Angry year in Quebec politics reaches its nadir in tragedy
MONTREAL – What should have been an historic moment in Quebec — the election of its first woman premier — was tainted Tuesday night as an angry year of discontent reached its nadir.
“What’s going on?” an obviously concerned Pauline Marois said to one of her provincial police bodyguards as he plucked the Parti Quebecois leader by the elbow from her moment of triumph and whisked her from the stage at her victory rally in a bubble of burly plainclothes cops.
The premier-designate cast searching glances over her shoulder as she was moved quickly away, with a climate of confusion sweeping over the room.
