My friend was at Sir George Williams University during the October Crisis. The daughter of Pierre Laporte was in his class. He never saw her again after her father was kidnapped. As long as we live, the memories of the those terrible autumn days will haunt us.
René Lévesque makes an articulate case. I am an English Canadian, and I certainly don't blame the Québécois as a people for what happened. No matter what happens politically, even if Quebec separates, the Québécois will always be my fellow-countrymen.
@Anekantavad Thank You! as a Québec separatist, its really refreshing to see that there are people in Canada who take the time to try to understand this cause. I personally am ashamed of what the main independance movement has become today, especially within the PQ and Bloc. Aside from the idea of independance itself, they could not be more detached from Lévesque's original vision of a sovereign Québec, which took into account not only the notion of independace, but of social change as well.
@lardonbiencuit I like how the clip perfectly illustrates Lévesque's profound modesty. This perfectly mirrors the Québécois peoples' sentiments, even if they like to sometimes hide their modesty under a (somewhat unconvincing) prickliness.
