IUC Word Exclusive: Hosts of Tout Le Monde En Parle Continuously Made Fun of Way I Dress; Radio Canada employee calls it “lynching job”
The hosts and panel of Tout Le Monde En Parle kept making fun of the way I dressed. Note to them: it is what we are like underneath the skin that matters not an unusual dress sense and it would be boring if we all dressed the same! FYI, I wore the Quebec rings and tie in respect to my many francophone friends who have supported my music and books for the past 20 years. To them – merci pour ton support. Et merci pour tes bons mots cette semaine. Je t’adore!!!!!
“They were prejudice against you in every way,” a Radio Canada employee told me today. “After what I saw on tv the other night I’m ashamed to admit I have anything to do with that organization. I wish they’d admit they were wrong, apologize and try to move forward. Most of the people in the building are furious over the way they’re trying to deny this. Never have I seen such a lynching job on any tv station.”
As for my glasses – if I recall correctly nobody has ever asked Luc Plamondon to take off his shades on tv before. Enough said!!!!

Here’s a little scoop on the largely French-Canadian viewing audience.
18 Canadian Nobel Laureates. Not one French-Canadian.
At least 3 of the 4 Nobel prize-winners from Quebec are Jewish; as for the fourth, Jack Szostak, it’s your guess.
What is it about French-Canadian “culture” that tramples the power of thought and extinguishes the spark of genius?

What are you trying to say? Express your hatred more clearly please.
Replyyeah people here are dumb. If someone is successful they will hate him.
ReplyIan gets hit by Guy and Dany, the Francosupremacists of TLMEP – but they messed with the wrong guy.
Here’s an exerpt of what I wrote last year from this page (paints a descriptive picture of how QC needs to patch itself from the gang tactics):

This faction, which gives us the impression of frequently kicking down the Lingua Franca (and treating those who speak English as 2nd class Citizens), for being wrongly associated with imperialism, and subsequently thwart job opportunities as a consequence – then QC is, maudit et suivra le même déclin dans laquelle il se trouve actuellement. Quebeckers want to get out of the stone ages, but these knuckle-draggers, easily identified as exclusionists by using a checklist: Anglophobic, Cyberbullies (attack every line in forums, like trolls), ignorant (while calling everyone else clueless), preach that the rest of Canada n’est pas mon pays, tells you décalisse d’icite maudit Anglais (territorials, confusing England with Canada), modèle Québécois worshippers (fine to be proud, but completely intolerant for those who do things differently please), wanting to eliminate English names in a bilingual city, if you don’t want to be like us clan/screw you learn French or leave (wow, very neighbourly!…and for those bad a languages?), preach loudly that the Canadian constitution doesn’t exist here [in QC], and, as disgusting as it is to hear, sometimes Hitler sympathisers due to his great damage to the Commonwealth in which they live in. These childish (anecdote: I became ones’ boss and he decided not to show up for work for the better part of a week – an example of how much repetitive brain-washing will do) belligerents still fighting after centuries of losing a battle that paved the way for the foundation of modern Canada (like people fighting the tide, or trying to change the outcome of the battle on the Plains, which is funny considering that the U.K. still celebrates almost yearly the Franco-Norman invasion by means of re-enacting the loss at Hastings) even if the French language is not in danger in the province itself (whilst the only real thing diminishing is bilingualism, English in QC and the rights of minorities): seemingly following the ancien regime policy of France, to act and take every possible means to insult, to disgrace, and triumph over a minorities’ weakness within this province (ceux sont les agresseurs qui aiment bien profité de la vulnérabilité des minorités à l’intérieur de la province) – even to the point of publicly insulting victims (jeez sounds like the Bye Bye 2008 doesn’t it…lambasted by just about everyone thankfully) – ideas from mid the sixteenth century (yeah, and some militants are very proud to be that retrograde – note this is just a demonstration by an actor at Radio-Canada, similar to how a Red-neck would ramble on in English or spit in the direction of someone who speaks French, as I have witnessed once in B.C.’s rural communities). These are normally aggressive men since the women do not act this dense in public, but Madame Marois and Madame Harel cannot change their stripes, sorry no matter how nice your smiles are Ladies! ll faut revenir à la tolérance de notre cher Guy Favreau SVP – the majority must remember its true history and not the biased post-Bill 101 generation revisionist history moulded by separatist political parties and their repetitive propaganda. Le Québec, mon cher, ça vas faire l’Anglophobie! Notre propre gouvernement et sa faction anglophobe nous traite d’esclaves (second class without question) et viole nos droits quotidiennement, et d’autres minorités bien souvent aussi.
