- Sorry, that's my fault. I made an analogy to Quebec being like a little boy
- who, in an argument with his parents, suddenly realizes that he isn't going
- to get everything his own way, and thus runs and hides. And it's Denis and
- people like Denis who make me think this. Nothing against the rest of
- Quebec.
