post. Having been born in Germany - and living the 'consequences' of THAT HORROR - is most probably what compels me to do ALL I can - to Speak Up and Out - Against ANY KIND of Ethnic Cleansing. There is NO RIGHT KIND - and NO&amp;nbsp; JUSTIFIABLE&amp;nbsp; REASON&amp;nbsp; EVER - to ERASE ANY SEGMENT of ANY SOCIETY.&amp;nbsp; NONE!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Following this post - I invite you to read some of the TRUTHS you may have been denied - while growing up:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://www.politicallyincorrectandproudofit.net/index/so-far-600-000-english-quebecers-forced-to-flee-canada-s-dirty-secret&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am going to be copying and pasting this email on the Liberal Federal Facebook Page - among others.&lt;br&gt;A reply would be very much appreciated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Posted by DidiM at 3:06 PM &lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;REPLY # 1&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; May 26, 2010&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; From Dan Veniez&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dialogue with Dan Veniez - BC - Federal Liberal Candidate , &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hi Didi:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks so much for taking the time to write on a matter that obviously touches a deep and personal chord with you and many other Canadians.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where to begin?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A good place, I think, is perhaps to direct you and your readers to the contents of my website at www.danveniez.ca. There you’ll find plenty of context for my support of Michael Ignatieff, some background on me, and a few speeches and blog posts that may put in perspective my profound convictions on national unity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You made some reference to my tender age, and for that I am grateful! But some background on me and my family is in order, I think.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was born and raised on the working class east island of Montreal. My father was a truck driver and my mother worked at the local Canadian International Paper sack plant as an hourly laborer. Both were lifelong union members and organizers. Dad grew up in St-Michel, a pretty rough section of Montreal. He is of Irish (my paternal grandmother, Margaret Thompson, was born in Belfast) and British (my grandfather, Walter, was born in Croydon, England). Neither of my grandparents spoke any French when they came to Canada, and until the day they died. My father learned the old-fashioned way: By fighting the French kids – literally - on the way to school and back. He was the only English kid in that neighborhood. He met and married my mother, Micheline Riopelle. Mama didn’t speak a word of English when she met my father. Her parents, Laurette and Solomon, hated the English. While my father’s father fought in WWI and lost his leg in the battle of Passchendaele, my Papere fled to the Laurentiens to avoid conscription. In fact, my mother’s parents and her sisters didn’t go to my parents wedding because she was marrying a moudit anglais.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My brothers and sister (we are four siblings) attended St-Charles, an English Catholic public elementary school in Pointe-aux-Trembles, then a suburb of Montreal. Our friends were primarily from English speaking families. My brothers and I lived the same experience my Dad did growing up. We had to be pretty good fighters. I was luckier than most because I played hockey and ended up being pretty good. Scoring goals that was the best and fastest way to gaining acceptance, and over time, trust and friendship. So too was learning and speaking the language, which we all did. we were lucky there, too. French immersion was playing with the neighborhood kids on the streets, not in a fancy classroom.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the longest time, we didn’t feel at home in our own community. We felt like outsiders. I don’t have to tell you that is a terrible feeling. So, despite the fact that I was a kid – and perhaps because of it – I lived the pain and embarrassment feeling excluded, feeling different, feeling like we were somehow second class citizens. To paraphrase Bill Clinton when he was running for the presidency in 1992: Didi, I feel your pain!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I lived through many of the iconic moments of that period. I vividly recall for instance waving the Canadian flag as President Charles de Gaulle passed by our home in his motorcade on rue Notre Dame going to deliver that infamous speech on the steps of Montreal City Hall. I still see that image and remember thinking to myself: What a goofy hat he has on! Or going trick or treating with my older brother Peter and friend Timmy Martel during the middle of the October Crisis. No lights were on and no one – except us – dared go out that night. Or my father and mother bringing us to a rally one sunny fall afternoon to see this young guy speak to a huge crowd of mostly screaming girls. That was the first time I saw Pierre Elliot Trudeau.