Martin Patriquin, Quebec-basher par excellence

Cet abruti commence à faire royalement ch**.

Il crache son vômi dans le Maclens et autres torchons ROCiens. C'est lui qui a pondu en parti cette insignifiance truffée de statistiques bidons négatives sur le Québec appelée Le deadbeat.

Quand on a rien à dire sur le Québec, on fouille les coins et les recoins pour en trouver. J'ai reproduit ici une connerie parue dans le MacLean's du 26 mars:

Resumé being ignored? Try name change

By Martin Patriquin
MacLean’s, March 26, 2007-03-21

Kamal El Batal wanted to work for Quebec ’s agricultural co-operative so badly that he sent in his resumé 19 times, to no avail. But his sociological “experiment” into the why he was turned down netted him $15,000 from Quebec ’s human rights tribunal, and became yet another example of Quebec ’s battle over “reasonable accommodation” of immigrants.

El Batal considers himself as Québécois as the next guy – he’s even a PQ candidate in the coming provincial election. Nevertheless, the trained agronomist got nowhere with the Montreal-based association, despite two degrees and nearly 20 years experience. So on his 20th application, he changed his name to “Marc Tremblay” and expunged the bit about his fluency in Arabic. Result: he got a call in a matter of days, during which the recruiter complimented him on his qualifications. The co-op blamed a clerical error. The tribunal called it discrimination, and ordered the co-op – the province’s eighth-largest employer – to pay $15,000 in “moral damages (and) lost chances”.

“You can’t say that Quebec society is racist” says the Moroccan-born El Batal. The problem, he says, lies with “the deciders in management positions in the public sector, which is a desert of white faces, and where, unfortunately, there are individuals with certain views.”

El Batal announced his victory on the heels of another troubling decision, this one from Montreal ’s police ethics board, that two of its officers disgraced themselves by pulling their guns on two black men in the swanky suburb of Dollards-des-Ormeaux. The officers mistook them for thieves, when in fact they were helping clean out a garage. When one of the men complained that this was a police state, officer Isabelle Nault replied, “If you don’t like it here…why don’t you go back to your country?”

As it happens, the 4,285 members of Montreal ’s police force will soon undergo sensitivity training during which they will learn the difference between “racial profiling” and “criminal profiling”. The program will be paid for in part by a Canadian Heritage grant.

Delenda why you being such a hater? So much anger, so much rage, calm down padawan – a few deep breaths would help your blood pressure….

Without having anything to back up my statements, the “name issue” is relevant in more places than just Quebec. Did you know for example that if you write out your full name you are more likely to get a call back than if omit your middle name?

So yes perhaps the article is unfair in so far as it “targets” Quebec, however the human rights ruling was made in Quebec…therefore logic follows that the article would focus there…

Hate doesn't attract love...

This redneck sure went out of his way to try to find something bad to report on Quebec.

Ça me fait penser à cette tactique à un moment donné de journalistes ROCiens qui essayaient de trouver des chauffeurs de taxi immigrants qui avaient eu une mauvaise expérience avec un 'pure laine' pour ensuite mettre ça en gros plan afin de justifier que le Québec est une société raciste.
