Taking about changes let me just expose that John’s blog has been, in recent years, one of the most refreshing and interesting episodes in public affairs analysis. I frankly believe John Parizella brought a different way of exposing and provoking viewpoints in a non-conflict approach. For sure, he who enjoys talking with so much conviction about change in the US politics has brought himself changes in looking at things the way he did, and for sure, many journalists here and abroad could learn a lot from John. With a bit of sadness I realize today with the announcement of his last blog that we are about to turn the page on the last chapter of a good book. Looking at it in an egoist point of view, it appears that we unfortunately loose a good and steady reporter and chronicler of American public life as a consequence as his appointment as Québec attaché in New York. But looking at it with some perspectives, every one gained in having someone as competent as John, as “représentant” of Québec in the states, not only for Quebecers but also for all those Canadians and Americans interested in democracy.

Tank you John and lot of success in your new appointment.
