QUEBEC IS IN A STATE OF WAR
By Bernard Bujold -
The whole province of Quebec is in a state of war, since Saturday evening, January 9, 2021 with the general curfew that applies from 8:00 p.m. until the morning of February 8, at the very least.
The situation of confinement recalls the dramatic period of wartime measures experienced in 1970.
The city of Montreal, for one, looked like a ghost town on Saturday night and the only living presences were the street lights and the police officers?
Dog walkers are allowed to go out in the streets, but who wants to walk in a ghost town?
Even the dog Ulysses is afraid...

TOLERANCE, FEAR, VENGEANCE AND RESILIENCE -
By Bernard Bujold -
Human civilization is largely based on four principles of survival:
1. tolerance;
2. fear;
3. revenge (punishment);
4. resilience.
We can see this phenomenon worldwide and in particular currently in the United States and Quebec.
If "half" of Americans must have been tolerant of Donald Trump, they are now in revenge mode!
In Quebec, citizens are tolerant of confinement because they are afraid, afraid of fines in the event of non-compliance with the instructions of Prime Minister François Legault ...
Personally, I'm more of the resilient type but I'm never scared. Revenge, however, I knew well, in particular after the death of the founder of Quebecor, Pierre Péladeau. Among the hundreds of Quebec leaders (Quebec Inc) who said they admired him during his lifetime (for fear of his financial influence), the majority openly displayed their contempt immediately after his death.
The Quebec Inc of the time reminds me of many modern politicians, Republican and global, who tolerated Donald Trump out of fear during his mandate but who today display their contempt, including Justin Trudeau ...
Conclusion: let's never forget that everything ended up passing by, both misfortune and happiness. For this reason, resilience is the best option, and the least painful.
Good luck!
THE MONTREAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA IN 2021
By Bernard Bujold -
The Orchestre symphonique de Montréal has a new conductor, Rafael Payare.
It can be concluded that the Orchestra is moving away from the style of Kent Nagano and Charles Dutoit...

SOCIAL MEDIA IN 2021
By Bernard Bujold -
The year 2021 will totally question the role of social media in our society!
Personally, I don't have any problems because I check at the entrance. Every day, I delete on average two or three rude comments posted on one of my 5 or 6 social media pages and, every month, I eliminate one or two contacts that are too disturbing...
Just think of a social media page as the holder's living room. As much as I would never dare to go to someone else's page and be brazen, I don't tolerate any insults!
But it is obvious that the very existence of social media will be transformed in the coming months.
The two events that will have caused the change will be the current crisis in Washington and the closure of President Donald Trump's Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Nothing lasts forever, and one has to remember that MySpace was, a few years ago, the center of the Internet universe and today it has disappeared.

THE FUTURE OF DONALD TRUMP IN 2021
By Bernard Bujold -
Politics is an act of selling to a target audience. Donald Trump had targeted his audience, which represented about half of all Americans people. Donald's sales company (Republican Party) fired him but his target audience still exists. He will have to find another company for his selling...
In my view, his future will be a new media that he will create with his family and friends (Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham) who will help him built a new anchor.
He could also buy an existing media such as FOX News from Rupert Murdoch's family.
One star that is in the making: BARRON TRUMP.
Watch this guy as he is tall, nice looking and he loves his father style!
As far as Mike Pence is concerned, he's out. He was Trump's right hand man but now he is his Judas. Pence is once again one amongst several Republicans and I would say that the race is restarted for the next Republican candidate of 2024.
The Ted Cruz. Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley and others are the new contenders.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
By Bernard Bujold -
The population of the United States is over 329 millions people.
It is a lot of people...
Half of those people have a vision of society and the other half have a completely different vision?
The United States of America are in for a very difficult time ahead of them!
And no man alone, either Donald Trump of Joe Biden, can solve this situation!
The system is broken!

By Bernard Bujold -
Premier François Legault confirmed the various containment and curfew measures as informally announced by the media since Monday. We will have to see how Quebecers will adapt to these measures, which will have to be apply until February 8, 2021, at the very least.
Ulysse went to get the roll of wire because we really hold on with "wire" as the Cowboys Fringuants sing...

THE NEW YEAR 2021
By Bernard Bujold -
If the beginning of the new year 2021 inspired many, all indications are that it will not be better than 2020. In fact, we can already almost put an "X" on January and many experts believe that the containment will have to continue until spring!

SUNDAY WALK IN JANUARY 2021
By Bernard Bujold -
A first Sunday walk (January 3, 2021) in a confined Old Montreal offers a very special spectacle and solitude.
Ulysse took the opportunity to better discover the landscape, without the usual crowd...
