Canada may soon now only permit bilingual ONLY Supreme Court judges. Do these idiot politicians even realize how much work it takes to be completely fluent in another language, maintain that fluency for perhaps decades, and become a lawyer? Look forward to Supreme Court judges coming mostly from Quebec because no one has that kind of time to maintain another language without practicing it.
So I guess their next step is to only allow bilingual people to run for Parliament. I’m still confused as to why we’re even allowed to speak English in this country anymore. Funny, the politicians went against more than one law society on this one. Pander pander pander!
Here, in an old video is Pierre Trudeau explaining why a “special status’” for Quebec is utter nonsense…
In the above video, Trudeau shows how the federal liberal party of Canada has completely lost its way. It has stooped to being the “natural pandering party”, lusting after votes in the vain attempt to become the “natural governing party” again. This does make sense though, no one of substance seems to want to run for government anymore. I would argue in fact that there is no MP right now that would be accused of having any grand visions for Canada. The only aim of an MP and even MPP seems to be that of a legislative lawyer, with political parties acting as their law firms, whose services are paid for in voting blocs (notice I misspelled blocks, ie: the BQ) and cash “donations” ie: bribes. Canada has no vision of itself other than an old beer commercial…
- As an aside, what this video purports is only a half truth. Canadians have no idea of what Peacekeeping is all about. They do not understand that it has always been dangerous. Forcing a soldier to become a police officer when those you have to keep separate have lethal and powerful weaponry displays an incredible ignorance as to the realities of life outside the rich western world.
- Canada has never been about diversity, it has always been about not fomenting anger and hatred. That is pretty much why The United Empire Loyalists left the American colonies to come to Canada. That is why the U.E.L people never carried with them large scale slavery, although it did still exist, but only minimally. This is why racism is so much lower in Canada than what it is in the United States. But by artificially codify something into Canada that doesn’t need to be, it artificially creates the need for an opposition. By creating an opposing viewpoint for “multiculturalism” you succeed in planting the seeds of hatred where none existed in the first place. No association can legislate behaviour into existence. Not to mention the billions that are now wasted on useless programs, instead of applying those funds to help lift people out of poverty, the true source of disunity if there ever was one. A funny thing though, the actor is a “typically Canadian looking” person, white, blue eyes, etc who rants how Canada is multicultural. A feel good gesture perhaps?
- Hockey is yes somewhat of an obsession in Canada, I guess you could say it’s like the Brazilian obsession with soccer.
Canada has no national sense of itself, not of its past pre 1960s, the French minority imperialists know this full well, but what really could be the reason behind this? Think back into history, to a place in Europe, in the 19th century. The Austrian Empire was a Germanic one with a restless Hungarian populace close by. You see this Hungarian minority, a significant one at that, demanded more “equal rights” that did not fit its position within the political structure of that association. So what the Austrians did was give them more or less an “equal” footing with Austrians, thus the Austrian Empire was to be known the “Austro-Hungarian Empire”. Now is this a move to purposely subvert the very foundations of a society? By allowing this assault on the spirit of the system, the Austrians showed the outside world that it does not view itself as having the right to govern its own sovereignty anymore. By projecting weakness both from within and from without that empire slowly lost itself, to the point where a dramatic breakup occurred, albeit a World War didn’t help much either.
Do Canadian politicians believe a sovereign Canada does not really matter anymore? They’ve permitted Chinese, American, Russian, and other such foreign military vessels to violate Canada’s northern boundaries repeatedly over the decades without a strong answer; why they even allowed the Dutch to plant their flag on Canadian soil with a toothless protest of dropping leaflets from the air.
Given Canada’s federal government’s past predilections with acceding sovereignty to foreign powers, it makes sense that Canada would allow Quebec to slowly erode its very foundations. The rights of the one outweighs the rights of the many.
Now there’s nothing wrong with maintaining interpreters for judges and Parliament. But when the government legislates people who are lesser qualified into positions of great power, just because they happen to speak a language, that structure and everything that it nourishes will suffer from incompetence.
