DONALD TRUMP THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 9, 2016  By Bernard Bujold   It was 2 years ago on the morning of November 9, 2016 that US citizens and the whole World woke up to learn that the new President of the United States was Donald J. Trump. It was the beginning of a new era and a new style in politics, the « non politically correct ».  Personally I predicted the victory of Donald Trump at the very beginning of the race in June 2015 and I was, and still am, very happy with the result. The morning of November 9, 2016 was for me the arrival of a new beautiful day!  SEE STORY

DONALD TRUMP VS JIM ACOSTA  By Bernard Bujold - A journalist must report the news of an event he observes and never become the event!  The White House should have removed its accreditation to Jim Acosta for a long time because the goal of this reporter is to cause the creation of an event from his personal behavior.  In Canada and Quebec, a character like Acosta would never be accredited either at La Tribune de la Presse in Quebec City or at the Press Gallery in Ottawa!  SEE PHOTOS

US MIDTERM ELECTIONS 2018 (NOVEMBER 6) - By Bernard Bujold - For President Donald TRUMP it was the Senate he wanted to protect and he won.  The Senate is responsible for confirming the President's appointments and bills.  Moreover, and this is important, any attempt to demand impeachment by Congress will be blocked by the Senate which has the final word on any proposal in this sense by the Congress. Donald Trump did not have enough time to campaign for the hundreds of congressional candidates and he chose the Senate.  Another good sign for him and his power to convince voters is that all the Senate candidates he supported and for whom he held rallies won, including the important Florida seat.  In addition, all the new elected Republican Senators will be loyal to Donald, which was not the case with the former Senate, like Senator John McCain...  Now Donald will be able to start his 2020 campaign in order to win the next presidential election.  In c...

BERNARD LANDRY (1937-2018)  By Bernard Bujold -  Bernard Landry was a nice character and had politics in his soul!  I first knew him in 1977 when I was a young journalist at the National Assembly of Quebec. It was the beautiful era of René Lévesque and Bernard Landry was recognized as one of the Prime Minister's right hands. Landry was also known for his great kindness and sense of humor.  I came back in contact with Bernard Landry in the late 1990s when I was the assistant to Quebecor Founding President Pierre Péladeau. I often acted as a "messenger" between the two men and Landry has always shown great ethics and politeness. I remember an event where I proposed to the Prime Minister to pick him up in Quebec City and take him to Sainte-Adèle at Péladeau's residence with the Quebecor helicopter for a social event. Landry had thanked me for the offer, but he had immediately refused, saying that Quebec could afford to transport his Prime Minister... He had also ki...

DONALD TRUMP AND MOZART ...  By Bernard Bujold- My next-door neighbor, who is an intellectual in his spare time, asked me why I was more or less concerned about the November 6 US elections since I am a fan of Donald Tump.  For me, the mid-term elections are like everyday anecdotes. When I listen to Mozart's music, I'm not necessarily interested in the mechanics of the orchestra playing music, but hearing it is enough to warm my soul.  This is so with Donald Trump. For me, to know that Donald Trump exists in time is enough to comfort my soul, much like listening to Mozart's music. But I do not live my life according to each of the gestures surrounding Donald.  My neighbor was "down to the ground" by my explanation...  This same neighbor had already asked before who I identified with in the Donald's entourage. I told him that if there was a character that looks like me, in a way, it would be Steve Bannon but I'm happy to be me, and I'm proud of be...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2018 -  By Bernard Bujold-  Halloween is a folk festival celebrated on the evening of October 31, the eve of the The Christian holiday of All Saints. Halloween was introduced in the United States and Canada after the massive influx of Irish and Scottish emigrants following the Great Famine in Ireland (1845-1851), and has been gaining popularity since the 1920s.  Tradition has it that kids dress up in scary costumes like ghosts, witches, monsters or vampires and go door-to-door asking for treats: "Trick or treat!". The evening can also be marked by bonfires, fireworks, games, reading horror tales or viewing horror films.  Personally, I invited some of my friend politicians to the cottage and together we will tell each other beautiful stories...  Bouuuuuuuuuuu!  SEE PHOTO ALBUM
