The row rumbles on about Ségolène Royal’s remarks in favour of independance for Quebec. On Tuesday evening she repeated them loud and clear on Europe 1, a French radio station. Ten minutes ago the internet version of Le Monde published an interview with former Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien, who says: “On matters of Canadian unity I cannot remain silent….I am very disappointed by Mme Royal’s remarks on such a delicate and deeply Canadian matter. It’s an unforgiveable mistake, probably linked to inexperience……Those who do not have the vote in Canada should not interfere with Canadian affairs.”

According to a blog on Le Monde’s site, M. Chrétien has just been invited for dinner by Sarkozy’s UMP!
