France becomes one more pawn in the game Desmarais We recently learned via the website Cyberpresse that Nicolas Sarkozy, the new French president could use his official visit to Canada this fall to redefine Quebec politics of France.
The relationship of France and Quebec in 1977 following the election of the first government sovereignty since the Act of the British North America (BNA-1867). France had once assured the people of Quebec for its solidarity with the adoption of approach "non-interference, non-indifference" or "support". If Quebecers wished them well in a country, France would recognize their declaration of independence and support their efforts.
Unfortunately, Sarkozy will break with that formula, which so far transcended the French left and right for 30 years to show a more pro-Canadian. But mostly it adds insult to injury by making the Summit of la Francophonie and the closing of the 400th anniversary of Quebec City.
What lack of class! Come tell us that we loose at the party of the founding of Quebec. What an insult worthy of a head of state, especially a French head of state. As well as making us all this way to announce it, remains at home.
course, no politician Quebec federalist not seek to defend Quebec's autonomy in its international relations. They do not particularly want to displease their master, Paul Desmarais said the kingmaker in Canadian politics. As he holds most of Quebec newspapers in addition to controlling the wealthy and influential lobby group the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI), is better have it with you than against you. Because we do not hide it, it is still a stroke of President of Power Corporation. Sarkozy and he are close friends for a long time, he managed to convince him to participate in its war against Quebec nationalists. France, as Sarkozy is abroad, thus becomes one more pawn in the political game Desmarais.
I can already hear André Pratte, editorial writer of the press, praising the courageous and intelligent of the French president and take a shit on the separatists who clearly do not understand the "new Global Context ".
When the Parti Quebecois, must see. Will he demand that Jean Charest's fighting for the
Quebec? Against Canada? Will he expose the conflict of interest that inhabits this government? For now the PQ, in collaboration with the Quebec Liberal Party and the Action Democratique du Quebec, seems rather to activate repeat the surrender of Montreal in 1760. It only remains to hope that our French cousins remind their president's responsibilities as a representative of the Republic abroad, and especially vis-à-vis the ties that bind our two nations.
