La tuerie au Coll\u00c3\u00a8ge Dawson a donn\u00c3\u00a9 lieu \u00c3\u00a0 un cirque m\u00c3\u00a9diatique incroyable et souvent p\u00c3\u00a9nible \u00c3\u00a0 suivre. Pas facile, j’en conviens, de trouver le bon ton, la bonne dose et la bonne mani\u00c3\u00a8re de raconter quand on a l’impression que le public en demande toujours plus et quand la concurrence est forte entre les r\u00c3\u00a9seaux. Si j’en comprends bien cet article<\/a>, ce serait le Journal de Montr\u00c3\u00a9al qui aurait appris \u00c3\u00a0 la m\u00c3\u00a8re de Kimveer Gill que son fils \u00c3\u00a9tait le suspect, avant que les policiers ne se rendent \u00c3\u00a0 sa maison. Scoop incroyable. Bravo. M\u00c3\u00aame Le Devoir a publi\u00c3\u00a9 l’adresse enti\u00c3\u00a8re de la maison des parents du tueur. En quoi cette information est-elle essentielle au public? Et tous les journaux nous rapportent combien les parents de Gill sont harcel\u00c3\u00a9s par les m\u00c3\u00a9dias!<\/p>\n

Je croyais avoir lu le pire exemple de mauvais go\u00c3\u00bbt dans cet article de La Presse<\/a> qui se conclut par la phrase suivante:<\/p>\n

Anastasia De Sousa commen\u00c3\u00a7ait son premier trimestre en sciences humaines, profil commerce international. La trace rose que la jeune femme a laiss\u00c3\u00a9e dans toutes ses autres \u00c3\u00a9coles a vir\u00c3\u00a9e au rouge sang \u00c3\u00a0 Dawson, mercredi. »<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mais je n’avais rien vu. Je suis tomb\u00c3\u00a9e sur bien pire aujourd’hui dans le Globe and Mail. Vila de Metroblogging Montreal pointe<\/a> ce matin vers un article de Jan Wong<\/a> qui r\u00c3\u00a9ussit \u00c3\u00a0 bl\u00c3\u00a2mer les \u00c3\u00a9v\u00c3\u00a8nement \u00c3\u00a0 Dawson sur la loi 101 et les « pures laines ».<\/p>\n

« A lot of people are saying: Why does this always happen in Quebec? » says Jay Bryan, a business columnist for the Montreal Gazette, the city’s only English-language daily. « Three doesn’t mean anything. But three out of three in Quebec means something. »<\/p>\n

What many outsiders don’t realize is how alienating the decades-long linguistic struggle has been in the once-cosmopolitan city. It hasn’t just taken a toll on long-time anglophones, it’s affected immigrants, too. To be sure, the shootings in all three cases were carried out by mentally disturbed individuals. But what is also true is that in all three cases, the perpetrator was not pure laine, the argot for a « pure » francophone. Elsewhere, to talk of racial « purity » is repugnant. Not in Quebec. […]<\/p>\n

It isn’t known when Mr. Gill’s family arrived in Canada. But he attended English elementary and high schools in Montreal. That means he wasn’t a first-generation Canadian. Under the restrictions of Bill 101, the province’s infamous language law, that means at least one of his parents must have been educated in English elementary or high schools in Canada.To be sure, Mr. Lepine hated women, Mr. Fabrikant hated his engineering colleagues and Mr. Gill hated everyone. But all of them had been marginalized, in a society that valued pure laine. »<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

La chroniqueuse lance de telles affirmations sans pousser sa r\u00c3\u00a9flexion et son argumentation plus loin. Son texte continue comme si de rien n’\u00c3\u00a9tait, en racontant les \u00c3\u00a9v\u00c3\u00a8nements selon le point de vue de plusieurs personnes \u00c3\u00a0 l’int\u00c3\u00a9rieur du coll\u00c3\u00a8ge ce jour l\u00c3\u00a0 en lan\u00c3\u00a7ant elle-m\u00c3\u00aame quelques commentaires qui pourraient \u00c3\u00aatre vus comme racistes. <\/p>\n

Comment les r\u00c3\u00a9dacteurs en chef peuvent-ils laisser passer des choses pareilles? Trop press\u00c3\u00a9s? Trop contents de provoquer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
