sobre historia de canada ver explicación abajo Explanation: Después de hacerle demasiadas preguntas, el perdió el control, se volvió loco, flipó, etc. En la primera parte no dice que hizo después, pero por lo que dice en la segunda oración, me imaginó que se avalanzó sobre la persona que lo estaba molestando y lo trató de estrangular. No creo que lo haya matado o algo así. |

sobre historia de canada sobre historia de canada Explanation: Eye - February 22, 1996 STRANGLING THE MESSENGER by GREG BOYD On Thursday, Feb. 15, Prime Minister Jean Chrtien took a hands-on approach in dealing with a protester at a federal propaganda event. While walking through a crowd Chrtien came face to face with Bill Clennett, a 44-year-old Quebecer shouting "You should be out of work!" Without slowing his pace much, Chrtien put one hand on Clennett's throat, another on the back of his head and pushed the scrawny activist away. Clennett was jumped by confused bodyguards, but immediately released. Reaction split along language lines, as most French-speaking commentators declared the Prime Minister to have behaved like a hooligan. In English Canada the majority opinion was that Chrtien had been protecting himself from a perceived threat. (The only significant deviation from this party line came from some TV commentators.) It was a masterpiece of blaming the victim, aided and abetted by the tin-plated patriotism of the press. Take this brilliant headline from the following day's Toronto Sun: "Now, Bring On Bouchard: PM roughs up separatist protester in scuffle at Flag Day ceremony." Only one problem. Sure, Clennett is a separatist. (An anglophone separatist, in fact, although he shouted at Chrtien in French.) But he and his cohorts were trade unionists protesting the government's $2 billion cuts to unemployment programs |
