Mount Royal Cross: Is Montreal ashamed?
On July 27, as part of Pope Francis' visit, a gathering of "Mohawk mothers" called for the dismantling of the Mount Royal Cross.
The newspaper Métro reports the statement of these "Mohawk mothers": "the indigenous peoples see [this symbol]
as the Jewish people see the swastika."
The Christian cross would therefore be the equivalent of the distinctive symbol of Nazism!
The "Mohawk mothers" Nazified the history of New France which, let us remember, had little to do with British colonization on the American continent, nor with that of the Spanish and Portuguese. The truth of the facts is now optional.
Nazism?
But let us accept their logic for a moment. Let us put all Europeans in the same bag.
How can we seriously equate the European expansion from 1492, associated with the time of the great discoveries,
to the history of the Third Reich?
Our time has lost the meaning of words.
She has found a new scapegoat: the great bad white man, presented as a dirty little Satan, condemned to perpetual penance, eternal genuflection, repentance until the end of time. It is not allowed to hate him: it is even mandatory. His hatred is surrounded by a religious ritual that can push, as we know, to the point of burning books.
Wanting to erase the mount royal cross is part of this logic. The same is true of the public prayer now recited about the supposed unceded territories, as if we were not at home in our country. We dream of symbolically destroying the legitimacy
of the countries resulting from European expansion.
We hear about reconciliation, but in fact, the most radical Native American activists dream of revenge.
For them, we would only be "intruders" in America.
It must be said that they are instrumentalized by the radical left which appropriates their cause to lead its anti-Western crusade.
Make no mistake: Residential schools are an indelible stain on Canada's history. But repairing this injustice should not mean falling into self-destruction. Yet it is the temptation of our elites who pour into identity masochism with morbid enjoyment.
For the time being, the idea of despinning the Mount Royal cross is rejected. What will happen in a few years, after the unleashing of unprecedented guilt-inducing propaganda?
The response of the City of Montreal, also reported by Metro, has nothing to reassure us.
The Mount Royal cross would represent for her "a major historical emblem of Montreal recalling specific historical events, and that it is a representative symbol of the French-Canadian population."
Delirium
Is this really how the City sees this cross?
The expression "French-Canadian population" is tantamount to transforming the history of the Quebec
people into the history of an ethnic community among others.
We feel that the City of Montreal is ashamed of this cross.
And we come back to it: when we accept to take seriously "Mohawk mothers" who equate the Mount Royal cross with the swastika,
it is because we have already mentally lost the battle.