The clanniste types will try and make us feel guilty for something that happened before the majority of us had the chance to make a difference or act – speading lies such as if the English speaking minority doesn’t want to learn French (even though the statistics show we are 90% bilingual on both sides of the linguistic fence locally, but on the English speaking side still get the never-ending harassment/judgementalism/guilt trip from separatists). Do not expect someone to apologise for territory gained by Right of Conquest from several hundreds of years ago, nor shall we be made to feel like we are ‘impostors’ in our own province (as explained eloquently by notre cher René-Daniel Dubois
Can someone really be that thick? Can someone tell me the solution to this distinct ignorance? Est-ce qu’on peut dire ensemble que ce n’est pas acceuillant?
mostly by the gros bébés qui lache pas leur nombril ? Merci BAZZO!): even after the government mistakenly translates a letter to new businesses that start up here requesting English documentation (thwarting external business investment in the province on purpose?) – calling those from outside the province Artificial Persons – a very bad, perhaps intentional translation of Personne Morale – a simple fix by means of using Google to search on the Govt. of Canada site would show Corporate Body is the correct translation (only two clicks away Mr. Craig at Revenu QC, and no ‘I’m not a linguist’, just a citizen who knows his own language and was trying to follow up on a complaint three phone calls still could not fix: denial, reprisal, arrogance, ignorance, you chose the excuse for making outsiders feel ‘artificial’). Recently, I even had one RQ employee tell me that it’s not possible that my social insurance number (SIN) start with a 7
We can make a difference and embrace bilingualism not only for many of the reasons above – mais il faut penser aussi, ceux qui vivent en Europe, par défaut, doivent apprendre trois langues normalement au début. Pensez plus loin que les deux langues, s’il vous plait. We have to help people learn French in Montreal by promoting bilingualism, since we are a bilingual country, even my father in Vancouver shows us an example of French speakers in Vancouver back in the early eighteys (see near the end of the clip please), and to welcome visitors here, meaning signs should be equal in size when it is with respect to a person’s security, and to help those who wish to learn French slowly (while seeing the equivalent in the other language), since it is done in several ways/speeds depending each individual and their situation.
>>>>see the blog for the rest. Keep it up Ian, you didn’t ask for their unwanted attack and now your lawyers will show them how to eat some HUMBLE PIE
ReplyTo the Nicolas’ of this world, and to you too, Ian.
It doesn’t pay to try to answer a racist or an anti-Semite by calling him a racist or an anti-Semite or by saying how hurt he’s made you feel. First of all, have you ever met a racist or anti-Semite who would admit to being one. Quite the contrary. They usually start their hatred by saying, “I’m not a racist or I’m not an anti-Semite, but … And it’s what follows the “but”, that proves their racism or anti-Semitism.
No, the answer to the racist or the anti-Semite is to look at the “tribe” or “group” from which the rocks are being thrown and WITH INCONTROVERTIBLE FACTS, throw the rocks right back in their face.
For instance, when a French-Canadian knows that his Jew bashing will only cause his tribe or group shame, he will think twice. When a French-Canadian knows that 802 people have been recognized by the Royal Swedish Academy for their contribution to humanity, but not one of them has been French-Canadian, maybe he will think twice before throwing stones.
Or when they realize that they take the North American prizes for illiteracy and drop-out rates, they will think twice before so freely insulting other people. Or that French-Canadians, in terms of their charitable donations are by far, on a per capita basis, the least generous Canadians, they will think twice. Or that 70% of their children, being born out of wedlock are according to the dictionary, “bastards” – the highest rate of bastards in the world – again, they will think twice.
To haters, the only effective response is to hold up a mirror. Now that will end the hate.
Get it, Nicolas?
Reply@Pier-Paule Sansoucy:
First of all, take a look at some historic realities. One of them would be the fact that we stoped being second class citizens, even in Quebec, about 50 years ago. My grandparents could be called “illeterate” because they didn’t have acces to proper education. If you look at demographic stats, you will realize there are an lot of people who grew up when we were still “f**** pea soups” to the english speaking majority. By the way, despite an infinate minority of hardcore separatists, we are pretty good at nod holding a grudge…
Hiding your despise for French-Canadians behind selected statistics is pretty lame. It’s as lame as if I would use bilinguism statistics and then say Canada is not open to other cultures compare to Quebec.
