THAT's where the "hatred" is coming from in Canada at the moment! The Québécois are not always victims, but right now they are definitely on the receiving end of a lot of shit and that message from Sarkozy couldn't have been more ill-timed or out of place, in my opinion! Alison, this post made me laugh out loud, and that’s not an easy thing to make me do.
