Exactly one year and one day before Ms Thaï Thi Lac’s election, Jan Wong wrote a piece in the Globe and Mail about the Dawson CEGEP shooting in witch she blamed the whole thing on the separatists:

“What many outsiders don’t realize is how alienating the decades-long linguistic struggle has been in the once-cosmopolitan city. It hasn’t just taken a toll on long-time anglophones, it’s affected immigrants, too. To be sure, the shootings in all three cases were carried out by mentally disturbed individuals. But what is also true is that in all three cases, the perpetrator was not pure laine, the argot for a “pure” francophone. Elsewhere, to talk of racial “purity” is repugnant. Not in Quebec.”

The last time the Montreal Anglophone community elected someone of Asian descent to represent them was: never.
