“We had many conversations during the PQ leadership race. Discussions that were often tough but always enriching. A man with a sharp mind, totally dedicated to Quebec,” Guy Nantel also wrote.
“I think of his loved ones. Want or not, I think of us all. I think of Don Quixote who was going to knock down the mills of hypocrisy for Quebec, his nation. Without fear,” Bloc Quebecois leader, Yves-Francois Blanchet also shared.
