Supply management

Hi. Thanks for your praise, and thanks to you too for your edits to Supply management! I appreciate your extensive editing and having a fresh set of eyes look at it, and in a great many places you improved my language, logic, or tone. I did undo or partially undo a handful of changes where I thought it best, but in every case I'm open to change or discussion. Cheers, Oreo Priest ^talk 15:45, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Referendum

My pleasure. I vaguely remembered the incident, but didn't have a source for it until I decided to actually tackle starting an article about Joyce Napier yesterday.

I am admittedly a little concerned that for the moment, it's being presented as sort of an isolated incident, where in reality there were some other significant media relations bungles, on both sides of the campaign, beyond just that one alone — going into a bit more depth about the tactical errors and backtracks on both sides, I think, would help significantly.

You're absolutely right about the decline of the community of interest on the topic, but I'm finding that to be a phenomenon right across the board for Wikipedia as a whole these days — there seem to be far less people around in 2015 than there used to be, and both maintenance and content projects are really suffering for it. (Just as an example, I find that when I initiate an AFD or CFD discussion now, it routinely has to get relisted for another week at least once, and sometimes twice, not because of actual debate or disagreement but for lack of anybody even participating in the discussion at all.) I'm a lot more worried about the longterm viability of Wikipedia now than I used to be, frankly. Bearcat (talk) 19:56, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Agreed Re backtracks, I intend to add quite a few more. Knoper (talk) 20:03, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Congrats on the "Good Article"

I submitted the project to more or less mirror where possible the french version of the article on the "Projet Quebec" page to let people know what is going on. I anticipate the on rush of separatist trash talk and interference almost immediately judging from the fact they monitor my every comment with anonymous adding of harassing comments. Depending on how many paragraphs per topic, I suggest about a month per topic, including translation, amalgamation if more info exists on french version, and discussions. Everything will be done on the french discussion page.

Thanks again and congrats for your excellent and devoted work!!! --Dekk01 (talk) 18:03, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, much appreciated. Anything I can do to help, just ask. Knoper (talk) 18:54, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Knoper

Thank you for your feedback on my "Quebec referendum, 1995" edit. I have just read you user page. I will not be the "Quebec Sovereignist wikipedian" checking your "ideological blind spots"  :) but maybe I will be one of them from time to time. I do not give much time to Wikipedia but I will continue to hang around now and then for years to come - French Wikipedia is such a disaster :( . It is so true that we all have blind spots. I personally think perfect objectivity does not exist and the only way to get closer to it is to listen to different points of view, weigh the best arguments from every sides and then only make up your mind. Humand brain is made of all kind of cognitive biases. If you are against Quebec separation, I will happily let your "ideological blind spots" challenge mine, as comparing arguments is essential (the only way?) to progress.

To You & To Knoper

The Quebec referendums are not about "sovereignty", they are about Communism. This web site specializes in exclusive English translations of non-publicized French-language documents, including the 1972 manifesto of the PARTI QUEBECOIS for a Communist State of Quebec: https://nosnowinmoscow.wordpress.com/ You can download that manifesto in a zip file in the sidebar (see the blue lightning). The zip contains a scan of the original French book, and a PDF of the exclusive English translation, along with photos of the French book on the shelf in the university law library.

The word "sovereignty" is a vague misnomer applied to conceal the real intentions behind the referendums, i.e., restructuring of all of Canada in post-Yes "negotiations". The word sovereignty is vague and deliberately misleading, because it means many things in different situations. The purpose of the Quebec referendums, however, is to [1] hijack the national legislative powers out of the Parliament in Ottawa, combine them with the Provincial legislative powers in the Quebec legislature at Quebec City, and then restructure Quebec on the model of MOSCOW, by devolving these powers into communist-style REGIONS, intended to become future international "multicultural" city-states when Canada and its Provinces are dissolved. This is not "sovereignty" for the French Canadians, it is a device to permanently remove the legislative sovereignty and self-government of the French Canadians as obtained in 1867 under the British North America Act 1867, and hand it over to multicultural expanded municipal entities on the one hand, and to new regional super-bodies on the other hand, the whole under a world government.