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And I indeed remember, because I know now that it was such a formative part of my experience, the language wars. We were scared. That is the only way to put it. Bill 22, enacted by the Liberal federalist provincial government of Robert Bourassa, was the first salvo. That was 1972. We felt the reverberations throughout the English speaking community. In our neck of the woods, it was a very small one. Our provincial constituency was Lafontaine. That is where the first member of the Parti Quebecois was first elected to the National Assembly. His name was Marcel Leger, one of the founders of the PQ, and it is no coincidence that he ran and won there.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was in high school when Rene Levesque and the PQ came to power in 1976. That event sent shock waves that were felt for years. We spoke the language, but we were an “English” family. All of us had gone to English schools and that was the language we spoke at home. With Mama, we spoke French, but together, the language was English. The economy tanked. Head offices were leaving and jobs going with it. within a few years, my father lost his job at Canadian Vickers, and the sack plant shut down and Mom lost her job. She was left with no pension and no benefits.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Friends and their families were leaving. My father’s brother and sister left for Ontario. We didn’t see our cousins until years later. My sister got a job in Toronto, where she still lives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was old enough to remember how Montreal was the cultural and economic capital of Canada. I remember the jobs that were lost, the pain and anxiety in our family and our small community, and the outright fear that we felt when the PQ came to power.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The high school I attended was the only English language school in the region. It was called ecole secondaire Napoleon Courtemache. It was an absolute dive, as English schools in that area were. Many years ago it was torn down. The closest high school was in St. Leonard, Roberto Luongo country.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My first ever vote was “NON”, in the 1980 referendum campaign, which paved the way for Prime Minister Trudeau’s repatriation campaign which eventually lead to the historic agreement to have our own Charter of Rights and Freedom’s, his most important and lasting legacy to Canada, in my humble judgment.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My family was deeply impacted in many ways that I cannot begin to adequately convey. We weren’t alone. We felt like interlopers in our own city and province much of the time. Sometimes, we felt singularly targeted because we spoke English at home and went to English schools. I remember my father asking where all the leaders had gone to protect us from what he believed – with a lot of justification – was institutionalized discrimination at the hands of language “zealots”, as he called them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, I get it, Didi. And I know all too well what you felt and feel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Quebec economy suffered a prolonged and devastating decline. It still hasn’t recovered, and arguably, never will, in relative terms.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That was 40 years ago and much has changed. Quebec is today a more confident society. The insecurities and passions that drove Bill 22 and Bill 101 are very hard to find today. There is more bilingualism and more multiculturalism in today’s Quebec than I have ever seen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;During the constitutional wars that began in Victoria when Lester Pearson was prime minister, a show stopping “demand” from Quebec governments going back to Jean Lessage was that Quebec be recognized as a “distinct society” within Canada. Various attempts to reform and modernize the Constitutional Act failed before and since because there was no support for that concept. In 1992, Trudeau repatriated the constitution without Quebec’s signature. In fact, the National Assembly passed a unanimous motion against it. Meech Lake and Charlottetown fared no better. For different reasons, these stalemates ushered in the Reform Party and the Bloc Quebecois, the genesis of our “permanent” minority parliamentary impasse.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Today, Canadians are living with those consequences.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Frankly, I didn’t like – in fact, hated – the notion that Quebec, or anyone else for that matter, should be recognized as a “nation” within Canada. It took me a while to get my head around that idea. It was Michael Ignatieff who helped me understand what that meant in the contemporary context. I read it in his wonderful book, The Rights Revolution, which I strongly encourage you to take a look at.