WHERE IS GOD?

 

WHERE IS GOD? 
By Bernard Bujold -
I recently learned that my childhood church in Gaspésie will be transformed into a kind of community center with a gymnasium for the village school... Work on the transformation is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2026. I'm a little sad because it's another page in my life story that's going to disappear. Mind you, I'm no longer a practising Catholic, but I loved knowing that my childhood church was still God's home. I don't believe in the church, which I think is primarily a form of political organization, but I do believe in God! 
I grew up in the church presbytery because my aunt was the parish priest's housekeeper. The presbytery was my playground and the church a sort of sacred temple... If I have any consolation, it's knowing that at least the building won't be demolished. And as far as God is concerned, he doesn't really need a home, because it's said that he's everywhere...

THE SPRING BREAK 2026

SPRING BREAK WARRIORS 2026 -
By Bernard Bujold - 
March is spring break! For some, like me and the mascots (Ulysses, Argos, and Gus), spring break is an opportunity to fight winter and bring in spring. "WE ARE THE WARRIORS OF SPRING 2026!" 
But for students, March Break is simply a week off school or university, with dates varying from province to province. In Quebec (and New Brunswick), schools and universities will be closed from March 2 to 6, 2026; however, in other provinces, including Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, the vacations are scheduled from March 16 to 20. 
Have fun, but be vigilant and careful! In any case, don't forget that spring is on its way! www.lestudio1.com

THE WARS OF DONALD TRUMP

THE WARS OF DONALD TRUMP… 
BY BERNARD BUJOLD -
If some did not like Donald Trump before, one could say that Iran people love him now… 
Iranians around the world, outside Iran, are dancing in the street and dreaming of going back to their old country, free from dictatorship. The U.S. Central Command stated that strikes began at 1:15 a.m. Eastern Time (approx. 9:45 a.m. Tehran time) on February 28, 2026. This war is only beginning, but the United States is fully committed to finishing it as a winner. It is said that Donald Trump took a big gamble by killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran, a risk that Obama did not want to take. But it is also said that Trump could go down in history for having taken it as Roosevelt (Second World War) or Ronald Reagan (Berlin Wall).

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'S 2026 STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS -

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'S 2026 STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS -
By Bernard Bujold - 
The annual State of the Union address, delivered by the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, to a joint session of the United States Congress, will be a highly watched event. Personally, I will not be inside the Capitol in Washington, but I will be watching very closely on television with my three mascots (Ulysse, Argos, and Gus). The main issue in the 2026 speech should be the economy. The official theme of the speech, according to White House officials familiar with the draft, is “America at 250: Strong, Prosperous and Respected,” a reference to the 250th anniversary of the country’s founding. One will also be watching the US Olympic Ice Hockey team, which will be in the visitor special guests galleries. The State of the Union will start at 9 p.m. ET tonight, Tuesday, February 24.

OLYMPICS GAMES 2026

OLYMPICS GAMES 2026 - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
I've always had a soft spot for Italy, and I'm a big fan of Giorgia Meloni. So I loved the idea of holding the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. 
I particularly enjoyed the ice hockey game between Canada and the United States. It was a match of great quality, the likes of which you rarely see, with no disjointed play and two top-class teams. Unfortunately, Canada had to settle for the silver medal, which the players didn't really want... You could say that the goalkeepers decided the game. As for me, I'm going back to the gym with the mascots...

ICE RINK FOR SPRING 2026

ICE RINK FOR SPRING 2026-  
By Bernard Bujold- 
An ephemeral ice rink has been installed opposite the Place Ville Marie Oval, and will be open to the public free of charge from February 27 to March 29. A way to welcome the end of winter, and the arrival of spring... The rink (40' X 40') is small for a public skating rink and far from an Olympic ice, but the idea is interesting and the view magnificent! Of course, it cannot be crowded...

OLYMPICS ICE HOCKEY

OLYMPICS ICE HOCKEY 2026-
By Bernard Bujold - 
The USA wins a thriller game vs Canada for their first men’s hockey gold since 1980. Jack Hughes scored the game-winner at 1:41 in overtime to give Team U.S.A. a 2-1 win over Team Canada in the gold medal game in men's hockey at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina. Connor Hellebuyck showed why he was the U.S. starting goalie at the Olympics! The goaltending numbers for the USA's Connor Hellebuyck and Canada's Jordan Binnington made all the difference in the final game.

THE QUEBEC RACE 2026

THE QUEBEC 2026 RACE- 
By Bernard Bujold - 
The Quebec 2026 electoral racetrack is beginning to take shape, and the horses are starting to leave the stable... Of course, in politics, nothing can be taken for granted until the night that the votes are counted! Personally, just as I was beginning to discover and appreciate Pablo Rodriguez, he was the victim of a fatal putch. I'm still saddened by his departure, because I'm convinced that he had the makings of a winning horse on which I would have placed my bet! 
But now, a former journalist for whom I have a great deal of respect and esteem, Philippe Schnobb, has announced his candidacy, precisely in my riding... I have some good friends in the Liberal party, but I also admire Schnobb's style, and I'm sure he'll make an excellent MP. The race is next October 5, but we can already start evaluating the horses to choose our bet on race day!
