DONALD TRUMP INSULTED BY JUSTIN TRUDEAU

DONALD TRUMP INSULTED BY JUSTIN TRUDEAU 
By Bernard Bujold - 
US President Donald Trump considers the Canadian Prime Minister "dishonest & weak" because Justin Trudeau was very kind and said he was open to negotiating when he was in front of Trump and when Donald left, Justin was indignant about of the economic measures by the United States and verbally said so to the journalists calling those measures insulting.
Donald Trump was disappointed by Trudeau's behavior and plans to increase economic measures against Canada. He also refused to sign the joint press release proposed by the G7.
Justin had the signed press release in his hand and he boasted about the success of the summit...
It can be concluded that Justin should have been more discreet and only say that negotiations were continuing without fueling the fire... 
It's like football when Tom Brady dropped the ball and lost the Super Bowl after the failed play. 
Rather than calm the trade war, Justin Trudeau has just increased it! 
To be continued!

LIFE IN 2018

LIFE IN 2018 -
By Bernard Bujold-
The suicides of media personalities Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade are a shock for many and such events are sad because they have no reason to be. Suicide never has its reason for being! 
Personally, I already thought of suicide once, several years ago, but the time to plan it made me forget the project... 
I like to say that I have lived so far six lives since my birth because I died, morally, at least 5 times on the occasion of divorce, death of parents, project failures, physical accident, etc. But after each of my moral deaths, there has always been a rebirth and disappearance of problems from the previous life. 
I have had many proofs that suicide is never the solution to the problems of life and I will only mention the most recent evidence, which came in 2016 with the election of Donald Trump.Indeed, I felt such a happiness to the soul after the victory of Donald that I told myself that if I had committed suicide, at the time of my suicidal thought, I would never have lived this great happiness of 2016 and to live such happiness was well worth it! I wish you to know such a state of mind one day, to all of you.

LIFE ON THE BALCONY IN THE CITY-

LIFE ON THE BALCONY IN THE CITY - 
By Bernard Bujold - 
A resident of Old Montreal lived the perfect happiness when she bought her condo about ten years ago with a magnificent balcony-terrace whose view on the city was incomparable with three cardinal points! 
But now the owner of the small parcel of land (formerly a small parking lot) located right in front of the balcony decided to build the wing of his own condo building. The once breathtaking view from the terrace has become a view on a brick wall! 
There remains the view of a small garden in front of the building and there will never be construction on this land because the garden is used to cover a municipal sewer...

THE FIRE SEASON ...

THE FIRE SEASON...
By Bernard Bujold -
With the approach of the summer season also comes the fire season... on balcony. Indeed more and more high rise buildings are victims of fires caused by forgotten cigarettes in flower pots! The fertilizer in flower pots is a material that ignites like gasoline.
After the newspaper Le Devoir, another building in Old Montreal last Sunday (June 3, 2018) was evacuated in the middle of the night for a fire that had been lit on a roof terrace. 
Worse than the fire is the stress and fear of the residents thrown to the street at the beginning of the night. If the fire can be quickly controlled by firefighters, the stress, the danger of falling and the fear are not and can sometimes be more dangerous than the fire...

MARTINE OUELLET AND THE ART OF GIVING UP

MARTINE OUELLET AND THE ART OF GIVING UP 
By Bernard Bujold- 
Politician Martine Ouellet reminds me of Hillary Clinton who does not yet accept her defeat during the 2016 US election... 
Bloc Québécois leader Martine Ouellet used more than 20 minutes at the start of her press conference (Monday, June 4, 2018) to criticize and blame other Bloc Québécois leaders or members of Parliament for treason against her before saying that she will resign as of June 11 (miracle could happen by then...).
In politics as in life, we win or lose but we have to accept the result and as we say: "Switch to another call ..." 
What I do not understand in Martine Ouellet case is her relentlessness. She broke her health and lost some beautiful time of her life (see picture before and after) while for several months she must had seen that the game was played over her head. "It was all over her head! ". 
In life one have to recognize the battles you can not win and choose another fight. Great leaders fight only for struggles they can win, often winning in advance. It's called survival instinct!
