No point of watching this, i watch when sleeping so i cant read subtitles

I just found this channel and I'm loving it...thanks for the uploads

Hey. What's wrong with a French documentary once in awhile ??? The story is about French Québec. If you're not happy, watch The Waltons reruns.

[@arman2129]

@@dixietrepanier4701 this channel is for English speakers, they should have dubbed into English not putting subtitle on it. most of the people can't be able reading the whole subtitles

[@dixietrepanier4701]

@@arman2129 if you had to sit through a French movie that is translated into English or vice-versa, you wouldn't say that. I am fluent in English and French. Movies are extremely poorly translated. Subtitles are much better. Also, in the case of this documentary, the FLQ were extremely anti-English. Wouldn't make sense to have it in English.

[@arman2129]

@@dixietrepanier4701 i'm wondering if this film was Anti-English then why youtube allowed it to be shown? such contents must be banned throughout the Net. by the way I think your point of view is close to the main character of this document

[@dixietrepanier4701]

@@arman2129 no absolutely not. KZbinrs have to know what went on with the FLQ in Québec in the 60's and 70's. They were terrorists, radicals and they murdered the Minister of Labor. A horrible group. I am not anything like them ! Geeze !!!

Well, for once, being from Québec and speaking French is a big asset when it comes to this video. 😅 I think they should translate and dub it instead of having subtitles... It would make it more accessible. I don't understand why I haven't seen this before though. I had family that were somewhat involved with the FLQ in the 70s. Crazy stories, crazy times. Thanks for the upload!

Thank you so much for this documentary. As a millenial Quebecker, it is part of my province's history. It was such a decisive time, there was a revolution. I wasn't born yet, it's so interesting to really see how life was in Montreal back then.

As a Canadian born and raised in Ontario I love Quebec and it's unique culture. No other part of Canada is quite like it. Montreal is one of my favorite cities to visit and Canada wouldn't be the same without La Belle Province.

Je déteste que Jacques justifie ses actions en disant que c'est de la faute des authorités si tout ça est arrivé. "Oui mais ci, oui mais ça", il dit assumer ses actes, mais en même temps il tente de dévier le blâme.

@@dmctztv3842 Je vais pleurer le geste en criss! Je cite René Lévesque: «Ceux qui, froidement et délibérément, ont exécuté M. Laporte, après l'avoir vu vivre et espérer pendant tant de jours, sont des êtres inhumains. Ils ont importé ici, dans une société qui ne le justifie absolument pas, un fanatisme glacial et des méthodes de chantage à l'assassinat qui sont celles d'une jungle sans issue.[...] S'ils ont vraiment cru avoir une cause, ils l'ont tuée en même temps que Pierre Laporte , et en se déshonorant ainsi, ils nous ont tous plus ou moins éclaboussés.»

Its nice not needing subtitles once in a while

[@lindaturcotte1753]

Glorifying a murderer as if he were some sort of hero is craven. Rose kidnapping and murdering an unarmed human being was an act of cowardice. There are always better ways. Rose chose the way of a murderous criminal.

What an incredible journey for democracy. Paul Rose and his family gave up soo many of their years to fight corruption in colonialism. His mother was such an incredible woman encouraging her children while in the midst of poverty. She realised the importance of education to get a voice out there and make a difference for not only her own family but every family suffering at the hands of tyranny. Thank you for sharing. X

[@dixietrepanier4701]

Cannot agree. I live in Québec. Paul Rose created evil havoc. He was a dangerous criminal. He should never be made out to be a hero. Keep that for the movies. This man was bad, bad, bad.

[@black_sheep_nation]

Michigan?🥴

[@brendanj383]

I'd say that this would be a great time for us Canadians to grow a pair and fight back against tyrannical government and start a revolution! People back then actually fought for their freedoms etc. Quebec now??? They're about to make it "ILLEGAL" for someone to go to a dispensary or liquor store if you don't comply with their tyrannical extortion!

[@dixietrepanier4701]

Fighting for their freedom included kidnapping and murder. The Québec government is trying to apply pressure to the non- vax's. It's not Premier Legault's fault that we have covid.

Never ever allow the French language to die off in Québec....once the Anglo Saxon controls and proceeds to destroy it there is no way back.As an Irishman that's ultimately how they destroyed the Gaelic/Irish race, destruction of language and culture is irreparable,unlike society and government. God bless Paul Rose, Republican Ireland has nothing but respect for you

@@yeetnama9094 Although the UN and EU have an obvious social agenda to disrupt well established culture's.... don't let that lead you down the road to fascism and racism...

[@dixietrepanier4701]

I agree that the French language should never die here in Québec. However I think asking God to bless Paul Rose is nonsense. He was radical and instilled fear in this beautiful province. His name gives me the shivers.

[@SuperStrik9]

French and English are equal languages in Canada ever since the Official Languages Act was passed in 1969. There's no danger of the French language dying off. They are both the official languages of Canada having preferred status in law above all other languages.
