The book “Les Têtes brûlées: Notebooks of Punk Hopes” by Catherine Dorion has attracted widespread attention in the media and political circles since its publication on November 13th, particularly due to the author’s numerous criticisms of the co-owner speech of Quebec in solidarity.

In this second public appearance, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois has worked hard not to add fuel to the fire while still seeking signatures to denounce the underfunding of public transport.
“Publicly stirring up a conflict with Catherine is not something I want to do,” the elected official said at a press conference, surrounded by numerous colleagues. I don’t think the members of Québec Solidaire expect that from me as spokesperson.”
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, who noted that his name was mentioned more than fifty times in Catherine Dorion’s book, certainly does not want to become entangled in a latent war with the former member of his party, “beyond the disagreements that may arise .” they were [leurs]”.
“I won’t go into the individual elements, but what is important to me is that we need to hear Catherine’s words, they are important. “No one should come away from a political engagement so damaged in terms of their mental health,” he said.
Solidarity Congress in Quebec
Québec Solidaire members will meet for a conference in Gatineau on November 24th, 25th and 26th. During this event, they will be able to elect the new co-speaker who will succeed Manon Massé.
“I was very touched this week when I heard the three candidates for co-speaker with me pledge their support,” said Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. That gives me courage.”
“These are three women that I really like and respect a lot. I could work with any of these three women tomorrow morning,” he added.
The supporting MP will certainly want to put this saga behind him before the conference begins, but it would be surprising if the outcry sparked by Catherine Dorion’s hard-hitting book was completely forgotten by next week.
