About twenty people of a certain age, not to say a certain age, are sitting here and there.
A handsome Brummel arrives dressed in a red coat.
” Hello friends! Are you happy to be here?
– Yes!!!
– You did well to have come in large numbers this afternoon, because I tell you that these days, the Liberal Party of Quebec is thriving! It percolates! The fun is over! As our interim leader said this week, our speech resonates in the hearts of people, in the hearts of all Quebecers!”
Applause from the crowd.
- Listen to the Martineau – Dutrizac meeting between Benoît Dutrizac and Richard Martineau via QUB :
OF THE GREAT VISIT
“Proof that the Liberal Party of Quebec has the wind in its sails, dear friends, at half past three, immediately after the performance of the Jeannot Trio who will offer us a beautiful polka, we are going to have a great visit. The former mayor of Montreal, Denis Coderre, will come and say hello to you, ladies and gentlemen! Isn’t that good news?”
Applause.
“When we tell you that things are happening at the doors of the Liberal Party, that’s not gossip! As I speak to you, our organizer is in contact with Evan Joanness, the famous singer of Rum, coconut and pineappleto ask him if he is not interested in running in the county of Roberval!”
Surprise reaction from some blue-haired ladies.
“But in the meantime, to recover from all these emotions, a little bingo! On your cards, let’s begin! B-23. B-23. N-6.N-6. G-32. G-32.
– Bingo!
– Oh no! I think you are in too much of a hurry, my beautiful Lorraine (laughs)! It must be said that the price today is particularly tempting! We went all out! The first person to shout Bingo will win a one-on-one dinner at the Royal Tandoori in Granby with former senator André Pratte!
– Who?
– André Pratte!
– Who is that?
– Uh… The former chief editorialist of The Press!
– Dubuc?
– No, the other…
–Foglia?
– No, not Foglia: André Pratte!
– Not know…
– He’s the one who’s going to get the party back on its feet! With Antoine Dionne-Charest, the son of Jean Charest!
– Ah, we love him!”

EVERYONE ON THE TRACK!
A few minutes later, the handsome Brummel returns to the spotlight.
“I have just been told behind the scenes that the county of Maskinongé has just been liberated, following the death of the churchwarden of the parish of St-Antoine-de-Padoue who was to appear there. Is anyone interested among you?”
Silence.
“Are you sure?”
Someone coughs in the background.
“No problem, think about it! Don’t forget there are chips and Kool-Aid on the table! And without further ado, we move on to the musical interlude with the organist Léandre and his brother-in-law, who will perform the great success of Nana Mouskouri, The time we have left! Don’t hesitate to take the dance floor by storm!
And tell your friends, the PLQ is back!”
