Pauline Marois (the new Premier of Quebec) consults a fortune teller.
Concentrating hard, the fortune teller closes her eyes and tells Marois:
"I see you moving down a grand boulevard, in an open-roofed car, and the crowds are shouting Hurrahs!"
Pauline Marois smiles and asks:
"So, the crowd is happy?"
"Yes, like you wouldn't believe!"
"And there are people running behind my car?"
"Yes, they are surrounding the car, and they're all going crazy. The police are having a hard time clearing the way for your car and managing the crowd."
"The people are waving flags?"
"Yes, they are waving the Quebec flag and holding up banners expressing words of hope for a better future."
"Really? And the crowds are cheering and celebrating?"
"Yes, the crowd is marching along, chanting 'Now, at last, things will be better!'
"And what about me? - How am I reacting to all of this?"
"I can't tell."
"Why is that?"
"The coffin is closed."
