Talk:Eaton's/Archives/2015

Rubbing the toe

The section about the statue is a bit unclear on this. I know of the tradition with regards to the Toronto statue, but does it also apply to the Winnipeg statue? If it does, then no edit is needed, but if it's just the Toronto one then that should be specified. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 17:57, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Absolute fucking bull shit

Do you know that if applied your (in this situation self serving) standards for evidential veracity to wikipedia in toto you'd have to throw 80% of the crap that is on this site into the virtual trash bin.

Jesus and Mother Maria, anybody who lived in Quebec from the the 1970's to the 90's knows that Eaton was at the centre of the cultural storm that swirled around language in the province. Hell, its the store Claude Charron chose to steal a coat from for his sad (but understabable) political suicide. Oh, do I need a citation for that?

There is no point having a discussion with you, or talking about your requested changes, if you cannot behave like a grown-up. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:10, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Anyone familiar with this anonymous editor's history (see my Talk page...or the Talk pages of Ben's deli, Montreal Olympic Stadium or better yet, 70.xx.xx.xx's Talk page) will understand this is NOT a person here to contribute to Wikipedia. He is here to simply bully, harass and drive out any editors who do not follow his bigoted nationalist Quebec views. He'll even go as far as vandalizing other editors Talk pages and creating fraudulent accounts (i.e. "apple2gss") with the intent of harming their reputation and validity. If you have a moment, please read through those 'Talk' page links I've added for a better understanding of the damage this person has done over for the past several years. And with no sight in end.

With regards to the "Eaton's in Quebec" section at question, if you look back at this page's history, years ago I rewrote most of that entry to tone it down and remove all the biased political spew and non-factual drivel, even adding in some interesting facts with regards to the store's history in Quebec, but as usual, he erased it all by reverting back to the original version. Of course there is no point in dragging this out further, he is not interested in having a tactful or reasonable discussion, he just wants to stir things up and cause mischief. Just like most Quebec separatists, he thrives in division, hate and intolerance and functions only as a detriment to others. --Apple2gs (talk) 22:47, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

The assertion being made was not just a general claim that Eaton's was "at the centre of the cultural storm that swirled around language in the province" — and nobody's denied that fact at all anyway. Rather, the assertion was specifically that Bill 101 directly obliged the chain to drop the apostrophe from its name, and that assertion has not been properly sourced. Other than that, all I have to say is to ditto Skeezix above: act like an adult or go away. Bearcat (talk) 22:49, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