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“In a strong federation, all provinces should be equal, but all provinces are not the same. Each came to our federation with a particular history that must be recognized. Quebec in particular has a unique history: the only former French colony to join confederation with its own distinct language, legal system and religious institutions. It entered the federation on the strict understanding that its distinguishing features would receive special protection in the new federal government of Canada. Canadian unity ever since has depended on recognition of this understanding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Quebecers, moreover, have come to understand themselves as a nation, with a language, history, culture and territory that marks them out as a separate people. Quebec is a civic nation, not an ethnic nation. It is composed of all the peoples from many lands who have come to Quebec and associate themselves with the values and traditions of Quebec and Canada. Quebec’s Charter of Rights—and its language laws—balance the rights of the majority, with equal rights for linguistic and other minorities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More than 5000 nations are recognized as such in the world, but there are less than 200 states at the United Nations. It is normal, therefore, for nations to join with other peoples to share a state. The Scottish people consider themselves a nation, but regard Britain as their country. The Basques and Catalans regard their people as nations, but accept Spain as their country. So it is with Quebec. Quebecers, by considerable majorities, consider Quebec their nation and Canada their country.&lt;br&gt;To recognize Quebec—and Aboriginal peoples—as nations within the fabric of Canada is not to make some new concession. It is simply to acknowledge a fact. Nor is it a prelude to further devolution of powers. Quebec already possesses the authority it needs, in areas of health, education, immigration, manpower training, language and culture, to protect the identity of its people and to promote its economic and social development. Since the 1960’s, it has opted out of national programs, like the Canada&lt;br&gt;Pension Plan, while providing substitute programs that meet both its objectives and those of the federation. These negotiated rights to opt out should be respected, but equally Quebecers should have the right to opt in, to participate fully in pan-Canadian programs that expand their citizenship, increase their opportunities and improve their economic performance. This achieved balance—between provincial autonomy and national citizenship—already allows a clear majority of Quebecers to say, with pride, “Le Quebec est ma nation, le Canada est mon pays.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I understand where you’re coming from and how you feel, Didi. But I sincerely believe that we have – and will continue to evolve in a way that respects and balances the rights of all Canadians. And I genuinely believe that with the right national leadership, our best days as a country are ahead of us. Fighting the painful wars of the past do no good. building together is what we must focus on. That’s what I am dedicated to doing as a person who is putting his money where his mouth is by standing for elected office for the first time in my life. I feel honored and privileged to be doing so. The country my kids are growing up in is a different one than the one you and I did.

            <title>CBC Dying while its Executives Continue to Misuse Millions?  Why?</title>
            <link>http://www.politicallyincorrectandproudofit.net/index/cbc-dying-while-its-executives-continue-to-misuse-millions-why-</link>
            <description>&lt;br&gt;Across the country Canadian Journalists are crying for help because CBC Executives seemingly refuse to stop their pattern of&amp;nbsp; destroying the 'Essence of CBC'&amp;nbsp; and all we hold dear.&amp;nbsp; It's a Nero fiddling while Rome burns - scenario that is only now becoming public knowledge - that has been kept secret from all of us.&lt;br&gt;The situation has become so desperate -&amp;nbsp; that a website has been created called:&amp;nbsp; FRIENDS of Canadian Broadcasting&amp;nbsp; http://www.friends.ca/About_Us/priorities&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;I'm posting one small section from their page - to give you an idea of what they're about - and ask you to go to this site to help stop this imo&amp;nbsp; rape of our CBC - by what's looking to look like 'Yahoos'&amp;nbsp; running CBC&amp;nbsp; right into the freaking ground!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Please take a minute to read this post to the end, it's important to us all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;A CBC Radio National News reporter The absence of public broadcasting values among CBC senior management is no &lt;br&gt;more evident than in its decisions concerning CBC Radio.&lt;br&gt;Consistent with its abandonment of classical culture, CBC’s senior&amp;nbsp; management appears determined to make CBC &lt;br&gt;Radio News more superficial, less intelligent and even more dominated by CBC TV News when it comes to internal &lt;br&gt;decision-making and resource allocation. Why is this happening?