At 9:32 a.m. EDT, Apollo 11 launched from Florida, taking commander Neil Armstrong, lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin and command module pilot Michael Collins on a mission for the history books – a mission to become the first humans to land on another celestial body.

THE PARK IN THE CITY

THE PARK IN THE CITY... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
 It was in 1992 and Paul Desmarais Sr. had just inaugurated a small park next to the building of his newspaper La Presse at the corner of Notre-Dame and St-Laurent. Pierre Péladeau was jealous of this park and asked me to ask the director of La Presse, who was a personal friend from my time as a journalist (Claude Masson 1941-1999), about the costs of such a project. 
In 2019, all these people must turn in their graves because the pretty and romantic little park has changed its vocation. Once a European-style luxury symbol inspired by Power Corp.'s decoration at the World Trade Centre, today the park has become a simple resting place for the homeless in the neighbourhood and a few tourists lost in Old Montreal....

JUST TO LAUGHS AT THE DOLLARAMA

JUST TO LAUGHS AT THE DOLLARAMA...
By Bernard Bujold - 
Just for laughs no longer has Gilbert Rozon in his entourage but we can wonder what he thinks of the presence of his mascot VICTOR (a creation by the artist Vittorio) that can now be purchased in DOLLARAMA stores... There is a small version for $2 and a bigger one for $4! 
Have a nice Just for Laughs festival from July 10 to 28.

LAND IN SIGHT Sea of Life...