[2] The other purpose, and this is the main one, of the 1980 and 1995 referendums is to provide the federal level of Canada with a pretext to in fact "negotiate" the dismantling of Canada on the same model as the Communist model planned for Quebec. This is why Canada has the highest world intake of refugees and mass immigration.... all focused on the cities. At the end of the 1990s, the Ontario government created a mega-city out of Toronto by attaching outlying towns and villages. In 2000, the PARTI QUEBECOIS government created 5 megacities in Quebec, the two most notable being the "Greater Montreal REGION" and the expanded Quebec City REGION. These are basically proto-Soviet international city states, created as money-sucking monoliths as a pretext to have them DEMAND sovereign international powers and financial resources to RUN these new entities.... on the model of Moscow as described by Communist sociologist Morris Zeitlin in a 1975 issue of a journal of the Communist Party of the USA. In 2014, as a matter of FACT confirmable in the news, the mayors of the two megacities of Montreal and Quebec BOTH demanded international status together with powers and fiscal resources to run these REGIONS as international city states. That was Denis Coderre and Regis Lebeaume. That joint demand, widely broadcast in the news, in fact represents the recommended attack upon the Quebec legislature and the Parliament in Ottawa, as devised by Communist and Quebec city lawyer Guy Bertrand the 2014 edition of his French-only book, whose title in English would be "The Liberty-Nation Project" (see: https://nosnowinmoscow.wordpress.com/2015/12/10/communist-guy-bertrands-new-plan-to-smash-quebec-into-communist-regions-part-i/). Bertrand recommended that rather than a referendum on the style of 1980 and 1995, the third (and final) attack on Canada should be done through the megacities. He specifically recommended that both the Montreal and Quebec megacities should attack the Quebec legislature to remove its powers by demanding sovereign powers and fiscal resources for themselves. This would put CONTROL of the dismantling process at a different level than the referendums, which likely have been RIGGED by the way, although to no avail in 1995 because of a last-minute Canada rally in downtown Montreal which swelled the NO vote past the level of rigging they had thought was required to pull it off. It would place the destruction of Quebec and Canada into the hands of the MAYORS of the megacities, leaving nothing to the voters except a potential referendum to rubber-stamp the consequences, thus making it "look" "democratic".

Canada is being restructured for a Communist world-state.... but it is also a ZIONIST project, because in 1982 our lawful Constitution of 1867 and our lawful Parliamentary form of government were both replaced by Pierre Elliott Trudeau (a world-government leftist who led a Communist delegation at Moscow in 1952) and his pals from the Socialist International, i.e., the NDP. The new (illegal) constitution features Talmudic "balancing" or "proportionality" as its core feature at article 1 of the Charter, usually called the "Section 1 guarantee and limitation clause".

In addition, over the past 16-20 years, the French Canadian Code of Civil Procedure has been revised by the ruling PARTI QUEBECOIS and their fellow "LIBERALS" (the Liberals in fact set up the PQ from behind the scenes) to adopt Talmudic "balancing" and "proportionality", which has nothing to do with French Canadian law and culture, but is Zionist in nature.

Therefore, when you speak about Quebec "sovereignists" and the "ideology", the so-called "sovereignists" have no clue what is really going on or how they are being manipulated to dismantle and destroy their own government, and their own rights to self-determination established by Confederation. They have no clue the PQ is communist, and moreover, Communitarian, which is Communist-Zionist. The only way French Canadians can free themselves and prevent the rapidly encroaching loss of their real sovereignty in Confederation, is to wake up and throw out the Communists and the Zionists, and also throw out the phony federal Charter, which is a coup d'état, as admitted in 1982 by one of its chief architects, Jew Barry Lee Strayer, see an OCR of the document here:

https://patriationandlegitimacyofthecanadianconstitution.wordpress.com/

Your edits on issues like these will all depend on whether Wikipedia's role is to regurgitate mere opinions of manipulated "sovereignists" and headlines from the controlled news, or whether it prefers to deal with facts, such as those at the links above.

Kind regards.