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One CBC National Radio News reporter offers this simple and cogent explanation that goes to the heart of the mindset of the current senior management at the CBC:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“TV makes money and radio costs money. The concept of public broadcasting is lost.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This incisive comment emerges from a recently leaked internal survey of CBC National Radio News reporters, the &lt;br&gt;creative power behind some of CBC Radio’s most innovative and informative programs.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't understand the above stupid CBC executive's quote&amp;nbsp; nor do I or anyone else understand the know the utter nonsense&amp;nbsp; CBC President, Hubert Lacroix&amp;nbsp; and his cronies are trying to sell the public - re:&amp;nbsp; lack of monies... budgets, new directions etc... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What I do know is:&amp;nbsp; If Mr. Lacroix and his 'executive team&quot;&amp;nbsp; stop throwing&lt;u&gt; absolutely unnecessary&lt;/u&gt; - multi, multi, hundreds?? of&amp;nbsp; millions of OUR dollars into the Quebec French Overabundant Media arena - and spend those monies&amp;nbsp; where they are supposed to be spent - there would be more than enough money to Keep OUR CBC Alive and Well!!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are too many &lt;u&gt;highly questionable decisions&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; (that contradict CBC's&amp;nbsp; Mandate)&amp;nbsp; Mr. Lacroix has made and &lt;br&gt;continues to make, in spite of the public outcries of alarm and discontent!&amp;nbsp; Disturbing enough to have this writer ask &lt;br&gt;who Mr. Lacroix and his 'team' is working for - because it sure as hell doesn't seem to be the Canadian Public! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's start with his actions - vs - public speeches and writings&amp;nbsp; that totally contradict each other.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why is he working&lt;u&gt; vigorously&lt;/u&gt; to&lt;u&gt; totally Erase (Cleanse)&lt;/u&gt; ALL&amp;nbsp; English Local Broadcasting in Montreal and Quebec&amp;nbsp; - whilst spending the MAJORITY of CBC's past and future budget on - growing&amp;nbsp; multiple French Stations - both TV&amp;nbsp; and Radio - in Quebec!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And trust me - Quebec has MORE&amp;nbsp; than Enough French TV&amp;nbsp; and Radio Stations&amp;nbsp; already - while English Media has been decimated and is clinging by its bloody fingernails to survive!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nowhere in CBC's&amp;nbsp; (or the CRTC's) regulations and mandates is it written that CBC's top priority is to devote the majority of its energies and monies to&amp;nbsp; grow French Language&amp;nbsp; Presence in Quebec - where the population is of course the Majority!!&amp;nbsp; CBC's mandate is very, very clear - it is to Protect and build&amp;nbsp; - Minority (which in Quebec is ENGLISH)&amp;nbsp; Local Broadcasting TV/Radio&amp;nbsp; stations and presence&amp;nbsp; thoughout Canada!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Instead of respecting its mandate - CBC President Hubert Lacroix&amp;nbsp; - has done quite the opposite!!&amp;nbsp; Why?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The&amp;nbsp; 100’s of millions ?? MONIES spent – notwithstanding the majority of its&amp;nbsp; Future $56 million budget - devoted to building even &lt;u&gt;MORE French stations IN Quebec &lt;/u&gt;- that already has an&lt;u&gt; more&lt;/u&gt; than enough media outlets-&amp;nbsp; is not only highly questionable - but in my opinion - highly suspect - as to Mr. Lacroix's&amp;nbsp; leadership abilities and motives.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;When the Head of our ‘public owned’ Major Corporation&amp;nbsp; - is unable to&amp;nbsp; understand something as simple as, Minority and Majority&amp;nbsp; - and CBC's Mandate that he supposedly wrote himself -&amp;nbsp; only to IGNORE and Dismiss&amp;nbsp; that &lt;br&gt;mandate and responsibility -&amp;nbsp; and blithley spend&amp;nbsp; the Major Portion of those monies - in an Area that does NOT &lt;br&gt;need&amp;nbsp; or warrant it- whilst&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt; Erasing&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; the locations&amp;nbsp; (English ones in Montreal and Quebec&amp;nbsp; that DESPERATELY need &lt;br&gt;it) then – WE &lt;b&gt;must question&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; he and his management ‘teams’&amp;nbsp; - ability to think and process vital information, and of &lt;br&gt;course their qualifications - to manage Canada's most valuable and beloved broadcasting system. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What on earth is behind&amp;nbsp; their mind numbing 'motives'&amp;nbsp; and ‘decisions’&amp;nbsp; that lead and continue to result in&amp;nbsp; this absolute 'WASTE'&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp; Misuse of&amp;nbsp; OUR money!! