Well, this is the day after the day before…
I am still very disappointed. The Parti québécois is an indépendantiste party and I am an advocate of unity among Canadian provinces. However, one does not try to kill another human being. Madame Marois is a human being and this form of hatred, assassination, is unacceptable, as is bearing a firearm.
As for the man who attempted to stop the gunman and died, he was a 48 year-old father. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends. However, people are not blaming English-speaking Quebecers for the shooting. The gunman, Mr Bain, acted on his own.
It was a narrow victory, so those of us who wish for Canada to remain a unified country will regroup and rectify matters, but in a civilized manner.
Madame Marois has already but a referendum on independence on a back burner. I believe she will try not to raise tuition fees, but may have to face reality. She does not have very deep pockets.
I did ask one more person why she voted for Madame Marois. She said: “I am a Quebecer.” Je suis québécoise. Undergirding that statement, I heard: “I am a Catholic.” Je suis catholique. Quebec used to be called the “priest-ridden” province, which it was. However, the words that came to my mind may be a misperception, but not altogether.
For some reason, I can’t ‘Like’ your posts. I wonder whether it’s something on my end, Micheline.

I know the feeling. You’ve entered a conversation, an exchange. I have problems putting a “like” on your posts on Stefania’s, on Print-Sense (I can’t spell her name).
That’s how it is and I like it. The world, as in Hello World is too small an audience. La condition humaine!

I’ve since reboot my computer. Perhaps it’s something on my end, after all. Will keep you posted. You’re right, this is not a comment. Well well.

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the most straightforward thing to understand. I say to you, I surely get irked while people think about worries that they can just are not aware of about. You was able to hit the nail upon the superior and outlined out the slide without possessing side-effects, people may take a sign. Will likely be back to obtain additional. Thanks
