Here is a bit from Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois' post-devastation resignation speech...
"We cannot forget where we come from or who we are... We come from a courageous people. We have to continue perpetuate the will of all of those generations who fought so that we could exist. Not (just) survive, not bend, to exist fully."
Wow. I had not realized that the Grande Madame's part of Quebec was so hard done by....
She's quite right about the sturdiness of Quebecois in general. Ironic, since her election platform expected people to piss their pants at the sight of a girl in a headscarf.
ReplyDeleteEven Lucien Bouchard and Jacques Parizeau were smart enough to distance themselves from Marois after she made 'certain' comments.
