Flegmatic? Rather, I was frugal with my comments thinking by now my readers knew I don't expect much historical accuracy from the federal government anyways (see, for example, my take on the Seven Years' War commemoration). However, the friendly backlash I got from many readers regarding my post will encourage me to carefully lay out my full opinions in the future... I totally agree with you regarding this representation of Frontenac and its lack of accuracy and rather fanciful depiction of his "ghostly legend". As far as I can tell from living in Québec, the haunting of the hotel is nothing more than a tongue-in-cheek story to wow tourists (as are most of Québec's modern ghost stories regarding Champlain or the victims of the plains of Abraham as well...). In fact, Frontenac's ghost story doesn't even register on the radar of the two local ghost tour companies [well, at least the last times I took their tours]. This should suffice to prove that the tale of his so called spectral presence is really not ingrained in local lore, contrary to what Post Canada says.
