Wow there have been some crazy happenings in Montreal and Quebec lately - the theft of millions of dollars of maple syrup, a bride drowning in her own wedding dress and most recently the attempted assassination of the new Premier which ended in an innocent bystander being killed!
We live in a very sedate, sleepy part of the island but it's very strange knowing that not too far away so many crazy things are going on! With the provincial election now over, it's pretty certain that the crazy notion of Quebec going it alone won't happen and will remain part of Canada for the foreseeable future.
The separatist Parti Quebecois did win the most of the seats but were nine short from being able to form a majority government so they will need the support of the other parties to get anything through parliament. Also they only received 32% of the popular vote which is no where near the mandate you would need to make such a massive change happen. Phew, eh?
