the Separatism seminar: the pre-O.N.A.N. Separatist record

The history the switch reversed, catalogued: "The Meech Lake and Charlottetown revolts. The Crétien assassination. 'Notre Rai Pays.'" — a separatism whose terror was "especially directed at Ottawa," whose threats ran "Or we irradiate Winnipeg. Or we put a railroad-spike through Crétien's eye." The railroad-spike detail ties the pre-O.N.A.N. anti-Canadian era directly to the signature's later recurrences (097's Bertraund — A.F.R. work — and the 083 spike-header) — the same tactic, redirected from Ottawa's VIPs to O.N.A.N.'s. The grievance is continuous; only its target moved.
