Welcome to Narnia, la belle province.
Yes - those ignorant but vocal separatists who brought you the denial of free speech, based upon a fantasy that denying the right to express yourself in English will somehow support French culture, have a new fantasy - that denying a re-enactment of the Battle on the Plains of Abraham will avoid the reality that, yes, the French lost that battle. Best we pretend it didn't happen, I suppose.
As reported in the Gazette here, by using thuggery and threats, it appears a re-enactment event that promised to pump millions into the local economy, so much needed in this time of economic downturn, is going to be cancelled. Well played, mes amies.
Oddly enough, however, they have no difficulty perpetuating their defeat by continuing, year after year after year, to put their hands out like some sad band of homeless persons to the rest of Canada, entreating "charité s'il-vous-plaît".
Hmm. Seems that if you really wanted to show the rest of Canada, and turn the tide of a history premised upon defeat at the Plains of Abraham, you would eventually learn to stand on your own two feet, instead of shooting your own economy in the foot, over and over again to appease some naive separatist fantasy.
Isn't it ironic. Don't you think?
