Au soutien des contribuables du Québec

La Fédération canadienne des contribuables ne dispose pas à l’heure actuelle d'une présence à plein temps dans la province de Québec, et ses publications ne sont pas encore disponibles en français. Pour l'instant cependant, nous sommes heureux d'appuyer La Ligue des contribuables du Québec, organisme sans but lucratif et non partisan. Dirigé par Mme. Claire Joly, la Ligue a une mission à trois volets:

  • Veiller sur les politiciens;
  • Sensibiliser les citoyens aux dépenses de leur argent; et
  • Lutter contre les augmentations de notre fardeau fiscal.

Nous exhortons tous les francophones au Québec préoccupés par les impôts élevés, les dépenses inutiles et le manque de responsabilité du gouvernement de s’abonner et de faire un don à la Ligue.

fédération canadienne?

Le Canada est supposé être bilingue, non?

Honteux.

Language

Hi everyone. My name is Bernie and I am a French speaking Canadian born and raised in Ontario, and presently living in Gatineau My question is the following. Why and I mean why do we have to fight all the time about our spoken language? I am so goddam tired of this. We are supposed to be working on tax issues here. Nothing else. When I see all the money received by individuals and not a penny paid in taxes makes my want to puke. Example: (1) Governor General $130,000.00 tax free and he gets this for life. MP`s $25,000.00 a year tax free. Natives 15 billion a year tax free. A billion is one thousand million and they still say that this is not enough. Yet in my case I am a widower, retired, and I have to pay taxes and if I don`t the federal and provincial goverments will clamp down on me like there is no tomorrow, yet there is no one or no group out there that I can turn to for help. The situation we are in has to stop and this is what we have to fight for and fight side by side. Vous allez mexcuser mais mon Francais ecrit est pas des meilleur. (Please excuse me as my written French is not the best).

Smart Technolgy eyes Quebec schools for 40,000 white boards

Smart Technology has recently OUT sourced its manufacturing to MEXICO and layed
of Canadian workers and TAX payers. Now they what to sell their products to
all Quebec schools. These products will be paid for with Canadian tax dollars.

Why does a Company that does not feel Canada is good enough to make their product in is good enough to sell their product in ??

If these products are bought with OUR TAX dollars We should make the product.

French?English?

Knock it off.Both of you ,french and English.Click and drag the french text to select it, then translate with Bing or whatever translator you like to use.Language barrier is no longer an issue ,globally.

How can I help?

It's true everyone should try and learn both English and French languages; however, after living in Quebec for almost 20 years, my French isn't that great.  The point I want to make is that if one wants to spread information and get a good response from the largest possible number of individuals, it is important to post one's comments in both languages.  There are many people who just don't have a gift for languages, and try as they may, they never master a second language (and some barely master their native language :)    Many people only understand only the language they learnt when young (and that goes both ways).  The problem is communication.  I have no idea what this initial post is about (hour of what?).  How can I help if I don't know what you're talking about?

I would understand the issue discussed here much more clearly if it was written in English.  I'm still trying to learn French (I actually love the language, but I was born in England and lived most of my life in small English towns, so I have had very little assimilation to the language).  I absolutely adore the culture; that's what brought me to Quebec.  Try as I may, I have a hard time understanding French.

Quebec's Page

Why on earth is the page for Quebeck only in French?  Don't you know there are 2.5 MILLION English speaking people living in the Greater Montreal Area - in spite of the Federal and Provincial governments attemps to  cleanse  us out of the Province?    

Good grief - I'm really upset - because I assumed an organization asking for accountability  on behalf of ALL CANADIANS - would at the very least have the sensitivity  to  post a bilingual page - given all our rights and freedoms have been stripped from us.

I joined this page to sign the puck off petition  and am so distressed over your seeming blindness to what is happening to your fellow English speaking Canadians - that I'm restraining myself from using the puck off expression  elsewhere,

answer for didi

well, didi t's true we are supose to speak english and french EVERYBODY IN CANADA. You know Québec is french. I'm sorry f tou are upset by that and we nead to give the service in english too it's true, but we speak french, what you want !!. You know in other province the little frenc region are in assimilation but us w don't want that. It's for that reason we make some laws to protect your french country

Alexandre Beauchemin

Sorry dude

It's just the same old crap. Speak English and french in ROC, but French only in Quebec. NO! Put up a bilingual site acroos the country or go to hell. Seriously, as a life long ENGLISH resident of Quebec, I have as much right as a french resident. French speeking people didn't invent the damn province, you only live here. So do I. So if the CTF thinks this is OK, then fuck the CTF.

Language in Quebec

You speak about Quebec and say "their preferred language".
It is not a monolith.Before the language pogrom started over 35 % had english
as their tongue. Both languages built the province. We have however, allowed one to be wiped out by law. Why is that right ?

I lived in Quebec and I learned french. I really enjoyed it. However, the focus on eliminating english by saying french is the language of the people of Quebec plays to the separatist, revisionist history that is really quite racist.35 % have been systematically driven down to less than 15 % today.

You can see the thinking in the writings in some of the newspapers of Quebec.
Some politicians and other leaders are worried more than if a person can speak french. They worry if that is their language in their home.

Some want to create a culture of them and us. It is how conflict starts.

You don't make your language strong by banning someone elses.

french/english

Complaining about  French only on a Quebec page simply indicates someone has not had the decency to respect Quebec and learn their preferred language. I thought those days were over by now.  I have lived in Quebec for some 30 years and when I arrived here, the first thing I did was learn French, out of respect.  And when I lived in Holland, I learned Dutch and in my years in Germany, I learned German.  See the hint?

Yes, Canada has 2 official languages, but I seem to notice that only in Quebec is that the case. The rest of Canada seems not to be interested in learning the second one, so if you are in Quebec, at least have the decency to learn it and do yourself a favor.  It will serve make you a much smarter person, really. It seems to me that anyone who speaks only one language is simply choosing to remain ignorant of what surrounds them, whether that sole language they speak is french or english.

Excessive Taxes that we pay hurt us in any language, and that is the issue here, ultimately.

 

 

 

And this is why we will loose our Freedoms .... sigh

See how we all argue at each other. Meanwhile the true powers that be rape us of our wealth, freedoms and liberty. Stop the bickering, stop fighting amongst each other otherwise we can never turn the tide to our favour. English and French speaking people... we're all getting screwed here. Work together... and we may have a chance!

This from an English person in Montreal too.
