It wasn't the presence of politicians that bothered me. It was actually
kind of cool to see Lucien Bouchard (for the 2nd time: I spotted him in
Ottawa last year), Pierre F. Cote, Bourque (mayor of Montreal) and a few
others. It was the blatantly political overtones of the event that
bothered me. I now understand why many Montrealers (from all backgrounds)
choose not to go to the parade anymore.
