Who here thinks that Gilles Duceppe and his bullcrap party friends are full of crap?? Shane Doan is a good canadian who represents Canada well for us and Duceppe wants to defame him by accusing him of racial profiling against french canadians. (mainly Quebecers)
Gilles Duceppe can take his province and shove it if he thinks that!!

To all my French Canadian brothers and sisters out there... I am not from Quebec. Your countrymen do not dislike you. We do, however, despise it when stuff like this comes up. It is a pathetic attempt to drive a deeper wedge between us, and it is almost always perpetrated by your politicians. Sadly, I do detect a veiled defence of these knobs.
That is why we have problems. It seems like common sense went bye-bye for many of you long ago, and was replaced by fear and loathing of your countrymen.
Ditch the attitude, grab a Molson's, and just chill. Doan didn't say anything.

Come to think of it, Britain and France have never liked each other. If you're gonna start a hissy fit every time they insult each other, you'll never have a moment where you're not angry. |

Folks the only reason the dumb politicians are jumping on this issue is to buy votes for a possible upcoming election. If it was a majority govermnment, there probably wouldn't be as big an issue on "the hill".
You want to have a unified Canada, here's what you do. Let Quebec seperate, Canada then invades Quebec and takes back the land and claims Quebec as a part of Canada. Done and done! :) |

I'm a French Canadian too, and I just want to understand why English people call French ones "frog" if it's only French people who are jealous of English people. I don’t think it's jealousy but it's due to the all time dispute of the French vs. English present in our country since the 17th century. I know what you want to mean by "cocky" but I think it's natural to try to preserve our language and be proud of our culture. But I think we don’t have to judge anybody for the language he speaks. For the Doan controversy I also think that goes too far and he just called a ref a frog not all of the French Canadians. I think that Duceppe like to bring controversy because he doesn't have any power and he wants some attention. |

I bet a lot of players call refs frogs or something of the like (though maybe not out loud). What proof is there that he was saying it because the ref was French Canadian? Maybe he just didn't like the call, refs do make a lot of dumb ones.
What if some French Canadian player said something like this to an English-speaking Canadian ref? Would there be any trouble like this about it? I doubt it. It's just the Bloc separatists looking to stir up bullcrap. |

I heard on the radio he called the French ref a "frog". I don't know what it means but in the context he used it it was very bad. I think that people are blowing this out of preportion but I can see both sides of the coin. I am not French-Canadian but I think that if I was and I thought Doan made this comment I would be pretty pissed off to know he is leading our team.
I doubt Doan said what he said on purpose, it was a heat of the moment thing. Shane Doan doesn't look like a guy who would say something like that on purpose, and he doesnt look as if he would say it at all.

I also don't doubt that he said whatever he did, in fact worse things have been said. I bet 99% of us have said something that could have qualified as a "racial slur" without even knowing it. I know I have. I certainly never meant it though because I am not a white supremacist or anything, but in the heat of competition, I have probably recited every word in the "Swear Dictionary" at least once. Competition naturally does that to most people.
All I've heard that he's said so far is something like "effing Frenchman". As a French-Canadian, I don't see how that is a slur in any way. The word "effing" (for cleanliness) is used in front of everything. And if Doan referred to Cormier as a Frenchman afterwards, then he did nothing other than refer to him as what he really is. If he made some kind of comment about the fact that four French officials were working their game against Montreal, then it is simply an observation that, to me, was worth noting with humour/suspicion. Now I know the issue is now deeper than the actual words he said, but I just thought I would share my opinion about it. I agree with IHC that this is not solely Duceppe's doing and that this is really an attack by committee. But I do defend what Nicholson did on Doan's behalf. Maybe not some stuff he said as I didn't hear his whole shpiel but the fact that the President of Hockey Canada would pationately and emotionally defend his players in the way he did shows me that he is behind our players 100% and that is a good thing for Canadian hockey. |

Here's a big suprise (sarcastic tone).....I disagree with all of you......
WRT the Doan incident, I have no doubt the allegations are true. even guys like Ray Ferraro admit it's probably true, when you're in the middle of a game, you do say stupid s***......Seeing as Quebec is a large part of this country, I don't like the idea of some anti-francophone player captaining the team....I don't think is was actually Duceppe himself who decided to throw this tantrum, I think it was a language commitee or something, so don't make a habit of slamming the wrong people w/o doing your research..... you would flunk out of university in a heartbeat for making such unjustified claims.......Plus that is slander........My point is make sure you guys actually know WHO brought Shayne Doan under the gun before you run your mouth and improperly influence people....Cause I think Duceppe himself does have bigger issues to deal with...He might have backed the idea after having it proposed(As I personally believe he should), but it wouldn't be Duceppe himself who would concoct this all alone....The fools on the sports stations are saying the exact crap you guys are saying, and you don't really understand (even at a laymans level) how the system works...So I really urge you guys and girls to keep your mouth shut about it!!!!
and on a final note Bob Nicholsons "he's a Christian" call shows how dumb that guy is......Open up a history book guys and girls, and I bet you'll hear about some devout Christians who have said and done some dumb things in the last 2007 years...Or better yet go down to the local church, I bet you'll hear some Christians say some inappropriate/slanderous stuff...News flash people, being a Christian doesn't automatically mean your a 4-star human being.

for anyone who is from anywhere but canada this should enlighten you on what is being talked about...http://www.dobberhockey.com/content/view/289/1/ I wanna know how on earth shane could possible shadow anything by being a captain is beyond me...something once again minor blown out of proportion for personal gain in politics

and he makes his "countrymen" (mainly separatist quebecers who think they can live apart from Canada...good luck bitches) look stupid because he drags them down with him.
Shane Doan is a devout christian (not that I am...) so I seriously doubt he would utter any type of racial slur towards french people.(I'm french-canadian by the way and don't care what people slur at me) |

Man what a dumbass this guy is. This is ridiculous, all those Bloc-types looking to stir up trouble for the rest of Canada...
Seriously Duceppe, your province is not a separate sovreign country, you're a part of Canada. Stop creating cases against your countrymen to cook up excuses to make everyone else feel sorry for you. |

im a a french quebecers and i think the Doan incident did go really too far
its the same as if Vinny Lecavalier go in ontario and tell the ref that are from there "squarehead" i dont think it would do such a plate....
i know we (quebec people in general) are stupid in a way, thinking about being a country is the only thing we should live for, but i can use my judgement to see that its a minor incident.
form a french quebecer and proud of it ( but is able to see thing as they are)

This is just another proof that those ***** Quebecers (speaking in general no ofense to any off you out there) think they are the world, They think everyone's life are based on them, this is just another part of there getting a Quebec team in the Olympics plan. And Gilles Duceppe is a separatists so for sure he was going to complain if the Canadian didn't have a Quebec player as a team captain, that they way they are and that is never going to change.

Oh, and by the way Canadian politicians, Doan just had a natural hat trick to lead your team to a 6-3 victory against Belarus. Granted, it's Belarus, so not that impressive, but they were down 1-0 when he started the scoring.

I am going to find out which meatheat politicians are behind this besides Layton and I am going to make sure no one I know votes for them. I may even go door-to-door. It's unreal that someone would trash Doan (who wouldn't say you-know-what if his mouth was full of it).
