ALINE CHRÉTIEN (1936-2020) -  Aline Chrétien, wife of Jean Chrétien, the former Prime Minister of Canada, died Saturday at the age of 84 at her home on Lac des Piles. I liked Mrs. Chrétien and for me she was the ideal woman: a perfect wife; a mother like any child could want; and more.  I am sad for her departure but even sadder for Jean Chrétien who adored his wife. How will he survive her absence? I offer him my deepest thoughts of encouragement...  https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/politique/2020-09-13/aline-chretien-epouse-de-jean-chretien-est-decedee.php

VIOLENCE IN OLD MONTREAL -  By Bernard Bujold -  Old Montreal has become a violent and, let's say, dangerous place...  The shootings first started a few weeks ago in front of Notre-Dame Basilica, to the point of worrying the residents, but now we find them in front of the Clock Tower...  Indeed, on Sunday, September 14, 2020, around 2 a.m., a shooting in the Old Port near Quai de l'Horloge resulted in five wounded, including a police officer.  What is the solution?  The faithful Ulysses believes that it will take a return to the valiant Iroquois and their arrows to fight the evil bandits...  To be continued!  SEE PRESS REPORTS AND PHOTOS  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=bernard.bujold&set=a.10164303594930541

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001  By Bernard Bujold- It was on the sunny morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. I was going for a coffee and saw the airplane hitting the World Trade Center. I thought that it was another TV stunt...  It was not! It was the reality!  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks

LOUIS GARNEAU'S BIKE - By Bernard Bujold -   About ten years ago, I bought a LOUIS GARNEAU bike. At the time, the brand was the pride on the bike paths and the bikes made by Garneau were of excellent quality. In 2020, I'm still enjoying my bike that I love but the brand has lost some of its glory...  Indeed, the company's financial problems may force its closure? Or I will have to hide the colors on my bike or ride around with what will have become a collector's item (an antique).  But one thing is definite, my bike is a faithful frame that I still love dearly...  SEE REPORT LOUIS GARNEAU  https://www.journaldequebec.com/2020/08/25/grosses-pertes-pour-certains-creanciers-de-louis-garneau

  KNOW HOW TO RELAX -  By Bernard Bujold -  Josée Blanchette's column in Le Devoir this Friday, September 4, 2020, talks about the need to let go and relax from daily stress as she did this summer isolated from her city. She calls her concept "Therapy in the Clouds".   Personally, I apply the same concept of clouds but in the American fashion... My concept is called, by the Americans: "The Nature Pill". Taking 20 minutes a day, alone in a place that we like and that calms us, is the fundamental basis of this concept. A kind of urban garden, in my case.  In both concepts, the objective is the same: to get off the bus before falling down!  SEE COLUMN Josee Blanchette  https://www.ledevoir.com/opinion/chroniques/585358/therapie-dans-les-nuages     SEE STORY ON THE NATURE PILL RELAXATION CONCEPT https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2019/10/31/study-just-20-minutes-of-contact-with-nature-lowers-stress-hormone-levels/?fbclid=IwAR0TOmP1yI_...
