Of all 365 days of the year, Canada had to choose that day, the same day as the anniversary of the hanging of five Patriotes. With this abhorrent attempt to steal the day from Quebeckers, Canada has desecrated the memory of our heroes. Chevalier De Lorimier, Charles Hindelang, Amable Daunais, Fran\u00e7ois Nicolas, and Pierre-R\u00e9mi Narbonne were hanged because they loved their nation, because they fought for it, and because they believed in freedom and were enemies of oppression.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4750075\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On this 150th anniversary of Confederation, I would remind the House that Canada was built on the gallows that killed our heroes. Canada may have gotten a new flag on February 15, but we the <em>ind\u00e9pendantistes</em>, the separatists, we got our rallying cry: <em>Vive la libert\u00e9, vive l'ind\u00e9pendance.</em> Long live freedom, long live independence.</p>",

Des 365 jours de l'ann\u00e9e, il fallait qu'il choisisse ce jour-l\u00e0. Le Canada a choisi comme signature le jour de la pendaison de cinq patriotes. Par sa tentative odieuse de voler cette journ\u00e9e aux Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, le Canada profane la m\u00e9moire de nos h\u00e9ros. Chevalier De Lorimier, Charles Hindelang, Amable Daunais, Fran\u00e7ois Nicolas et Pierre-R\u00e9mi Narbonne ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pendus parce qu'ils aimaient leur peuple, parce qu'ils ont combattu pour lui et parce qu'ils \u00e9taient \u00e9pris de libert\u00e9 et ennemis de l'oppression.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4750075\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Rappelons-nous, en cette ann\u00e9e de son 150<sup>e</sup> anniversaire, que le Canada s'est b\u00e2ti sur les potences des insoumis.
