Aujourd'hui Michel Guimond, le député de Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord et le whip en chef du Bloc Québécois a souligné l'œvre de Jane Jacobs, une activiste sociale. Mme. Jacobs est décédée hier à Toronto, à la province de l'Ontario. Mme. Jacobs a publié plusieurs de livres; le plus bien-connu, c'était un livre qui est intitulé Quebec and the Struggle Over Sovereignty. (See ¶1 for a translation.)
Watching CPAC today, in class (ssh! don't rat me out!), I saw an interview with Ms. Jacobs; she seemed like quite the character! On Talk Politics, they recounted an interview in which she had participated in the past, reading passages of her book to the delight and laughter of the audience before her. Even though she may have been a sovereigntist, in terms of her seeing a bright future for a sovereign Province of Québec, the culture of Canada changes, even if only slightly, whenever such a prominent figure passes on.
