Politicians

Vincent Marissal is the political columnist at La Presse and he is probably my favorite one. I find him to be very neutral and he criticizes all political parties equally. He published a book recently called Nos amis les politiciens (our friends the politicians) in which he did portraits of different politicians he met throughout the years. In his book, I had the impression that he was less neutral than he is in his column. You can sense that he doesn't believe in Quebec independence. He has some funny stories on a lot of politicians. However, I found his book to be somewhat repetitive. When anecdotes involve a few politicians, the story is repeated in each politician's chapter. Of course, this allows the reader to pick up the book and choose which politician he wants to learn more about, without having to read the whole book from beginning to end.
