DOES GOD EXISTS?  by Bernard Bujold-  The universal questioning: Does God exist? The two fundamental questions by humans facing God: "What is the origin of the universe and how life began on earth; and the most important: where do we go after our human life?"  The debate about God is divided into two groups: those who believe in an eternal god and those who believe in pure science.  Dan Brown's new novel "ORIGIN" uses this questioning between God and science to develop the story of his book.  In fact, his novel focuses on the advances of the computer vis-à-vis humans, in particular the voice recognition. The many chapters of the book on artificial intelligence are profoundly captivating for technology lovers, but will terrorize the humanists and those who believe in the supremacy of the human.  The novel does not offer a definitive answer to the questioning of God but Dan Brown shows us an obvious fact: the machine is already capable of replacing the...

CHRISTYNA PELLETIER is back in town  By Bernard Bujold -  Former restaurateur Christyna Pelletier (SOUPÇON COCHON), and one of my friends on Facebook, had to close her excellent restaurant a few months ago.  I have just learned that she is now involved in development and public relations for "Parrainage Civique  Montreal", a self-help group that supports people with intellectual disabilities in their integration and participation in society.  Christyna is organizing a first fundraising evening under the theme ZOMBIES on Friday, October 13th!  TV host Chantal Lamarre will be in attendance as well as Italian singer Marco Calliari, who is also the compagnon of Christyna ...  The evening will be in partnership with the Expression Italia dance school and more than 20 members with intellectual disabilities will perform a choreography adapted from Thriller (Michael Jackson) in order to charm the team of judges of the evening.  DANSE.O.TOWN aims to...

LUC LAVOIE AND HIS SERIOUS MISTAKE...  By Bernard Bujold -  The columnist Luc Lavoie made a serious mistake and it is not his joke but his immediate apology!  Indeed, by writing on his Facebook that his comment was odious, he came to give credibility to the vague accusations from his opponents on Internet networks. His response demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the current techniques surrounding social media, which is rather surprising for the expert than he is in the field of traditional media.  I knew Luc Lavoie in many moments during my former lives: first in Ottawa where he was a parliamentary correspondent and I was an assistant with Brian Mulroney; in Montreal at National when he was a partner of Luc Beauregard and me the communications manager at Quebecor; and finally directly to Quebecor when he took over my position of Director of Communications with Pierre-Karl Péladeau while I had previously held the same position but for the founding f...

THE FUTURE OF NEWSPAPERS IN 2017...  By Bernard Bujold -  The leaders of the major Quebec media are rising to the barricades with regard to the lack of government support for the print media!  We have to face up to the fact that paper medias are a thing of the past and we are in another reality.  Personally, I grew up with newspapers but it was the great blackness compared to today. I remember as a young journalist and when the fax machine was making its debut. It took an eternity to send his texts and it is without considering the photographs on films that had to be developed ...  Today, information has never been more democratic and accessible to all! In the past, if you did not have access to the mainstream media, you could not communicate with the population.  The US election campaign of 2016 proved that social media is pure democracy! Today, the whole world is accessible through Twitter, Facebook and Google.  It is true that newspapers hav...