I’m not a separatist. But if we are selfish, illiterates, bastards, and so and so, why the hell did Canadians did their Quebec Love In bullshit before 1995 referendum? You were about to get rid of us. You were so close.
I’m sure you don’t need any mirror to feel your hatered for French-Canadians (that include francophones from Manitoba, Ontario, New-Brunswick,.. or does it only include Quebeckers). You just need to concentrate for 5 seconds.
Reply@Nicolas Archambault:
Eureka, it works. Over 250 words, Nicolas, and not a single insult to another group or tribe. Get it, Ian?
Reply@Pier-Paule Sansoucy:
De tous les prix Nobel nés aux Québec, TOUS sont juifs. Les voici:
Rudolph Marcus, prix Nobel de Chimie, 1992 : né à Montréal; a vécu à Montréal jusqu’après son doctorat ; B.Sc., McGill, Ph.D., McGill;
Sydney Altman, prix Nobel de Chimie, 1989 : né à Montréal; a vécu à Montréal jusqu’à l’entrée à l”université.
Saul Bellow, prix Nobel de Littérature, 1976 : né à Montréal; a vécu à Montréal jusque vers l’âge de 7-8 ans.
Cet article de David Brooks est également fort intéressant :
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/opinion/12brooks.html
Evidemment, tout cela passe 30 km au-dessus de la tête de Turcotte/Lepage.
David Hubbel et Jack Szostack ont vécu une partie de leur vie au Québec, mais ne sont pas nés au Québec.
Reply@Nicolas Archambault:
I think she is trying to tell you that french-canadian culture should have more respect for cultures that, on average, give so much to humanity. And also, more respect, among themselves, for those who succeed.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/opinion/12brooks.html
Reply@Pier-Paule Sansoucy:
Of 802 Nobel prize winners, 153 are jewish and 0 are french-canadians. Jews and frenc-canadians form 0,2 % and 0,1 % off humanity, respectively. There are, so to speak, 77 missing Nobel prizes on the french-canadian side, if they wish to compare themselves to jews.
This is not written to bash anyone but to have a priori respect for anyone coming from a culture that contributes in a proven and serious way to humanity, as shown by Nobel prizes. #1 on the NY Times best seller list is not bad either…
If more people talk about that, maybe TLMEP will address the topic!
Replysalut ian j’pense sérieusement que la discussion dérappe dangereusement ,1 tes pas mordecai richler et 2 les 2 épais de tout le monde en parle ne sont pas des représantants du québecois de 2010, comme l’a déja dit un des plus célébre juif de l’histoire un certain zimmerman et je cite ;the time they are a changing et j’ajouterai simplement ceci :no matter of what your community or mine think of it,peace man
ReplyJ’espère de tout mon coeur que les deux épais de TMEP qui se défendent de leur ignorance et manque de savoir-vivre se feront remettent le nez dans leur merde. Ils ne représentent pas les québécois, (je l’espère en tout cas); en même temps, il semble bien que leur émission fait figure de grand’ messe le dimanche soir; on verra: si Ian parvient à les faire mettre dehors, on aura fait là un grand pas en avant.
Et, Ben, je dois te dire que, Ian, à mon sens, ne se prend pas pour Mordecai Richler; il adopte un personnage, il fait du journalisme qui l’intéresse, (et ça intéresse beaucoup de monde– on ne grimpe pas la liste des best-sellers du NY Times en écrivant n’importe quoi), et il a le droit de le faire. J’m'en calisse s’il porte des lunettes ou des drapeaux: d’ailleurs j’ai vu lu là-dedans une tentative de se faire accepter, comme une salutation, et cela, EN DÉPIT du fait que selon le sondage du Journal de Montréal de 2007 les juifs sont en deuxième place lorsqu’on fait le décompte des victimes du racisme au Québec. Il n’est pas fou, Ian, il sait ce qu’il fait. Quand Céline Dion va chanter à Paris et qu’elle porte le chandail de l’équipe française du soccer, les Français sont bien contents. Mais parce que Ian est anglophone, on l’accuse de faire le clown et d’être condescendant. C’est un préjugé FLAGRANT. J’ai HONTE de vivre dans une province où les gens se disent racistes, comme si leur ressentiment souterrain, qui les habitent tellement que c’est presque aveuglant, comme si ce ressentiment était une assez bonne raison pour dire n’importe quoi à n’importe qui — en autant qu’eux, dans leur désir ignoble de baigner dans leur ancienne victimisation du 17e siècle, se remontent eux-mêmes à leurs yeux.
