‘Michaelle Jean appears to have weathered the summer storm over her nomination as governor-general…All it took was a three-paragraph statement affirming the couple’s commitment to Canada…End of story, one that was becoming ugly, but not before the Prime Minister himself released a statement certifying that the incoming governor-general, symbol of Crown and country, was not a separatist…
Martin and his aides were so caught up in her compelling story, no one thought to ask whether she had a spouse problem. Like, what kind of documentaries did he make? One of them turned out to be a reunion of the 1970 FLQ terrorists. The very worst of them was Jacques Rose, who did time for the kidnapping and murder of Pierre Laporte. Lafond hired him to build a bookshelf in his home. Another film features Pierre Vallieres, author of White Niggers of America, and it’s in this one, in a typical Montreal bistro scene from the early 1990s, that Jean herself joins a toast to sovereignty…
Documentary filmmaking and journalism in Quebec is an inter-connected and incestuous milieu. Many practitioners are assumed to be sovereigntists, and no one thinks anything more of it. RDI, the Radio-Canada all-news channel where Jean was a host, is still living down its early reputation as a den of separatists…
The silence of the Bloc Quebecois and the Parti Quebecois throughout was also rather eloquent. Both parties knew that the appointment of an attractive and articulate representative of federalism…’
Has anyone yet seen one example of Michaelle Jean’s articulating support of “federalism”, using the f-word itself?
Who could have seen this coming?
