Excellent points concerning the grammar, you are correct - it seems I was thinking in English. However, I hardly think that using French words - which are not international for a Canadian, even in southern Ontario - lends me or any other an "air of desperation". In south-western Ontario this may be called pretentious, but where languages mix freely it is simply another mode of expression.
First point: Mars, the god of war, was once Mars, the god of the fields. This shift from the agrarian to the militaristic courtesy of the Roman Empire, where/when folk like you wouldn't have dared publicly question such an unimportant point beside such news.
Second point: Mars the planète and Mars the month are spelled alike in French for a reason.
Third point: Can you name a more prominent and obvious place in Montréal to celebrate what would be such a glorious moment in Canadian history? Go jump in the Saguenay.
Fourth point: If we achieve this, I'll stand in whatsoever place of public celebration I please, thou hairy, small-minded batard.
