In response to a post last Friday on the story of Montreal fans booing the U.S. national anthem a reader e-mails to offer an apology and a prediction:
As a Canadian and Quebecer and Montrealer, but not "pur laine Quebecois", I am ashamed and embarassed.
Please accept my apologies.
More optimistically:
The Quebec independance movement is dieing as apolitical force (the younger generation MUCH less interested), and Quebec is in the last stages of socialist idiocy (politically intertwined with independance). Pretty soon the Quebecois are going to wake up to the fact that 40+ years of soft socialism has made them poor and bound in idiotic regulations, and I fully expect that a counter-movement analogous to leftist-independentiste "revolution tranquille" of the 1950&60's will take place within this decade +/-.
One can hope.
Indeed we can.
