Nouveau sondage Léger au Qc

PQ 31 %
PLQ 30 %
CAQ 15 %

Le PQ continue de remporter les élections partielles, pourtant le PLQ sont juste derrière dans les intentions de vote.

Pendant ce temps, la CAQ poursuit sa chute dans l’abîme.
Au fond, Drainville et Fréchette pensent diriger quoi, exactement?

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.

Hegseth apparently prefers to sound more like a Call of Duty player leading a raid than a sober and judicious secretary of defense: “Death and destruction from the sky all day,” he said, along with other empty phrases such as “We’re playing for keeps.”

A Sec Defense (War) who rhapsodizes about the death of enemy soldiers is so on point for this American regime. Not a whiff of any professional military ethos.

“We didn’t know the people who we were bombing because of the danger they posed with mass drone attacks would have this many mass drones to attack us with” is really gonna go down as one of the greatest hits in what is already a gold mine of strategic case studies

If the US and Israel needed to act decisively to eliminate the nuclear capability in Iran, were all the previous claims by the White House that said capability had been obliterated the stuff of fiction or were they a cover for plans that were being drawn for this war?

Melissa Auf der Maur, a ’90s Rock Linchpin, Is Spilling Her Stories

“I am grateful that Courtney has music to bash these dark feelings around, grateful that we all do,” Auf der Maur, who has kept a journal since childhood, wrote in the memoir. “Rock music saves lives. I have always believed that.”

Columbia Student Arrested by ICE in a University Building Is Released

Brad Hoylman-Sigal, the Manhattan borough president, said in a social media post the ICE agents had shown a phony missing-person’s bulletin for a 5-year-old girl, and that they had fake badges.

Where I grew up in Montréal, the cops could defend themselves in a snowball fight -- without calling for backup and without arresting anyone... but that was a long time ago when everything and everyone was just a little bit saner and people knew where to draw the line between fun and dangerous.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Bernard Drainville : le poids du pouvoir Il faut être honnête. Bernard Drainville n’est pas un figurant de la politique québécoise. Il est un acteur central. Il a servi dans deux gouvernements. Sous deux premiers ministres. Avec deux vision...

"Pendant plus de mille jours, Bernard Drainville a siégé au cœur du pouvoir exécutif québécois. Il n’était pas en périphérie. Il était dans la pièce...

Avec un merci tout spécial à l’équipe américaine masculine de hockey et leur attitude grosse corvette – petit quéquette, j’ai décidé d’investir quelques dollars durement gagnés pour acheter des billets afin d’aller voir la Victoire de Montréal jouer dans la Ligue professionnelle de hockey féminin.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Poignant note from my mom's speech therapist... working post-CVA to re-learn how to better pronounce words.

"At the end of the session, I wrote down a few words for her to review (e.g., PA-RA-ME-DIC)."
