Before completing my article on Refus global (1948), a document that indicted the institutions of old Quebec, the Church in particular, I am sending you the news.  Refus global (1948) was written during a period in Quebec’s history when the province was often referred to as the “priest-ridden” province.

My students read that document because I considered it a statement that ushered in Quebec’s Révolution tranquille.  It is now viewed as such in an official manner.

But first, allow me to send some News.

When Nature takes over…

Sandy: When nature takes over…

There may be an election on November 6th, but, in my opinion, it may be delayed.

Sandy is devastating and as one can observe listening to President Obama’s speeches, for the time being, he is not thinking about the election.  This storm is disastrous.  It has done considerable damage and President Obama is reacting as he should.  As Commander-in-Chief, he is focussing on a natural disaster.

He is not campaigning. Needless to say, that would be an insult to grieving Americans whose houses have been destroyed or who have lost a loved-one.  This storm is a killer.  So President Obama is too busy looking after this disaster to even think about the elections.

Still life by Bartholomeus Assteyn, private collection, 1635