Je suis d’accord, des excuses de la part de Radio-Can et des deux imbéciles qui animent l’émission représenteraient aussi un grand pas en avant.
ReplyThere was no racism towards someone trying to speak french the best way he could? There was no fun made out of Ian by the way he was dressed? They did make fun of him and some other french web blogs are making fun of him.

ReplyLast sunday, when I did turn on my TV you were there and to be honest, I didn’t know you (sorry) but feel really ashamed when I saw the attack on you. I did change channel right after. Those people like to provoke being arrogant but this time, they did go really too far. Sorry for my bad english, I’m a french “pea soup” according to the rest of some people here.
I went here to see comments but didn’t think it could be again an english-french war… Please GET OVER IT… why always put french-canadian in the same basket… (in this forum anyway … and many often on the web). I’m a quebecer of course and I believe in my culture but I’m able to recognise others and appreciate it because … first of all, I’m a citizen of the World … a human being. And you see clearly, in that forum, why quebecers want to split up twice in the past … we are (just like you were last sunday) always attack by some canadians… I don’t want to generalised here so .. please don’t generalise on french speaking people of Quebec. Who cares wich province come the Nobel prize ? or we could also count the olympic medals… Silly.
I’m so tired of this language war that begans in 1608. My father is tougher than yours… no it’s mine ? childess.

ReplyI think that your presence on TMEP make people talks but it did show the real nature of those guys … arrogant bastards with an simili intellectual attitude. So, don’t worry, most of us didn’t agree with what happen there ?

Salut Avogadro,
ReplyJust as you denote that not all francophones are represented by Lepage/Turcotte, I humbly suggest you too take into account that not all anglos are represented by those denigrating the francophones on this board.
Bonne fin de semaine a toi!
Je désire te dire que j’avais hate de te voir a TLMEP car j’ai lu un de tes livres, celui sur Micheal et j’ai beaucoup aimé. Dimanche soir, j’ai eu honte pour eux et en même temps, je ne suis pas surprise du tout.Ces deux personnes qui anniment le show n’ont aucune culture, aucune sensibilité quand vient le temps de défendre un des leurs car ils sont tres fort en gang…mais tout seul….? Tu n’est pas le premier a qui ils ont déversé leurs vils, je pense souvent a Nelly Arcand qui s’est suicidé et qui avait eu un peur bleu de se présenté a l’émission de TLMEP, on ne lui a pas fait de cadeaux a elle non plus et cela l’avait beaucoup chagriné comme tant d’autres qui y sont allés et ont subi le même traitement…..Je suis très heureuse de voir que tu demande des excuses publiques. Je tiens a te dire que Radio Canada est une télé publique que l’on paie et on est OBLIGÉ D’ENDURER CES IGNORANTS ET RACISTES a l’écran
ReplyIan je tiens a te dire que je suis désolé et continue ton bon travail
Gee, merci Avogadro !!! Et merci Frank !!!
Reply@honorable:
WE DO REPECT ALL CULTURES. It’s so annoying to receive the racist argument every time you disagree with someone from another culture.
The nobel prize thing is a bit strange. The way you and Pier-Paule expressed this point is exclusive (I’m not sure this is the right expression… second language). Sorry, but it is. For me, Jewish people are as Québécois as I am. So when a Jewish citizen of Québec win a Nobel Prize, a Québécois win a Nobel Prize. I’m not starting to think: “is he Catholic, Muslim or Jewish”. When Danny Lafferrière win a litterature prize, I’m not saying; “Yeah, but he’s Haitian”. Are you?
To start with a bad joke from an average comedian who is paid to add pepper to interviews, and then bring this to: “There are, so to speak, 77 missing Nobel prizes on the french-canadian side, if they wish to compare themselves to jews.”… it’s f*** intolerant. Just face it!
ReplyCare to share with with the readers what “Mon p’tit juif” means Nicolas? I would guess that for most of us French-Canadians, it’s the first time we ever heard the word Jew. I can remember my mother calling my brother that well before we started school.
In fact, just the other day at Provigo a little boy tried to sneak a Caramilk onto the counter while the cashier was ringing up the groceries. Guess with which words his mother admonished him. In 2010.
