Are Yak Metal Cores To Be Used On The Back

Long live free Quebec! Any government

"It has become urgent to review the distribution of powers in our community."

-Rene Levesque


In early November, the Coalition for Quebec Regions launched the book Freeing Quebec to promote the establishment of territorial governments. In this collection of essays by different authors, there is a 1977 document, which was never published until now and where Rene Levesque himself expressed the need for profound changes in the sharing of responsibilities within the province.

The coalition members want to leave the areas of concentration of power that grows the government of Quebec to remain a strong central state. Removing all power to the inhabitants of the regions, excluding local elected vital decisions for communities, it creates a gap, that of indifference to public affairs on which they feel more control. Then comes the frustration with the government for its inability to solve problems, although individuals each region, but especially important and urgent as the exodus to the cities. The Quebec government requires a facelift, it becomes too heavy, too expensive and ineffective in terms of democracy. Parliament of Quebec, are stacked blithely regional focus issues, and specific cases of national records in a nonsensical brouhaha when even the report of importance of topics in relation to each other is lost.

What this group is saying is let's deal with the regions themselves, give them the means.

The publication of this work is therefore in a process of civic engagement that will lead to the Estates General of Quebec regions, possibly in 2008. The coalition knows that radical change such that the request requires the approval of the population. How to get it is probably at the number of subjects to be discussed at this event.

The Parti Quebecois must ensure inclusion on the guest list. Presents the opportunity to exercise leadership and make this forum a new vision of national struggle and a more regional approach of sovereignty.

The current game plan of the PQ is to create winning conditions for the holding of a referendum, to convince people to vote for the option and start the process toward independence. Following a second referendum on the adoption of a Constitution for our new country.

A credible alternative is to merge the two referendums. If the PQ enters the government, he engages the work of preparing internal sovereignty by convening a Constituent Assembly. The mandate of the Constituent Assembly will be limited in time because it will provide a draft constitution for an independent Quebec within two years. These allow the flexibility needed to minister to prepare the sovereignty referendum on the draft country before a General Election.

To demonstrate the link between sovereignty and development regions, the PQ and its new leader would propose to elect representatives on a regional basis, each region having equal weight. One can, for example, ask the citizens of each region to elect three representatives for a total of 51 elected (See annex).

Pauline Marois should not be afraid to clarify issues and to shed some light on the country to do, the way to go. The mistake, obscure ideas and vague concepts, let the Federalists.

This new approach speaks directly to voters who were asked, first, to imagine after all and decide, without interference from the rest of Canada, what kind of society we really want to live.

The Assembly members will create and territorial governments allocate resources and responsibilities between these and the central government in Quebec City. They include the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Charter of the French language, the Assembly changed if necessary. They will also define a method of appointing judges to the Supreme Court and a formula for amending the Constitution.

The referendum will then oppose

A Québec Constitution, carefully considered and accepted as the population of Quebec will have increased the PQ in power to convene a Constituent Assembly, she will have chosen their delegates and the ideas they convey. This is a highly democratic path that commands respect and to which every citizen will feel bound, as there will participate in one way or another. Power to the people.

The status quo, the Constitution of Canada, repatriated by English Canada without Quebec's agreement in 1982, and since no Quebec government has agreed to ratify. The fundamental law of Canada is based on contempt for the Quebec nation and yet, despite a glaring lack of democratic legitimacy, Quebec must comply and submit. Democracy in canadian.

But this logic assumes that the PQ review his speech largely if not entirely. Primarily, the referendum ceases to represent the time when Quebecers are beginning to conduct their business. The drafting of the constitution by elected representatives is the first step in a nation that is self-governing, a Quebec that all responsibilities. Draw, collectively, the draft structure of shared powers of a sovereign state, even without the assurance of winning the referendum, remains a gesture of tearing and self-determination and self-learning -governance. Perhaps even necessary to break the status quo.

Thus, the election of a government sovereignty means that the people of Quebec Quebec agrees to engage in the process of independence. The referendum changes its nature completely. It is now used to confirm that the path it took the government to prepare the sovereignty corresponds to its promises and expectations of citizens who bear the final verdict. He launched the world: We have elected a transitional government to prepare for the sovereignty, it has met our expectations and we endorse his work, we validate our choice of the last election for a Quebec country.

