I just wonder when people outside of Quebec indeed from other communities are going to realize that they are really dealing with Sociopaths.  The way from all the other communities has realized that it's not just the English-speaking communities that are being discriminated, but anyone who is not from the Metis Nation of Quebec.

The Radio-Canada network was created solely for the Joual-speaking Metis Nation in Canada, and not even for immigrants from France.  So why did Claude Dubois rant against the CBC?  Because, the Quebecois since the days of the Trudeau era have felt that they were in the DRIVER'S SEAT, and that not only RADIO-CANADA but the CBC owed them privileges because of their DISTINCT RACE. Has anyone taken the time to seek out the reason why that Quebecoise chanteuse Celine Dion was pushed by the both the federal government of Canada and the provincial government onto English language TV and radio? Thus, English language vocalists were being given the bums rush, even on English language TV and radio stations.

Claude Dubois should not complain about the CBC's English language network leaving out him and other joualophone artists also being left out of the CBC telecast of the gala. It has nothing to do with racism or being anti-joualophone at all, but aimed at the people who belong to the English-speaking community, and it is certainly not an insult to all Quebecois, whose province has deemed English as an offensive language.

What Claude Dubois has also done is drag the story of "The White Niggers of America" by Pierre Vallieres into the fray. Of course, no one has as yet mentioned the fact that the story really came out of the Tombs, as the prison in New York City was called, where Pierre Vallieres was incarcerated for breaking the law, and not in Canada. Claude Dubois should therefore ask Radio-Canada to hold such a gala for joualophone artists, case closed.

Now let's get down to the nitty gritty and ask why English-speaking artists are left out of the Radio-Canada broadcasts?  Was it because they do not speak Joual, or was it because of their race?

What was brought up today in the National Post was a letter from Dr. Martin Eideinger, DD of Westmount, Quebec, is food for thought. Why was it that the Parti Quebecois government of Rene Levesque organized a tour of Europe for Quebecois artists, poets, singers, etc., with all expenses paid for by the provincial government? The group was large and the tour was covered extensively by the news media. But absent from this group was any Quebec artist whose primary language was English, including author Mordecai Richler of Montreal?  None of the Quebecois artists, singers and song-writers complained about this discrimination. So there is no doubt that there are many cases of open discrimination against les anglais and les autres.  From this we can see quite clearly see that Quebecois Society is Sociopathic in its very nature. So what have Quebecois racists like Claude Dubois really got to complain about?
