As a French Canadian living in Montréal, I am surprised at the
ineptitude of the USA autorities in solving the plight of the thousands
of people stranded in New Orleans, many of them on roof tops. As the
authorities take notice of the problem, and people die, these
autorities think of is the number of police necessary to control
looting. And what about people dying on roof tops? Well for the
autorities, this is a secundary problem.

As this happens, it is reminds one of the historic events that occured
in what was once French Canada. Before what the Americans and
Englo-Canadians call the "French and Indian War", but what French
Canada described as the Conquest of Canada, the whole of this region,
from the the Saint-Lawrence valley to the Golf of Mexico was Canada,
French Canada. This why the Library of Congress, Wash DC at his web
site preserve the many French plans drawn up at that time, See MAP
COLLECTION: 1500-2004 at
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html. For a map of the
area that Canada then covered, have a look at MUSÉE DE LA
NOUVELLE-FRANCE -

Some one the web asked why was New Orleans built below sea level? I
really don't know. Has someone the answer? In the mean time, it
matters that autorities get down on earth and save the thousands of
people calling for help in New Orleans, formerly Nouvelle-Orléans.

If a massive F2 or F3 tornado sat on top of Quebec for several hours and
destroyed or blocked or submerged all the roads, killed maybe a third of the
people who didn't evacuate, flooded to the ceilings all the homes, businesses,
fire and police stations, polluted the drinking water, destroyed the electrical
and gas and telephone service, and shut down the hospitals, do you think your
government could get things right again in a matter of hours. Get real. And
now the rescuers are met with armed, looting thugs who can't get their drug fix
so they're getting a little cranky in there and shooting at people in
helicopters and boats who are trying to help.

Quit condemning people when you obviously don't have a clue about the full
extent of the problems they are dealing with.

Monsieur Hudson,
KATRINA - PEOPLE STRANDED IN NEW ORLEANS - A CITY ONCE
PART OF NOUVELLE-FRANCE
Monsieur Hudson,
I am surprised at some of the reactions expressed about
my web describing the ineptitude of US autorities about the New Orleans
catastrophy. In fact, the observation we made is an accusation of the
US system, a system which, for Americans, is the BEST IN THE WORLD.
Fact prove otherwise.

The world must recognize that US has made some
marvellous innovations. Such as the Internet and its product, the web.
However, the US insistance that everything be made through private
enterprise is wrong. A country is a social entity, not a private
enterprise. This social entity sometimes calls for social measures.
The less, the better. But private enterprise will make no money out of
social measures and is not interested.

The NewOrleans catastrophy is a social for which your
country is ill-adapted to face. In the case you mention, that of
..."massive F2 or F3 tornado sat on top of Quebec for several
hours".... Canada and in particular Québec has a SOCIAL NET to call
upon in case of a major catastrophy. The US has little
