Actually, he was yelling in French.

And Marois may be Premier-Elect, but she has no majority in Quebec's National Assembly, and little chance of assembling any ruling coalition.

Marois was speaking in English, trying to reassure Anglophones that she would protect their rights, when those shots rang out. But her intentions don't matter: she can't do what she had promised her supporters anyway. And she probably only "won" (31% to 30% to 27%) because Les Quebecois have had enough of Charest after 10 years.

Shooter's name is Richard Henry Bain. There is speculation a dispute with the government over an ice fishing license may have been a contributing factor.

During quiet moments alone, Mitt will look at me with those deep pools of emotion (you call them eyes, I call it as I see it) and equate the plight of the Quebecers to that of those put upon pilgrims to Deseret, Brigham Young and our forefathers.  He's often confided in me that the business of having several spouses was as misunderstood as the French tongue is to the Anglophone.  But before the mood turns too dour, Mitt will channel in his funny bone and make a comment sure to lighten the mood -- something like "what Lévesque are we supposed to do about it?"  Oh, we would chuckle and laugh over that bon mot for some time.  

Don't really have much more to add to the conversation than that; just thought I'd tell you why Mitt and I are just normal, average people who think about current events and have senses of humor.

Quebec politics... but Charest is gone, I might start voting again
