- After leaving Montreal for the west coast, Terry DiMonte has returned. He chats about it with Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on The Corner Booth at the Snowdon Deli in Montreal on Friday September 27, 2024.
English Quebeckesr are soooooo different than Canadian anglos. Seriously. Quebec anglos have a hard time when they go into the ROC cause in essence they have a french heart! Lol!. A lot of friends have told me this. En tout cas... vive la difference! Et welcome back à Montreal!
I've only ever heard the opposite. Why would it be hard for an english speaker in a province outside Quebec?
The guy in the video said even when he left, he stayed subscribed to Montreal Gazette, but he couldn't follow Quebec politics because it was so depressing, then he said that it's great that Quebec politics is so interesting. He made a few other contradictions. I'm pretty sure he is in radio, so having lots of divisive topics to talk about is a plus for him. Seems like a nice person, but I won't take his word for it.
The Three Wise Men of the Snowden Deli. Nice to see TD again. I love BC but it should be noted that aside from 1st Nations, the place (especially Vancouver) is ‘younger’, so less old taverns and institutions etc. They haven’t got the history of the East coast.
Am an Australian et mon Mari et quebec ……J’adore Quebec
When I was a student at the University of Sherbrooke, in comparative studies, one of my English literature professors was from Vancouver. He once told me that Vancouver was like a lotus, all its beauty being on the surface, but without roots, unlike Quebec, the language, the culture make it unique in North America. He hoped that we would never lose these assets. Would he be of the same opinion if he still lives with the decline of French throughout Canada today?
It's not true at 24:48, as nationalist I have respect for the long time native english community. The government must make sure to respect your right (more than the french canadien around the ROC ;) ) at the same time if your arrive a month ago and choose to live in Québec you MUST live in french and you have no right to choose english. If english was your choice you should have go to any other part of Canada or US or.,.. not my problem. We won't get assimilate by this process!!!
Mordechai Richler did the same too, funny enough. He also moved back to Montreal because he said that the ROC was boring. It's funny how even the people here who don't really care for the language, or at least the laws, feel they left something when they leave. Is it Québec culture or is it fighting Québecois culture? I just came here become bilingual and see if the women were as cute as I was told. I planned to be here 2 years. It became 9.
But I need to buy a home, so I need to go to Alberta or live in a shoebox for the rest of my life. Maybe I'll miss it. Maybe I'll feel guilty if my French slips. Maybe I'll die a little inside when trying to talk about Québec to Albertans. Or maybe I'll feel some relief living somewhere where people over 50 don't victim puke at me about what happened to them between 1970 and 1996, and where people of different backgrounds aren't scared shitless of each other.
Di Monte was fed up by Québec, he left, but suddenly... "Je me souviens" that here is home and here he is happier. Next step for Terry is to say " Vive le Québec libre".
Terry is looking great. Welcome home, I’m someone who grew up in the 70’s in Pierrefonds as well. One of the few that never left like so many of my English friends. 🙏
Here is my comment. If someone wouldn't seek to befriend Terry, there's something wrong with them. Such a charming and nice guy. Great discussion.
Le Québec est une société, un peuple, composé à plus de 80% de francophone...J'ai tellement hâte de sentir du support et un peu de reconnaissance de la part des anglo-Québécois pour tout ce qui est magnifique et pacifique au Québec ! Vive le Québec fier depuis 1608 et pour 400 ans encore ! Ty for your great message today Mr Dimonte hope more anglo-Quebecers realize how great Quebec is ! Québec independance will be made one day to celebrate and protect who we are...Nothing against others ! Amour propre ! Au plaisir !
You didn't watch the video.
@@trevorchabot864 J'ai regardé ce vidéo de la première seconde à la dernière !
I knew you would come back 😊 Montreal and Quebec DNA is in your blood !!
Terry...you are so right !! We acquiesced to everything they wanted.
Mr. Montreal
Mr Demonte concerning university fees! LOL, Here we go again!. Why does French speaking Quebecers have to pay for the education of English speakers from out of province. Honestly! Quebecers paid for the education of thousands of doctors that are practicing in Ontario. Also. where is the French University with cheap fees for French Quebecers in Ontario paid by Ontario Taxpayers. There is no reciprocity in English Canada. we got to stop the gravy train!
That’s like Japan for me. Stayed 4 years and found that it’s a country with a bullying and choking culture. And too many perverts. I was lured to Canada because of lake Louise too. But I move to Montreal because of work. I have great neighbours. Quite happy so far. Food scene though not multiple cultural enough yet
Pourquoi un gouvernement du PQ serait pire que celui de la CAQ ? Nos meilleurs gouvernements ont ete ceux du PQ, point a la ligne,avec celui de Lesage-Levesque.
Of course they are talking from the anglo-Montrealer perspective. Rene-Levesque is only for you guys. Nothing is more disastrous than a demon robbing english-speaking assets.
Thank you. Great show. Montreal is certainly unique.
Welcome back to Montréal.
I also feel attached to Montreal but refuse to live in town it has been mismanaged and is not the place you remember it is scary
The CAQ has run out of money. Problems are province wide. Road projects halted halfway through completion. Hospitals ceasing operations. Schools not getting promised upgrades. Legault is blaming Trudeau, immigrants, and nurses.
@@trevorchabot864 where did all the tax money go .Seems irresponsible to destroy what took 100s of years to become what was the greatest city in the world. Montreal is similar to all the other out of control cities of the world and it started with the obstruction of fluent moving traffic (bike lanes) by the bad city planning .Why does a bar have a limit of people same should be for cities, just saying that at this pace GOD help us all
@@giovanniiaquinta880 "In addition, the employment rate was higher among immigrants (65.9%) than native-born Quebecers (60.5%), essentially because of a higher employment rate among those aged 55 and over among immigrants. The unemployment rate of immigrants was 5.8%, while that of non-immigrants was 3.8%." --Bilan du marché du travail au Québec en 2022(Que. Gov.)
Employment rate = (number of people who are employed / total labor force) x 100
Unemployment Rate = No. of Unemployed Persons / (No. of Employed Persons + No. of Unemployed Persons)
How immigrants are more employed, but also less employed, is a mystery to me. Anyway, the math doesn't support the idea that immigrants are to blame for a shortfall of money. And I'm for lowering immigration, just because I hate city sprawl, and I'm not overly fond of people.
Welcome back Terry!
Good grief I left in 1978 too.
Am a francophone. I am happy to hear that. Nice point of view.
Loved the conversation and learn from your way you view coming back in québec!
Bravo! Belle entrevue guys!
great show welcome back TdiM
Welcome Back Terry! I've been listening to you all my life, pretty much, so nice to have you back!😁
As a franco, i'm so glad he came back ❤ .
Great series. I left Quebec in the 1970s never to return.
you left, but not totally, you are still interested by what's happening here. Maybe because you are bored out there.
@@claudelalonde1732 Good point.
