It’s embarrassing! As a life long Quebecer and ‘moderate’ federalist (reservations about separation, but realistic enough to know that shoving Americanized/Anglo-Saxon values down the throats of both the French and even the working class Quebec Anglos, such as myself won’t work), I have problems with both the French language paranoid fools and the English language whiners. Rene Levesque was never this extremist, in fact, he would be rolling over in his grave about now.

I don’t know how much mileage Harper will gain from this past the next couple of days. It seems to me to be just French Quebec pride boasting and wishing and that’s about it. It’s allowed, just not in any political sense. Curzi is more ignorant of sensibilities because he’s been gone for awhile, perhaps, and is out of touch of how quickly that old school sentimentality of an exclusively French-born Habs squad has become outre.
