Katrime Curling Pool Winners Les Vatcher of Woodside won the second event with a score of 95 for the Black Rocks while the first event remains unsettled after an 11-2 result for the Red Cocks. The piece notes the St Jean Baptiste Society endorsing Quebec autonomy, a shift elevating separatism to a real political possibility and speculates on impacts if Quebec secedes, including Trudeau losing his seat and major party seat shifts in Parliament.
