502...Apparently Vanier Is A Voisinage

I seem to have touched a wee nerve with post 499 which was about a wedding that turned out badly in the United Kingdom. I believe I called it a very Vanier wedding.
deBeauxOs said... Your uncritical fawning over Mayor O'Brien is mildly irritating but this unwarranted dig at Vanier (a voisinage of Ottawa) ... remind me what it is you think about yourself as being progressive?
For those of you who do not know Vanier, a voisinage in Ottawa [voisinage is the uppity way of saying quartier which is the french way of saying neighbourhood which is the white way of saying 'hood], is a colourful voisinage/quartier/neighbourhood/'hood just east of the Rideau River in Ottawa.
It has a lovely strip club, The Playmate, a number of by the hour motels [I believe the Concorde Motel, 333 Montreal is the jewel in that realm, n'est pas?], the hookers and johns to support such, a thriving crack cocaine industry and many pawn shops. Plus a crime rate that exceeds that of the rest of our bucolic capital.
Nonetheless, I am sure Mr. deBeauxOs sees things differently than I do and I apologize for upseting his progressive applecart.
I will try to subscribe to group think in the future and I thank you for pointing out my foibles.

As for fawning over Mayor O'Brien, no, not to challenge your literacy skills and reading comprehension but I don't believe I have done that, sir, all I have said is that he is going to get acquitted.
