The legion of honor no longer has much significance when it is distributed to provincial premiers and the head of state.
In this case it served Sarko to make a media outing against Quebecers and to please English Canada.
It is a bit as if a prime minister would go to Corsica and hold a speech on the unity of the country (that he will take care of France and let the Quebecers settle their fate) speech completely opposite 'Degaule ..
I think the French media have minimized this bevue from your boss
In Quebec info
Sarko puts it back!
There is no longer any doubt, French and free Quebec now has a powerful enemy who sits at the Élysée. Nicolas Sarkozy, puppet of the multi-billionaire Paul Desmarais, gave some these days, during the presentation of a decoration to another puppet of Power Corp., Jean Charest that one, by burying definitively the formula of "non-interference , non-indifference ". More than ever, our enemies are giving up their weapons and hope to kill us. But our passion and our intelligence will still allow us, I am sure, to overcome them.
Sarkozy had taken a first step in this direction last summer in Quebec. The outcry raised had convinced French politicians to comment on the President of the Republic's comments using a lot of ambiguity. But yesterday, in France this time, Sarkozy clearly denied this last strategy. He saw fit to hold very harsh words with regard to Quebec separatists, calling them sectarians and furious people locked in on themselves! He also said that we hate our neighbors.
However, the extreme contempt displayed by the little guy Sarkozy towards Quebec separatists clearly shows that if there is someone who hates the Other in this case, it is him. And it also proves that this uncultivated little figure has no understanding of the Quebec situation. It is clear that nationalism here is one of tolerance and openness to the world. But it is not so surprising to see such a politician manipulated with wish to adopt such speech, since it is the notorious anti-independence that is Paul Desmarais, big boss of the Press propagandist, who puts the words in the mouth. It is not very edifying to see the function of President of the French Republic serving the low instincts of a man as disrespectful as Paul Desmarais.
Faced with such a situation, we Quebec separatists are quite powerless. I do not see how we could extricate this weak politician from the clutches of the Grand Vizier Desmarais. We will therefore have to wait until he leaves office as president to look again at the Élysée with a positive eye.
But until then, Sarkozy must not believe that we will sit idly by. This rogue must know that if he dares to set foot on the national territory of Quebec, he will be treated as an English monarch. The committee that the separatists will not fail to form to welcome him there will be very angry with him, that he will put it very deep in his little head and, above all, that he will remember it for a long time, because we , let him know, we will not forget.
Another person who has certainly not forgotten certain events is Queen Elizabeth II. She must certainly still remember her passage to Quebec in 1964, because of the actions then taken by the separatists. She was very vigorously denounced, her journey thus being transformed into a real nightmare. Sarkozy must know that he will keep a similar memory of his possible next trip to Quebec. Therefore, the best for him would be to never come back here. Let him rather play with his little Canadian friends, at home, and not at home. Without a shadow of a doubt, it will be better for him!
The attitude displayed by Sarkozy towards the dream of the separatists must also convince them to stop putting all their eggs in one basket hoping for rapid recognition by France of a declaration of independence from Quebec. Contrary to what the French President claims, Quebec separatists are very open to the world. They have several friends there. It is more than time to turn these simple friends into allies.
It is clear that more than one country could look with interest at the rupture of the Anglo-Saxon North American monolithic block. A free Quebec could become for these countries a very interesting base of operation in a region of the world hitherto completely controlled by Anglophonie. If that would only interest them, why wouldn't they help us make it happen as quickly as possible? Moreover, such steps taken by the Parti Québécois, the only one that has the authority and the legitimacy to fulfill such a mission, would constitute one of the worst nightmares of our enemies lurking in the pharmacies of Ottawa. In fact, in a document obtained through the Access to Information Act by the Quebec team, a document entitled Anti-Insurgency Guide to National Defense, it is clearly stipulated that the feds fear more than anything let their adversaries (that is to say us) take the path of the world, so as to internationalize their cause and seek allies there.
If this is not desirable for Ottawa, the new friendly capital of Sarkozy, it can only be good for Quebec! And all that is good for Quebec, we are! So let's go! The world is waiting for us!
