My Comment: I was in Quebec City this afternoon, and I saw the spectacle that the Gazette is reporting. To be frank .... the Gazette is sugar coating what had happened here today.
I was on the grounds for two hours yesterday, and I was there today.Yesterday was a family event .... today .... a separatist propaganda event that spread hate and intolerance to people who are not French Quebecois.
Pauline Marois lectures about respect .... but she sure as hell does not respect me, and she and the political party that she represents certainly do not respect people who are not French Quebecers in this province.
