WatchSymphonie Locass
Documentaire sur le groupe Loco Locass dans une aventure avec des jeunes durant un camp musical. L’espace d’une passionnante semaine d’août 2005, un orchestre de 70 musiciens, réunissant jeunes campeurs et professionnels bénévoles, a délaissé Mozart et Bach pour jouer les compositions syncopées du populaire groupe Loco Locass. Une aventure inédite si réussie qu’elle sera répétée...

Her message is clear: disarmament cannot be postponed. Archival film footage of the bombing of Hiroshima and images of its survivors seven months after the attack heighten the...

Exaspérés, les 253 employés en lock-out du Journal de Montréal ont fait un bref saut dans la salle de rédaction mercredi après-midi durant une manifestation soulignant le sixième mois de leur conflit. Ils ont manifesté bruyamment, mais pacifiquement, durant quelques minutes.
Le mouvement de foule s’est produit vers 16h, alors que les employés en lock-out assistaient à un point de presse du...

During a protest at a park across from the Montreal office, dozens of locked-out employees marched across the street and entered the building.
Breaking a court injunction that forbids them to be on the grounds of Le Journal de Montreal offices, some...
Dear Quebec
smashley:
You just sent me my tax forms. I sent you my tax documents in JANUARY. So a)it is retarded that it took you this long to figure your shit out
b) when I phoned in May, I was told that they hadn’t been processed yet. However, this says that I owe interest as of the filing in MARCH 2009. Disagree.
c) I am pretty sure I sent you 2 years of tax returns. You only sent me back 1. 1 of...

littleorphanammo:
I just got back from my holidaze in Kelowna, BC (my parents actually took pity on our forthcoming bus trip and drove us the 9 hours back to Missoula, turned immediately around and went back to Canada. That is love, folks.) It was wondrous, exhausting, magical, hilarious, emotional and not long enough. Wineries, beaches, wine on the patio, and too much food. My tumblarity is...

Also worth repeating:
Entrees. Here is a secret: The filet at Old Green Lady is one of the best in town. Amazing char on it and a silken interior. Plus ole bearnaise and his buddy marchand du vin are options if you go this route. Other gems...

The Senate on Thursday approved the most sweeping expansion of federal hate crimes law since Congress responded four decades ago to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
The legislation, backed by President Barack Obama, would extend federal protections granted under the 1968 hate crimes law to cover those physically attacked because of their gender, sexual orientation,...

ebk:
a shot of whiskey per tylenol does make you forget you were in a bike accident and that your knee has taken on its own area code.
Also, REALLY BAD for your liver. Keep the whiskey but switch your analgesics.

Gov. Bobby Jindal vetoes bill to ban guns near... →
At the request of the National Rifle Association, Gov. Bobby Jindal has vetoed a bill that would have made it a crime to illegally carry firearms within 1,000 feet of a sanctioned parade or demonstration.
Ugh, laws that are fucking awesome: Making it legal to combine public nudity, public intoxication and public gun-carrying. Because nobody has ever been shot during a parade on St. Charles...

Today, my girlfriend’s mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML

lilyna:
Girl was at a lost with my situation. Turns out I should “incorporate myself and my potential services” in Canada because “we don’t care what you do there”. Then I can sell my “specialty” (Translation? Correction? French teacher extraordinaire?) via Montreal ( ? ) Or find an employer that will petition for me and defend my uniqueness in the USA. Ugh.
Rethinking this whole...

I am a successful fiftysomething woman, in love with a fellow who tokes high-powered cannabis morning, noon and night. He’s always high and suffers from memory loss and emotional irregularity. He withdraws for days at a time if I so much as look at him in a way that suggests he has a deficiency (his word not mine). Otherwise he’s perfect The sex is wonderful. And he’s attractive...
