- Wacky separatist grievance #24,632,246/B
-
A Quebec sovereignty group wants Prince Charles to apologize for the cultural genocide of francophones in North America.
In an open letter to the prince, which was released to the media and published on the group's website, the Montreal chapter of the Société St-Jean Baptiste says the heir to the British throne will only be welcome in Quebec during his Canadian tour if he atones for the alleged sins by the British after their conquest of North America.
The laundry list of grievances includes the deportation of the Acadiens in 1755, the establishment of an English-language majority in Canada with the Act of Union in 1840, and the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982 without Quebec's consent.
I could be mistaken, but doesn't apologizing for "the establishment of an English-language majority in Canada" mean apologizing for the existence of the country?
"Hello, I'm Prince Charles, and I'm here to visit Canada. But first I want to express how sorry I am that you even exist."
