This is a holiday weekend in Canada as Monday is a National holiday. In all of Canada, except for Quebec, it is Victoria Day. In Quebec and since “we” hate all things English, it’s known as National Patriots’ Day. That’s the day the French in Quebec commemorate the Revolution against the British…which they lost.
Instead of being an inclusive society like most of the civilized world tried to do, Quebec loves to be an exclusionary society where all things not Francophone suck. This doesn’t come from the people who live here, who are all great, but from our weak willed government who are so afraid of a handful of hard-liners, they will allow themselves to be done up the ass! Pussies! (I will get death threats because of the few lines I wrote above. That is what we have to deal with here)
Okay, enough of that rant as it doesn’t mater to anyone except those that live here 😉
Since it’s a long weekend, many of my friends will be away. I will be going over the bar for 6:30 as I always do, but I’m not even sure who will be there. I think it’ll just be a few friends, and that’ it. I have no idea what we’ll be doing later on, or for the rest of the weekend for that matter! I am meeting a fan over the weekend for a quickie, but that is it for plans. Of course, I will be on-line working on things as I rarely get day off 😉
Happy Victoria’s Day! Is that the correct thing for an American to say? Anyway enjoy it.
I am originally from France, so that makes me a pure francophone, even more so than most Quebecers I guess (even though they’d hate me for saying that) – and I must say, I hate the whole “hating the anglophones” attitude. One of the great things in Montreal, in my opinion, is the fact that it’s so bilingual.
But I won’t go into politics here, this is not the place for it. Instead I wish you a good long weekend, full of good long fuck sessions!
Carol, which bar are you going to tonight? I want to come out and meet you!
Stef, I will be at La Kachette 🙂
