RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Have you ever heard lately a new political party created?You are 100% correct..It was all the power and influence that the church had over their people and the government including wealth.. In fact, when I first came to this country, believe it or not, I was not allowed to attend French elementary...they allowed me to attend only 1st grade in French and that is because there was no place that they could have shipped me into English..but after that..they shipped me into English school and didn't want me back..ib fact I could only remember being ridiculed by the teacher for my ethnic background even though I was a european catholic in name. Most of the problems they have here started out by their own making mostly by the hypocritical catholic church supported by the impotent government with the racist duplessis at the helm

The Catholic influence was and gthe rethoric of business better left in the hands of the English. Money was dirty and any opportunity to be in business discouraged..
It all began more than a century before the Duplessis years. The French were in large part kept ignorant by their own. The church told all good catholics that business and money led to sin.
Many had little to no education. Until the revolution tranquille in the Jean Lesage erra (early 1960s) French Canadian kids had to pay to go to school past grade 7, unless they were favoured to eventually become priests, doctors or lawyers (i.e. only kids with exceptional grades who were sent to Catholic French seminairies at little or no cost to parents.
In fact, the result of being oppressed by the Catholic churchthat's one of the main reasons catholic churchs are now empty and that the younger generation are largely bylingual and much better educated than their parents.