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mr.&amp;nbsp; Lacroix&amp;nbsp; - to date - has&amp;nbsp; refused to respond to&amp;nbsp; ANY questions&amp;nbsp; regarding&amp;nbsp; these questions&amp;nbsp; - nor has our Heritage and Language Minister &lt;u&gt;Mr. Moore who hired&lt;/u&gt; Mr. Lacroix on behalf of the Canadian People. &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;Another question:&amp;nbsp; How on earth has the CRTC&amp;nbsp; allowed this to happen?&amp;nbsp; What are they doing to&amp;nbsp; EARN&amp;nbsp; their VERY &lt;br&gt;substantial salaries????&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think it's high time -&amp;nbsp; WE&amp;nbsp; CLEAN HOUSE&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; at the&amp;nbsp; CBC&amp;nbsp; executive level&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; and at the ‘sleeping on the job’ CRTC&amp;nbsp; - &lt;br&gt;and&amp;nbsp; demand&amp;nbsp; Qualified Executives - whose&amp;nbsp; interests are to Save and Grow CBC&amp;nbsp; Radio&amp;nbsp; and TV&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and more importantly -&amp;nbsp; executives who understand - they are accountable to the Canadian Public&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; and NOT&amp;nbsp; their Political&amp;nbsp; Bias!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Canadian Content - It Matters &lt;br&gt;

            <title>Arizona's Reality Not Being Reported - Why?</title>
            <link>http://www.politicallyincorrectandproudofit.net/index/arizona-s-reality-not-being-reported-why-</link>
            <description>Received from an NYPD retiree living in Arizona.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What you might not have heard. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was just in Sedona, AZ until Apr. 25 and this was big news there. In AZ, 70 % of the people are in favor of the bill the AZ Gov. Just signed. It is hard to believe that the Pres., calls it irresponsible and that the news&amp;nbsp; Media is playing up the racial profiling when the problem there is huge! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;AZ has nearly 1/2 MILLION ILLEGALS in the state and the crime rate is unbelievable among them in Phoenix and Tucson and even worse along the border.&amp;nbsp; In the border towns, the people in the worst situation are those who live in the isolated ranches and farms.&amp;nbsp; They are facing a losing battle with little or no federal aid. They are out gunned, out manned and by all accounts we are being invaded by the cartels.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Subject: Fw: Mexican Assassins&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As you know, one of the local ranchers was murdered in Douglas two weeks ago. His funeral is tomorrow. I received three messages similar to the one&amp;nbsp; below from different officers within the Rangers and law enforcement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yesterday afternoon I talked to another rancher near us who is a friend of ours and whose great grandfather started their ranch here in 1880. These&amp;nbsp; are good people. He told me what really happened out at the Krentz ranch and what you won't read in the papers. The Border Patrol is afraid of&amp;nbsp; starting a small war between civilians here and the drug cartels in Mexico. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bob Krentz was checking his water like he does every evening and came upon an illegal who was lying on the ground&amp;nbsp; telling him he was sick. Bob called&amp;nbsp; the Border Patrol and asked for a medical helicopter evac. As he turned&amp;nbsp; to go back to his ATV he was shot in the side. The round came from down and angled up so they know the shooter was on the ground.&amp;nbsp; Bob's firearm was in the ATV so he had no chance. Wounded he called the Cochise County Sherriff and asked for help. Bleeding in the lungs he called his brother&amp;nbsp; but the line was bad so he called his wife but again the line was bad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Several ranchers heard the radio call and drove to his location. Bob was dead by this time. The ranchers tracked the shooter 8 miles back towards&amp;nbsp; Mexico and cornered him in a brushy draw. This was all at night. The&amp;nbsp; Sherriff and Border Patrol arrived and told them not to go down and engage&amp;nbsp; the murderer. They went around to the back side and if you can believe it, the assassin managed to get by a BP helicopter and a Sherriff's posse and back to Mexico.&amp;nbsp; So much for professional help when you need it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One week before the murder, Bob and his brother Phil (who I shoot with)&amp;nbsp; hauled a huge quantity of drugs off the ranch that they found in trucks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; One week before that a rancher near Naco did the same thing. Two nights&amp;nbsp; later gangs broke into his ranch house and beat him and his wife and told&amp;nbsp; them that if they touched any drugs they found they would come back and kill them. The ranchers here deal with cut fences and haul drug deliveries&amp;nbsp; off their ranches all the time. