François Legault apparait de moins en moins comme un converti au fédéralisme, et de plus en plus comme le porte-drapeau des souverainistes revanchards.


Vives tensions entre Radio-Canada et CBC

 L’utilisation du mot commençant par un N à ICI Radio-Canada Première, la réprimande du CRTC et la manière d’y répondre ont profondément divisé les directions de CBC et de Radio-Canada. La décision du diffuseur public – présenter ses excuses au plaignant, mais contester l’ingérence de l’organisme fédéral – découle d’un bras de fer « extrêmement tendu » entre les services français et anglais. L’interprétation des Normes et pratiques journalistiques fait aussi débat.

Here is the National Post’s headline this morning: “‘Canada is broken’ says majority of Canadians”. It is the lead story, and it goes on to explain that a poll by DART & Maru/Blue (a brand name that sort of just rolls off the tongue) found that 59 per cent of Canadians believe the country is not headed in the right direction. And 69 per cent believe the country is “broken”.

Another way of describing that poll result could be, “Over two thirds of Canadians have no idea the country has never had it so good”.

“(The inspector) examined the spoons and said, ‘You only have English on the spoons,’ and ‘you can’t have that.’ So we took them out,” Lipper said.  Lipper then had his manager run out and buy generic white plastic spoons and immediately started using them.
 As for the statement issued last Friday by the OQLF that the media incorrectly reported that he had been told not to use the spoons and that its investigation was not complete, Lipper said the inspector was very clear. She told him to stop using the spoons until he heard back from the Office.