ReplyHonestly, I’m really honest on this one I swear, I don’t know what it means. I’ve heard it, from my grandparents probably. but I must admit I didn’t hear it for a long, long time. Since you heard a lady using a long lost scary expression, lets agree every Franch-Canadian must be antisemite…
By the way, I’ve heard “frog” a couple of times too. Could you explain this expression. Honestly, and it’s not sarcasm, I really don’t understand where it comes from.
ReplyHi again!
I don’t want to call you a liar, but I heard the expression “p’tit juif’ so long ago, I can’t help doubting you heard it just the other day. Sorry…
Reply@Nicolas Archambault:
ReplyAnd what did you do to have been called a p’tit juif by your grandparents a long long time ago, mon p’tit Nicolas. Like when your were a kid perhaps. Duh …
@Nicolas Archambault:
Had you ever heard of Marcus, Altman, Hubbel? Probably not. If they had been pure-laines you would have heard of them. They would have been glorified by Radio-Canada, Nathalie Petrowsky, etc. Good for you if you treat equally all Québécois, but it is not the case of the media.
Think of this: the journaliste Patrick Lagacé does not even know how is Josh Freed, who writes a delightful humoristic column in The Gazette, and who has perhaps written it for the last 30 years! He is a journaliste at La Presse and he does not know that. Talk about “les deux solitudes” still existing.
By the way, mf father was calling me “mon p’tit juif” when I was doing something mischievous. And my fataher was very educated (the non educated would have perhaps said “mon p’tit tabarnak”)!
Replywho is Josh Freed (and not how)
Reply@Pier-Paule Sansoucy:
In my souvenir, my grandmother called me that because I did something bad and cute. Like asking for chocolate or pop or something like that. She was laughing when she used that expression (but I don’t put my head in the ground, I know it’s a weird expresion. She grew up in a village called Callixa-Lavallée, was poor, did not have access to proper education but always worked her ass to provide her many children what they needed. She was over 60 years old at that time (around 20 years ago). She is verry representative of the actual culture you’re so qualified to judge Pier-Paule…
I was called a frog two days ago on a poker chat by a 20-30 year old guy. The guy was American or Canadian. He called me a frog and called a guy named Aziz a terrorist. Fortunatly, I’m not like you. I don’t think American or Canadian culture “lacks the instinct of empathy” because one guy was stupid.
Where does “frog” come from and in what circumstances is it used Pier-Paule? Since you said French-Canadians never experienced racism, it must be nice… Something like “buddy”
Reply@honorable:
Yeah, I don’t know who Marcus, Altman and Hubbe are since I’m an ignorant self-centered Québécois like all the other ignorant self-centered Québécois.
And since when medias are representative of the population? Do you judge Americans on what you see on CNN?
Reply@Nicolas Archambault:
Les médias francophones sont très centrés sur eux-mêmes. C’est pourquoi certains de leurs journalistes ignorent qui est Josh Freed. C’est pourquoi ils ne s’inréressent pas à Marcus, Altman ou Hubbel, alors que si ceux-ci se nommaient Cloutier, Pichette et Drouin. les médias francophones s’y auraient intéressés 10 fois plus. C’est un problème commun aux médias de plusieurs pays, mais ce n’est pas une raison pour ne pas le dénoncer.
Turcotte me semble être le type à dire d’un autre “mon pt’it juif”, tout en trouvant cela bien rigolo.

ReplyJews were not persecuted in India and China. They have not been much persecuted by the Persians either, who actually liberated Jews (see Darius and Cyrus). Jewish persecutions are mainly the result of christian antisemitism and second class treatment of christians and jews by muslims.

Toi aussi tu peux devenir un “élu de Dieu”. Le Talmud dit que la Torah a été offerte à tous. Seuls les Juifs l’ont acceptée. Ton concept d’”èlu de Dieu” est à réviser. On CHOISIT d’être ou non élu. Et cette élection est une élection de SERVICE. Pas une élection de privilèges.
Les chrétiens aussi se nomment “élus de Dieu”. Ils se croient el peuple de “la Nouvelle Alliance”, ce qui est assez dénigrant envers les Juifs, qu’ils nomment “peuple de l’Ancienne Alliance”. Les Juifs ne dénigrent personne, sauf le idolâtres et les sacrificateurs d’enfants, qui ne courent guère les rues de nos jours.
Par contre, la théologie chrétienne a dénigré les Juifs pendant plus de 1500 ans. Turcotte/Lepage ne s’en sont sans doute pas remis, même s’il n’en sont pas conscients.
