. I’ve often complained about Freezingland’s winters. In all honesty, I’m just being whiny about it, because quite frankly most of us are used to the cold. We don’t enjoy it, but we can stand it. And here’s the proof. Chéri and I were just going to the shopping mall to get a few things…… Continue reading If you ever doubted…
. Tonight, I had to go to the convenience store. Nothing to get excited about, I’ll give you that. But the weather-lady had been saying how comfortable the temperature was outside all day, and I had to admit, a little walk around the neighbourhood to get some fresh air was tempting. Us Freezinglanders get used…… Continue reading Little walk…
. As you might know, I don’t usually risk myself when it comes to political issues. Simply because I am clever enough to recognize that I don’t know enough about it to give my opinion. There are so many other things to talk about anyway, right? But today, I can’t stay silent. Tonight, Ottawa (our…… Continue reading Oh! Canada…
. How dare you Wave the flag of Freedom Over your head… Crying over rights You never lost, Liberties never taken. You claim to fight A tyranny that Doesn’t exists, and Stomp on the Very bases of democracy… How dare you say You represent Our country’s might? Just because You speak louder, Doesn’t mean that…… Continue reading How dare you?
I was invited (well, not personally, but still…) to join the Fandango’s Friday Flashback! Fandango scrolls back, every Friday, and gives a second chance to a post he had published on the same date, years before. I thought it was a great way to remember some of the stuff I did a while back, and I…… Continue reading Forgive me, for having forgotten your name… (September 10th FFF)

. Tonight, Montréal will be on fire (hopefully not literally). The last time the Canadiens, our hockey team, made it to the Stanley Cup final was back in 1993. Twenty eight years is a long time, especially when you are the team who won the the most cups (24, followed by Toronto’s Maple Leaves who…… Continue reading Go Habs Go!
Well, it is official, we’re getting another summer… We just started our first heat wave of the season, and with a felt temperature of 40 C (about 104 F), you can’t imagine how glad I am, not to have to cook tonight. We’re ordering in tonight, watching the playoff game, and sweating our lives. 40…… Continue reading Kickin’ covers…
Today was a day to forget. For one thing, I woke up past noon, which means that I really had some sleep to catch up on. It was my only day off this week, having to do two overtime shifts, one yesterday, and one tomorrow. I felt under the weather. Nothing serious, but I just…… Continue reading Kickin’ covers…
Last week, I came across a documentary about a rather dark episode of Montréal’s history. In the fifties and the sixties, hundreds of patient of the Allan Memorial Institute (above picture) were used as guinea pigs for extensive experimental researches. Dr Ewen Cameron was known to be the best Canadian psychiatrist back then, and he…… Continue reading Dark times…
