It’s official: With the elimination of the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs, it’s been 30 years since a Canadian ice hockey team won the Stanley Cup!
Thirty years that Canada no longer rules Canada’s national sport!
But guess what?
It does not matter.
For a few years now, Canada has had a new national sport that has won millions of fans across the country and in which Canadians excel: the Quebec bashing!
QUEBECO’S FAULT!
Not a day goes by without a Canadian outlet stating that Quebecers are racist, xenophobic, intolerant, withdrawn, narrow-minded, narrow-minded, bigoted, and chauvinistic.
Current example: National Postthat under the sharp pen of columnist Chris Selley, the Wayne Gretzky of Quebec bashingreiterates that Quebecers’ response to Justin Trudeau’s new immigration targets (100 million Canadians in 2100 with 500,000 new arrivals per year) is evidence that Quebec is the kingdom of racists.
“The wailing and wailing that emanates daily from the chroniclers of… MontrealJournal and Quebec radio hosts get so loud they literally pierce your eardrums,” says Selley.
In his opinion, the toughest nationalists in Quebec (those who “sweat profusely” and “have eyes that pop out of their sockets”) are complete paranoiacs, conspirators.
It’s not Justin Trudeau’s new immigration policy that threatens the survival of the French in Quebec, no!
Such are the constant lamentations of the nationalists, their obsession with religion and their folklorism!
This is why French is on the decline in Quebec!
Because the nationalists of MontrealJournal And Quebec newspaper Stop Francophones from Africa and the Caribbean from settling in Quebec!
No kidding, that’s exactly what the columnist does National Post wrote…
“THE ONLY SMART PROVINCE”
So all Canadians find Quebec residents racist?
Hmmmmmm, not so fast!
Because at the end of Selley’s text, on the website of the National Postyou can read the comments of the readers.
However, the vast majority of them share Quebecers’ fears about the arrival of 500,000 immigrants a year!
“Joseph Ross: If immigration brought more prosperity, Canada would be the wealthiest country in the world by now!”
“Mark Thomas: The Quebecers’ stance on this issue is full of common sense.”
“John Stone: Canada can learn two or three things from Quebec.”
Ian Argente: Trudeau’s goals are crazy! He is pledging the country’s future to win votes.
“Kevin Swife: In 30 years, Quebec will be the only province in Canada that we can still recognize.”
“Gregory Atkinson: While as an Anglo I have issues with the Quebec government, I strongly support the refusal of Quebecers to be drowned in such a deluge of immigrants.”
“John Mahoney: Quebec will be the only province to survive this flood, it’s the only intelligent province in the federation.”
“Sandra Lynn: That’s the only reason I envy Quebecers.”
etc etc
