Hi Judy,
I don't know why you say the issue of proroguing didn't cross the Quebec border and the protest here was mostly Anglophone. The French media here have been covering the movement against proroguing, especially after Daniel Weinstock launched his letter. I was in the march in Montreal and while it was small (and mostly middle-aged, by my unscientific observation -- there's an interesting datum for the social-media-organizing files) it didn't seem to me to be majority Anglo. There were Quebec flags and a Patriotes flag and several people were waving Gilles Duceppe's campaign poster from the last election as their placards. (I found this rather witty, actually, as their slogan was the candidate's name plus "Présent!" -- so in this context it was as if Duceppe was answering roll call in Parliament.) There were lots of handmade French signs and people speaking French around me.
