THE SPIRIT OF DONALD TRUMP -

by Bernard Bujold - 
Personally my favorite candidate in the race for the American presidency is Donald Trump... Trump for me, it's a virtual friend that I have known since the 1980s. I first discovered him in his father's biography and then in his own books. 
 His political project in 2016 is not what makes me admire him and, in a sense, his political campaign amuses me a little but Donald's presence and inspiration in my life story is for me what is for other the Beatles, Beethoven, Elvis Presley or the Dalai-Lama... 
Philosophy and the professional example of Donald Trump were behind my efforts and my confidence in soliciting and obtaining my work with Brian Mulroney in Ottawa in 1984; and later with Pierre Péladeau father in 1991. In both cases, I was motivated in my actions by the model in my mind of the success and life of this American Donald Trump. 
Will Donald win his bet for the US presidency? The race is on and we will know this summer in July and by 8 November at the general election. But whatever happens, I will continue to admire Donald Trump and he will always be present in my memory and in my success of life ...

By Bernard Bujold (LeStudio1) -
It's next Saturday August 15, 2015 that will be celebrated by the Mayor of Quebec City, Régis Labeaume, marriage between Julie Snyder and Pierre Karl Péladeau. It was also another mayor, Nicolas Sarkozy (Neuilly sur Seine), who had celebrated the first marriage of PKP. 
We note two important missing guest at Saturday's party: Celine Dion, on the side of Julie and Brian Mulroney, on the side of PKP. Only one international star was announced, Michel Drucker. 
The temperature should be favorable to married with sunshine on the Old Quebec and 25 Celsius.

DONALD TRUMP

BY BERNARD BUJOLD (LeStudio1) - 
Some people are saying that Donald Trump is not a serious politician? 
What is politics? A question without an answer! 
Personally, if I was in my 20-30 again, I would like Trump very much! 
When I watch him, it remember me the time around 1980. The energy was special! 
For one, the McDonald's restaurants were very popular in Canada and an economic leader around the world; and Brian Mulroney was saying that the government must change. 
Trump is talking outside the box in a way like Mulroney in 1984. 
But Trump might be a bit way to much at the right and he might finish like Ross Perot and Sarah Palin. 
One thing for sure: Trump is outside the box! 
By the way, the definition of a politician in the dictionary is this: "... a person skilled in political government or administration; statesman or stateswoman; an expert in politics or political government; a person who seeks to gain power or advancement within an organization in ways that are generally disapproved...." The word origin is from France around 1580.
The best definition of the politician I have seen (suggested by my friend Eric Weider) was a comment Nikita Khrushchev made to Nixon: “If people believe there’s an imaginary river out there, you don’t tell them there’s no river there. You build an imaginary bridge over the imaginary river.”

PIERRE KARL PÉLADEAU AND QUEBEC POLITICS

By Bernard Bujold (LeStudio1) - 
The political climate in Quebec may return to the atmosphere from 1995 to the time when the referendum occupied all the media and public space. It will be recalled that the clans baffles were deep and harsh. One was for or against, but never neutral! 
Today in 2014, we can already feel, and increasingly around the path of Pierre-Karl Peladeau, that cleavage is being established again between the pro-independence and pro-federalists in Quebec.
I have already started receiving several calls in private or on my various social websites, reminding me that I should or I should not, support the son of Pierre Peladeau in his new political project for independence. Some of my correspondents are strongly in favor of PKP, others are deeply against him. Many are also quite curious about the secrets that I might have about the son of the founder of Quebecor... 
First let me be clear that I am not an enemy of PKP, nor his friend. So I look at his journey from the stands. 
I have always said that Pierre-Karl Peladeau is smarter than the average person and has successfully established himself in the management of Quebecor although those who had taken the place of Pierre Peladeau after his death did not want to give him the power. I am thinking of the old guard like Jean Neveu and Charles Albert Poissant. This is also in this war that I found myself when just days after the death of Pierre Peladeau, Jean Neveu had summoned me to his office to confirm that he wanted absolutely no business with me at the "new" Quebecor! Not even to take care of the parking garage... 
There's the part of the story about my little secret, among others, for the curious! 
Now on Pierre-Karl Peladeau, if I had been PKP, it is certain that I would have stayed in the management of Quebecor because he was the boss at a private empire. He chose politics and there is a whole world between business and politics. His father refused to solicit printing contracts with the government and he often said that democracy had nothing to do with business. 
I could see that for myself when I entered his service. I arrived from Ottawa being with Brian Mulroney. In politics, we get up in the morning and our agenda is influenced by the media and the news of the day. In business, the agenda is controlled by the one who owns the door handles... 
In politics, journalists always want to show that what the politician says is false; in business, journalists usually publish without questioning the company press releases. 
But the son of the founder of Quebecor decided to get into the political arena and he will fight. It will be a very exciting event to watch because PKP is in as aspiring champion. A high-level sports competition is always an enjoyable event to follow. 
As for my secret about PKP and Quebecor, it is the Omerta, at least for now... 
To be continued!!
