20090427. At Brossard's library, a brand new bust of Mahatma Gandhi. The ultimate pacifist.
From the city's website: «A BUST OF GANDHI offered to Brossard. On January 30, the members of the Municipal Council,along with several political figures, representatives from the Indian community, and the High Commissioner of India in Ottawa, unveiled a bust in the memory of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. This bust is a gift of the Republic of India to the City of Brossard as a reminder of the fraternity and understanding that tie peoples across borders. A quote inscribed on the sculpture perfectly encapsulates the Mahatma’s philosophy: “You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”»
