My jaw dropped when Parizeau started speaking English. He sounds completely native. I knew he spoke English, but I didn't realize that his English was perfect.
Nah, his accent is just hidden, but you can clearly hear it if you listen for it. Quebec people have a clear accent, but you have to be listening for it for some people.
Each of Quebec’s sovereignist elites are bilingual and so are their children but they pass the same laws which cause most of its population (outside Montreal) to remain unilingual…go figure
If he attended the London School of Economics, he had to learn English. They do not pander to pidgin French in London. The Quebecois really should consider learning English. That way, when they visit Paris, there will be a better chance that someone will understand what they are saying.
His English was perfect. @1:10 he says, "I started to write my paper. I HADN'T had time to write it". That is the correct tense. Many (including native English speakers) would have said, "I started to write my paper. I didn't have time to write it".
Your "emancipation"? You know, you can talk about your independence all you want, but using that word is a real affront to people who have ACTUALLY suffered. Most Prime Ministers of Canada (and almost all the major ones) have been from Quebec, especially over the last half century, and the federal government is filled with Quebecois influence, much more than it should be if we go by population numbers, so to claim that you are somehow second- or third-class citizens or slaves is beyond ridiculous.
How did that sovereignty vote break down, though? When Parizeau said they were beaten by money and the ethnic vote, was he technically correct that the ethnic vote had defeated the separatist cause? And what constituted the "ethnic vote"? He resigned after being attacked for xenophobia, but if ethnic groups did account for the loss (as the Montreal Gazette admitted), it's only a true statement and nothing to be ashamed of. I don't get it. Everytime a politician tells the truth, he/she has to apologize and step down. And then we wonder why politicians aren't honest.
Yes, I remember that from the 2nd Referendum. I was telling my then girlfriend that now he is going to say what he really thinks and then resign tomorrow. That is exactly what happened. @@simplecronista2400
Money? Yes. Canadian unionism is built of money, you got Newfoundland to come in on 52% because of money so it's certainly what ties the country together. Ethnic vote? Yes. Immigrants have been tracking towards the upper middle class history of Montreal and it's constitutional views since the conquest. He spoke correctly. Unsurprising that he's so criticised for it since the French Canadians have always been the only concept of a nation state in Canada. The rest are largely empty headed when it comes to the concept and largely empty headed therefore when it comes to thinking about a country.
He would of be a good politician for Canada but decided to work for Quebec instead! Oh well!… But he is still a great person!… Even if he said things that a lot would love to ignore!
He was a great economist. He knew what was good for Quebec.

He was studied in london, UK.

Un grand Québécois.
L'un des plus admirés de tous les temps.

Canadians are remembering Jacques Parizeau, the late Quebec leader who once took Canada to the brink of separation.
And Quebecers remember him as one of the greatest leaders of our history, who built our economy and fought for our emancipation (not complete yet).

@@alb2076 "Emancipation"?
LMAO
We almost lost our country. He was appealing to the baser emotions of the common people.
@@MaestroTJS These prime ministers of Canada who were Québécois were colonized and ignorant of their own History.

***** Il faudrait juste que tu puisse traduire correctement mais pour le reste.. C'est bon!
What Canada did made him work for Quebec.
Parizeau was against the Mohawk nation, looks like he lost in the end lol, Mohawk power !!!
Long live the real north Americans tha native Indians whose land was stolen!
RIP BOZO LMAO
