TAKING ON ETHNOCENTRIC QUEBECOIS NATIONALISTS:In 1996, just after the second 1995 near nation ending Quebec Referendum to separate from Canada, Howard formed the Quebec Political Action Committee (QPAC) with which to take on Quebec’s Ethnocentric Nationalists who have made the UNRESTRICTED use of the English language ILLEGAL.QPAC drove the Quebec government to distraction, effectively ending any opportunity for Quebec to hold another referendum to secede from Canada. For Howard's troubles, his wife Anne endured countless death threats and were forced to live with armed bodyguards 24/7 for months at a time between 1996 and 1998.Howard has been written-up in Time Magazine, The Economist and far too many other prominent news magazines and newspapers worldwide to count, including active participation on a CBS 60-Minutes feature on the language wars in Quebec. In 1996, Howard was included amongst Canada’s News Makers Of The Year.
