JE ME SOUVIENS (I REMEMBER) by Céline Leduc 12/2013 I REMEMBER is the motto of Quebec I remember the English colonized me. I forget I colonized First Nations. I remember multiculturalism is bad. I forget it allowed me to keep my culture. I remember the Church is my downfall I forget it was Louis XIV and Napoleon politics I remember my language matters I forget I imposed language on First Nations. I remember my culture I want others to forget their culture Quebec’s new motto should be I FORGET -- J’OUBLIE

This poem is written and was inspired by the proposed Quebec Charter of Value that the current government wants to make a law, that forbids any religious symbols.
