They’re a separatist federal party. It’s their jam.
Quebecers weren’t buying it. The Bloc is a federal party that exists to promote Quebec interests and, ultimately, its independence. Voters not only viewed Canada as a real country but they saw it as worth saving from the territorial clutches of US president Donald Trump. The province overwhelmingly rejected the Bloc’s ethnic nationalism and rallied around Mark Carney’s Liberals and a unified effort against American overreach.
Uhh… no? They elected 22 members of the Bloc. That’s still very good, even though it was less than the last parliament. Before that there were a LOT less Bloc MPs.
promising to “relentlessly defend the French language and Quebec culture,” which he called “the heart of Canadian identity.”
These people are huffing their own farts.
“The first idea is to define oneself as a nation. Therefore, it requires a culture of their own. And I am not certain that oil and gas qualify.”
Neither does speaking french. These people are fucking delusional.
Language isn’t part of a culture. Got it.
I’m honestly curious, how would you define anglo-Canadian identity?
I feel like more and more, English Canada is becoming culturally Americanized. Less gun-obsessed, sure, and hockey over football/baseball, but apart from that the difference seems to be waning.
Not that francophone communities, including Québec, aren’t also influenced by the US, but the impact is a lot lesser. I’d be super curious to see how much Canadian music/TV the average Canadian listens to, versus how much québécois content the average person in Québec consumes.
There, to me anyways, seems to be a much higher emphasis on national identity in Québec than anywhere else in Canada (for better and for worse).
Language isn’t a defining characteristic of a national culture? Hahahaha that’s enough Internet for today, that’s easily the most ridiculous thing my Greek ass read today.
Don’t fall for the ROC Quebec Bashing racism and the Bloc ROC Bashing racism.
Equating the ROC with Alberta is pretty dumb
Also YFB is stupid, his name was named in the Montreal #MeToo list for being a recidivist sex pest and finding drunk out girl for a « singer »
