THE WAR IN UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 22, 2023

THE WAR IN UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 - 
By Bernard Bujold -
What if the war in Ukraine had turned into a victory for Vladimir Putin in the fall of 2023, on Friday, September 22, in the Canadian Parliament, because of a 92-year-old man... In the history of mankind, it is the most anecdotal events that provoke the greatest tragedies. The ovation of a former Nazi soldier by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Canadian parliamentarians led by Justin Trudeau could be one of them.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IN 2023 -
By Bernard Bujold-
After a political chill with China and a direct diplomatic break with India, Justin Trudeau's government is now faced with a new scandal, that of Nazis from the Hitler era... A former Nazi soldier from a Ukrainian unit was given a standing ovation in Ottawa to greet Zelinsky's visit to the House of Commons on Friday, September 22, 2023. Jewish communities are demanding a public apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

THE AUTUMN 2023 SEASON: MEDIA, FACEBOOK AND PHOTOSHOP -

THE AUTUMN 2023 SEASON: MEDIA, FACEBOOK AND PHOTOSHOP - 
By Bernard Bujold -
The new Autumn 2023 season is well underway, and there are a number of changes in store. Firstly, in the media, as my inspiration in terms of newspaper owners will retire. Rupert Murdoch is giving way to his son. I've always had great admiration for Murdoch and have been a loyal reader of the Wall Street Journal since 1977. Another fall change is META (Facebook), which no longer allows media to promote their articles. Personally, this hasn't changed my habits, as there are several techniques for continuing to share press articles on Facebook... Finally, with autumn also comes the annual Photoshop update. This year's is exceptional, not to say magical! 
Happy Autumn 2023.

SUMMER 2023 - THE SEASON OF BOOKS...

SUMMER 2023 - THE SEASON OF BOOKS... 
By Bernard Bujold -
As the summer of 2023 draws to a close, it's fair to say that it's been the season of books for me! Indeed, I took advantage of the summer to publish my book THE JOURNALIST, in June, and then in July and August to transform several of the books I've written over the years into PDF format. 
I've written over a dozen books since 1978, many of them in digital format. In my opinion, a paper book is as mortal as the rest of us, whereas a digital book is, so to speak, eternal. 
The transformation of eight of my books into PDF format, in French and English, has enabled me to deposit them with the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec. This means they will be available for free reading in the catalog of the Grande Bibliothèque. You can also access them on my website and download the PDFs. 
There was a time when I used to visit the Grande Bibliothèque on a weekly basis, but now I prefer to visit it via the Internet. 
Have a great end of summer!
