DOLLARAMA OPENS ON NUNS ISLAND - 

By Bernard Bujold - 

The sun was out, the clientele was abundant and in good spirits, and the shelves were filled to the brim! You can find everything from food to household products, to gift items and flowers for the garden. 

We can conclude that the Dollarama adventure on Nun's Island was well launched on Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Long live this newcomer and goodbye to the good old days on the Island!

FRANÇOIS LEGAULT - THE CHAMPION

FRANÇOIS LEGAULT - THE CHAMPION -

By Bernard Bujold -

If the situation continues on October 3, 2022, François Legault will have to be considered one of the best politicians in the history of Quebec! Personally, I was convinced in 2018 that he would not hold up and that he would lose because he was running a totally out of character campaign, especially in his dealings with the media, but Legault had swept it all... He won 74 of 125 seats, giving him a solid majority. 

If yesterday's victory in Marie-Victorin is any indication, it will be another big sweep in the fall...

RAINY DAY AT THE GYM

RAINY DAY AT THE GYM - 

By Bernard Bujold - 

For a few weeks now, the gyms have been reopened and in the condos, reservations are no longer the rule. As a result, amateur athletes, or those who aspire to be, are flocking to the gym, especially on rainy days. I miss the good old days when confinement made the gym bookable, and it was a place of refuge and meditation. The good old days are just a memory!

THE THIRD WORLD WAR OF 2022

THE THIRD WORLD WAR OF 2022 -  

By Bernard Bujold - 

A war always begins from a small battle and become a total destruction. 

In the battle started in Ukraine, we have four players who by their action created the World War. At the front of the battle two characters a bit crazy who did not want to lose: Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy and on the sideline of the Russian Orthodox Patriarch and the NATO countries. 

By refusing to give up, Zelensky demonstrated that the Putin Army is not that strong but also demonstrated that the West and NATO are not very courageous. One could even say that NATO is almost sissy! 

The result: Third World War 2022...

The Quebec provincial elections on Monday, October 3, which was supposed to be an easy win for François Legault's team, could become an unwinnable campaign if the deadly tragedy at CHSLD HERON continues to grow with more and more evidence of negligence on the part of the government in power in March 2020.

THE SAQ IS MOVING...

THE SAQ IS MOVING... -

By Bernard Bujold-

My favorite SAQ store closed its doors without even asking me... I loved the atmosphere of the SAQ at 440 de Maisonneuve West near The Bay. The old-fashioned style of the building gave it a "wine cellar" look and the selection of products was unmatched in Montreal! 

This branch moved across the street to a modern building in a much smaller space. As my father used to say, "Nothing lasts forever..."

VLADIMIR PUTIN READING LIST -

VLADIMIR PUTIN READING LIST- 

By Bernard Bujold -Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Anton Chekhov on one side of Russian thinking; Mikhail Sholokhov on the other. These two traditions—Chekhov’s and Sholokhov’s, the one that appreciates the suffering of others and the one that focuses on one’s own injury and insult—form the Russian dialogue and inspire Vladimir Putin. This explains the war in Ukraine. Their thinking is different than the one in the West.
