american challange

In the end, Obama won. Better, in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure that everybody is expecting from him another good four-year term. All over the world.

Obviously, being the USA President is not a easy role to play. Pondering its plural population, their fears and demands, on the top of all the rest of the planet, such responsibility becomes evident!

They believe being in the control of others issues, above everything else... even the truth, good and evil, etc etc etc. After all, they decide by themselves which governments should fall (despite chosen democratically by local people), who deserves to live, to die, among other outrages.

Good luck, Mr. President. Do your best!

While there's life, there's hope...

it all ended in poutine

Still about election process... I just got to know (through Ênquete) Pierre Poutine, a remarkable character of Canada politics.

A commonly known, as everybody else. Just a restrict group of people was acquainted with him, personally, bodily - only who created him, his identity. Actually, doesn't matter how many people were involved... the fact is that his fonction was executed: finger in Canada Federal Election last year.

This figure contracted the service of robocalls which reached more than 8 thousand voters. Because of it, these citizens reveived false information about where perform their democratical right of voting.

It was not (so) massive, but for sure that made any difference in the results. I just don't understand why they haven't cancelled this polling, making it over, appropriately. Well, honestly, I grasped their reasons... It was not interesting for Stephen Harper, who guaranteed his third consecutive victory.

I'm VERY surprise that this kind of cheap trick happens here.

Check the program out. It's really good.

poutine = pizza

In Brazil, we are used to say that things always end in "pizza", meaning 'nothing'. 

Not in elections (which are electronic there, in the bargain: a worldwide model), but in case of Mensalão scandal, differ from what has happened nowadays in Quebec with politicians involved in corruption, who are dismissaling "voluntarily" (due to Charbonneau Commission), Brazilian president at that time would be deposed. Without a doubt!

Merely for conniving (even if not participating), besides not doing anything against the corruption system estabilished, it would be enough for an "GET OUT!". Well, it would be something! 

Better for Lula that things are still smoother there... (more tolerant population)
 

V pour Vendetta

L'occasion est parfaite: le 5 novembre.

Pour ceux qui n'ont pas regardé le film, voici une brève explication:

V, le protagoniste (à propos: mon héros préféré!), mène une vendetta personnelle contre le gouvernement fasciste au pouvoir à Londres. La date pour qu'elle ait lieu n'été pas choisi au hasard: est inspirée par «la nuit de Guy Fawkes», également nommée «la nuit des feux de joie», célébrant la Conspiration des poudres du 5 novembre 1605. 

Dans les deux moments, ils visaient d'exploser le Parlement de Westminster comme une façon d'opposition au système - avant, le religieux; après, le politique - le but du vengeur masqué de la bande dessinée de Marvel.

graffiti peint au 22 octobre à l'école

dans la vraie vie...

À cause de menaces de fusillade évoquées sur les réseaux sociaux, une école secondaire à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu a été fermée ce matin.

Sur des murs de la Polyvalente Marcel Landry, des graffitis peints évoquent la date d'aujourd'hui. Possiblement, en lien avec le film «V pour Vendetta».

Heureusement, rien n'est arrivé. Demain, l'institution rouvrira ses portes normalement.

attaque de la testostérone

Je ne savais pas, mais en regardant le film Polytechnique j'ai connu la triste histoire de la tuerie de l'École Polytechnique de Montréal.

Pendant l'hiver de 89 (le 6 décembre, plus précisément), beaucoup avant des célèbres cas étasuniens de Kip Kinkel et de Columbine (eternisé au cinéma par plusieurs films, à exemple de Bowling for Columbine, de Michael Moore), l'étudient Marc Lépine (alias Gamil Gharbi) a ouvert le feu contre 28 personnes dans cet etablissement d'enseignement. Il a tué quatorze (toutes des femmes) et a blessé quatorze autres (4 hommes et 10 femmes) avant de se suicider.

Le motif? L'antiféminisme. Il a laissé cette lettre.

Ce massacre s'est passé en moins de vingt minutes à l'aide d'un fusil semi-automatique obtenu légalement (l'oiseau ne tombe jamais loin du nid - à l exemple de les politiques d'armes de feu de leur voisins).

Comme ceci, plusieurs d'autres incidentes ont eu lieu en milieu scolaire, même au Canada - avant et après.

souviens-toi du 5 novembre 

À n'en pas douter: un jour inoubliable!

Au bout du compte (mais non moins important), ce soir le mairie de Montréal, Gérald Tremblay, démissionne. Finalement. 

La nouvelle ne me surprendre pas, ensuite son repos (forcé. De même, M. Gilles Vaillancourt, de Laval). Il a pris quelques jours pour réfléchir. Était-il nécessaire? Bon, au moins, c'est fait.

C'est finie son administration douteuse et peu fiable. Éclaboussé par de multiples allégations visant sa connaissance par rapport aux actes «irréguliers» pendant il était en poste, il quitte la vie publique. 

Fera la commission Charbonneau renoncer M. Vaillancourt aussi? On présume.

Line Beauchamp durant le printemps dernier, Jean Charest juste après l'élection (à lequelle il a échoué), maintenant M. Tremblay... Qui sera le prochain personnage directement impliqué dans la crise étudiante à  tomber?

D'autre part, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois reçoit beaucoup d'appui pour ramasser la somme de 74 000 $ dont il a besoin pour qu'il puisse défendre sa cause devant les tribunaux. En environ 48 heures, plus de 1700 donateurs l'ont aidé, parmi eux la Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN).

L'ancien co-porte-parole de la CLASSE a été reconnu coupable d'outrage par le juge Denis Jacques, de la Cour supérieure du Québec. Son jugement est en appel.

