2010: Quebec: The most corrupt province

Today: MONTREAL - Quebec's anti-corruption unit, UPAC, carried out the biggest raids in its history Thursday, arresting 37 people including Gilles Vaillancourt, the former mayor of suburban Laval, QC.

The mayors of very large cities are habitually arrested in other jurisdictions, are they not? You mean they're not?

Nah - Nova Scotia is the most corrupt province. They just don't get caught.

Well, that's jolly rich when everyone who's paid much attention knows that the largest criminal organization in Quebec is the Parti quebecois, political wing of the Front de liberation du Quebec and biggest organizers of sedition and corruption.

The failure of the Equality Party is proof enough that Lower Canadian Protestants and Jews who work for a living, are loyal to the Queen of Lower Canada and wish to serve the Queen and her loyal subjects as opposed to lining their own and their cronies' pockets with money extorted from les maudits Juifs and les maudits Anglais do not stand a chance in Quebec politics. Anything resembling a systematic rooting out of corruption in Quebec politics would result in all but a few French Canadian politicians retiring to federal or provincial prisons. The PQ are mostly interested in mopping up political opponents from still mostly Liberal Laval who might cause them trouble in the future. The corruption charges may even be true, but they're just an excuse for score settling between feuding gangs of French thugs.

Give me a call when Pauline and the rest of her shower are being hauled off, manacles on hands and feet, to death row for high treason and loyal Canadians in the rest of the Dominion are being sent cheques for tens of thousands of dollars as compensation for the money stolen from us.

Yup, Mcleans has been right about a lot of things, like when they said North Central was the most dangerous neighborhood in Canada. Mayor Pat and the rest of Regina cried foul and said it wasnt that bad, but if North Central was anything to be proud of they wouldnt have changed its name to Heritage.

Well I don't know about Quebec being the most corrupt province any more - Daltoon McChimpy (premier want-ad) has worked tirelessly to steal that distinction from the Mount Royal syndicate. The green energy/power plant cancellation/orange copter/e-health/lotto fraud/Caledonia land grab scandals far outstrip any scandal out of Quebec in the past decade.

I wonder if it has to do with Quebec being the only province living under the Napoleonic Civil Code?

I was born and raised in Montreal. Utter corruption was simply a fact of life. The most famous quote concerning the issue was from former mayor Camille Houde who said "Sure we stole, but we never stole more than what we needed". And few people in Montreal blinked. It took 20 years for someone to realize that the 25 cent toll given by that something like 100,000 cars passed over daily never made its way into the bank account...there WAS no bank account.

Elections in Montreal were characterized by what were called goon squads whose purpose was to visit the rival candidates' campaign offices and trash the place. It was so common that no-one blinked when it happened. Every once in a while two goon squads converged on the same location at the same time...hilarity and mayhem ensued.

Having left Quebec, thankfully, at 18, I realize that Quebec is definitely a distinct society. They seeem to tolerate crap that none of us would ever accept. They will never fit into our notion of a country. The sooner they leave, and are left to starve in economic failure, the better off the rest of us will be.

"...I wonder if it has to do with Quebec being the only province living under the Napoleonic Civil Code? "

More likely the result of centuries of oppression, suppression, slavery, and cultural genocide at the hands of British Imperialists.

How's that for revisionism? Good enough for a teaching job at the local CGEP...or perhaps writing script for SRC?

To clarify...the tolls I mentioned were in connection with the Champlain bridge

Bruce, I agree. In a better ordered world the French Canadians would be being marched in their hundreds of thousands onto cruise ships, standing room only, and sent sailing towards Cuba with the captain under orders not to turn back on pain of being torpedoed and sent to the bottom of the Atlantic. Fidel Castro, godfather to the Young Pretender, is welcome to them. He owes the tabarnacos far more than we do for propping up his economy these 55 years. Needless to say, the Cuban people hate them as much as we do.

You would be receiving compensation, with interest, for all the money they stole from your parents and their parents before them, enough, I dare say, to retire a wealthy man to a once more and forever loyal and British Montreal.

It will be a great day when the French Canadians quit or are driven from the dominion, never to return. May God curse us all to the tenth generation if they're suffered to take an acre of British soil with them.

Dick, you're rambling again. Ssshh...

Perhaps giving the (handful of) Quebeckers a taste of their own country might be the thing to snap them out of their moral and political laziness. How long are they willing to cough up bribes just to get any service at all?

And everybody is missing the worst thing to come out of frogland...turdeau 1 and 2.

Well, this IS a bad day for BC! First our alleged NHL "contenders" are smoked in four straight,and NOW those Eastern bastards are claiming they're the most corrupt Province!

It ain't for lack of tryin' I tell ya.

Send all the Quebecois to New Orleans and the rest of SW Louisiana--Cajun County--they'll feel right at home..

wtf!

quebec can become Haiti du nord

The once-controversial Macleans comments about Quebec corruption are now officially "evidence-based".
