One of Quebec’s finest actors, Curzi once headed the powerful Union des artistes. He was the PQ’s critic for culture, communications and language, before he “separated” from the PQ in 2011. He thinks Bill 101 didn’t go nearly far enough. Curzi felt that it had been attacked 200 times and – oh yes – he LOVES  Bill 14 as is, thank-you very much. Curzi is utterly appalled that the CAQ would even consider tampering with it. But one of his comments really stood out in the interview. He suggested that anglo-Quebecois should demonstrate goodwill by integrating fully and accepting the fact that French is everyone’s common language.

Commission. Take a listen (audio player is directly beneath the photo, on the right) and let me know what YOU think... http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10537402tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10537402Wed, 01 May 2013 17:56:31 GMTThe leader of the NDP and the head of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, Thomas Mulcair is a man who hopes to be measuring the drapes for his move into 24 Sussex Drive by 2015 or sooner. Does he feel Bill 14 is harmful to the English community? Could he bring himself to find one thing that Stephen Harper has does right? And how does he really feel about Peter Mackay? As he answers these questions, you will find that this man is a seasoned politician and an excellent communicator. Check out this interview and tell me if you think he has what it takes to be the next Prime Minister of Canada.  http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10532444tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10532444Wed, 17 Apr 2013 18:07:18 GMTThe Conservatives aren't the only ones fond of attack ads - check out this 2006 classic from the Martin era: CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE and tell us what you think...http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10531585tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10531585Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:05:46 GMTIt was a simple story. This guys orders his girlfriend a $100 bracelet. The package arrives by Fedex. Inside – no bracelet. Instead, she is thrilled when she opens the box to see an engagement ring with a diamond and a matching wedding band! Like Lucy, this guy has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do. How is he going to tell his girlfriend that he has no intention of asking for her hand in marriage and that he didn’t order the rings? On top of all that, the company now wants him to cough up the two grand! Does he owe them the $2,000? You might be surprised by my take on this dilemma. Hint: Very few people agreed with what I had to say on the subject. Check it out and tell me what YOU think.  http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10526497tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10526497Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:42:35 GMTWhen the powers that be tell you that cutbacks will not have an impact on patient care, they are lying through their teeth. If you don't believe me, just listen to what these two wonderful and caring physicians have to say about what is REALLY really going on. Is there anything that can be done? These two doctors think so - check out what they have to say.http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10519783tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10519783Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:49:12 GMTWhen she went to bed there were maybe 40 views... and when she woke up, there were over SIX THOUSAND. That was a couple of days ago... this morning, as of 7:39am, the official count was 9175. Lindsay Place High School teacher Catherine Hogan was feeling frustrated by the anti-bullying videos she was seeing, in which students would express feelings of how no one cared or wanted to listen to them. So she made a video of her own (CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE THE VIDEO) - and believe, me, it's moving... here's the description: Too many teenagers try to face their problems on their own. They feel alone and that no one understands them. Teachers are there to help, teachers are there to listen. People often forget that teachers are not just passionate about their subject, they are passionate about their students. I'll speak her today - listen, and let ...http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10494956tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10494956Fri, 25 Jan 2013 13:00:26 GMTAbout a year ago Senator Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu said every murderer should have a rope in his cell so he can decide on his own life. The opposition went berserk. NDP MP Pat Martin opted for his trademark use of obscenities to describe people who disagree with him. Nycole Turmel, who at the time was interim leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, pointed out that it is illegal to counsel someone to commit suicide. True enough, but while we worry about the murderers, we have all manner of people pushing euthanasia and working hard to make you feel guilty unless you demand to have a DNR on the hospital chart of an aging relative. With an aging baby boomer population, the right to die is practically becoming the obligation to die for the crime of getting old. The Dying with Dignity committee can hardly wait to make euthanasia legal in Quebec. ...http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10494073tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10494073Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:11:39 GMTHe's been offered a job, a scholarship... but he's still persona non grata at Dawson College. 20-year-old computer science student Ahmed Al-Khabaz was expelled from Dawson after exposing a vital online security flaw, then checking the next day to see if it had been fixed (it had not). It was this follow-up that the school labeled a “cyber-attack”... but should they be giving him a medal instead? We ask Ahmed what happened, and what he plans to do about it… listen to the audio and let me know how YOU think Dawson handled the situation.http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10493489tschnurmacher@cjad.astral.com (Tommy Schnurmacher)http://www.cjad.com/blog/TommySchnurmacherShow/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10493489Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:43:21 GMTIn the past he has advised Jacques Parizeau. He has written speeches for Lucien Bouchard. He has been a blogger, and he is now PQ Cabinet Minister in charge of... us! Jean Francois Lisée is an amazing interview... The Minister for the Montreal Region, he is brilliant, eloquent, and disarmingly funny. He also spoke to some very challenging questions, and his answers - on issues ranging from schooling to public transit to bilingual communities - certainly weren't what I expected.
