While Donald Trump keeps saying how much he would like Canada to become the 51st American state, Guy Nantel joked on the same subject 17 years ago. In a video of the show Parliamentworkwe see the humorist making almost prophetic remarks.
Fourteen years after the first Parliamentarythe legendary political spectacle had returned from 2008 to 2010, with Pierre Légaré, Daniel Lemire and Yvon Deschamps among false politicians.
In the skin of the deputy of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu-Hérouxville, in the opposition party, Guy Nantel had first said it was disgusted to “pay tax without ever having a service accordingly”.
Criticizing the government in place, he had continued by saying that the day when Quebec is sovereign, he would not be afraid to cut any commercial relationship that connects Quebec to China if the latter did not want to cooperate.
“It should make them lose a minimum of 0.000003% of their gross national product. They will think about it twice before standing in Quebec. ”
-Nantel had then made a Trump of himself by mentioning how he could ensure that French-speaking culture was not threatened in North America.
“I take it upon myself to declare today that the day after a winning referendum, we become the 51st American state. I met George Bush on this and he was very sensitive to French-speaking culture. He even wants to take care of us, as he said in his language: I’ll take care of you, fucking frogs.»
