Читать книгу Death in October - Lowell Inc. Green - Страница 2

First published in 1996 immediately following the narrow referendum victory by the Quebec Federalists, Death in October has become a Canadian classic. Out of print for many years, the book has become a collector’s item, new copies selling in some quarters for well over $100! At the urging of his many fans and readers Lowell has updated and added chapters to this book and as you can see has re-printed a much more modern hard cover version. What many will find interesting is that although written more than 15 years ago, the relationship today between Quebec and the rest of Canada is startlingly similar to what it was when this book was first written. In fact, writes Lowell, the premise of the plot line in this book is even more probable today than it was in 1996. Most agree that Canadians today are far less sympathetic to Quebec’s demands today than ever before.

The final chapter dealing with grim conditions in a Republic of Quebec stem from a warning Lowell received from Billy Diamond, Chief of the Grand Council of the Northern Cree just prior to the 1995 referendum.

“Tell your listeners,” said Billy “that if Quebec votes to leave Canada the Cree will fight. Remember, the Cree will fight!”

The Cree will fight.

– Billy Diamond, Grand Chief of the Cree Nation of Northern Quebec, October 1995

Canada is not a real country.

The future of Quebec is to become a sovereign country.

– Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, September 2012

I fear we are entering a new dark age in Quebec.
