Thanks to To have to for the interview he gave me this week. I would like to make a few clarifications. I don’t claim to have been misquoted. No way. I understand that you can’t write everything in an article based on a fairly long interview.
I think that indeed, my father, René Lévesque, would not have demonized the movements associated with “wokisme”, because he was a progressive. I probably should have insisted more when I added that he would still have expressed reservations. He would surely have deplored certain excesses which mean, for example, that a certain wokism no longer has much to do with that embodied by Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King in the 1960s. at the limit, with communitarianism, with one form or another of reverse racism or, which is not much better, with self-inflicted ghettoization.
Moreover, it’s true, my father would most likely have had a chemistry with Québec solidaire. However, and this is what I was wrong not to add, he would not have applauded the extremists who prevented their own leaders from talking to the militants and sympathizers of the Parti Québécois, whom they liberally slandered , few years ago.
My father was a supporter of dialogue and, as a result, of an inclusive society.
