Altercation with a CBC cameraman
On July 9, 1969, Éthier hit a
crown corporation. At this, Primerous replied "but is it a bilingual country?" Éthier thought this response was insolent, especially two days after the adoption of the Official Languages Act, and he was not able to hold back his fist.[2]
