THE SAGOUINE BY VIOLA LEGER (1930-2023)-

By Bernard Bujold - 
Another character from my era has just left... 
I discovered the Sagouine through Radio-Canada television in 1976. The character played by Viola Léger (1930-2023) did not connect with me in terms of her way of life but her speech was identical to the one of my two Acadian grandparents who lived in the Baie des Chaleurs. The life of the Acadians of Caraquet, where La Sagouine originated, is influenced by the sea and fishing, while the Acadians of the Baie des Chaleurs are influenced by agriculture and the forest. 
I met Viola Léger a few times when she was living in Montreal. She was a sweet and generous woman. She was born on a June 29th and me on a 28th...

THE LIFE OF A DOG -

ULYSSE'S NEW FRIEND... 
By Bernard Bujold -
Ulysses loves to meet new friends, even in winter, but he thought it was a joke when he was told that a purebred dog like Loulou de Poméranie (German Spiz) was worth $4,000 to buy... Well, it's true! Today, a dog is worth between 2,500$ and 5,000$ on the market, and you have to add the annual maintenance fees of 4,000$ more (accessories, veterinarian, grooming, etc.)! 
The life of a dog has become a life of wealth... Have a good winter 2023!

BILL CLINTON AND MONICA -

BILL CLINTON AND MONICA -
By Bernard Bujold -
It was 25 years ago, on January 17, 1998, that the Bill Clinton sex scandal was made public in the media. President Clinton denied having had sex with Monica Lewinsky, because the legal definition of sexual relationship include giving oral sex but not "receiving"... Monica performed oral sex on Bill Clinton 7 times, including in the Oval Office.

WEALTH AND POVERTY IN 2023...

WEALTH AND POVERTY IN 2023-

By Bernard Bujold - 

I was reading this morning (Monday, January 16) in the media that some community organizations wish for 2023 the elimination of individual wealth and, consequently, of rich people... A kind of Woke philosophy oriented towards the economy... 

They would need (those organizations) to read Shakespeare! "...There is a wave on the ocean of life, which if caught at the right moment on the shore will lead the ship to new lands new lands full of hope and promises, but if the wave is missed then it will be failure and misery... William Shakespeare - (Text Julius Caesar) 

Humanity is ultimately a collection of pebbles on the beach. There are small pebbles and gigantic rocks. We have to recognize who we are and adapt our lives accordingly to our destiny!
