NATIONAL POST ONLINE Search Results Story He is also petitioning Quebec's National Assembly, demanding it repair the damage done to his reputation by a Dec. 14 censure resolution. What angered him about the Boulerice-Bergman resolution was that it struck him as "Parliamentary omerta." It was only the third time in the history of the Quebec National Assembly that members condemned an individual by name (even Jacques Parizeau did not receive censure for his 1995 comment about "money and the ethnic vote"). Moreover, it is an avowedly federalist Jewish organization whose Quebec director once led a small political party that categorically opposes Bill 101 and who regularly attacks the memory of Lionel Groulx, one of Quebec's most revered icons, for whom the province has named schools, streets, mountains and even a major Montreal Métro station. www.omnivore.org /jon/orwell/Michaud/Michaud.htm   (1818 words)

L'avenir du Québec vu par Daniel Turp And as far as decentralization is concerned, only a massive real and constitutional transfer of cultural, social, and econornic powers to the Quebec National Assembly will be acceptable to Quebeckers, who are, as shown in poll after poll, including one taken after the October 30 referendum, repeatedly claiming such a transfer. By contrast with the 1980 referendum question, which would have given no such mandate to the government of Quebec, the vote of October 30 is a clear indication that Quebeckers seriously considered the option of sovereignty and almost gave it a majority in 1995. By contraste the anglophones of Quebec voted almost unanimously for the No side (95 percent), whereas the allophone population of Quebec also voted overwhelming against the sovereignty proposal (92 percent). www.rocler.qc.ca /turp/avenir/Works4.htm   (1631 words)
