Here was the PIPE DREAM of a Cambellton, New Brunswick born Parti Kebecois leader named Rene Levesque, who served in the U.S. Armed Forces Radio team as a GI in its broadcasts to German occupied France during World War II, but felt that being a Kebecois (Canadien) made him superior to the Americans and that he was not shown due respect or given a higher post for that.

It was this innate inferiority complex that was to drive him in his hatred of English-speaking people, and it dogged him all his life, till he felt that he could become a somebody by creating a New Nation from the province of Kebec in Canada, and hit back at the English-speaking world.  Since he could very well not strike back at the Americans, he used his political clout to denigrate the English-speaking people of Quebec that is why he concentrated on the Joual language being made Kebec's official language and forcing English-speaking people to leave Kebec by the passage of language laws to oust them by discrimination.

Levesque's first step was to defend the speech of the French President Charles De Gaulle on his visit to Canada during its Centennial Year of Confederation on July 26, 1967.  When De Gaulle gave his infamous "Vive Le Quebec Libre!" speech at Montreal City Hall, and was requested to leave Canada, by Canadian Prime Minister Lester Bowles Pearson.

But Levesque went on to use his newly acquired political power as a cudgel to force others to do his bidding, and defended Kebec's outrageous demands to the point of insanity.   He was even of the belief that he could do no wrong, and bad-mouthed anyone who disagreed with his point of view.

Today, members of the Parti Kebecois are abandoning Parti Kebecois, like rats deserting a sinking ship.  When one sees names like Louise Beaudoin, Pierre Curzi, Lisette Lapointe, Jean-Martin Aussant and Benoit Charette, one can see that the end of the Parti Kebecois is on the horizon.   But, if we can recall, the kings of France did not want to colonize North America, but to use it as a means to trade and be able the obtain riches for their coffers.   Thus, when the fur trade began to cease, they were no longer interested in New France, and were pleased at the British victory in September 1760, and the ceding of their territory of New France to Great Britain.   To the French king it was only a trading venture and no more, and as they referred to it "A few acres of snow!"

This will now mean that Canada can now return to the business of nation building that was interrupted by Levesque's Pipe Dream of a new nation within the confines of the geographic entity of Canada.

The People of Canada, with this event taking place in Kebec, must now concentrate their efforts to create a kinder gentler nation, united in a common cause, to make this Nation proud of its achievements, Past and Present and no person must be left out in this dream of nationhood.
