Looking out the window of our room I saw below the statue of Samuel de Champlain, the âFather of New Franceâ and founder of QuĂ©bec City in 1608. To the left the Canadian flag flew at half-mast to recognise the death of Bernard Landry, a former Premier of the Province, and a separatist. The image struck me as the concurrence of three texts: a beginning and an end, in a place willing to remember both.