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What ranchers think is that the drug&amp;nbsp; cartels beat the one rancher and shot&amp;nbsp; Bob because they wanted to send a&amp;nbsp; message.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Bob always gave food and water to illegals and so they think they&amp;nbsp; ent the assassin to pose as an illegal who was hungry and thirsty knowing&amp;nbsp; it would catch Bob off guard.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What is going on down here is NOT being reported. You need to tell people&amp;nbsp; how bad it is along the border. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Texas is worse.&amp;nbsp; Near El Paso it's in a&amp;nbsp; state of war. 5000 people were killed in Ciudad Juarez last year and it's over 2000 so far this year. Gun sales down here are through the roof and I&amp;nbsp; get emails from people wanting&amp;nbsp; firearms&amp;nbsp; training.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Something has to be done but I don't hold out much hope. These gangs have&amp;nbsp; groups in almost every city in the US.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is serious&amp;nbsp; business. The Barrio Azteca and their sub gangs are like Mexican&amp;nbsp; Corporations and organized extremely well.&amp;nbsp; If this doesn't get dealt with&amp;nbsp; down here you guys will deal with it on your streets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

            <title>Canada's Public Broadcaster Discriminates Big Time Against Anglos In Montreal ??</title>
            <link>http://www.politicallyincorrectandproudofit.net/index/canada-s-public-broadcaster-discriminates-big-time-against-anglos-in-montreal-</link>
            <description>Following the Nancy Wood CBC story - has become a full time job these past few weeks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I'm uncovering&amp;nbsp; some very creepy and very alarming, and very discriminatory, decisions being made&amp;nbsp; by CBC against the English population of Montreal and Quebec.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yes - I wrote,&amp;nbsp; against!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: yui-tmp;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;First please read this&lt;/u&gt;: In CBC President - &lt;u&gt;Hubert Lacroix's own words&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Taken from Mr. Lacroix's presentation of CBC's 5 year Corporate Plan: 2008 - 2014:&amp;nbsp; http://www.cbc.radio-canada.ca/submissions/&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;IMPACT OF POTENTIAL LOSS OF LOCAL BROADCASTING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. What impact does the loss of local broadcasting have on the diversity of voices?&lt;br&gt;
Local broadcasting – on television and radio – remains an important way
of ensuring that the issues and perspectives of local communities have
an outlet for expression – both locally and on a national level. That
identification with the lives of people in other communities is the
very essence of a national identity. While other platforms,
particularly new media, are emerging to address the needs of local
communities, to the degree that local television broadcasting is lost,
an important safeguard of diversity is lost with it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
That is why CBC/Radio-Canada is committed to remaining deeply rooted in
Canada’s regions. We believe that it is part of our mandate, as the
public broadcaster, to ensure that that service remains part of the
Canadian broadcasting system.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

_________________________________&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bullshit, bullshit, and more bullshit, actions from CBC?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crucial questions&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp; CBC's President, Hubert Lacroix, Our Minister of Heritage &amp;amp; Culture, James Moore and our CRTC&amp;nbsp; (names to follow) - &lt;b&gt;have to answer and explain to Canadians&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why, has the CBC steadily erased just about all - CBC English local programming in Montreal and Quebec: when in &lt;br&gt;fact its,&amp;nbsp; 'supposed mandate', is to &lt;b&gt;grow&lt;/b&gt; English&amp;nbsp; programming in Quebeck.. because, we are the OFFICIAL Minority population in Quebec, and recognized as such by Canada:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And - given, CBC's responsibility is: to concentrate on growing - French local programming -&lt;b&gt;OUTSIDE-&lt;/b&gt; Quebec,&lt;b&gt; NOT &lt;br&gt;inside&lt;/b&gt; Quebec, because Francophones are Officially a Minority group, as we all know - in the rest of Canada, and the &lt;b&gt;MAJORITY in Quebec&lt;/b&gt;; &lt;b&gt;why has CBC spent so much of its budget&lt;/b&gt;, over the past few decades, &lt;b&gt;only on French &lt;/b&gt;programming&lt;b&gt; IN &lt;/b&gt;Quebec - and&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;NOTHING&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;English &lt;/b&gt;programming&lt;b&gt; IN&lt;/b&gt; Quebec&lt;/u&gt;?