The sale of Hydro AbitibiBowater, the final assault! ...

Hydro AbitibiBowater, the renewed threat
past few days, we have taken to the operating state of ambiguity with respect to AbitibiBowater plant hydro-electric power which it has custody of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean under a lease to use supposed to be give and take, that is to say prosperity for the people and prosperity for the company (see about it texts journalists and Bertrand Tremblay Louis Tremblay, published in "The Daily" on 21 and 24 January 2011).
last week stirred up by a "accounting maneuver worrying AbitibiBowater" , labor leaders sounded the alarm. Then came the turn of MP Jean-Pierre Blackburn followed again by the MP and PQ leader Pauline Marois, make capers before the cameras of the Saguenay.
When union leaders scream "danger danger" and show their teeth against the face of the corpse of what has become AbitibiBowater industry, I tell myself it's never too late to understand and act in the right direction! When an MP, which is not considered the bravest and the smartest of our MPs in Ottawa (that's the least we can say!), Finally dares to open his mouth to describe the operation of the multinational banqueroutière of ... "decision pernicious" and he amount the provincial government to put her panties, then I tell myself that this minister does not pretend to be good for nothing and federal elections are certainly not far into the agenda of his party. And when Pauline Marois, passing through St. Ambrose , "advocates firmness "towards multinational it calls for" profits " producing region, I can not help but think she should have done, the Marchioness, when she was the lady of strong party power to the Parliament of Quebec, next to Marc-Andre Bedard, Lucien Bouchard and Jacques Brassard, three son Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean.
Easier said than done when you make faces at Ottawa (who does not own the natural resources of the provinces) and one seat in the hood as opposed to the chair of chief minister of Quebec! For if There was a time for Ms. Marois to undertake the decentralization of powers to Quebec versus the regions, it was when there was a strong woman of the Government and that nothing was being denied ...
The sale of the last family jewels and the end of the paper industry in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean
For those (and those, of course!) Who have short memories, I remind them that this is not the first time that the holder of the rights associated with the defunct hydroelectric Price Company (eaten and digested by the current AbitibiBowater), attempts sell the last family jewels (which are the central rivers Chicoutimi, Sand and Shipshaw) to wash once and for all, his last duty to the people of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean that she has already sucked to the marrow. Indeed, from 1985 to 1994, regional governments must remember that they had to wage war with swords drawn to force it to abandon its plan to sell a property that, in fact, does not belong because it really belongs to this people in rags who never stops being stripped of his rights, his property and his rags. On March 16, 1991, in an editorial published in The Daily, "the journalist Bertrand Tremblay, in words very polite (too polite for my taste!), Displayed the danger we face in broad daylight and then called the region "raises serious questions about the consequences of the possible loss of comparative advantage that represents the hydro system for Abitibi-Price. "
Business is business, two years later, in 1993, the multinational returning to the charge, I had personally taken up the torch to warn people of potential return of the threat. In a very incisive text published in the journal "Economic activity" of frévrier January 1994 (titrated "The sale of the Hydro-Price is a flight manifest"), I concluded: "Because the profitability and productivity of plants and Alma Kénogami-so jobs that are attached, are inseparable from the hydro- Electric, the sale of one or the other appears unthinkable. The result is easily predictable! Hydro-Price sold, Abitibi-Price would have the freedom to abandon the subsequent exploitation of its outdated facilities, we repeat, are no longer viable since the late eighties. "
Again, history will have given me too quickly Because in this sordid affair. Far from being diminished, the threat of the sale of the network that moves a lot of people these days in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, prepares the permanent closure of paper mills and Alma Kénogami last components of what was still, here just two decades, the flagship of the forestry industry in Quebec or in Canada if not North America as a whole. Admit that for a regionalist my quench for a quarter of a century, sees dying slowly close his country the benefit of a gang of strangers boursificoteurs, it is worrisome for the rest of the world and things that concern us
own ... In the wise, hello!

That said there is little
"said this" is technically correct and acknowledged by all the dictionaries: it is not a fault but a lexical or grammatical error of taste. To please the connoisseurs of the French language, try to replace these expressions with their meaning in your sentence:
it says = that was said, that being said
= this is about to be told it
see that what everyone wants to say is "it said," (which makes sense anaphoric, which incorporates the previous sentences) and not having said (that has meaning cataphoric, announcing the next sentence).
in summary: " That said "is a binding element in your speech and" that said "is a cumbersome expression which delays the arrival of your sentence. It's like using a hammer to fix a screw: it works but the result is ugly and you go for a barbarian in the eyes of DIY ...

