--- Care should be taken when discussing concepts such as ethnic cleansing. The choice of words here is demagogical.
--- Hello, original author here. I first decided to move the page to an address reflecting the proper spelling (and I do apologize for it), as linked from the Raymond Villeneuve page. I did not add the portion as to "ethnic cleansing", but I did move the comment just above so the discussion can continue here, not on the Wiki page. I might not agree with many of the MLNQ ideals, but I do believe the words "ethnic cleansing" are too strong. It must certainly be possible for the person who added that portion to find better wording which still describes the hardliner approach the MLNQ stands for without pointing fingers so much. Otherwise, someone else (perhaps me) will find it for him/her. That is all for now.
--- Original author again. OK, so I went ahead and changed the page myself after reading the article mentioned in it. The added quote will, I believe, allow the reader to get an idea of the context and the MLNQ ideologies, without being accusatory.

[edit] Link does not lead us to find the quote
Here is the link to Raymond Villeneuve's editorial:
http://www.mlnq.net/mdupre/mdup041/mdup041.htm
There is a reason why he is called an extremist...
Nevertheless, reading the full editorial we see that the man is arguing, very badly, against what he calls the "greatest cultural genocide of contemporary times", the one against the francophones of Canada. He is so wrong on so many levels, but he is right on the assimilation of francophones and the failure of Quebec's language policy to bring the majority of linguistic transferts towards French instead of English.
His "us and them" attitude makes him the equal of those he pretends to denounce.

[edit] Description of the MLNQ's ideology is not neutral
Reading the other editorials by Villeneuve, we can see that the quote is not really representative of his overall ideology. I don't think we ought to avoid mentionning his radical views and his intolerance, but to respect the NPOV rule, we ought to mention his other "editorials" against imperialism, colonialism, capitalist globalisation, linguistic and cultural unification etc. -- Mathieugp 14:58, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Please, by all means if you know more about Villeneuve's other editorials and ideals, feel free to add to the description. Arasaka 01:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] strugle or struggle?
In the first paragraph: "intends to favour a revolutionary strugle to free the people" I wouldn't dare correct it myself. By the way, it's kind of funny reading the articles about Quebec secession in both English and French as the tone varies A WHOLE LOT between them! Talam
- You were right, it's "struggle". I wonder what the French MLNQ page says... I'll go have a look. Arasaka
[edit] Child pornography? Seems like vandalism
What's with all that child pornography nonsense? It seems like vandalism to me. Plus, there are absolutely no reference. Added on Jan 22: I deleted the clearly vandalized parts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pierreboro (talk • contribs) 17:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
