Après le dîner de la Fondation Nordiques, j’ai passé deux jours au Congrès de l’IOC SportAccord. Encore une fois, il faut prendre en photo des gens qui parlent en arrière d’un micro et essayer de rendre cela intéressant.

Il est difficile d’avoir une photo intéressante d’une personne qui parle derrière un micro sur un podium. Parfois, une petite réaction d’un quart de seconde nous permet d’avoir quelque chose d’intéressant. Et cela donne ceci.

Manifestation étudiante 2012

Il fallait bien que cela arrive un jour: j’ai gouté à ma première rasade de gaz lacrymogène. Le premier service a été trompeur: “OK c’est pas si pire, je peux m’approcher”.

Le deuxième m’est rentré directement dans la gorge et les yeux et je me suis ramassé à genoux à cracher et essayer de respirer. Merci aux deux manifestants qui m’ont gentiment donné de l’eau et du jus pour m’aider à faire passer mon “repas”…

This is an amazing but weird story by my writer friend Mark Cardwell: An uphill battle to save Quebec farm

Brigitte Robinet feeds her sheep at her farm in Saint-Anne de Beaupre, 45 minutes East of Quebec city Thursday November 24, 2011. Robinet have on hold a project of developing an apple orchard where her sheep would "lawnmower" the grass and small trees because of a threat of the city of rezoning this part of her property residential instead of agricultural.
