Governor General Elect’s Connections to the Marxist FLQ Terrorists:

The Governor General is the representative of the head of state of Canada, Queen Elizabeth II, and ,as such, is the office where Canadians must turn for a steady hand in any constitutional crisis. The office is, historically, understood to be above partisan politics. Jean, however, along with her immediate predecessor, is entirely beholden to the Liberal Party and is an enthusiastic proponent of its ongoing leftist social re-engineering project, but with the Boulanger article, her connections may offer reasons for more serious concerns.
“Michaelle Jean et les felquistes (Michaelle Jean and the F.L.Q.),” documents the ties that linked the soon-to-be Governor General and her film-maker husband, Jean-Daniel Lafond with the FLQ whose bomb-throwing, robbing, kidnapping and murdering career disturbed the peace in Quebec and this Dominion, thirty-five years ago.
Boulanger says that the soon-to-be Viceregal Consort, Jean-Daniel Lafond, has no truck with such “trashy” (de pacotille) politicians as Belinda Stronach and Jean Lapierre. The former philosophy professor, he says, deals only with pure revolutionaries, like the ones during the 1970 October Crisis, for example, whose violent behaviour, Boulanger proudly points out, provoked Ottawa to declare martial law and send the army into Quebec.
One example that should stir some of Canada’s longer-term memories, is of one of Lafond’s script writers and closest associates, Francis Simard. Simard was a member of the Chenier F.L.Q. cell who, together with his fellow terrorists, Paul and Jacques Rose and Bernard Lortie, seized Quebec’s deputy premier and labour minister, Pierre Laporte while he was playing football with his children. He later used Laporte’s religious medal to garrote him and stuffed his body in the trunk of a car.
During the crisis, seven people died and dozens were injured. One bomb was planted somewhere in Quebec every 10 days. The country hovered on the brink of collapse and the federal government declared martial law under the War Measures Act.
Boulanger, himself a script-writer, has had professional dealings with Lafond whose loving documentary about the FLQ “freedom fighters” has won accolades. He recalls visiting the future royal couple in their Petit Bourgogne apartment to discuss film writing. Before they got down to business, his host showed him round the place, pointing with particular pride to a recently renovated library. The man Lafond hired to do the renovations was none other than Jacques Rose, who not only put up shelves but also created a hidden compartment for Lafond to stash weapons in.
The same Jacques Rose likely built the fake wall behind which he and his fellow murderers hid while the police searched for them in vain. As Boulanger admiringly remarks, Lafond doesn’t keep company with just anyone.
In case anyone is thinking that Muggeridge is making it all up, I draw your attention to the comments made today in the Montreal Gazette by the separatist head of the Organization Against Canadian Corruption and Propaganda and a former president of the Societe St-Jean Baptiste, Gilles Rheaume to the effect that there is little doubt in Quebec that Jean and her husband are sovereigntists. Rheaume said, “In the nationalist circles, many people were sure that Mme. Jean and her husband were sovereigntists. Many persons believed that.”
Rheaume speaks for more than a few when he demands to know how Jean voted in the 1995 Quebec referendum. Rheaume said yesterday that Prime Minister Paul Martin should have checked Jean’s credentials more carefully and called him “an amateur to name a person who many believe is a sovereigntist, to name this person head of state.”
