'When somebody serves me in English, I refuse to buy' | The Corner Booth

Denis Coderre joins Aaron Rand and Bill Brownstein on The Corner Booth at the Snowdon Deli.

[@lambertois11]

When asked by a journalist from the Gazette about the special bonuses given to the Police management to boost ticket distribution, Coderre categorically denied the existence of such bonuses"! After the 2017 election, the new Montréal mayor, Valerie Plante announced publicly that she is cancelling the these special bonuses !

@@lambertois11 You really think that Poilievre or Trump are an improvement? I love the great values of the best PQ governament that always had at heart the well being of all and they were not corrupt like the liberal who were mostly the party of the elite in the last 30 years. The Revolution Tranquille was GREAT and you should learn how GREAT was Parizeau achievement despite the anglo canadian banker who never wanted to give him any loan so he had to get the $300 millions from NY in 1963.. But you are too uneducated to understand that Quebec has still the best social net in all America and it's one of the safest province in Canada and the one that treated it's minority the best. 1840: The Act of Union is adopted. Section 41 of the Act bans the French language from Parliament and Courts of the new united Province of Canada. Premier Kathleen Wynne apologized in the Legislative Assembly on behalf of the Government of Ontario for a 1912 regulation that effectively outlawed public French-language education for more than a decade..

Coderre was the wandering Montréal mayor. Always travelling abroad, all expenses paid by the Montréal taxpayers!

[@lambertois11]

Coderre made a public speech claiming a huge success of the City of Montréal 2017 EV race! But Coderre did not mentionned the $2 million deficit and that only 5000 tickets were sold, the other 35,000 were given to fill up the seats!

[@kallyfest]

'' i guess we will have the CAQ for another 5 years. '' I think you should look at the polls again more often, the CAQ is in the cellar, a little bit higher than Liberal party , the PQ is 18 points ahead of the CAQ, yes, the party you thought was dead will regain power in two years with a promise of referendum.

Like Legault he's just an opportunist.

[@pietro_bcc]

Why do people like this guy again? He's blathering incoherently, constantly making random references to history that don't connect to what he's talking about. Also in terms of policy how is he different from Legault? Pro 21, pro 96, pro tuition hikes, pro notwithstanding clause.

[@dextrosebizarre]

Nobody like him. He lost as mayor to unknown Plante who s from Abitibi-Temiscamingue. Every francophone makes fun of him. He s Alfonso Gagliano low level.

[@repulsewarriorx8825]

I ask, seeing Mr. Coderre, where/when is Mr. Charest? ...more and more i miss Mdme. Anglade. As an Administrator, i bet she can do better (could have done better) than either, and politically she had new ideas. Her proposal to have regional representation (chosen by the MNAs of the region, one adjunct from each) within her Office directly would have been in my mind a great advancement in our own understanding of our distinctions as regions and as Quebecers having distinct needs. ...great podcast! Thanks.

[@michelduchesneboulianne9213]

How come federalists bear the tag but never propose to sign the constitution? Why is the status quo deemed alright? Is this what being federalist is? Being satisfied with the province's signature absent from very document that defines the federation? It's not any law, it's the most important. Shouldn't being a federalist politician come with the responsibility to propose to either reform the Canadian's constitution or to sign it as it is? And why does any of them are doing that?

Pourquoi y a pas des sous-titres en français pour une entrevue avec le vieux maire de Montréal et quelqu'un qui veut être le prochain premier ministre du Québec? I'm not from Quebec, but I'm a francophone from Louisiana and know a bit about Quebec politics. I especially feel, though, that considering he was the mayor of Montreal and wants to run for PM, this is an important interview for the people of Quebec to hear. Et pis la majorité de la province parle français. There's no excuse to not have this video subtitled in French.

[@bengt_axle]

C'est parce que sur le site KZbin, les sous-titres peuvent être présentés en choisisant la langue à partir des options (voir icône CC, et options). J'ai essayé, et la fonction sous-titre en français est fonctionnelle.

Bravo M. Coderre pour refuser d'acheter si on ne parle pas français. Je fais cela et tout le monde devrait le faire. Quant à la politique, nous avons le parti québécois qui est de loin le plus efficace, laissons le parti libéral à ceux qui ne croient pas en notre peuple.

Is it possible for Denis to change his proverbial stripes? Well, from experiencing a corrupt and turmoil-filled time where Coderre was mayor of Montréal, I am disheartened by the news that he may or he is running for the leadership of Québec's Liberal Party. At a time where we, both the French and the English speaking Québécois(e), need a leader and party which do not commit nor enable human rights violations as like the CAQ and the PQ, Denis may not be what is best to serve our diverse populace. I hope for change, yet I am preparing for a future in Québec where many hard fought for rights and freedoms are discarded by harmful, divisive, and self-serving politicians, e.g., Legault, Plamondon, etc...

Denis isn't the greatest at building up to a statement. He seems to have it all figured out in his head, but doesn't provide the foundation of his understandably divisive remark. I may be wrong, but here's how I interpreted what he said: Stop blaming everyone else for the state of the French language. If you respond in English, business owners will continue hiring unilingual anglophones. It starts with you; buy from businesses that serve you in French. Before people start attacking me, I'm not saying if I agree or not. I'm only sharing how I interpreted the statement after having listened to the entire episode.

[@Darkdragon5544]

I also refuse to buy when I'm served in English

[@joannewilson6577]

Because he is right!

[@PotatoToon]

Crazy that this guy wants to be a leader to a party that is basically just a simp for the federal government and yet is so protective of the french language and against Quebec sovereignty. Make it sense. He's lucky that he is old enough to have seen Cleopatra, because he will not be alive when Quebec will become just another anglophone province.
