PARADE OF JUSTIN TRUDEAU- MONTREAL PRIDE 2016

-


By Bernard Bujold-(Sunday August 14, 2016) 
Rene Angelil always said that one must let the star come last to the show after a good warm up of the crowd. 
Justin Trudeau has proved that sometimes it is better to start the parade ... 
The annual parade of the 2016 Montreal Pride had to gather several politicians and display demonstrations by whole community but in reality there were two parades: the one by Justin and the other... 
So much that the police had early on to change the game plan and to create an square insulating Justin and placing the other politicians in front or behind the square. This is called "frame the star" (to box the target) " 
Needless to the other politicians who wanted to compete Justin; he was "THE STAR"! Personally, the only other star that I remember attracting the crowds like that is Celine Dion. You should have heard the crowd (about 300,000) on the sides of the Boulevard René Lévesque (from St-Mathieu to Hôtel-de-ville) yelling "JUSTIN" and to mention that they thought him handsome and that they loved him... 
Even CELINE would not have been more popular...

By Bernard Bujold -  Montreal Art Gallery GOT is presenting a unique exhibition of pictures by STEVE MCMURRY (born in 1950), the widely known US Photographer.  McCurry career was launched in 1984 when, disguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled areas of Afghanistan just before the Soviet invasion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes. Those images, which were published around the world, were among the first to show the conflict.   The picture of the "Afghan girl" is considered a classic in modern photography. McCurry took the portrait of "Afghan Girl" in a refugee camp near Peshawar, Pakistan. The shooting lasted for only about 2 minutes and he took about 10 to 15 pictures. One of the image was however published in the National Geographic magazine and the girl face became famous as the cover photograph on the June 1985 issue. The identity of the girl remained unknown for over 17 years until 2002 when Mc...

THE STORY OF LIFE - THE HOUSE OF SCORTA

By Bernard Bujold -  I just finished reading the novel by Laurent Gaudé: THE HOUSE OF SCORTA.  A french novel published in 2004 (Prix Goncourt) but I had not read it before...  I would say that this is one of the best books I have ever read in life, at least as to its depth look at human life.  The history of this little novel lies in a family of Southern Italy and makes us understand the deeper meaning of life, its successes, its failures and its conclusion, death.  If there is one conclusion is that the olives are eternal...  Photo 1 and 2: Images of southern Italy; Photo 3: Cover of the book; See description of the book ;
