THE WORLD FILM FESTIVAL AND SERGE LOSIQUE- 2019  By Bernard Bujold - If there is one event that has made my life in recent decades more culturally enriching, it is the Montreal World Film Festival.  I started attending the event as a spectator in the early 1990s when the festivities were in full swing Montreal and the opening party was held with all the fireworks at the Mont Royal chalet. Later, in the early 2000s, I covered the FFM as a journalist.

DESTINATION PLANET MARS - 2019  By Bernard Bujold - After the Moon in 1969, in 2019 explorers are targeting the planet Mars! If it takes about 4 days to reach the Moon, it will take 6 months to reach Mars. President Donald Trump would like NASA to reach Mars by 2024, but some experts believe it will take until 2040 to achieve the feat with humans. Anyway: "Humanity is on the way to new adventures..."!  SEE PHOTOS
