Can live with that, but this is why I don't like him :
Some years ago when I was studying Politics at the university (UQAC) in many class we invite some "political" personality for class conference and discussion. Some interesting people came : Jacques Parizeau, John Saul, Michel Chossudovsky (2 times), an American delegate from the US ambassade and some French political philosopher (I've forget their name). But no Mr. Facal and we have tried 3 times, the students of an university at Chicoutimi are not important enough for him...
He doesn't have just a scornful tone of voice, the rest of the personality go with it