Remarquable: charisme a un valeur inestimable. Principalement en politique.

naturellement

Vendetta par cause et conséquence.

Peut-être, dès maintenant, une révolution silencieuse, sans violence, au Québec. Chimérique, démocratique. Pour quoi pas?!

Ou, plutôt un petit retour aux idéaux d'une Révolution tranquille...
 
De fois, le justicier anarchiste agit seulement par des idées. Les nôtres.

(«et les idées sont à l'épreuve des balles, monsieur Creedy»).

*Puis j'attends anxieusement la venue de quelques-uns sur le Printemps Érable!

what do you fear?

Before, she said be scared of Lula's victory in 2002 Brazilian presidential election. Her call,  this cut rate appeal in José Serra's political advertising didn't work indeed. Then, in 2009, Regina Duarte keeps the same cheap speech; at that time, against Indigenous People.

According the Centro de Estudo Ambientais, she is a farmer in Mato grosso do Sul. Considering that, her behaviour really does't surprise me. Both agricultural estate owner and neo-liberal, of the right... It would be comical if it wasn't tragic! One way or the other, a unfortunate philosophy of life.

Being anti demarcations, besides appropriates lands which used to belong to Indians... I'd suggest that this (not correct - in the bargain!) Ma'am lost good oportunities to remain silent on issues concerning politics.

During a delicate periode like the current, I hope she doesn't dramatize again (with or without "monsters" under her bed).This has been the joke of the year (for 10 years!).

Ça va (encore) chier solide!

Encore sur des craintes... 

M. Gilles Vaillancourt, le maire de la ville de Laval, prend du repos sous prétexte de problèmes de santé. Histoire de ne pas avoir un coeur assez impavide pour affronter toutes les accusations qui le concernent. 

Comme lui, beaucoup d'autres politiciens doivent être si inquiets pour être dans la merde jusqu'au cou!  Gérald Tremblay, le mairie de Montréal, peut également bien le dire...

C'est la Commission Charbonneau faisant chier! Tout un scandale sur des systèmes corruption éclatant au Québec.

not that much smooth

To whom has thought Canada (in detail, Quebec) was a tranquil and serene place to live, I listed briefly some events I witnessed, which prove that it REALLY rocks in different aspects - for good or ill:

Hurricane Irene passed by here in August 2011;
 

Occupy Montreal resisted at Square Victoria more than a month last year;
 

Le Printemps Érable, how they call the period of students protests in Quebec this year, caused! Red squares, Bill 78, confrontations, violence... even the possibility of Montreal Grand Prix cancellation. Lastly, the inevitable happened: elections! People voted massively. Then, their Prime Minister was replaced as a democratical consequence of his own (unsatisfactory) administration. Without a doubt, a remarkable triumphe;

We watched live on 4th September night: Pauline Marois, the new Quebec Prime Minister, was abruptly dragged off stage during her victory speech (in which she was calling for unity). A man opened fire into the Metropolis, where she was speaking. This attack brought out "past" issues of sovereignty, once the felon was arrested claiming "The anglos are waking up". The shooting left one victim dead and a second in critical condition. At the theatre where tragedy happened; a benefit concert with local stars (as Celine Dion and Arcade Fire, among others) was offered for the daughter of Denis Blanchette (murdered). Donations were also collected for Dave Courage, the other man hit by the same bullet.

Charbonneau Commission scandalizes with strong allegations of illegal financing between Quebec Liberal Party and (Italian) Mafia. Due to revelations of his implication, Montreal citizens ask their mayor, Gérald Tremblay, to resign immediately;

Another season off: NHL lockout desapoints hockey supporters this year. If some kind of soccer strike occurs in Brazil, I'm sure it would give rise to a huge civil war there (In this regard, Canadians are so civilized!);   

In the end of May, Luka Magnotta shocked the whole world with his brutal crime. He killed his boyfriend, Lin Jun. I frankly don't know what was the worst: the fact of dismembering the chinese student, or sendind parts of his body by mail - to the Conservative Party of Canada national office, and also to elementary schools in other provinces. Only in June, they finally found Jun's head in a park of Montreal. Well, if the goal of this mere model was be famous, he got it. Let's face it: as a shoody porno actor, he made an successful 'real thriller' (not his speciality). However, I wonder myself how he will enjoy his celebrity confined in a jail until his death... Not worth job, dude!;

A 4.5 Richter scale earthquake shaked Montreal area last night.

Well, it IS something, isn't?!  

On se souviendra!

911 turning 728

The classical police number is at a low... 728, instead, is on the wave crest nowadays. Actually, since the students protests occured last spring...

Cop n. 728, become famous by many videos showing her intolerant behavior to deal with people in general, not only rioters in upheaval. She pepper-sprayed broadly! 

Freshly, a new episode drew forth her! Once again, in an aggressive exchange captured on video. Watch a news reporting about here.

The worst, in my opinion, is her point of view, her both stiff ideas and conduct. Her unfortunate commentaries like "On a réussi à le menotter. Mais, pendant ce temps-là, tous les rats qui étaient dans l’appartement en haut, les gratteux de guitare, c’est toute des osti de carrés rouges. Des artistes osti. En tout cas, des mangeux de marde. Ils ont toute commencé à sortir de l’appartement, tsé" are wretched.

Stéfanie Trudeau, implied in more this case, drags attributtes of a violent person since school, according her ex classmates. Well, it's visible, evident, clear by seeing these videos. Hail current technology! (which permit people to record several occurrences).

After this event, Montreal police reputation was put in check. "Is this kind of police we want (and need) here?" - they called into question. At least, now, she was FINALLY suspended.

A site about her was even created. Check it out.
