jan wong was wrong

<

she was wrong when she said that the shootings in montreal were a result of quebec's xenophobic tendencies. the most recent shooting was not the result of computer games, goth music or south park. the most recent shooting, like those in the past, was the result of a disturbed mind.

now, having cleared that up, QUEBEC IS A XENOPHOBIC CULTURE. if you say this to a french quebecer they will angrily deny it. any negative comment about quebec or it's culture is vehemently refuted as though you were attacking their religion, because nationalism is the religion of french quebec, (only a little less scary than the catholicism it replaced) no, quebecers are not more racist than other canadians, but racism is more accepted here than in other parts of canada.

quebec city (they call it the national capital here) is the whitest city in north america, yet 80% of quebec city residents polled, said that there were too many imigrants.

the couch tard chain (quebec's seven eleven) has a line of candies shaped like ugly creepy things, frogs, flies, snakes, spiders, etc... last year they came out with a new one, it was a black guy with dred locks. a member of the black community complained and brought the story to the media. the french media wouldn't talk to her, they didn't seem to think the story was news worthy. the english media did cover it and as a result, couch tard said they would stop selling the offending item... as soon as the existing stock was depleted. they recognized that it was offensive but didn't pull it from the shelves, they continued to sell it! it may also be worth noting that these candies did not come from some wholesaler in china, the couch tard chain makes them theirselves.

I could site other examples but I shouldn't have to. all those quebec journalists and polotitions that were outraged by ms. wong's acertations, know this is true, or if they don't they should. yes she was wrong to tie it to the shootings, but not to point it out.
