What if US Election is a tie?

By Bernard Bujold (LeStudio1.com) - Assuming no rogue electors and a tie outcome, then under the 12th Amendment of the Constitution, the task of sending someone to the Oval Office falls to Congress. The House of Representatives chooses the president; the Senate chooses the vice-president. 
Mitt Romney could be President with Joe Biden as the Vice-President!

Gaétan Frigon - Candidate Mayor of Montreal

By Bernard Bujold (leStudio1.com) - 
Gaétan Frigon is the perfect profile to run for mayor of Montreal. The interview on the french program Les Francs Tireurs summarizes the character that looks at several levels like the mayor of Quebec. One handicap: his age! Is a leader who will be 73 during the 2013 elections is too old to serve as mayor of Montreal? That's the only issue, because otherwise Gaétan Frigon is the perfect candidate!

TRIBUTE TO RENÉ LÉVESQUE (1922-1987)

By Bernard Bujold (LeStudio1.com) - 
RENE LEVESQUE died on 1 November 1987. 
I have known this politician during three periods of my life. 
First, in 1977 at the National Assembly of Quebec when I was young parliamentary correspondent. Because Rene and I were from the Gaspé Peninsula (New Carlisle him and me St. Simeon of Bonaventure) we had one thing in common when we crossed paths in the corridors of the National Assembly. He loved to tell me about the Gaspésie and in particular he knew Geneviève Bujold... Then I get to know René through Pierre Peladeau for which I was the personal assistant from 1991 to 1996. Peladeau was a personal friend and very close to René Lévesque. He often spoke with me about his discussions between him and Rene on the edge of his swimming pool in St-Adèle. Finally, I worked on a project to protect and enhance the birthplace of René Lévesque in New Carlisle. This project was not successful but I had the opportunity to discuss with Corinne Côté-Lévesque. 
René was a man with many weaknesses, but he had a great moral honesty, and he believed in democracy. I remember one day when I wanted to ask him a question about a small topic related to the Gaspé Peninsula. I was embarrassed to ask the question in front of other journalists and I approached René after the conference. He told me to ask my question in front of the other even if it was not an important issue. I should not feel smaller than the other reporter even from large medias... 
René believed in democracy and human justice. He was a great politician, but to me it was mostly a great journalist, probably the biggest I've seen in my career!

According to some rumors close to the political environment, it is the police authorities who would have suggested to the mayor of Laval to withdraw due to health reasons because they are up to the points to file serious accusations with supporting evidence against the mayor, which would lead to his arrest. They wanted to avoid arrest at the City Hall. Note that the Laval police is not participating in the inquiry.
