The Canadian National Newspaper: Bloc Quebecois borrows Nazi techniques

In the early 1930's, the German Nazi Party used to portray themselves as some sort of "left-wing" progressive political party. That is why this party had referred to themselves as "National Socialists". By portraying themselves as a 'populist progressive movement', these so-called "National Socialists" could exploit the social malaise that had existed in Germany. However, these "National Socialists" were far from being progressive. The Nazi's progressive presentation which selectively used socialist rhetoric, was a public relations facade to cover up their essentially racist and fascist ideology.

Similarly, the Bloc Quebecois led by Gilles Duceppe, in confederacy with the Quebec provincial Parti Quebecois, has selectively used left-wing, to cover their essentially racist orientation. Indeed, Quebec francophone author Esther Delisle had uncovered historical support by Quebec nationalists elites for Nazism.

Esther Delisle's exposé

In a 1993 book, 'The Traitor and the Jew: Anti-Semitism and the extremist right-wing nationalism in French Canada from 1929 to 1939' , Esther Delisle, a Québec historian, argued that some leading French Canadian figures and organizations of the 30's and 40's, forerunners of the actual nationalist movement associated with the Bloc, were openly racist and anti-Semite, if not fascist. She produces hundreds of quotations from reputed nationalist historian Canon Lionel Groulx, the Montréal daily Le Devoir, nationalist review L'Action nationale, and the Jeune-Canada association.

Delisle claimed, for example, that Groulx, under the pseudonym Jacques Brassier, had written in 1933 in Action Nationale:

"Within six months or a year, the Jewish problem could be resolved, not only in Montreal but from one end of the province of Quebec to the other. There would be no more Jews here other than those who could survive by living off one another."

In 1998, Esther Delisle published, Myths, Memories and Lies, an account of how some members of Quebec's elite, nationalist and federalist, supported Nazi collaborator Marshall Philippe Pétain and his Vichy government in Nazi-occupied France World War II.

A 2002 documentary film by Eric Scott titled Je Me Souviens, recounts Delisle's story using rare archival footage with speeches and commentaries by some of Quebec's leading nationalist figures of the time.

Delisle has continued to be marginalized from employment opportunities in Quebec, by that province's apparent reactionary political Establishment.

Propagandized Racist Mythology and the "Big Lie"

The Nazi Party as presented in Adolf Hiltler's 'Mein Kampf' spread racist mythology that its leadership were descendants of a superior "Aryan" race, that was being "threatened" by other races. Similarly, the Bloc Quebecois and the Part Quebecois elites spread a racist mythology that they are descendants of "pure laines". This is a fabricated notion of a racially pure "white-like-wool" French "racial stock", that still lives-on in Quebec. According to Quebec racialists, "pure laines" are superior, sort of francophones, with a "virility", reminiscent of Anglo-Saxon Aryans in German Nazi mythology.

The evidence demonstrates that virtually all of the self-professed "pure laines" Quebecois, are 'racially mixed' with aboriginal, and other socio-cultural backgrounds. However, the Quebec political Establishment would rather not reveal such detail, which would "compromise" the apparent cynical personal political ambitions.

Quebec "Nationalists" in their campaign efforts for the separation of Quebec from Canada rely on the systematized re-creation of history. This historically documented process dates back from racist myths that were created by Quebec right-wing Roman Catholic 'Ultramontane' Clerics in the 1840's. The Nazis referred to these kinds of techniques, that continue to be used by the political leadership of the Bloc in the Federal 2006 Election Campaign, as the "Big Lie". Historians define the 'Big Lie' as a "repeated distortion of the truth on a grand scale, especially for propaganda purposes".

Quebec separatism à la Nazism has been carefully constructed around a tissues of lies, that has been maintained in a socio-cultural milieu of reinforced ignorance and bigotry.

The "true colours" of the Bloc Quebecois revealed

The "true colours" of the Bloc and its confederates, were revealed in the late Spring 2005, when that party colluded with the ultra-right wing and U.S. annexationist Conservative Party of Canada. Such a collusion was totally inconsistent with the socially progressive professings of Gilles Duceppe, and his Bloc Quebecois. Indeed, a prospective Conservative Party government under Stephen Harper would have irrevocably destroyed Quebec's social policy infrastructure, and would have eventually led to the expedited take-over and corporate-led assimilation of Quebec by the U.S.

Gilles Duceppe's reported pre-occupations with the sought the creation of a 'Quebec Army', rather than worsening social malaise in Quebec due to "Free Trade" with the United States, further substantiates Mr. Duceppe's apparent crypto-fascistic tendencies. Militarism has historically been a technique used by Nazis and fascists to rally political support against a vilified "common enemy".

Challenging Quebec Separatist Bigotry

A critical appreciation of Canadian history would reveal that francophones in Quebec are not part of a "distinct race" or "nationality" that is totally separate from francophones in other parts of Canada. The 'white francophones' who are born in Ottawa, for example, share a similar "ethnic" heritage to francophones who are born in the Quebec side of the Ottawa River in Gatineau. A further critical appreciation would reveal that 'Canadien' is the broad common ancestral heritage of francophones of European ancestry in Quebec, and other parts of Canada (outside of 'Acadia' communities in the Maritimes who are ethnically separate). Indeed, before the "British Conquest" in the late eighteenth century, and before the racist propaganda that was proselytized by right-wing Quebec clerics, francophones in Quebec proudly referred to themselves as 'Canadiens'. These Canadians embraced their mixed ancestral heritage with Native-Canadians, and Canadians of other backgrounds.

The Political Significance of Quebec Separatism

Quebec separatism is the "industry of elites" who seek to perpetuate their capitalistocratic power through an apparent tissues of lies. These elites share a basic contrived racially-focused definition of society, which perceives Canada as a society of "mongrel" races in a similar ways the Hitler's Nazi used to perceive the outside world. The defeat of separatism in Quebec relies on exposing the essential right-wing and racist prism held by political leaders of the Bloc and the Parti Quebecois. These elites have consolidated their power with the use of a similarly racist prism held by owners of Quebec media organizations that Esther Delisle had revealed, and in a milieu of "fluff" journalism owned by the political apologists of an overall Canadian racism, presented by mass-media organizations in other parts of Canada. It is vital that supporters of a vision of Canada as a socially progressive and multi-cultural society (that former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau championed), challenge the attempts by Quebec elites to emulate apparent Nazi techniques, in pursuit of a creation political entity with an apparent racist political agenda.

Free Trade and Bloc Quebecois Elite Hypocrisy

"Free Trade" with the United States has precipitated worsening poverty, alienation, social malaise, and conditions for crime. The Jean Charest Quebec Liberal government has cut many social programmes in Quebec to comply with Free Trade.

As "Free Trade" undermines Canadian sovereignty, it also undermines local control by Quebecers in their own political economy, as American interests execute corporate take-overs of Quebec businesses and vital resources. The Bloc Quebecois and Parti Quebecois criticize the provincial and federal Liberals for worsening social conditions in Quebec, which in fact, have been precipitated by "Free Trade", that is also hypocritically supported by Bloc and Parti Quebecois elites. Bloc and Parti Quebecois elites support of "Free Trade", in tandem with the Conservative Party of Canada... and Liberals, further shows that substantively separatist elites are politically disingenuous reactionaries.

Separatist elites are using Nazi techniques to pursue an agenda of greed-driven crass materialistic political self-aggrandizement (in the same apparent corrupt manner as other "Free Trade" supporting Canadian politicians). The Quebec elites seek to secure the financial-equivalent support of U.S. Big Business interests, at the substantive cultural, political economic and environmental expenses against the quality-of-living of Quebecers.
