As a Quebecker who believes in Canada, I unfortunately get the impression that this situation and others help maintain the two solitudes. Anglophones have their things and francophones have theirs. We expect a little more from our national broadcaster. That's perhaps what disappointed many people on the committee, those who believe in Canada and who would like to do more for Canada and linguistic duality. People say “francophone” and they think “Quebec”, but it must also be understood that there are roughly one million francophones outside Quebec. Those people too would have liked to see the performances of francophone artists at the gala.
