Jakub Dobes’ cries send shockwaves through parliament

By necessity, it’s a subject that’s been the talk of the town. In the Montreal sports world this morning, it’s the subject of the hour concerning the Canadiens.

But it’s also a topic that goes beyond the world of sports.

As journalist Geneviève Lajoie reports, the former Minister of Social Services and Mental Health Issues, Lionel Carmant, is worried about Dobes.

On social networks, he posted a message asking for attention to be paid to his mental health. He wants the goalkeeper to speak out, as anxiety can affect high-level athletes.

Lionel Carmant is now an independent MP.

Clearly, there’s a certain cry for help in Dobes’ cries. Bursting out like this publicly was probably not his goal when the cameras panned out in front of him.

I wonder, internally, how Dobes’ reaction was perceived. But I’m sure he’ll find an ear to listen, considering this isn’t 1973.

To be continued.
