ik - To Les Québécois. The most privileged "dominated" "people" in human history.
What was said:
The following are translated excerpts from La manière nègre.
Michaëlle Jean: There are three choices when it comes to independence. One choice . . .
Paul Chamberland, poet and sovereigntist: (Surprised) Three choices?
Ms. Jean: Yes! There is the painful choice, which was Haiti's, as I was saying before . . . there is Martinique, for which [the choice] is compromise, and Quebec, where it's on hold.
Group of well-known Quebec nationalists along with Haitian-born Quebeckers such as Ms. Jean and novelist Dany Laferrière:
Mr. Chamberland (raising a glass of wine for a toast): To independence! To independence!
Yves Préfontaine: To independence!
Several toast poet and politician Aimé Césaire, the Martinique-born subject of the documentary.
Mr. Laferrière: To people without adjectives!
Mr. Chamberland: Hear, hear!
Mr. Laferrière: To dominated people!
Mr. Chamberland: Hear, hear!
Ms. Jean: No more dominated people!
ik - Ok. I'm angry now. More Quebecer versus Quebecer. If anyone is on hold, it's Canada.
