Most unilingual Anglophones left Sherbrooke and The Eastern Townships beginning in 1976 with the coming to power of Levesque and the PQ (BTW - even Renee Levesque would not have been this insensitive and obtuse in such a situation) but it is disingenuous Liberal spin to claim that Sherbrooke is almost purely French.

This is a red herring in any case.

The crux of the matter is what is the real purpose of this Listening To Canadians Tour?  

Is it as claimed - an opportunity for Trudeau to listen to the real concerns of Canadians and to respond substantively and helpfully if he can?

Or is it just another campaign con in which Trudeau goes around reciting the same vague, simplistic, unhelpful talking points in his fake sincerity and bonhomie fashion?

He had no interest in helping this woman or even responding in a language she understood.

He could care less about her, he was playing to the crowd.

So its really the I'll Hold The Bullhorn And You'll Listen Tour.
