C’était l’Opération Terre Brulée, une manifestation qui devait perturber le conseille des Jeunes Libéraux, tout comme la manif de mai dernier au même endroit lors du congrès du PLQ. Il semble que personne n’a pensé à amené d’allumette pour l’Opération Terre Brulée alors qu’au plus fort de la manifestation seul 13 personnes étaient présente.

L’accroche de cet article de The Gazette décrit bien l’embiance.

If it wasn’t for the reinforced barriers, the beefy armoured officers and the agents in suits whispering into their cuffs, the latest protest against Jean Charest could have been mistaken for an after-school picnic.

Outside the hotel where three months ago the ugliest protest in the student conflict erupted, about a dozen protesters lounged on the grass. One of them unexcitedly held a flag of Les Patriotes.

Il n’y a rien de plus intense que le regard d’un vétéran lors d’une cérémonie officiel. Le regard impénétrable et insaisissable semble regarder au dela du visible, comme s’il revoyait devant lui des scènes qu’il a tant essayé d’oublier.

C’était hier le 9 août, journée nationale des gardiens de la paix. Il y avait cérémonie à la chandelle en leur hommage à Place George V, à Québec.

This will be the last image on my blog of the Pow Wow de Wendake 2012.

A Cree (Cris) from the Mistawasis First Nation wearing Cree traditional dresses and paint takes part into the dance contest of the Wendake Pow-Wow July 1, 2012.  The Algonquian-speaking Cree are one of the largest groups of First Nations / Native Americans in North America, with 200,000 members living in Canada.
