Ya knoooow, much as I "dislike" some of the the PQ policies, it was not necessary to use "subjects" in place of "citizens". I believe the wording was intended to stir up shit and also that those who chose the wording are as much to blame as the PQ for the esuing shitstorm. I mean really, even the Brits didn't use the term "subjects" in their letter of condolence from Parliament.

BTW, there was never any doubt that Jean would be there.