With the death of Marcel Trudel is a bit mind off of the eighteenth century ...
"Neither Cardinal nor Prime Minister" , but beautifully human
Like everyone else in Quebec, I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of historian Marcel Trudel, which occurred on January 11. Born near Trois-Rivières May 29, 1917, in the hot days of the Great War, he entered his 93ième year. Quebec lost one of its richest feathers, but history our portion of humanity earns a thought that will not die. With him is a little off that spirit of the eighteenth ...
Mr. Trudel was a friend. I had just talked on the phone a few days before Christmas. I then thanked him for having so kindly sent his last literary committee ( "Myths and Realities in the history of Quebec , Volume 5), freshly autographed his trembling hand, he who had almost lost his sight. This little book without artifice or frills, is a fallen curtain that nothing mars the eloquence of the work of the author to whom Time was running out. History as a researcher, writer and teacher, he has been a model of tenacity, intelligence and kindness well contained exquisite. In our verbal and letter writers who have drawn on the past quarter century, the soul of the teacher was never far behind that of the historian. It was a rare availability and princely generosity. It made me double honor to preface my "Saguenay Fur" (1989), and write the dedication that ennobles the cover of my "Fragments of Memory" (2009).
"I was neither Cardinal, nor Prime Minister, or member, not even alderman, he writes at the outset in his wonderful memoirs; I spent my career in teaching and research, far from the main street . It is the art of saying everything in a single sentence, a little known corner of his literary personality. His own conception of history, coupled with the challenge of excellence that has continued to launch its students, also sets it apart from its peers in Quebec. She is alone in praise of freedom of thought that has professed throughout his life:
"A historian should extend the possible field of culture. [...] For the history, everything is food, including works of literature and art, all necessary to understand an era. Indeed one of the primary qualities of the historian is the sensitivity, without which one remains a manipulator of statistics and graphs. [...] And we must know how to express this sensibility by writing a vividly and with clarity. I kept telling my students read, read, and not only of history, Take Voltaire, Anatole France or any writer who gives the devil in your pen. "(Memoirs of another century, 1987, p. 199)
A precursor to the Quiet Revolution in Quebec
This thought of mine who joined already proclaimed that the good schoolmaster is first he who teaches his students to free themselves from the mind of the master. While reading his Memoirs of another century " the rest I decided to write my Memoirs of a Rock Shooter" , a way for me to some pictures of the society in which I evolved. I liked his writing style and his way of telling the past behind which he was never far away. Voltaire has happened in my life that in the meantime. The rest is Marcel Trudel who was introduced to me in a different light than that revealed by Groulx et al. Knowing that I loved the free spirit of this little devil skinny and enjoying my fighting spirit, Trudel offered me the two volumes of his youth spent writing "The Influence of Voltaire in Canada." It was a discovery!
to Rebel his way, he published this work in 1945, while Quebec still crashed in the politico-religious dictates of the time. The case is noteworthy in this praise. That was three years before the release of famous "Manifesto of the Total Refusal" which is presented today as the beginning of the Quiet Revolution in Quebec. When it has caused the phone, he had almost apologized for it being rather tiptoe without skinning the higher clergy who had total control over when Laval University, a senior clergy who Inquisitor waiting for a misstep from him to crush.
Already at this time, Trudel was ahead of his time in this regard, we must take time to remember that all books of Voltaire, like the rest of the Encyclopédie were still confined in the section called bookish ... "Hell," which were placed in sealed shelves within educational institutions. All seminars and Quebec had a "Hell", a forbidden place that did not hesitate to attend, obviously for so little, the clerical elite!
...
caustic vision of the British conquest
In his view, the English conquest, although disturbing and deplorable for the conquered people, had not only produced inconvenience, the decapitation of the French Canadian bourgeoisie, wrote he was not, as it was taught, with the arrival of new masters but to the collapse of the fur trade. Many of his peers-the priests identified in the School of Montreal obviously did not like and their zealots have mounted this story hairpin, although the facts cruelly gave him reason. We understand why
Trudel-we 're quite wrongly accused being the master of the School of Quebec (sic) - was not entirely comfortable in the ideological corset universities of Quebec have always had tend to submit ideas rather than releasing them. This corporatist tendency against which he has stood out, marked all his work. For proof, just read the rich text that has spent ... "Advantages" of the Conquest of 1760 in the first volume of "Myths and Realities of History Quebec " (2001, pp. 209-234). Vapid and confused minds beware!
Marcel Trudel was a free thinker and, as such, it now feeds Quebec historiography of originality, strength and sincerity of his thought. For a very long time, he had nothing more to prove. He enjoyed just write about what he had learned hard and he scraped the paper with his pen until his death. He spoke about the history of the most beautiful manner and with the finest minds in the world. His work is imperishable. It was unique and, as such, it will not be replaced. Thanks to him Champlain and New France that remains a work in progress, have a memorial for eternity.
