...and what about the Native Americans?
.
The thoughts that I've proposed to you are not astounding; while around the world People cry out, against any systematic Hatred, (and brutal force).
Language, language is the method with which such differentiation is clearly made: in Quebec.
...this choice: a Quebec Free, or a Quebec under subjugation (in affect by its National Assembly)?
I have felt that discrimination myself, and I understand what it means to be quite alone, where as a Quebecer, not "English" or "French": a voice dismissed in such debate "being" neither.
This is Quebec, in the freest country in the world, and I am saddened, what with the dreams I had, while singing in my school choir at Expo 67. I am Hopeful though, because this debate, although unheard continues to brew into what is a natural evolution, of what is a story, the History of Quebec, (and the History of Canada) as yet unfolding.
...in Quebec, I would not doubt that Language becomes an issue in the next elections. Indeed there will be many issues to discuss, what with the colossal task of recovery the Pandemic has imposed on our social-economy. New thinking is needed, and expected, bold initiatives, easy to understand.
Yet, none, nothing but Language, can divide us; as it can unify us in such a time of crisis and change.
And on making language an issue of our own internal political debate, in an election, not, what is Quebec's Official Language per se, but whether it can become an issue where regions decide for themselves, (a self-sustaining drive may evolve, and on many levels,) what serves best their own electorate's priorities, (as regions,) this is the question, the People, should hear.
...indeed, I ask, what about the Cree, and the Mohawks, for example? (...talk about discrimination.)
