re: false positive Atomism[edit]

581682 you reported me for adding something to this article, ive never been their in my life let alone edited it, you did this, FIX IT.

Um, there is an ideological difference[edit]

The movements for sovereignty-association seek for statehood without fully separating from a geopolitical relationship with Canada. I'm not sure if this does or doesn't preclude a republican government for an independent Quebec, but I've seen very little on the article indicating that a sovereignty-association system would allow for Quebec to become a republic rather than retain the Queen-via-Governor-General as a head of state. This is why I created a separate section for the movement for a republic. --Toussaint (talk) 20:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to correct some mistakes you made. The movement sovereignty-association seeks statehood and separation from Canada. The association thing does not mean that Quebec will still be apart of the country of Canada, it means that the two countries would create a new political and economical relationship between two equal nations. For example, NAFTA is a kind of partnership or relationship between USA, Canada, and Mexico. Nafta doesn't mean that the three countries become one or anything. This is something similar that the members of the sovereignty-association movement wants for Quebec and Canada.Lanççelot (talk) 00:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

THE MEANING OF HISTORY Why Fête Nationale is really Fête Nationaliste Quebec invests millions in celebrating a shared national identity - too bad the organizers are separatists

WILLIAM JOHNSON Author and a former president of Alliance Quebec Globe and Mail June 26, 2008

What a chance to teach Quebeckers the meaning of their history. The Fête Nationale of June 24 was traditionally called La fête de la Saint-Jean until the secessionist Parti Québécois took office in 1976 and changed the name to exclude French Canadians outside Quebec from the festivities. But it was and is a truly popular revelling in a shared national identity.

Take the celebrations on Tuesday in Montreal. In addition to neighbourhood parties, a grand parade filed through the streets in the afternoon, while, in the evening, a grand "spectacle" put on stage many of Quebec's best-loved musicians and singers.

Who organized these two huge events? A committee headed by Jean Dorion, president of the separatist Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal. Almost half of the funding is provided by the provincial government.

Mr. Dorion, in his televised opening speech for the concert, offered a sombre sketch of Quebec's experience from the fall of New France to the present: "This French presence survived the Conquest, foreign occupation, the breach with the mother country, repression, unemployment and poverty. Throughout the darkest periods, the feast of Saint-Jean continued to be celebrated each year, in what was truly a national and cultural battle of résistance."

The afternoon parade, Mr. Dorion told me, was attended by 125,000 people, while the evening event drew 250,000. The parade was called défilé des géants, and 13 giant figures were its centrepiece. Most represented figures from history: Quebec founder Samuel de Champlain, Jeanne Mance, who helped found Ville-Marie (Montreal), and explorer and fighter Charles Le Moyne d'Iberville. There was Ludger Duvernay, who founded the Société Saint-Jean Baptiste, and Antoine Labelle, the priest who promoted colonization of northern Quebec under the slogan "Let's occupy the land." There were only two figures from recent history, both separatists: singer-composer Félix Leclerc and René Lévesque. No one represented English-speaking Quebec, unless one counts St. Patrick.

The evening concert was dominated by a popular trio of rappeurs called Loco Locass. Their repertory is known for its ardent advocacy of secession. One of their raps is called Résistance, a word associated with the Nazi occupation of France. "We have come to speak to you about résistance, because the history of Quebec is marked by the history of the résistance ... résistance after the Conquest ... résistance is at the centre of Quebec's identity and defines us and makes us taller. It is a word that is essential for the Québécois. And so we have come to speak of résistance, and to resist further, sooner or later we must have sovereignty." They invoked the memory of René Lévesque as the figure who showed the way to sovereignty.

Their call was soon echoed by poet, musician and songwriter Raôul Duguay, who shouted: "Vive le Québec libre!"

Loco Locass came back with perhaps its most popular rap piece, Libérez-nous des Libéraux, in which the trio rants at great length against Jean Charest and the Liberals as the destroyers of everything that is good and sacred in Quebec. When they mentioned the Premier, the audience booed.

No prominent federalist politician could be spotted at the concert, though some had taken part in the parade. But standing in the front row were PQ Leader Pauline Marois and Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe.

The highlight of the celebration is le discours patriotique. On Tuesday night, it was written and rapped by Loco Locass, though the first half was recited against a musical background by actor Emmanuel Bilodeau, who played René Lévesque in a three-part 2006 biopic shown on the CBC.

Here is an example of some of the lines.

They conquered our territories, pillaged our history and stole our memory

With their mad theses they told us:

[The following was spoken in a sinister tone by a member of Loco Locass draped in a floor-length red cloak and a red and white fool's bonnet evoking the Maple Leaf flag.]

"Shut up! You're not worth 10 sous

You are not you, you are us

You are dissolved

Our substrate subsumes and consumes you. ...

But are we going to die as dwarfs when we were born giants? ...

All told, we are unique supermen

Generated by the genetic genius of Europe and of America

Ineluctably, we are sailing toward annihilation

But are we going to die as dwarfs when we were born giants? ...

But beware of the cardiac arrest

Between death and life

The arrival of a man as at the time of a referendum

A people oscillates between being nothing and being everything that shines.

The rap ends with poetry acting as midwife with forceps

Who draws from limbo a world to be born ...

The poet names at last the one whose head he sees emerging:

QUEBEC! QUEBEC! QUEBEC!

Quebec invests millions in celebrating its Fête Nationale and, in nearly every part of the province, its organization is put in the hands of separatists.

that articles doesn't mention the non french canadians minorities. However i will change my wording. I will put that WILLIAM JOHNSON thinks that the celebrations of the st jean is being held exclusively by the separatists and excludes french canadians outside quebec and Quebec federalist.Lanççelot (talk) 01:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"No one represented English-speaking Quebec, unless one counts St. Patrick.", Les Anglais sont la minorité au Québec. (Les Anglais sont des non-French-Canadians). Je traduit donc ce que vous éfacez: beaucoup de minorités non-Candiens-Français voient le 24 Juin comme un évenement politique et éthnique au lieu d'un évenement civique due au fait que les célebrations sont surtout séparatistes et nationalistes. Sa dernière phrase dit tout: "Quebec invests millions in celebrating its Fête Nationale and, in nearly every part of the province, its organization is put in the hands of separatists." Le Québec investit des millions pour célebrer sa Fête Nationale et, dans presque toute les régions de la province, l'organization est mis dans la main des séparatises. Alors ce qui est écrit déja est plus précis. Dire que les célebrations sont tenu seulment par les séparatistes n'est pas vrai, ce n'est pas ce que Johnson a dit.--Never give up! Never surrender! (talk) 02:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Les anglo-québécois ne représentent pas l'ensemble des minorités québécoises, mais seulement une partie (jai rajouté ce fait dans l'article). De plus, il parle du fait que la fête serait tenu uniquement par les séparatistes.Lanççelot (talk) 05:42, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
