THE WORLD OF POLITICS -
By Bernard Bujold -
Politics lovers will be lucky over the next three years!
Indeed, during the autumns of 2019, 2020 and 2021, we will be entitled to three high-caliber election campaigns.
First on October 21st this year, in Canada, Justin Trudeau will put on challenge his title of Prime Minister.
Next year on November 3rd, 2020, it will be President Donald Trump's turn to face his opponents and probably to win another four-year term as President of the United States.
Finally, on November 7th, 2021, the Mayor of Montreal, Valérie Plante, would normally face the old Mayor Denis Coderre, who’s many observers are awaiting a return to the municipal political arena.
Politics lovers can start their own projections now!
Personally, I predict a defeat of Justin Trudeau in 2019; a Donald Trump victory in 2020; and a return to the town hall of Denis Coderre in 2021.
To be continued.

THE BEAUTIFUL STORIES OF "LES PAYS D'EN HAUT"
By Bernard Bujold -
I am a fan of Radio Canada's TV series "Les pays d'en haut", the modern version.
As Josée Blanchette wrote in her Le Devoir column on Friday, February 22, 2019, the series also reminds me of the reality of my childhood told in my case, not by my grandfather, but by my father who was a lumberjacks.
The sets of the TV series are also not far from the scenery of my childhood in my native Gaspésie (Baie des Chaleurs), late 50s and early 60. A time when in the rural campaign, the lack of resources incited invention and where three peoples rubbed shoulders: the French-born French Quebecers, the English and the Indians (in Gaspésie it was Maria's reserve).
We were very far, in the countryside, from the multiculturalism that we know today throughout Quebec, including Gaspésie.
Was it the beautiful era? Hard to say, but it was "the time" and it was my childhood, which was for me one of the most beautiful moments of my life, because I thought I could change the world with all the romanticism of childhood . It's also a bit like the same romanticism displayed by the characters in the TV series.
But the romanticism becomes, as we get older, old history and beautiful for television series...
