So I'm glad to see Gilles Duceppe not jump in the hot governor's bashfest.
« Je ne suis pas d'accord avec ces procès d'intention, a fermement commenté au SOLEIL le chef du Bloc. Je ne veux pas vivre dans une société où on dit : “vous pensiez cela, le pensez-vous encore ?” C'est le droit des gens de maintenir ou de changer leurs idées.
I'm happy to see that Duceppe, the ex-maoist, agree that people can indeed "change their mind". That'd be inconvenient for him if we were to dig in his past and stick his old ideas in his face. :P
Jack Layton is supportive of Michaëlle Jean: "It’s time to look forward," said Layton.
"Here we have an accomplished woman who has said she loves this country and is willing to take on the responsibilities of being a spokesperson for it. I think that’s something that should be celebrated."
Finally, Chantal Hébert explains how such ambiguity about separatism can happen in Québec, and talks about the nature of journalism. It's a good column. Did I mention that I love Chantal Hébert? I love Chantal Hébert. In spite of her horribly thick accent when she speaks English. And she claims to have spent some of her teenage years in Toronto!! Maybe I should affect a strong Québécois accent once I enter politics, too. Gotta keep it real, you know.
