A NEW LIFE

A NEW LIFE— 
By Bernard Bujold - 
It’s done—I finally sold my city condo! Selling real estate is an art, and according to Donald Trump (an expert in the field), this art relies entirely on “good timing” and nothing else… So you have to know how to seize the moment when it comes! According to Donald, cashing in on a real estate investment can take anywhere from two weeks to two years. It all depends on the timing… 
In my case, however, I still have to wait a little while longer before leaving the city for good to move to the countryside—even though the condo has been sold. Professional and personal obligations currently require me to maintain quick and easy in-person access to Montreal’s urban environment… To that end, I’ve decided to temporarily rent another condo in the same neighborhood to better prepare for my move toward new adventures and a new life entirely in the countryside. 
Have a great fall 2026 and happy voting in the October 5 election!

MARK CARNEY - THE WINNER

QUEBEC ELECTIONS 2026- 
By Bernard Bujold - 
Premier Mark Carney is a true champion, and he proved it by winning all three by-elections held on Monday, August 31, in Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. Mark and I have different visions for how a political election campaign should be organized. Mark is methodical, whereas I, when I was in politics in Brian Mulroney’s cabinet in 1984, was instinctive. In English, this style is called “shooting from the hip.” Donald Trump uses my strategy… 
According to Mark, to win an election, you need a precise plan, and he has clearly proven that his formula works. I have a great deal of admiration and respect for Mark, and I proudly display on my desk the birthday gift he sent me last June. The question is: will the five leaders in the Quebec election campaign act in Mark’s style or mine… Mark doesn’t want to say who he’d like to see as premier, but we know he doesn’t favor the Parti Québécois! His support—even if it’s discreet and indirect—could influence the outcome of the vote. Will he support Christine Fréchette or Charles Milliard? If we manage to get a clue about his support, we’ll be better able to predict who will win the election on October 5. 
A story to watch…
