[edit] Origin and identity
I recently removed Category:Quebec journalists from the article. Hébert was born in Ottawa, and has spent her life and career between Toronto and Ottawa (both in Ontario). In this Radio-Canada interview she explains how she self-identifies as a Franco-Ontarian. Quote: «Mes collègues me prennent tous pour une Québécoise. Cette méprise me sert pour couvrir la politique.» ("My colleagues always take me for a Quebecker. This mistake is often useful to me when reporting on politics.") Cleduc 20:44, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- She does identify as franco-ontarienne, although if you listen to the interview with her on rbo she mentions how she lived in Hull(QC) for the first few years of her life. Dan Carkner 02:22, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed she does. However, it isn't where she was born, and it isn't where she says she's "from". I think "Quebec journalist" would be misleading, in that light. Cleduc 04:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Does "Québec journalist" mean a journalist born in Québec, a journalist who currently lives in Québec, a journalist whose work is frequently centered on Québec and its social/political issues, or a journalist whose services have been and still are retained by Québec-based news organizations? By the first 2 criteria she's not a Québec journalist, and by the last 2 she is. -- WikiPedant 20:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- She also lives in montreal by her own definition "for the rest of her life"..Dan Carkner 22:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
