Yanick Lehoux se joint au CH Max Pacioretty signe avec le Canadien Brisebois souhaite revenir avec le CH Le premier match du CH le 10 octobre Ryan O’Byrne sous contrat Montréal est prête pour le repêchage True journalism pros would have gone with "TOUT MONTRÉAL" and not with the feminine take of the city (even though, in French, a city - une ville - is a feminine word...) because doing it this way makes the uneducated immediately think it is okay to say "prête" (or "prette" really - as it spells itself out in their minds) on EVERY occasion... Such as "le diner est prette" and "les travaux sont prettes" - yikes! RDS (RIS -not as in LOL, no - READ ON...) failed miserably in its role to educate and give out a PRIME example on how to SPEAK properly, there... But there is worse where that came from... A...

To those who *dared* infer that my preference for ALAIN SOUCHON over PAUL McCARTNEY for "artiste de choix" on this Sunday, for (supposedly) THE big "show of shows" for this 400th anniversary of the foundation of Québec City ongoing (sigh) celebration (seems to be going on and on forever already - ENOUGH, ALREADY!) well - I can only say this... HA! I wanted Souchon because he could have sung THE most perfect song for this occasion - a song that seems tailor-made indeed and to be destined to embody the SPIRIT OF QUÉBEC INDEED! That song is... LES REGRETS! The song has this line early on in it: "j'ai perdu mon allégresse / sur des bateaux de conquête" - and that alone embodies the ambiance that surrounded the very foundation of Québec City four-hundred years ago, if you ask me!!! But noooooooooooo - some (or many... make that MOST!) do not want to hear THE TRUTH! Well, well, well - look at what the French, the very city of Québec and all the other moro...

Souveraineté au 400e (04/07/08) Souveraineté au 400e (04/07/08) - C’est la controverse autour d’une déclaration du premier ministre français François Fillion lors des cérémonies du 400e en parlant du Québec comme un pays. Hmm... The true scandalous thing to say, to rain on their queer Quebecker parade, would have been to say that this so-called "nation" is nothing but a historical MISTAKE...! To hear the same tired crap (allegations that it is, in fact, some sort of legitimate nation) is simply not what I'd call "controversy" - at all. It is merely pure FOLLY. The French know follies well too, of course - so it isn't surprising one bit that it comes from one of them, amusingly AFTER the Paris-Match GAFFE showing that they don't even know much about Québec, over there - certainly not enough to warrant France's support of it - AT ALL. Note that it is the Sarkozy (he whom I call "sarcophagus breath" - sorry, Carla Bruni, to see you kiss that...
