Opinion courageuse
de M. Potasse-Molasse-Béasse-Constitutionnel,
sur la crise actuelle.
«Cependant le Pouvoir s’est peut-être trompé, en ce cas nous déplorerions son erreur, mais espérons que mieux éclairé, etc. etc. »
……. Vieux concombre !……
Bossuet.

Translation:
Courageous opinion from Mr. Potash-Molasses-Beasse-Constitutional about the present crisis:
“It might still be possible that the Government was mistaken, in which case we would deeply regret the error but we would hope to be able to explain any misunderstandings…”. What a nonsense… imbecile.
