Former “No” activist judge suspends Act 96

Last week, a federal judge of the Superior Court of Quebec suspended certain articles of the new Law 96, which was intended to strengthen Law 101. Chantal Corriveau ruled that provisions requiring legal persons to translate into French the documents they testify in court would “cause irreparable harm”. “For Anglophones.

A “visceral” no

It is interesting to return to this magistrate course. An activist committed to the number in 1995, she announced at the time to have His commitment to Canada was “visceral”. It came from his heart.

For her, sovereignty constituted a “journey of intellectuals”. The desire for independence is based on the fear of disappearing as a nation. We may reject this lofty ambition, but it responds to a real problem. This is not a utopia disconnected from reality, as Corriveau insists.

Anyway. At that time the lawyer was an active participant in the No Camp’s fear campaign. A sovereign Quebec would turn us into a third world country, a danger to our youth. She said she wanted to “secure the future of my two children”. From the moment we were left alone in Quebec without the Feds or the ROC, financial disaster would have ensued. In other words, we are a nation of incompetents!

His speech was exactly in line with what Ottawa had caught trying to instill panic. Paul Martin, the finance minister, predicted that if “Yes” won, there would be a million more unemployed!

It was no coincidence that 10 years later, when he was Prime Minister, Martin appointed her to the Superior Court. Obviously, if she had been a yes activist, she would never have deserved such a promotion. As the former chief justice of the Quebec Court of Appeal, the liberal activist Michel Robert, has said, sovereigns have no place in the judiciary. In a Canadian charter country, those who are supposed to protect our rights are openly promoting some forms of discrimination.

Stop SSJB

Corivo’s decisions on the national issue are part of this logic. In 2000, in response to Ottawa’s Clarity Act, the National Assembly passed a law declaring our right to self-determination. English Canadians immediately challenged the Quebec Act in court. In 2016, SSJB-Montreal requested to intervene in this case to protect our country. However, without any valid reason, Judge Corriveau denied the request. His decision was so tightly bound that it was overturned on appeal!

By suspending today the democratically approved law to protect the French, Chantal Corriveau is continuing the work she was immediately appointed to do. Internally prejudiced, this Quebecer upholds the regime and imposes English upon us.
