I am a bilingual Ontarian whose father was an English Quebecker (Canadian) and I feel quite strongly about national unity, especially when the Canadiens are involved. Someone should condemn this separatist fool. He is not only an insult to our valiant captain, but to the Habs organization, and to the entire province of Quebec.<BR/>Blog on, Robert L., Blog on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-47881853346814356512007-11-02T14:21:00.000-04:002007-11-02T14:21:00.000-04:00This is your best writing to date, in my view.

I remember him clamoring over the lack of Quebecers on Team Canada back in the 1976 and 1981 Canada Cups. He wanted a Team Quebec back then too.<BR/><BR/>What he and the tiny minority like him are is a hate mongerer. Unfortunately he gets more air time in English Canada than all the great Quebecers who love Canada. Its a god damn shame.<BR/><BR/>Joe Pelletier<BR/>------------------<BR/>http://www.1972summitseries.com<BR/>http://www.greatesthockeylegends.com<BR/>http://www.hockeybookreviews.comJoe Pelletierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906327400250923397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-1555634358575971172007-11-01T17:29:00.000-04:002007-11-01T17:29:00.000-04:00Wow! what a masterfully written comment!Very much ...Wow! what a masterfully written comment!Very much appreciated...I am myself a french canadian of a quebec born mother and italian born father and consider myself CANADIAN from quebec...i am obviously bilingual which i consider a PLUS in life...When i hear stories like this one my skin crawls with shame that there are people (or sub-people as i call them) that think that everyone should be like them! Saku has gone through soooo much in his life and we seldom hear of all the good he does in the community but that ''language'' thing comes up every frakin year! I am sooo sick of it...I always say the best way to be proud of something is valorizing it. Not trashing people who dont valorize the same things. That Bertrand assXXXXX is just riding on Pauline Marois's racism (oh my god if she gets elected i'm moving to Ontario !geezzz)to get attention and should be sued...The Montreal Canadians management should do something once and for all about this question for it to never be raised again. I sure liked Carbonneau's comment that he played with Steve Shut for years and between them they spoke french but Shut never spoke french in public and IT SURE IS HIS RIGHT! And with the french media being what it is these days; could you imagine if Koivu were to speak french and , because of a lack of vocabulary , would say something that could be misinterpreted? He is a great leader, coming from a country where people DON'T make public scenes and are very discrete so he must be very confused with all this nightmare...If you look at American teams or western canadian teams, we never hear that ''the french players'' are not welcome...Please lets not go back to the 50's here or worse...It is a FREE COUNTRY and, to my knowledge Quebec is still part of it (and i hope for long) and we do have a muticultural city in Montreal so lets not let those politically inconrect assXXXXXX try to convey a message that does NOT represent all Quebecers...<BR/>GO Koivu and GOHABSGO!!<BR/>P.S. Could you imagine half the crowd saying ''allez les habitants allez!?! lolll<BR/>Danielle S<BR/>HabsfanmyrBLUESFANMYRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797901223352633163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-85047765812612750122007-11-01T16:42:00.000-04:002007-11-01T16:42:00.000-04:00Kevin, I thank you - it is always motivating to he...Kevin, I thank you - it is always motivating to hear from folks who are avid readers. A warning though - I am nowhere near as interesting as this blog might make me out to be. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Your comments add pertinence to my feelings about the Quebecois people. While I am bilingual, I'm a Quebec lover from Ontario who has always understood that its citizens are often misrepresented by politicians. In any society, culture and heritage are important, but neglecting and dimishing those who stand on its perimeter does nothing to enhance Quebec's attraction. That is shameful.<BR/><BR/>What Bertrand has repeatedly demonstrated, should disqualify him from employed in the public sector outright.<BR/><BR/>Kevin, may we meet at Summit 2!Robert Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631806704699552307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31438400.post-85272951583438668352007-11-01T16:12:00.000-04:002007-11-01T16:12:00.000-04:00Bang on buddy and it is too bad I missed the habs ...Bang on buddy and it is too bad I missed the habs summit - I would have loved to have met you - I read your site all the time.<BR/><BR/>As for this maggot. I agree 1000% with you. This guys credentials (or lack thereof) should be at best suspect on anything cultural or political.<BR/><BR/>Koivu has done more (MRI machines, Childrens causes, Cancer research etc...) than this opportunistic moron that he could ever do in what is left in his pathetic life.<BR/><BR/>I hope the cheers come really loud at tonights game - and if it does not, I will be ashamed to be called Quebecer.
