La Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal et le Mouvement national des Québecois s’unissent, aujourd’hui, afin de commémorer la première Journée nationale des patriotes. Rappelons que dans le passé, selon les allégeances au Canada, le congé férié du lundi précédant immédiatement le 25 mai de chaque année était désigné Fête de Dollard-des-Ormeaux ou Fête de la Reine. Mais voilà que désormais, c'est la Journée nationale des patriotes qui est célébrée, après une proclamation du gouvernement du Québec dans le but d’honorer la mémoire des Patriotes qui ont lutté pour la reconnaissance nationale du peuple du Québec, pour sa liberté politique et pour l'obtention d’un système de gouvernement démocratique. 1, record 7, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20nationale%20des%20patriotes

Au Québec, la Journée nationale des patriotes commémore la lutte des patriotes de 1837 pour l’obtention d’un gouvernement démocratique. La fête de Dollard commémorait Dollard des Ormeaux, un officier français tué par les Iroquois en mai 1660 en défendant la Nouvelle-France. 2, record 7, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20nationale%20des%20patriotes
