	Yves Michaud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yves Michaud, born February 13, 1930 in Acton Vale, near Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada is a prominent sovereignist public figure and member of the Parti Québécois.
		Yves Michaud was at the centre of the so-called Michaud Affair during 2000, in Quebec.
		Some less-involved observers in the media have expressed the view that although Michaud's comments were borderline and controversial as they could be interpreted as banalization of the Shoah, the comparisons made by his accusers to notable anti-semites like Ernst Zundel were excessive and exaggerated Michaud's intent.

	Open appeals to chauvinism divide the Parti Québécois A comment on the Michaud Affair
		Michaud has boasted of having received thousands of letters of support, but many of them are simply unpublishable because of their chauvinist contents.
		Michaud and his supporters are misleading the population when they claim that he has been condemned without being heard and “has said nothing illegal.” For their own reasons, the Liberal and PQ members of the National Assembly condemned Michaud's statements as “unacceptable,” but from a political, not a legal, standpoint.
		Michaud's defenders are cultivating confusion and presenting him as the victim of state censorship in an attempt to revive the increasingly moribund Quebec separatist project on the basis of open appeals to xenophobia and ethnic nationalism.

	Yves Michaud 2001 Notes
		Michaud, 70, a former Parti Quebecois MNA and onetime diplomat, was seeking the PQ nomination in a by-election in Montreal's Mercier riding.
		Michaud said that Jews think they "are the only people in the history of the world to suffer" and that he had "just about had it" with this attitude.
		But Yves Michaud is not the least bit repentant and, in fact, heaps blame for the crisis on Bouchard, accusing him of "intransigence," and having been used by the B'nai Brith human-rights organization, which he says launched a campaign of "hatred, disinformation and insults," to discredit him.

		Michaud was at the time seeking the PQ nomination in a Montreal riding.

		Landry praises Michaud’s contributions to Quebec and even suggests that he should have the honour of being named a Chevalier of the Ordre national du Québec.
		Bestowing the Ordre national du Québec on Michaud would be a good way of “putting an end to this regrettable affair with honour and dignity,” he writes.
		In last month’s letter, Landry calls Michaud “one of the great diplomats of Quebec,” who was in the past a journalist, a Liberal and then independent MNA, and “counsellor and friend” to both Liberal leader Robert Bourassa and PQ leader René Lévesque alike.

		Yves Michaud, a veteran member of the Parti Quebecois, started the controversy when he said last week that Jews are not the only people to have suffered.
		Mr Michaud, a long-time hardliner who wants to see Quebec separate from Canada, said ethnic communities in Quebec were intolerant because they vote against sovereignty.

	Seeing Red
		Bouchard denied that the Michaud controversy was a factor in his resignation, but this was unconvincing given the importance he himself had accorded it in his text.
		Michaud and others who echo his views advance their reactionary views by playing on the violation of self-determination that occurred when people other than Quebecois who live in the province were allowed to vote in the referendum.
		But Michaud stuck by his statements and his announced intention to run as PQ candidate in a coming by-election in the provincial electoral riding of Mercier in Montreal.

		Speaking on a local French-language station, Michaud said Jews focus on their own suffering while ignoring the plight of others, called B'nai Brith Canada the enemy of Quebec nationalists and a phalanx of the Israeli government, and condemned the heavily Jewish suburb of Cote Saint-Luc for voting against separation in the 1995 referendum.

	2000 Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents - Regional Climates
		Michaud’s oral presentation was full of accusations against minority communities for having thwarted Quebec’s drive for independence, a thesis very similar to Jacques Parizeau’s 1995 referendum night remarks blaming "money and ethnics" for losing the referendum.
		Michaud’s explanation as to why minorities vote against sovereignty was that they are either ignorant, filled with hatred towards Quebec or misunderstand.
		However, the Michaud affair illustrates that there still exists, at the fringes of the Quebec nationalist movement, deep-rooted intolerance and xenophobia; and every so often, when the surface is scratched, it bubbles up again.

		It was former journalist and diplomat Yves Michaud who, single-handedly taking on the Royal Bank and the National Bank, obtained a favourable ruling from the Superior Court of Quebec.
		The ruling recognizes that all shareholders are entitled to voice their opinion, and it also allows them to include proposals in the proxy circular accompanying the notice of the shareholder meeting.
