THE ART OF WINNING BY SERGE LOSIQUE - FFM 2017  By Bernard Bujold-  Serge Losique gave a real lesson on the art of winning with his WORLD FILM FESTIVAL 2017!  In a sense, we can compare Serge Losique, Pierre Karl Péladeau and Donald Trump because the three characters are out of the ordinary but above all they affirm their opinion beyond the "good thinking" often without filter and especially beyond the fear of disturbing with their ideas and dreams.  I did not cry of joy at the announcement of the rescue of the World Film Festival as I did during the election of Donald Trump in November 2016 but I felt a real sense of happiness facing the success of Serge Losique. I am proud of this builder and great defender of the cinema who is Losique and, despite a certain animosity towards him as an individual, I am also admiring the gesture done by Pierre Karl Peladeau for the Imperial Cinema, a gesture that is fitting perfectly with Quebecor's activities. Congratulation...

A BOOK ON POLITICS IN THE WORLD ...  By Bernard Bujold-  The title of the book is not attractive but the book will definitely become a classic in the same category as George Orwell's 1984 novel.   "THE MANDIBLES - A FAMILY 2029-2047" by Lionel Shriver is available in French but it was written in English. ​Shriver is the author of the book: "WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN".  The book Les Mandibles is perfectly related to the current political situation as much at the level of the Haitian migrants in Quebec as at the violence of Charlottesville in the United States. The novel ​The Mandibles ​begins with a reference ​to ​the landmark election in the history of the ​United States ​of the American President ​that was elected in​ the year 2016 (presumably it is Donald Trump...) but immediately the action of the book is transported in 2029 where the newly elected American President is of Latino race and he was not born in the United States (the Constitution was amen...

MCDONALD'S - 50 YEARS - By Bernard Bujold - My favorite restaurant is without a doubt the McDonald's.  From its beginnings in the 1970s, this restaurant was a source of inspiration for me because of its great economic success and also the family atmosphere.  I could not pass the anniversary day celebrating McDonald's 50 years in Canada and not to offer myself a delicious hamburger at 67 cents. In fact, I took three...  A pure delight! Yum! Yum! See story

THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN 2017 By Bernard Bujold - Photography has never been so popular, but it's not an era for professional photographers! Indeed, it can be said that today almost every human in society makes photography but rare are those who use a real camera. The most common working tool has become the phone, which is nothing more than a powerful laptop. If there was a time as to make good photos it required equipment of tens of thousands of dollars, today with a few hundred dollars one can match and even surpass professionals of the past. And the situation has not finished evolving because every year the suppliers present us new products even more efficient and advanced. Moreover, even with conventional cameras, devices without a mirror are eliminating from the market those with mirrors. Conclusion: Nothing lasts and everything just passes! Fortunately, history is a wheel that turns and repeats itself. One day, the photography of old times will return but, it is not for t...

RAFAEL NADAL AND THE EVENING OF AUGUST 10, 2017  By Bernard Bujold -  Sport is both the ultimate pleasure of human life as it can also be its extreme sadness...  The evening of August 10, 2017 will be for me a sad souvenir as it is also the end of the great joy and admiration that began on August 14, 2005!  Indeed, on August 14, 2005, Rafael Nadal (19 years) had created then his own legend by surpassing the other legend André Agassi at the Stade in Montréal and becoming the great champion of tennis of the last twelve years.  The evening of August 10, 2017 will be the one of his defeat before a very young newcomer, also a beginner of 18 years old... One could say that history repeats itself!  We will also remember the evening of August 10th, as the one where former hockey champion Wayne Gretzky will have lost his cell phone under the bleachers and that the ball riders have managed to find it back...  SEE PHOTOS ALBUM
