Mr. Speaker, it was on a sunny day in September 1759 that the beautiful partnership between the French and the English began. This beautiful friendship, born on the Plains of Abraham, would give rise to moments filled with affection, including the banning of French in schools, the hanging of patriots, the Durham report, the execution of Riel, the Quebec City riot over conscription, the War Measures Act, the night of the long knives, Meech Lake and more.
There are limits to offering a different perspective on history. Does this simply prove that the Prime Minister knows nothing about the history of Quebeckers and francophones in Canada?
