Switching to English, he pledged to "give back to Quebec the prosperity we had 15 years...
Christine (Cristine Rose) and Léa (Patticia Charbonneau) have been schooled in a convent so that obedience is second nature to them. Their venal mother has farmed them out as domestic servants.

...leaders were not pleased over the belligerent and partisan Maclean's article. In Ottawa, Apostolic Delegate Msgr. Ildebrando Antoniutti said Fraser was "badly informed," his article "evidently tendentious." Archbishop Paul-Emile Leger, who had been trying to pour oil over the controversial waters after the resignation of Msgr. Charbonneau, was rumored to be "unhappy...
