It’s incredible how much more vague, dismissive and unsympathetic the cbc.ca article is than the radio-canada.ca one. The English media really is dropping the ball on this one issue consistently. The ctv article seems to focus on the violence like they always do, cjad is very just-the-facts (but terse). The one glimmer of hope? The Gazette’s article was surprisingly student-focused and positive.

The english media simply reflects the views of it’s market, who overwhelmingly votes liberal (that’s the famed “ethnic vote”), and since the tuition hike is the brainchild of the liberals, it is perfectly normal that the english are for it and therefore are dismissive of the “red squares”.
Really, it’s the same old fights from time immemorial where the english simply do not want the french to improve their lives.

Hi Jean Naimard! Hold still, I’m loading up my longbow.

And all this time I thought qatzelok was jeannaimard.

I don’t get the longbow reference. Should I know who Jean Naimard is?

It’s a reference to the Norman invasion. Jean Naimard is a famous reddit troll whose political views strongly resemble those of our resident jew-and-anglo hater, qatzelok, particularly in the notion of anglos being evil colonialists who have no culture of their own.

During the battle of Agincourt, the English force defeated the more numerous French army by strategic use of their longbows.
I never thought Jean Naimard and qatzelok were the same person, partly because qatzelok keeps a blog in English, which surely Jean Naimard would not.

Nice, I was wondering if you were referring to the victory at Agincourt or the loss at Hastings. Either way it’s comical to think of the French as benefactors to the English if you know any history at all. After all, the whole dilemma of Quebec was founded in the French defeat at the Plains of Abraham…
