Talk:Denys Arcand

message: Question: somebody has listed Arcand at List of famous gay, lesbian or bisexual people. I know that this article was also previously categorized as :Category:Gay, lesbian or bisexual people, but the category's been removed since the last time I was here. The article makes no mention of this; in fact, it mentions that he's been married twice to women. I do realize that bisexuality does exist, being one myself and all, so I'm asking about it before taking any action: is there any supporting evidence to have Arcand listed as gay or bisexual, or should he be removed from that list?

message: Regardless of what any so-called American "expert" has to say about Québec's nationhood, you are wrong about the Parliamentary recognition of "Québec" as a nation. The recognition was that of the "Québécois" as a nation. Although the legal definition in Québec of Québécois is any resident of Québec, everyone (including Prime Minister Harper) knows that many people in Québec (especially anglophones and allophones) do not self-identify as such. The Québécois are, in plain speaking, an ethno-linguistic group which forms a majority in Québec. These people do not exercise some divine right to rule solely over the territory which forms province of Québec. The province does not belong to them only, whether or not their culture is closely tied to it. It belongs to everyone here, and to everyone in Canada (which is a nation, in which Québec takes part and to which Denys Arcand belongs). To say "honored by his own nation" as you have, after mentioning already that he was honored by Canada, makes it sound like Québec is his nation while Canada is not (which it clearly and factually is).
The word nation in this context in this article is a politically loaded buzzword which sparks too much debate for use in this article. I think it ought to be changed to something that none of us can deny; Québec is a Canadian province.

message: Is there a reference for Arcand being a Lapsed Catholic? Perhaps he is simply an agnostic or atheist, which in Catholic terminology is an apostate when the person is a former Catholic, not a lapsed Catholic. And if he isn't Catholic, then Catholic terminology is hardly relevant. We wouldn't write that he is a heretic of every other religion, would we? It would be far more useful to say that he grew up in a Catholic household but gave up the religion at some point, if that happens to be true. 216.94.11.2 (talk) 15:22, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
