You might not be a big fan of the Parti Quebecois, but you've got to applaud the entertainment they provide the electorate.
Martin Lemay and Daniel Turp joined fellow MNA and language critic Pierre Curzi in denouncing Paul McCartney's show in Quebec City this summer because McCartney's not French. The show went on anyway. Curzi later fudged and waffled and said he was okay with the show. You can ask Turp about all this tomorrow at his office between 5 and 9, him and Duceppe and Harel will be there hosting well wishers.
Remember Andre Boisclair? He was the last leader of the PQ. His Chief of staff between 1996-1998 was named Luc Doray. Doray falsified documents in order to get cash to buy cocaine. He was found guilty of fraud in May 2001 and ordered to pay back $29,500. Boisclair admitted to being a cocaine user during those years as well. Doray works for the City of Montreal nowadays.
What a pity not to have more bad stuff to dig from the Parti-Québécois types.
ReplyDeletePerhaps if you’d dig under Liberals or under Mario Ducon’s hordes of two-of-spades you’ll get juicier morsels, no?
Kristian once described Daniel Turp as "slitheringly sexy" (in the Mirror, I think) and the phrase has stuck in my head. I spotted Turp last summer at lunch in one of the posher eateries on the Main and he must've wondered why this strange woman was grinning at him as she walked past.
ReplyDeleteTurp's photo doesn't look as much like Martin Short this time.
ReplyDeleteon that video, i actually feel bad for her, and dont think we should tease her. why do you think she is so anti-anglo... her own personal insecurity about her inability to speak the language and therefore inability to understand the culture or anglo community. well, then it just seems like proving her right by snickering when she actually tries. it might work to actually express an appreciation that she is trying and therefore, quite possibly be moving to a wider and more tolerant view of quebec.
