A speech that is well needed today in light to what is going on with all this newfound anti nationalism which is in hot pursuit of ending who we are and what we were.
Parizeau was privately educated in both English and French since childhood and lived and studied in the United Kingdom for a large part of his academic career, whereas Chrétien didn't even leave Québec until his thirties. Chrétien having Bell's palsy ("I don't talk out of BOTH sides of my mouth!") didn't help either.
He speaks it FUCKING GOOD! He’es noy hesitsting, not looking for his words eighter like when Legault speaks English. Or when Justin Trudeau speaks French!
He had an advanced degree from the London School of Economics. He was also considered an anglophile, interested in British culture. He was an interesting guy.
This man was smart, very smart, yet things went little wrong... As a European from the very heart of hers with a deep understanding of separatism, I sincerely admire this man. His English is indescribable good, the pace of the speech is maybe too fast.
They're pretty words... "we're all Quebeckers"... fine stuff.... but on the night, he wobbled out there and fired off a pretty exclusive-sounding "nous". The "we" who were frustrated were pretty clearly not simply yes voters. He was talking about the "real" Quebeckers of his reckoning, and that of others. Frankly we see it even in the actions of a Quebec still ostensibly part of the Canadian federation. It's plain that, outside of Montreal perhaps, Quebec is intended as the homeland of just some of the people who live there, and it simply tolerates the rest to the extent that law and reputation demand. That Quebec, once a model of self-confidence that put the rest of Canada to shame, has grown so timid and defensive, when its rights and status have never been more secure and accepted all across Canada and beyond, utterly confounds me.
It's always a bit complicated. On one hand, Quebecois identity is based on the fact they speak french as opposed to the rest of Canada that speaks english. On the other hand, this makes it very difficult to convince people that doesn't have french as their mother tongue to vote for the " yes ". Canada knows this and spends a lot of money to gain support in these so called "ethnic groups". In this context, you have to ask yourself, "' who is trying to divide up society? '' . You may criticize Parizeau for saying what he did, but 95% of allophones did vote for the ''No" while 60% of francophones voted "yes". Imagine having your long lifedream crushed and having to pretend like a group of people didn't actively try to sabotage your camp because you will "hurt their feelings"... But hey, it's been almost 30 years. "Passons à autre chose", maybe this time, we could convince allophones to vote for the " yes " in the name of solidarity. In fact, I am myself an example of a non-white quebecois who support independance.
Totally agree. They all say the same. Levesque, Parizeau, Marois, Legault. We respect our Anglo neighbours and will respect their rights… until they get into office. With Parizeau the words “In vino veritas” were never more true.
British colonialism has always been about assimilating while sucking off colonies and using them for their assets. Then the british colonial mentality says "oh but why can't they just accept the British culture as the saviour it is to them, oh them who know not culture or literature. Look at our empire, how it accepts and shoulders these communities within its bounds." in the mean time, they work at dissolving and erasing the cultures of the nations they conquer..."How dare they cause opposition in our great empire, after we used them for our benefit and paid them poorly whilst dissolving their culture into nothingness?" It's not about English vs French. It's about handling business and life the way the people who live and work there see it, whatever their language.
J'aime bien son idiolecte bizarre et mi-atlantique en anglais. Il parlait donc à une manière unique, tant rhotique et non-rhotique. Par exemple, il prononçait les rs à la fin du mot à la manière canadienne, mais il trillait les rs au milieu du mot comme les aristocrates britanniques.
Reposez en paix. J'ai toujours cru au potentiel du Québec malgré le fait que je voulais le voir se développer au sein d'un Canada uni, mais je ne me fais pas d'illusion... quelque chose de grand doit se produire pour ébranler les fondations de ce pays, pour que l'on sorte de ce statu quo. Souveraineté ou autre, cela prendra peut-être encore plusieurs années, mais j'ose croire que l'on existera encore et qu'on aura la chance de se développer pleinement sous notre identité francophone.
It would take a real leader to drive you to an independent Quebec. Unfortunately he was a technocrat rather than a smart politician. When he was defated he unleashed his anger and crumble what other people spent years to build. Rip Parizeau but the ethnic vote prevailed 😏
Well at les hé was a good leader look at what type of politicien Canada got the Trudeau and hé was right the canadien gouvernement did not play fair for both referendum si hé was right to be angry what he said was wrong but he was right to be angry
I agree on the first point. He even called himself, with humour, a « heartless technocrat ». That’s why he brought Lucien Bouchard in the campaign, because he knew that it was Bouchard who was able to speak to quebecers heart. On your second point, the way he said « because of money and some ethnic voters » was not a good way to express himself. But, time showed that, indeed, Canada doubled immigration in Quebec year before the referendum and accelerated their citizenship process so that they had the right to vote on October 1995. We don’t blame those immigrants. My parents are immigrants. The firsts years in a new country, you want stability. But a lot of the immigrants who voted No in 1995 would vote Yes today. We blame the Canadian government to have instrumentalized those immigrants, who only wanted to live in Canada.
Je résumerais qu'un référendum n'est pas une action contre les anglophones mais une pour la survie des francophones puisqu'on sait tous que l'anglais sera toujours nécessaire pour les affaires internationales.
@@firthbythesea Ah je pensais que le Lieutenant-Gouverneur serait devenu président automatiquement dès l’indépendance et que Jacques Parizeau serait resté le premier ministre.
René Lévesque, Jacques Parizeau, Lucien Bouchard, Jean-François Lisée. Tous parfaitement à l'aise en anglais et à leur avantage sans aucun doute. Pourtant, prétendent-ils, il serait délétère pour les Québécois francophones d'apprendre l'anglais. Quelle hypocrisie et ironie. Cela les a-t-il rendus moins Québécois ? Pourquoi ce qui est bon pour eux n'est-il pas bon pour le public ? Ils accordent le droit au bilinguisme aux anglophones, alors pourquoi pas aux francophones aussi. C'est temps que le peuple québécois se réveillent et réalisent qui sont les vrais oppresseurs.
L'hypocrisie ne serait telle pas un pays dit bilingue alors qu'une province est bilingue à 50% et que le reste du pays l'est à moins a 18% (incluant la province bilingue à 50%)...
@@fredgreg28 Je suis parfaitement d'accord avec vous ! Le bilinguisme dans ce pays est pratiquement à sens unique, donc à long terme c'est assurément la disparition du français parce que ce qui a sauvé notre langue jusqu'à ces dernières années c'est que les francophones étaient majoritairement unilingues. Mais la tendance est en train d'être renversée avec Montréal notre métropole qui n'est plus majoritairement francophone. L'indépendance du Québec devient alors une nécessité pour donner une pérennité à notre culture qui à la base repose sur une langue commune.
Bunch of fairytale, keep a currency that you would have no control over... cool. Free flowing border... cool. Cool story bro, pass me that joint you're smoking.

