THE GASPE PENINSULA OF MY CHILDHOOD...

THE GASPE PENINSULA OF MY CHILDHOOD
By Bernard Bujold -
Often in the evening, when I fall asleep, I dream of the Gaspésie of my childhood...
A sad awakening this morning (September 30, 2020) while reading in Le Devoir that the small region of the Baie des Chaleurs is the one most affected by cases of Coronavirus compared to the rest of Quebec!
Seems that the sweet memory of my native "Gaspésie" is only a memory and far from the reality of 2020...

President Trump on Saturday announced he has chosen Amy Coney Barrett as his pick to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- a move that could significantly shift the nation's highest court to the right if she's confirmed by the Senate.

REPORT ON THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

REPORT ON THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS - 

By Bernard Bujold- 

The investigation report on the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is available online and the Ministry intends to change the law to better control the use of its grant. 

Moreover, according to my reading of Daniel Beaupré's report, Pierre Bourgie would be in conflict of interest to hold the presidency of the museum because of his music room (Article 9 of the report on page 16 and paragraph 2.3 on page 31). The new president may have to resign even before being appointed.

JOSÉE BLANCHETTE AND HER NEW NOVEL : MON (JEUNE) AMANT FRANÇAIS

JOSÉE BLANCHETTE - MON (JEUNE) AMANT FRANÇAIS-

By Bernard Bujold - 

To change from my political readings and the Coronvirus depression, I read Josee Blanchette's new novel: "MY (YOUNG) FRENCH LOVER" (written in French). 

I have never been a fan of Chick Literature romance novels but Josee's book is written more as a biography of modern life and the challenge of love between two people. Josée's book reads like one of her Le Devoir chronicles, in the same style of writing, but spread over 223 pages. 

I personally loved it and had a great time!