Also, this program requires the training she agrees to share his option with a novel new ally, the Constituent Assembly after the election of the PQ, takes over to perform its specific function, that of putting a additional pressure on the current policy framework so that it bursts, it can no longer contain the aspirations of the people of Quebec to make the necessary presence of a separatist party. The PQ loses its monopoly on sovereignty, but it gains a powerful promotional tool, a Constitution.

The interest in the Coalition of Quebec regions seems obvious. This group probably will include such a proposal will give them greater autonomy than what Quebec could make the region as a mere province with its limited resources. With even less effort because the resistance he meets want to decentralize a state weakened by the Canadian connection will be strong.

The basic strategy of the PQ no longer inspires confidence. Why not submit a new plan more concrete in the States-General of the Coalition is announced for 2008?

What Gauge Is A Safetly Pin

The judicial activism of Quebec Anglophones still making waves 30 years after the adoption of the Charter of the French language. This time, it is the lawyer Brent Tyler, a former president of Alliance Quebec, which has succeeded in invalidating the Act 104 by the Court of Appeal of Quebec. Bill 104 amends for the failure to Bill 101 which made possible the attendance of an English public school brothers and sisters of children who have attended a private English school for one year only. In other words, Bill 104 put a stop to this questionable practice which was to buy a blank check for the whole family.

The State of Quebec has responded by raising the issue in appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. He could not help but stand in defense of Bill 104 to protect the principle of equality before the law. Unfortunately, we can guess which way the Supreme Court look into this matter. This is not the first such challenge. The Supreme Court has consistently set limits to the application of Bill 101 since its adoption. The cause now represents only the latest episode in a long series of legal challenges. No longer able to apply its policy of integrating newcomers, Quebec is therefore gradually impose the choice of Canadian multiculturalism. Why? Canada's Constitution, its Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives parents choice in language teaching, something inconsistent with the law 101 (education, however, under provincial jurisdiction). Or Bill 101 remains since 1977, the heart of the project of living together of people of Quebec.

Any government that is sovereign or not, if he claims defend Quebec's interests, should feel legitimized to refer to the protection of our language laws as grounds for refusing to comply and to recognize the authority of the Supreme Court of Canada. Quebec can deny the existence of obligations to the 1982 constitution, unilaterally repatriated by English Canada to redefine the political structures of the country without Quebec's consent.

That presents it as an act of sovereignty for some, a supposed plan for autonomy for the other matter, what really is freedom in action that we could win.

Quebec does he not have its own Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adopted in the National Assembly, to which judges could refer Quebec? For Quebecers, this law has at least one democratic legitimacy, contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada included in the coup of Pierre Elliot Trudeau 82.

Time is short, we must react before the return to power of the federal Liberals. We know how their party represents a threat to the autonomy of Quebec. We just discussed the question of unilateral repatriation of the Constitution under their reign in the 80s but when they returned to power under Jean Chretien in Ottawa in the 90s, had scarcely changed their methods. The non-compliance during the Quebec referendum of 1995, sponsorship, fiscal imbalance, the Clarity Act, the National Assembly to put in trust, to intimidate and threaten the people of partition, armed response or non-recognition of its democratic choice, no effort was spared to bully the right to self-determination of our nation. No hijacking of democracy seemed too unfair. Democracy in Canada has gone mad.

If you go back a little, we remember the events of October 1970. Trudeau decides to declare the Act War Measures to suspend civil liberties under the pretext of a so-called insurgency army to intimidate the Quebec secessionist movement nascent but already strong. That Canadians retain that image of Trudeau's great defender of the rights and freedoms suggests an emerging Canadian nationalism, based on the Constitution of 82, promoting anti-democratic excesses. It

can be said without much error that liberal activists are Canadian nationalists and consider Quebec nationalism as a threat to their country. They actually become the counterweight to liberal democratic values of Canada constantly seeking to justify that in the case of Quebec, the end is the means, we can trust the laws of Quebec.

