Quebec demonstrate against Will and Kate
Will and Kate arrived in Quebec to boos from anit monarchy demonstrators...However:

  • Describing himself as a Quebec separatist, Guy Ebacher affectionately held up a cardboard cut-out, shaped like a heart, picturing William’s late mother, Diana, at the centre of it. “I wanted Prince William to see that, in Quebec, his mother is loved and remembered and it’s my personal homage and tribute to Diana,” he said, standing on a crowded, blocked-off street. “I had to do it, I really had to.”
  • Historical Note: The British system, from the 18th century onward, helped create a space in North America where French could survive. “If we were in the United States we would be like Louisiana,” he said. “The monarchy has allowed us to protect our identity.”
