Allos Dept: Saint-Laurent is one of the most polyglot ridings in Quebec - 51 per cent allophone, 16.5 per cent anglophone, and 32 per cent francophone, according to the 2006 census. At least 13 different languages have 1,000 or more speakers in the riding, according to Montreal Gazette. That's happening here, and this time extra salt is being rubbed into the wound. Fournier, hoping to make a comeback to the National Assembly, was the minister who rammed the Liberals' rigged demerger bill down the throat of suburbanites across the province in 2004 and the candidate himself, and the party he supports, both richly deserve to be repudiated by allophone and anglophone voters there. During the Charest years, non-francophones have become all too accustomed to abuse from the Liberals. We are the party's most loyal supporters, but anglophone and allophone representation in the cabinet has dwindled to two inexperienced ministers, one of them just demoted. Liberal safe seats, made safe by anglos and allos, are routinely bestowed from on high upon francophone "star" candidates from elsewhere. As
reported in the news.
@t loyal supporters, anglos
