Michel Boucher is French - Canadian and IIRC lives in the Ottawa area...he
is a long - time poster here. IIRC he is (or was) a librarian for the
Canadian Parliament...
He HATES the English language and also ALL Anglophones, he holds them in
sneering contempt...in fact I believe he is on some sort of "Do Not Enter"
list for the United States!
Politically speaking he is also a die - hard COMMUNIST who would love
nothing more than seeing old Soviet - style communism reigning as the one
and only socio - political system in all the world. His ideal world would
be present - day Cuba - - with a swinging Francophone beat, natch...
That said I always enjoy Michel's food posts, I myself have learned much
about poutine and other things...those French Canadians surely have a
penchant for rustic peasant dishes.
I know he'll really appreciate that subscription to _The Western Standard_
and _The Collected Works of Mark Steyn_ ("bound in calfskin, embossed in
gold...") that I'm gifting him for the upcoming holiday (in his case New
Year's, him being a communist Christmas is verboten and all...)...
