	Quebec's Linguistic Situation @ neuvel.net
		Quebec's linguistic situation, while the subject of countless discussions, is still strikingly misunderstood outside the province.
		In 1951, native speakers of French represented approximately 83%* of Quebec's population, native speakers of English, approximately 14%*, with 3% of allophones.
		Founded in 1982, Alliance Quebec is by far the most vocal and politically active organization "committed to the preservation and enhancement of the English-speaking communities and institutions within Quebec." The following is part of a document titled “The Historical Background of the Situation of English-speaking Quebecers” written by William Johnson, President of Alliance Quebec.

	Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Murdochville, Quebec column
		Murdochville, though off the beaten path somewhat, is a relatively short haul to civilization and major highways.
		Given these circumstances, it's understandable the Quebec government has rejected the referendum held in late August in which 65 percent of the town residents who voted asked that the town be shut down.
		Quebec says it's not its responsibility to pay for the personal losses incurred by a corporate shutdown, except for providing training and some transitional costs and maintaining social services.

		The orientation of the new QFL was more strongly influenced by the INDUSTRIAL UNIONS of the FITQ than by the CRAFT UNIONS of the PFLQ.
		The federation kept its distance from the DUPLESSIS government, supported the NDP and took some militant stands (eg, the 1957 MURDOCHVILLE STRIKE).
		The QFL changed significantly in 1964-65, when Louis LABERGE became president and the position of permanent secretary-general was created.

	Murdochville Strike
		Murdochville was a COMPANY TOWN belonging to Gaspé Copper Mines, a subsidiary of the NORANDA Inc empire.
		The company refused to recognize the miners' union (Métallos were affiliated with the Québec Federation of Labour, est February 1957) and used strikebreakers, along with provincial police dispatched by Premier Maurice DUPLESSIS, to subdue the strikers.
		The strike has often been called a turning point in QFL history; in fact it was the most dramatic episode in 12 years of effort leading to the 1965 unionization of Murdochville miners.

	Uncorrected Proofs: A Short History of the Labour Movement in Canada and Quebec: Part Five
		In Quebec, this period was known as “la grande noirceur” and in the words of Carla Lipsig-Mummé, was characterized as “mature coercive integration larded with simple and devastating repression.”[1] The Asbestos strike of 1949 best exemplified the Duplessis government’s treatment of the labour movement.
		The TLC-affiliated Quebec Provincial Federation of Labour (QPFL) and the CCL-affiliated Quebec Federation of Industrial Unions (QFIU) merged to form the FTQ in February 1957.
		The Murdochville strike, although ultimately unsuccessful, represented a pivotal moment in Quebec labour history because it precipitated a progressive ideological shift in the politics of the FTQ.

		Everyone knew Murdochville would live and die by the Noranda Mine, but now that it's gone, the town is tearing itself apart.
		In its heyday, Murdochville, nestled inland on the remote Gaspé Peninsula almost 1,000 kilometres from Montreal, was a rich and vibrant community of more than 4,000 people.
		Two of the town's schools are empty and in disrepair; the third, the cole des Prospecteurs, has 90 students, from kindergarten to the end of high school, down from 216 three years ago.

	Murdochville: Québec craint un précédent
		Qualifiant de «fatalité classique» la fermeture d'une mine comme celle de Murdochville parce qu'elle exploitait une ressource non renouvelable, M. Landry a dit que «la population, apparemment, assume cette fatalité et on va l'aider à assumer son sort en faisant en sorte que le moins de gens possible soient pénalisés».
		Le maire de Murdochville, qui avait enjoint les résidants à voter pour la fermeture de la ville, est déçu du délai imposé par le ministre: «Le gouvernement aurait pu prendre une décision aujourd'hui [hier] s'il avait vraiment été à l'écoute des citoyens», indique Marc Minville.
		Tout le débat autour de la fermeture de Murdochville déchire la communauté et laissera des cicatrices importantes au sein de la population.

	Print This Page: Canadian National Director Lawrence McBrearty Announces Plan To Step Down
		McBrearty began his union life in the copper mines of Murdochville, Quebec, where he was elected president of Local 6086 in 1970 at the age of 28, 13 years after one of the fiercest battles for union recognition in Quebec's and Canada's labor history.
		That goal was achieved in the fall of 2003 with the passage into law of Bill C-45, known as the 'Westray' Bill, after the 26 miners who lost their lives in the 1992 explosion that rocked the Nova Scotia mining town of Stellarton.
		In addition to being head of the Canadian section of an international union, McBrearty is also vice-president of the Canadian Labour Congress, president of the Steelworkers Humanity Fund, chairperson of the Steelworkers Trusteed Benefit Plan, labor co-chair of the Canadian Steel Trade and Employment Congress, and co-chair of the Mining Industry Training and Adjustment Committee.
