Earlier this week, Lucien Bouchard rocked the sovereigniste boat by suggesting independence for Quebec will never be attained.
Yesterday, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff released an Open Letter in response to Bouchard's comments. Key graf for me:
Mr. Bouchard had the courage to say what many have been thinking deep down. Instead of passively waiting for a so-called “historic night”, it is crucial that Quebecers actively participate in the changes happening within Canada. They must get involved in shaping the Canada of tomorrow. There is no contradiction in feeling proud to be Canadian and proud to be a Quebecer. There is likewise no reason to hesitate in wanting to shape this country in our image, in all its various forms.
