Opinion: More challenges ahead for English-speaking Quebecers in 2023

I remember another episode when the English Montrealers felt oppressed... They burned down the Canadian Parliament in Montreal and threw rocks and rotting vegetables at Lord Elgin.

The people were called to arms by an editorial in the Montreal Gazette...

​Anglo-Saxons! you must live for the future. Your blood and race will now be supreme, if true to yourselves. You will be English "at the expense of not being British." To whom and what, is your allegiance now? Answer each man for himself.

The puppet in the pageant must be recalled, or driven away by the universal contempt of the people.

In the language of William the Fourth, "Canada is lost, and given away."

A Mass Meeting will be held on the Place d'Armes this evening at 8 o'clock. Anglo-Saxons to the struggle, now is your time. — Montreal Gazette, "Extra" of April 25, 1849

How times have not changed...