Jacques Parizeau speaks better English than Jean Chretien......
A speech that is well needed today in light to what is going on with all this newfound anti nationalism which is in hot pursuit of ending who we are and what we were.
The reason Parizeau spoke better English has to do with him going to school in England when he was a young man!!
Parizeau was privately educated in both English and French since childhood and lived and studied in the United Kingdom for a large part of his academic career, whereas Chrétien didn't even leave Québec until his thirties.
Chrétien having Bell's palsy ("I don't talk out of BOTH sides of my mouth!") didn't help either.

@@mtlmusic5143 Gilles Duceppe speaks English well compared to Yves Francois Blanchet who has to search for his words!!

Damn. His English is actually insanely good. I wasn't expecting that at all. I don't even hear a franco accent.
He had an advanced degree from the London School of Economics. He was also considered an anglophile, interested in British culture. He was an interesting guy.
@@RommelsAsparagus Just like Lévesque who's favorite city was London
@@RommelsAsparagus Oddly enough, Gilles Duceppe had a British connection too - his grandfather. He would joke that he was "a bloke who turned Bloc."
@@michaellee3836 Interesting. Never would have guessed.

Love him or hate him, this guy had immense energy, wit, and political strategy.
Why does this look like a cutscene from 'Command and Conquer?'
dude for real 😂
lol i think its because of the way he has his hands together
Why does a French Canadian separatist speak better English than most Americans or Canadians lol
Parizeau was immensely well educated. He has a PhD from the London School of Economics. He had a great financial acumen.
Parizeau was an economic genius of a finance minister, so sad that his dream of a sovereign Quebec never materialized.
It be very interesting if the vote had gone his way. A yes vote would have triggered an uncertain outcome.
They're pretty words... "we're all Quebeckers"... fine stuff.... but on the night, he wobbled out there and fired off a pretty exclusive-sounding "nous". The "we" who were frustrated were pretty clearly not simply yes voters. He was talking about the "real" Quebeckers of his reckoning, and that of others.
