And the feds ran away. So the sensitivities of thugs humiliate Canada. Shameful.

I think we can agree with the separatists, this amounts to their single greatest achievement in 30 years. They were not so lucky turning back Paul McCartney, but a bunch of geeks in costumes? Crushed like bugs on a windshield.
And its a terrific message to send the world: here in Quebec, hatreds and humiliations linger for centuries. A man, born in 1974, can harbor resentments from events that happened over 400 years ago. Here in Quebec, we say that’s normal and healthy.
So, my Serbian, Kosovar, Bosnian friends: remember that battle 800 years ago? We agree! You should still be pissed.
And my friends in the middle east, remember the crusades? You should still be pissed.
Ukranians should still hate Mongolians. Hungarians should hate Turks. And the english still have every right to covet Brittany.
At least, that’s how we see it in vibrant, confident Quebec.
Let us know of other historical reverses never to be forgotten or forgiven. And remember that the Crusader states existed for less than two hundred years, whereas…

It was not “geeks in costumes” who cried Wolfe, but the president of the National Battlefields Commission (I would be interested in who appointed him). The mostly American re-enactors would probably have more guts.

Well, there was that little Invasión Estadounidense de México back in 1847.
Every currently identified ethnicity in the United Kingdom stole the land from someone else – Normans, Danes, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Celts, Romans etc. We should demand they all withdraw to the central Asian steppe and allow the little people to re-emerge from the Fairy Mounds to dance around Stonehenge.
Better yet, lets make everyone leave everywhere, and we can all move to the Olduvai Gorge and fight over rocks there.
S’funny but you never hear the Arabs yearning for the return of the Ottomans.
I suspect if the Neanderthals were still around, they’d have a thing or two to say to us descendants of the Cro-Magnons.
Don’t dress like this either…
They conquered the Gauls.
Lousy Cro-Magnons. I hate them SO MUCH!!!

It seems to me the real humiliation of Quebec wasn’t the Plains of Abraham but the dismissal of New France by the French after the Treaty of Paris. The French essentially traded New France for Martinique which was deemed more valuable.
John B, got there before me. I was going to point out that Quebec was not conquered but abandoned by the French. Now that France itself is completely defanged and declawed and no longer there to support Quebec’s loony demands it’s about time Quebeckers were told to put up, shut up and referred to the fsble of the boy who cried wolf!
