Opinion: We’re unlikely partners with a shared vision of a better Quebec
We are unlikely partners. But shared history has brought us together, and a desire to make some history keeps us working together to express a common and powerful desire for a better Quebec.

The Mouvement national des Québécoises et Québécois and TALQ (formerly the Quebec Community Groups Network) have been engaging over the past several months, in positive, constructive ways, about how we can, together, build some important bridges and light a path to greater understanding and unity in our wonderful, shared province/nation.
It is worth noting that those talks also occurred recently in a convivial dinner on May 19, the Journée nationale des Patriotes. It was a nod to the publicly expressed will of former QCGN president Marlene Jennings, who in a 2023 column in The Gazette argued that National Patriots Day should be more inclusive and refer more fully to the participation of anglophones in the events leading to the 1837-1838 uprising.
