"That is not Quebec, we are not prefer that," Mourani focused on, including the region's picture "has taken a blow in the wake of this blunderingly displayed sanction."

 

Mourani has appropriated boundless uphold for her stance from different rounds and on Friday it rose that ex-PQ head Jacques Parizeau, the sweetheart of hardline sovereigntists, is behind her.

 

A political enemy from Ottawa likewise had kind expressions for her.