Then and Now Historical Moment


1840 - London Schedule Quebec by force with the Act of Union following the lifting of parliamentary Patriots who were denied government accountable.

Given the stubborn refusal of London to give the government accountable to parliament and members of Lower Canada, the Patriot Party organized many public meetings soon banned by the governor but continue nonetheless. English citizens, a minority in Lower Canada, are unacceptable to let the Canadians (the French) government freely and decide to arm themselves. Given the turmoil that now reigns in the province, the governor pushed through martial law and issued arrest warrants for treason against many Canadians. The rebellion broke out. The Governor directs the crackdown and crushed the revolt, the rebels and the French population in general.

The British authorities then sent Lord Durham to investigate the events that just took place. He signed a report in which he explains that the Lower Canada must rely on another power. Minorized Canadians must be able to assimilate them thereafter. To get there, it would unite the two Canadas.

"One can hardly conceive nationality more destitute of all that can invigorate and elevate a people as the descendants of the French in Lower Canada, because they have kept their language and their customs. They are a people without history or literature. "

London decides to follow the recommendations of the report racist and Durham, taking advantage of the weak position is located in the Lower Canadians, annex by force the Lower to Upper Canada Canada. In the new entity, United Canada, Canadians find themselves a minority in terms of deputations for despite a population well above the Lower Canada gets only half the seats. The act of aggression that is the Act of Union marks the end of the repression of the rebellion that began when a political solution in simple and practical minorized the colonized. It also marks the birth of Canada on the basis of modern refusal to recognize the French Canadians the right to govern a democratic state of which they form the majority.

1982-Pierre Elliot Trudeau and the premiers repatriate the Constitution to make the Basic Law of the country without Quebec's consent.

When in 1979 Rene Levesque, then Prime Minister, announces a referendum on Quebec sovereignty, the official opposition leader, Claude Ryan, began to agree with him on importance of non-interference of the federal government.

But before Ryan's incompetence as head of the clan of NO, the Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau eager to get involved in the referendum campaign. In his last speech before the referendum, Trudeau promised to review the federalism for Quebec open to requests if they win the NO.

The day after the defeat of the Yes camp, says he wants Trudeau repatriated the Canadian Constitution Act of British North America (AANB-1867), and renew. Despite the difficult process premiers English reach an agreement with the federal government. In fact, to garner support from a majority of provinces, Trudeau will be many proposals for concessions to the provinces without recalcitrant only offer anything in Quebec. Contrary to his promises pre-referendum, Trudeau sought to isolate Quebec and succeeds. The agreement is honed at night without the knowledge and the absence of Lévesque and his delegation believed that the talks should resume tomorrow. But the next day, the federal government and the nine provincial premiers are celebrating an agreement that allows Quebec that Canada can he impose a new constitutional order without her consent. The Conquest of 1760 version of democracy minorization.

Since 1982, Quebec has never agreed to ratify this constitution. Yet, despite a glaring lack of democratic legitimacy, it continues to apply. Every interest group provided well in money may ask the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on the constitutionality of any law in Quebec. The English have done with the language laws in Quebec and were thus forced the Quebec government to dilute the law 101. More recently, Judges of the Supreme Court asked the Charest government to open the public health system to private suite at the request of Dr. Jacques Chaoulli, a researcher at the Montreal Economic Institute.

Privatizing health care system, even in part should be a collective decision and not a few individuals we must assume impartial. Yet, thanks to a constitution that Quebec does not sign the opinion of some judges appointed by the Canadian prime minister takes precedence over the democratic will of Quebecers as expressed in the National Assembly through its elected members.

What differentiates the historic period preceding the birth of modern Canada by the Act of Union from today?

Quebecers do not freely acceded to the 1982 Constitution the same way we do not ask them before imposing the policy framework that followed 1760. Like English governor (appointed by London) before the rebellion of the Patriotes, judges (appointed by the Prime Minister of Canada) reserve the right to review and block the laws of the Quebec Parliament. In this sense, the rulers of today are fighting for responsible government as well as the Patriots yesterday. The methods have changed (renunciation of violence) but not the reasons.
