保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东发表此番言论之际,总理在魁北克市的演讲引发争议魁北克人党领袖保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东表示,魁北克独立公投运动已经展开,暗示是加拿大总理马克·卡尼启动了这场运动。周日,在魁北克省圣雅辛特举行的魁北克人党大会上,圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东向数百名党员发表讲话,指责总理马克·卡尼近期的言论实际上启动了联邦主义者的“反对”运动。本周早些时候,卡尼在魁北克市就亚伯拉罕平原战役发表讲话,将1759年的这场战役描述为加拿大法语区和英语区人民“伙伴关系”的开始,并呼吁国家团结。圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东表示,卡尼的言论预示着未来将发生的事情。魁北克人党(PQ)与魁北克集团(Bloc Québécois)在主要政党大会上联手捍卫魁北克独立“一个新的政治周期已经开启。我们历史的新篇章正在我们面前展开,”魁北克人党领袖说道。“卡尼先生,魁北克的存在并非源于加拿大。事实上,魁北克正是凭借其独特性和鲜明的个性,在加拿大之外生存了下来,”他补充道,此言一出,现场热情洋溢的魁北克人党支持者们起立鼓掌。圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东(St-Pierre Plamondon)周五严厉批评了卡尼,指责他是“殖民主义悠久传统”的一部分,这一传统可以追溯到达勒姆勋爵时期。“这一传统就是篡改事实和历史,并通过联邦机构不断向我们灌输谎言,”他说道。“我们将与英国殖民主义决裂,建立我们自己的国家。
PQ leader says Mark Carney has effectively launched referendum campaign
Paul St-Pierre Plamondon's comments come as PM's Quebec City speech stirs controversy
Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says the referendum campaign for Quebec independence is already underway, suggesting it was the Canadian prime minister who launched it.
Speaking to hundreds of party members at a PQ convention in Saint-Hyacinthe, Que., on Sunday, St-Pierre Plamondon blamed recent comments by Prime Minister Mark Carney for effectively launching the federalist "No" campaign.
Speaking earlier this week about the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City, Carney described the 1759 battle as the start of a "partnership" between French and English people in Canada and called for national unity.
St-Pierre Plamondon said Carney's comments are a sign of things to come.
PQ, Bloc Québécois join forces to defend Quebec independence at major party convention
"A new political cycle has indeed begun. A new chapter in our history is opening before us," said the PQ leader.
"Mr. Carney, Quebec does not exist because of Canada. In fact, Quebec has survived in its difference and specificity despite Canada," he added, to a standing ovation from a crowd of enthusiastic PQ supporters.
St-Pierre Plamondon sharply criticized Carney on Friday, accusing him of being part of a "long tradition of colonialism" dating back to Lord Durham.
"This tradition is one of falsifying facts and history and constantly feeding us lies through federal institutions," he said. "We will break with British colonialism and create our own country."
