RIP Zoobizarre
piratedamour:
Pourquoi? Tu étais le seul bar ou je pouvais sortir à Montréal sans avoir des crises de panique, tu as vu mon premier concert alors que je savais à peine parler aux gens en public, et tu vas vraiment me manquer. Tu as su être immortalisé (i.e. clip Danse la poutine, Omnikrom-TTC) et tu as su inspirer. Tu te mérites une chanson. Et tu ne resteras pas mort dans le coeur des...

Tout le monde en parle : Ingrid Betancourt →
Rares sont ceux qui ont connu un cauchemar comparable à celui qu’a vécu l’ex-prisonnière des Forces Armées Révolutionnaires colombiennes, Ingrid Betancourt. Aujourd’hui libérée de corps, l’ancienne sénatrice garde par contre l’esprit bien ciblé sur la corruption dont elle a été témoin et victime. Elle évoque, à fleur de peau, son parcours de courageuse militante.

Voix féminine forte, image médiatique racoleuse et radieuse, la jeune romancière, dont le style radical fut acclamé par la critique et ses nombreux lecteurs, s’est élancée vers l’abîme jeudi, à Montréal. Nelly Arcan [née sous le nom d’Isabelle Fortier] avait 36 ans. Je l’ai vue il y a trois semaines, en prévision de la sortie de son quatrième roman, Paradis, clef en main....

Gaddafi's Oddest Idea: Abolish Switzerland →
The newspapers abound with tongue-in-cheek comments from readers not only questioning Gaddafi’s sanity but also wondering how Switzerland would be divided up if the Libyan leader’s motion were to be taken seriously. “Who is going to get the Matterthorn?” one reader asks in the Lausanne daily Le Matin. “Linguistically it belongs to Germany but geographically it borders...

The Only Tourist In Havana Turns His Thoughts...
Come, my brothers, let us govern Canada, let us find our serious heads, let us dump asbestos on the White House, let us make the French talk English, not only here but everywhere, let us torture the Senate individually until they confess, let us purge the New Party, let us encourage the dark races so they’ll be lenient when they take over, let us make the CBC talk English, let us all lean in...

Expecting flu assistance, native reserves get body... →

indieandyy:
It’s hard to care about every cancer, disease, or disorder out there without a personal reason to fight it. There are some that are discussed more than others: in October people participate in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you’ve seen the pink ribbons, go to the baseball games, etc.; we hear about skin cancer and lung cancer all the time when connected to the hazards of UV...
Laval life →
Abritant 376 845 âmes et presque autant de Honda Civic, Laval est la troisième ville la plus populeuse du Québec, la Mecque des porteurs de t-shirts Ed Hardy, mais aussi et surtout le lieu d’origine de Frédéric Guindon.
