Bravo Sarkozy!

“And those who died here, no one asked them from which region [of Canada] they came.”

Thus spoke French President Nicolas Sarkozy from the shores of Normandy. He did not stop there.

“We knew from which country they came. We didn't even ask them which language they spoke.”

Such perfect words!

Such refreshing language from France! Sarkozy is clearly unwilling to go the quarrelsome De Gaulle route when it comes to Quebec and Canada. All I can do is express my appreciation for this.

I was in Dieppe in 1994. France - indeed Europe (at least those parts where Canadians fought) - does not forget what their "cousins" did for them. I witnessed it. It was something to behold. It was odd to be treated with such respect in a distant land. All those Canadian flags. Our cemetery in all its eerie but honorable silence.

It's a shame that parts of Canada play pathetic politics when it comes to those who spilled blood in World War II.

Weak minds are unable to suspend their parochial political "ideas" for something they don't agree with. The Bloc's reaction has no profound political value or integrity. It is much more beneficial to flick them away as we do flies.

Sarkozy showed just how small and petty of a place Quebec can be with separatists lurking among true open-minded progressives.
