Saint Jean Baptiste in 2023

Today in 1968, Pierre Trudeau attends the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day parade in Montreal. While there, separatists throw rocks & bottles at him. His aides took cover, he stayed seated without moving. The image of his refusal to move would help him in the next day's federal election https://t.co/SHwyu4DKw1

Minister of Affairs Mélanie Joly and I are enjoying our taxpayer funded summer vacation by taking in the sunshine in a park in Quebec. As foreign minister, part of her job is to have picnic dates in Canada for Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day I am definitely still married to Sophie. https://t.co/kTrTwaUiVq

Today is the Fête Nationale du Québec and Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. Together, let’s celebrate the unique culture, identity, and achievements of Quebecers — and the contributions of Francophones across Canada. We will always be there to promote the French language. https://t.co/v3BaywKfvC

We’re also celebrating the contributions of Francophones and Francophone communities across Canada – and we’re celebrating the French language. We’ll continue to protect and promote this beautiful language, on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day and every day. https://t.co/28gaWQZ6Tb

Happy Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day to the Québécois in our glorious Dominion today! The first mention of celebrations of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in North America dates back to 1606. https://t.co/jhZk4C2bDP
