FLQ October Crisis figure Paul Rose dies

Should have had the death penalty.

The upcoming week-long hagiography of this murderer on CBC Radio will be as nauseating as usual as such events usually are with the MotherCorp.

a close friend of the former GG and her husband??

...and so dies our last Québec hero.






Yeah, I'm kidding.
Actually, I missed all of this madness as we came back to Québec in June 71.

My parents didn't. They witnessed military vehicles with troops rolling through Hull, QC on their way east. After that my father being an anglophone driving Quebec city buses who spoke french with an english accent had to quit his job because of the language tensions between co-workers. It was either that or he was going to be charged with assault. He left a bus full of people on a friday afternoon, and walked off the job because of a "dispute" with his supervisor.

I was living in Nova Scotia and everybody looked at me as if I was a terrorist.

That sucks man.

Good thing is that a new generation from both sides are going to eventually take over and we'll never see that shit again. My best bud is francophone.

Québec City and English accent was not a good mix back then.

Still might not be.
