I congratulate you for having the ...Dear Beverly <br /> I congratulate you for having the courage to write your article on the FLQ in the Gazette.<br />I find it interesting how so many people think the reading of the FLQ manifesto on the Plains of Abraham is “no big deal”.<br /> For Gilles Duceppe other Quebec politicians and for that matter Canadians in general, to claim that this is fine because it’s part of Quebec’s history is certainly forgetful of the violence and mayhem caused by these words. I do not think anything should be censored but the reading should not be presented as a celebration and used as political opportunism.<br />Although I am not a Quebecer, I do spend a lot of time in the Provence and interact with the full spectrum of Quebec society, I wish the people of Quebec well whatever they chose as their final destiny, but a destiny chosen through a well informed, peaceful choice, free of manipulation by politicians and radicals motivated only by self interest.<br /><br />John ShearerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
