And yes it was because he had integrity. The sad part is the ones he left in power had/have none!

As a matter of fact – the MAJORITY of the 2 + million English speaking people in the Province – live in the greater Montreal area. Almost 1 million of that number fall under the Anglo pop. definition with the other 2 million + falling under the Allo pop. definition(of which I’m one) and that includes English from England, Scotland, Ireland, Americans etc…
A big problem has been that most people blindly accept the FALSE population stats that have been bandied about as fact since the PQ came to power.
Here’s an example to consider. In the mid sixties – the non Francophone population made up 40 – 45% of Quebec’s population, which at the time was around 7 million. The day after the PQ were elected – that percentage was immediately publicly reduced to 30% – even though that was an outright lie. Within 2 – 3 years – our politicos were spouting that Anglos made up as little as 8-9% of QC’s population!!! Today these numbers have – publicly been increased a little. But the TRUTH is .. and always has been that the MAJORITY of the greater Montreal area is non Francophone and that MAJORITY language is English! It happened to be where the English settled – with a few Anglo (God I hate that term) pockets in the rest of the Province.

They may be banding the number 12 or 12% as the English population of QC, but it most certainly is NOT the percentage of the English population of Montreal. If that were the case – then instead of 600,000 leaving the Province… 2 million would have had to leave. So please – take a look at the facts. Many thanks.
