THE KENTUCKY DERBY 2016

BY BERNARD BUJOLD - (LeStudio1.com) 
The horse NYQUEST was the favorite and he ran as expected to be the winner of The Kentucky Derby 2016 on Saturday May 7. 
I was not at the track but I was watching on television... 
I love horses very much so I picked a horse before the race for the fun of it, the number 8 - LANI. It's a Japanese horse (owner). His name is a Hawaiian word which means “sky" Why did I bet on him to win? The odds were 30-1... I only chose it because he is pale (grey) like my other horse in politics, Donald who is blond... But color do not always means victory and my pick finished way behind! 
The winner of the Kentucky Derby 2016 is Nyquest (Number 13). 
To be continued on Saturday, May 21st with the PREAKNESS and the final race at the BELMONT STAKES in Hempstead which will be held on Saturday, June 11, near Donald Trump home in New York City...

THE JOURNALISTS AND THE WORLD OF POLITICS

BY BERNARD BUJOLD (LeStudio1.com) -
Every election cycle brings questionable news coverage. But the seasons 2015-2016 has been truly spectacular in its total failings by the journalists covering politics. In Canada with Justin Trudeau; in Quebec with Pierre Karl Péladeau; and more important in United States with Donald Trump. 
Why the media read the situation wrong? 
One consolation, I read the situation correctly in all three: Trudeau, PKP and Trump but I am retired and out from the action!

DONALD TRUMP - THE WINNER

BY BERNARD BUJOLD (LeStudio1)
Donald Trump has taken the first step to become the next president of the United States by becoming the official candidate of the Republican Party following the abandonment of Ted Cruz after the victory of Trump in Indiana. Donald Trump can now enjoy the time remaining before November to combat the Democratic Party and particularly Hillary Clinton. 
Personally, I predicted the victory of Trump for the nomination of the Republican Party since last June 2015 and I obviously predicting now his victory as future president. 
I was also very proud for my morning walk, to wear my cap MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN... 
Congratulations Donald Trump!

MIKE DUFFY - AN HONEST MAN ...

BY BERNARD BUJOLD - 
Mike Duffy is not a thief! He is a greedy but a greedy honest... 
His story is similar to the one of a customer at IGA! There is a difference between a customer who leaves the store without paying for a bottle of wine hidden in his bag; and another customer devouring four mouthfuls rather than one at the table of free tastings. 
Mike Duffy is the greedy customer but does not stole. 
I've known Mike when he was a journalist with CTV. He was a fair play man and always very nice but he loved the luxury. For a while he was riding in a Roll Royce (rented on his expense account) to impress the listeners of his TV show. But Duffy was not a thief,  just a journalist who was reading his contracts and use of the possibilities offered by employers. 
QUESTION: Who among us has never taken a second bite at the free tasting table in IGA (or a COSTCO)?

PENELOPE MCQUADE - PHOTOGRAPHER AND AUTHOR

PAR BERNARD BUJOLD - 
Pénélope McQuade vient de publier une sorte de guide sur les choses et endroits qu'elle aime, à Montréal comme ailleurs dans le monde. 
J'ai profité de ma visite en ville pour me procurer le livre. 
L'ouvrage est à la fois un livre photos décoratif pour la table de salon; un livre de chevet pour feuilleter avant ou après le sommeil; un livre touristique pour préparer son prochain voyage; ou simplement une discussion intime avec Pénélope au sujet de ses goûts et intérêts personnels. J'ai bien aimé la présentation graphique qui n'a rien de traditionnelle, pas plus d'ailleurs que les photos (prises par Pénélope) qui sont différentes des photos que l'on retrouve habituellement dans un livre photos et cadrée dans un style moderne, genre Instagram. 
Bref, un livre à se procurer!

EUGENIE AT THE COTTAGE

by Bernard Bujold -
The spring season is an opportunity to prepare well for the warmer activities that should be following, with the summer. 
I decided to put all chances on my side to facilitate Eugenie decision to accept my invitation to a bike ride in 2016.
I prepared for her a nice well-oiled and well-adjusted bicycle. 
I even put out the little bench that I have set in front of the pond cottage... 
It lacks only the beautiful Eugenie!

THE MODERN JOURNALISM IN 2016 - THE PANAMA PAPERS

By Bernard Bujold - 
In the past, a serious scandal might take years before being known and their consequences to become a reality. In today modern journalism, a scandal only takes hours before being known to the whole world and the application of consequences for those implicated are often days behind the first publication. 
The "Panama Papers" are a good example of the modern journalism!
