THE VACCINE PASSPORT AND CIVILIZATION IN 2022 -


THE VACCINE PASSPORT AND CIVILIZATION IN 2022 - 
By Bernard Bujold -
The obligation to present the vaccine passport at the entrance of the big merchants (January 24, 2022) greatly complicates the trade, but it is that, or the complete closure of the trade as in 2020. In conclusion, the coronavirus will have transformed civilization into a kind of descent into the unknown. 
I remember in 1973 that MARSHALL McLUHAN predicted that with the invention of computers all the office towers would be transformed into retirement homes and condos. Civilization has proven him right, but it is a virus that has caused the change and not computers... 
Hopefully, survival will be at the end of our descent.

PAUL TERRIEN (1949-2022) -

PAUL TERRIEN (1949-2022) - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Paul Terrien ( 72 years old ) , former journalist for Le Droit newspaper, political attaché and defender of the Francophonie is no more! 
I knew Paul in Ottawa in 1984 when he was a member of Brian Mulroney's inner circle. Terrien was not of Acadian origin, like me, but his French ancestors had settled on the Ile d'Orléans as early as 1656. We both had ancestors going back to the beginning of the French colony of Quebec and that brought us together. 
I lost direct contact with Paul in the mid-1990s but continued to follow his career from a distance in the media. Another one from the good old days who is leaving this world...

Jean-Claude Lord died penniless, hoping for a call that would have revived his career, a call that never came...