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why has CBC instead ... built 10 French stations &lt;b&gt;IN &lt;/b&gt;Quebec, plans on building another &lt;b&gt;4-5 more IN&lt;/b&gt; Quebec, bringing the the total to, around 15 French CBC locations - where the French population IS the &lt;b&gt;Majority&lt;/b&gt;!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Not to mention, Quebec &lt;b&gt;had, and has, an 'overabundance' &lt;/b&gt;of, privately owned Francophone and &lt;b&gt;French CBC&lt;/b&gt; media locations and outlets!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for Canada's &lt;b&gt;other minority group&lt;/b&gt;, Anglo Quebecers, who &lt;b&gt;desperately need local programming from CBC&lt;/b&gt;: not only has &lt;u&gt;CBC done NOTHING for them&lt;/u&gt;; why has CBC in Quebec,&lt;b&gt; ERASED,&lt;/b&gt; just about,&lt;b&gt; ALL Anglo local&lt;/b&gt; programming?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Note **CBC Montreal - English Local Programming** is just about non existent**&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All other locations are French only &amp;amp; CBC President, Mr. Lacroix, &lt;b&gt;plans on building 4-5 more&lt;/b&gt; French only locations in &lt;b&gt;Quebec&lt;/b&gt; and more French stations in Western Canada - and again, NOTHING for English Quebeckers - who again - have no local programming to speak of !&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why is that?&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And if this doesn't &lt;b&gt;scream of - linguistic bias &lt;/b&gt;- I don't know what does.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why and how,&amp;nbsp; does the only mention of, (&lt;i&gt;in his 5 year Corporate Plan &lt;b&gt;about CBC's English programming&lt;/b&gt; in Quebec&lt;/i&gt;) CBC President, Mr. Hubert Lacroix, have the nerve to say - he &quot;Hopes to Maintain what is there&quot;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WTF???? &amp;nbsp; He,&lt;u&gt; HOPES&lt;/u&gt;, to maintain NOTHING ??... (note the word, &lt;b&gt;hope&lt;/b&gt;!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And - how can he have &lt;b&gt;the nerve, to glowingly describe&lt;/b&gt;, the importance of building &lt;u&gt;even more French locations&lt;/u&gt; in &lt;br&gt;Quebec?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Again, why is he spending CBC's 'limited' budget, to open more, &lt;b&gt;'&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot; tag=&quot;span&quot; class=&quot;yui-tag-span yui-tag&quot;&gt;absolutely unnecessary'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot; tag=&quot;span&quot; class=&quot;yui-tag-span yui-tag&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;French locations, while &lt;br&gt;CBC &lt;b&gt;English programming&lt;/b&gt; is close to becoming &lt;b&gt;EXTINCT&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(&lt;i&gt;Is&lt;b&gt; this &lt;/b&gt;the &lt;b&gt;REAL CBC Plan, for English minority local programming &lt;/b&gt;and has this been the REAL Plan all along? It's sure looking like it, no?)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why has the President of CBC - &lt;b&gt;not concentrated &lt;/b&gt;on building the - &lt;b style=&quot;color: rgb(192, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;absolutely necessary&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;u&gt; English local &lt;br&gt;programming,&lt;/u&gt; &lt;b&gt;as per its &lt;u&gt;'mandate'&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and as per the&lt;b&gt; &lt;u&gt;'Broadcasting Act'&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;u&gt;?&lt;/u&gt; Remember, we're talking about, 2.5 million &lt;br&gt;Anglos in the greater Montreal area!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;How&lt;/b&gt; can CBC&lt;b&gt; violate its own mandate&lt;/b&gt; - its&lt;b&gt; responsibility&lt;/b&gt; to the Public - and so very, &lt;b&gt;blatantly discriminate&lt;/b&gt;, against the English speaking population in Quebeck? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From what I understand, from Mr. Lacroix's own speeches and writings: CBC is&lt;b&gt; ethically and legally&lt;/b&gt; bound to &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;support and promote, Minority population - Local Programming. &lt;/b&gt;As a matter of fact, he certainly seems to be saying that, that, is his top priority in his 5 year plan!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&lt;b&gt;f that's the case - why do his actions scream - the exact opposite&lt;/b&gt;? &lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What he fails to make clear to the public - is the English Minority in Quebec - obviously doesn't count !!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;u&gt;Another very important question is&lt;/u&gt;: Who, what, where, when and why - has allowed this 'disgrace' to go forward?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;much more to follow......&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
