Scandal envelops soccer team hire
CF Montreal hired as the new coach of its reserve team one Sandro Grande, who’s on record as saying that the only mistake made by Richard Bain on his 2012 attack on the Parti Québécois victory party was that he had missed his target. Not surprisingly, the PQ is angry about this. Radio‑Canada has also dug up a story from 2009 of Grande grabbing a teammate by the throat when he was playing for the Impact at that time.
As noted below by GC, Grande has already been given the heave‑ho.

It rankles me that the remark about the assassination and the anti-sovereignist remarks are being implied to be equivalent by some of those leaders. The former is far worse.
