The adventures of a Tilley hat...

Last summer, a female friend gave me a Tilley hat to thank me for my help during her visit to Montreal. The friend went back and I wore the hat on several occasions during the summer. Then two or three people have remarked that the hat was too small for my size! I let the comment go away, except that I told myself that this year I would check the facts.
I first visited the shop in the Bonsecours Market, which sells hats. The saleswoman told me that indeed the hat was too small but I had to contact the company directly and she handed me a brochure. So I contacted Tilley to explain the situation and reminding them that in their advertising, they guarantee customer satisfaction for life. They even write that some owners of Tilley transmit their hats in their testament ... The phone operator of Tilley explained that however, despite the publicity, after one year, there was no way to correct my situation and that the best would be "simply" to give the hat too small and to buy a new model ($ 80). She also invited me to visit their corporate store located in Brossard. So I decided to visit the shop Tilley hoping at Dix 30 wishing to obtain a better understanding but no, it was the same negative response.
Finally, I "simply" removed the label Tilley from the hat that I threw in the dustbin of my parking, but I kept the label to not to forget my disappointment with this brand!
In my case, the legacy will be a label and Summer 2011 will be without a hat!

A Member of Parliament who has style - Ruth Ellen Brosseau

The mysterious NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau, has finally come in his riding and met with municipal officials to greet them.
Ruth has style and it feels a bit like Julie Couillard who had been noticed during his associations with the Minister Maxime Bernier.
Moreover, it is a pity that Julie did not think of it because she would have been an excellent candidate for the NDP. No doubt she would have won her election!

Family stories from Richard Branson to Arnold Scharzenegger and up to Dr. Guy Turcotte...

Parents often put high expectations of achievement in the fate of their children but it is the failure that is at the meeting place.
In contrast, when sometimes all the clues seem to indicate a failure, is the exceptional success.
The history of the family of Richard Branson is a success story out standard despite a poor start while the fate of Dr. Guy Turcotte is also exceptional but on the side of the tragedy even so if all indices at the starting were favorable.
And there are successes, like the marriage of Arnold Schwarzenegger which last for 25 years but end in simple failure without any tragedy.
Those stories are the proof that the future is rarely predictable ...

The story of Shania Twain and the tragedy of Dr Guy Turcotte

The story of singer Shania Twain strangely resembles that of Dr. Guy Turcotte and tragedy occurred in Quebec.

Shania Twain did not kill her son, unlike Turcotte who killed his two children, but lost his voice. In both cases, it's madness caused by the betrayal of one partner with the best friend of the couple who transformed behavior. Fortunately in the case of Shania, the conclusion is more romantic because it married spouse of his best friend with whom her husband had cheated ...
Shania Twain's autobiography is a fascinating book and very inspiring. A must read!
