		<description><![CDATA[&quot;...This is a perfect illustration of why a Canada-wide body like the CRTC is inadequate to govern Québec’s airwaves.

And this is why Québec should become it’s own country.&quot;

I&#039;m sorry but I have to disagree.

I would agree that it&#039;s perfect example of why the CRTC is a bunch of incompetent fools with the collective intelligence of a toad, but I think most Anglo-Canadians and Quebecois can agree on that much.

The story of CJNT, as AFG tells it, doesn&#039;t seem to be about any kind of malice towards Quebecois culture or Montreal&#039;s immigrant community per say, but more part of the larger problem of small, independent media outlets being taken over by large media companies with little respect for ANY local culture.  Something which is hardly a problem solely in Quebec, and certainly wouldn&#039;t stop being a problem were Quebec to become it&#039;s own country.

Unless of course Quebec were to put up highly protectionist laws regarding media ownership, but I think Canada as a whole could benefit from such measures.

In the end, what&#039;s good for Quebec is good for Canada.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wish you would all just shut up, quit complaining and go to work. There&#039;s already a french country and it&#039;s called France - there are boats and planes that go there every day; if you want a french country, buy a ticket and shut up.
We have it good here - we don&#039;t have a bunch of people running around imposing religious doctrine and shooting up kids, we don&#039;t have deserts of starving people, we don&#039;t have radioactive destruction and we don&#039;t have leaders trying to physically kill us by imposing their rule over us.
So quit complaining, get a job, pay your taxes and if you don&#039;t like the channel, CHANGE IT! I don&#039;t have cable and I still get an equal number of french and english and I DON&quot;T CARE - I work in Montreal, I drink in Montreal, I eat in Montreal, I don&#039;t complain about Montreal until I see people complaining and bickering over what language we&#039;re using... get over it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AngloMontreal


I believe that it is time for the Province of Quebec to be Anglicised and that English should be made the only Official Language of the Province. Keeeping alive the French Language and giving rights to the Quebecois in such treaties as the Quebec Act of 1774 and the Constitution Act of 1867 were big mistakes that should be rectified. The Quebecois are a bunch of hypocrytes, they liked that French was made a Co-Official Language of the Dominion of Canada, but at the same time they loathed that English was made a Co-Offical Language of the Province of Quebec. The Quebeocis then removed English as an Official Language (Illegaly) and made French the Sole Official Language of the Province of Quebec by there Fascist Laws like Bill 22 (Official Language Act) and Bill 101 (Charter of the French Language). Since the Quebecois have shown no gratitude to the British and Canada for giving them such Language Rights to use the French Language and in the end abused there rights and abused there rights by subjectated the English Language in Quebec, its time for Canada to stop this and impose English and ban French in Quebec. Canada must encourage the Anglicisation of immigrants heading to Quebec and encourage the Anglicisation of the Quebecois themselves. The French Language should have been banned in both the Dominion of Canada and it&#039;s Province of Quebec as soon as the guns became silent and when the Treaty of Paris (1763) was signed by the British and French, in which France ceaded New France in exchange for the Islands of Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinque and St Lucia to the British Empire. 


Canada should encourage more English Speaking immigrants from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norhtern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, United States of America, Commonwealth of Australia and the Realm of New Zealand to move to the Province of Quebec and particulary settle in the Cities of Montreal and especially Quebec City. Quebec City needs to have a massive influx of English Speakers to transform this Unilingual French City to a Bilingual English-French City or to a Unilingual English City. 


In 1842, Anglo-Quebecers made up 61% of the population of the City of Montreal and in the same year Anglo-Quebecers made up 43% of the populaiton of the City of Quebec. Now today, Anglo-Quebecers make up 13% of the population of the City of Montreal and just 2% of the City of Quebec. This is a disgrace and all English Speaking Canadians must be ashamed of themselves to allow such a decline of the English Speaking Populaiton in both the Cities of Montreal and Quebec. Canada must restore the English Speaking populations of both Montreal and Quebec City back to there 1842 Demographics ASAP. 


In my oppion the French Language has no buisness in North America. North America is an English Speaking Continent and should have only English, just like how Spainsh and Portuguese are the Official Languages of Latin America. The English Language has everyright to have North America and the French Language has none. The British beat the French fair and square in the French and Indian War to get North America and kick the French out. The French did not care about New France and when the British gave them a choice between New France or the French West Indies, they chose the French West Indies. The French West Indies were more valuable to France because of there huge Sugar Plantations which made France a very wealthy country, however New France was a struggling backwater with a struggling fur trade that was a huge drain on the French Treasury. Get this in 1763, the population of New France was 70.000 people and at this same time the populaiton of Martinque was 74.000 people. The small Island of Martinque had 4.000 more people then the massive New France. Francois Voltaire called New France &quot;A Few Acres of Snow&quot; to show contempt at New France&#039;s value to the Kingdom of France. 



If the French Language can not survive with oppresive laws like Bill 101 and Bill 22 and a Language Police (OLF) to enforce these inhumane laws and discriminate against the English Language and make it into a second class language then it should not survive at all. The French Language should be allowed to die in peace and dignity, instead of living how it is now. I consider such laws like Bill 22 and Bill 101 and the OLF a sort of Life Support Machine. This Life Support Machine will slow the death of the French Language and stop the rise of the English Language in Quebec, but it will not stop it. The French Language will die and the English Language will be Supreme in Quebec sooner or later. The French Language must die a fast painless death then a long and drawn out and painfull death like it is now. 


Lord Durham was right when he said that if the Quebecois are not assimiliated into Anglo-Canadian Culture and Anglicised into the English Language, it will cause discord and disunity in the Dominion of Canada for furture geneations. He was right and we should have taken his wonderfull advice and Anglicised the Quebecois into Anglo Canadians.
