Jean-François Lisée hits a brick wall

Jean-François Lisée hits a brick wall

MONTREAL - We’re pathetic, we English-speaking Quebecers. And after four months of listening to our whimpering, our nanny minister is showing signs of impatience with us.
“You are Quebecers,” Jean-François Lisée snapped in English last week, after announcing a $20,000 subsidy for a tour of the province to promote the bilingual pop song Notre Home, an anglo-angsty plea for acceptance.
“Stop doubting. Stop asking permission to be Quebecers. Stop thinking that you are defined in the eyes of the other.
“You are Quebecers. Get over it.”
