The other night I wrote about how shocked I was by the senseless act of cowardly violence that stole the life of poor Denis Blanchette.
And how stunned I was to see his deranged killer scream "The English are rising!!!" As if he was acting in our name, as if we the Anglos of Quebec shared his crazy views and his blind hatred.
For a Montrealer like me, who lives and plays happily in both solitudes, and is always trying to bring Quebecers and Canadians together, it was the ultimate nightmare.
An old Anglo, in a balaclava .... and a bathrobe ... screaming "The English are rising up!!! There's going to be fucking payback !!!"
After killing a poor stage hand, throwing a molotov cocktail at the back entrance, and trying to shoot-up the PQ victory party.
For no sane reason.
