  • Spiritual Gastronomy in Québec
    SPIRITUAL GASTRONOMY TOUR The Province of Québec1 is the largest province in Canada and the second-most populous province of Canada, after Ontario. It is the only one to have a predominantly French- speaking population, with French as the sole provincial official language. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montréal and Québec City, the capital. The name "Québec", which comes from the Algonquin word kébec meaning "where the river narrows". The history of Québec dates as far back as the discovery of Canada itself. It was indeed on her soil that Jacques Cartier, the envoy of the king of France, landed for the first time in 1534. Since the earliest days of New France in the 17th century, religion and public demonstrations of faith have been a vital aspect of Québec society. The conversion of the Amerindians and the spread of Catholicism throughout North America played a key role in the growth of this initially French and later British colony. Today, this centuries-old tradition is reflected in numerous places of worship, the guardians of Québec’s religious and cultural heritage. The province of Québec counts: 20 Roman Catholic cathedrals 19 Dioceses 4 National Shrines of Canada 2018 64 parishes 1995 269 parishes 2018 228 churches belong to parishes ▪ 46 churches were sold. 12 alienated churches belong to municipalities. ▪ 4 churches are closed to worship and ready to be sold. Since 1980 ▪ 8 churches are considered surplus to the cult ▪ 1 church destroyed by fire. 2018 14 000 priests, nuns 1961 more than 60 000 And we can go on with more information.

  • The Canadian Political Observer Reporting and Analysing Canadian Political and Public Policy Developments
    The Canadian Political Observer Reporting and Analysing Canadian Political and Public Policy Developments September 2009 Volume 15, Issue 10 ISSN 1202-8967 Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff Faces Major Challenge to his Leadership Liberal party leader for less than a year since the December 2008 decision by the Liberal caucus and senior Liberal officials to install him in place of the politically floundering Stéphane Dion (or Liberal MP Bob Rae), Michael Ignatieff’s leadership is increasingly being called into question. Some Liberals are reportedly already contemplating the post-Ignatieff era for the party. Like former Leader Dion, it is generally assumed that Ignatieff, 62, will fight at least one election campaign. Some suggest he may get a second election given the state of the Liberal party following the last two federal elections. However, if Ignatieff’s leadership falters, this would be the third failed leader for the Liberals since the departure of Liberal Leader Jean Chrétien in late 2003, a boon to the Harper Conservatives and the other parties. Nor is there an obvious replacement for Ignatieff. One political pundit suggests that the Liberals desperately need a strong leader in place of Ignatieff, Bob Rae and former New Brunswick Premier and Canadian Ambassador to the US Frank McKenna, but cannot come up with any names. This suggests that the Liberals will have to look beyond some of the recent or suggested leadership contenders. Several recent polls tend to point to the same conclusion: that the Liberals are trailing the Conservatives by around six or seven points nationally, 36%-37% to 30%.

Our work is driven by the fundamental belief that theatre that speaks to and about the lives, the hopes and the tragedies of its home community has the best possibility of creating an electric connection between stage and audience that is the essence of great theatre. Infinithéâtre is the one theatre in Québec (in French or English!) whose mission is to develop, promote, produce and broker only plays written or adapted by Québec writers and Indigenous writers from within the territory called Canada. We do this, because we believe fundamentally that producing our own writers will generate subject matter and themes relevant to Montréal and Québec and result in the strongest possible engagement and live interaction with our audience.

  • THE BRANDING of the PRIME MINISTER: 'Uncle Louis' and Brand
    THE BRANDING OF THE PRIME MINISTER: ‘Uncle Louis’ and Brand Politics in The Elections of Louis St. Laurent 1949-1957 A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Cory Baldwin, 2017 History M.A. Graduate Program September 2017 ABSTRACT: THE BRANDING OF THE PRIME MINISTER: ‘Uncle Louis’ and Brand Politics in The Elections of Louis St. Laurent 1949-1957 Cory Baldwin From 1949-1957, Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent was the face of the Liberal Party. Party branding was wholly devoted to his friendly, ‘Uncle Louis’ brand image. St. Laurent’s image was manipulated and manufactured without public preconception, establishing the modern tactics of personal branding still used by his successors. This thesis studies the elections of 1949, 1953, and 1957, analysing photos, advertisements, speeches, archival documents, memoirs, newspapers, and other sources to show the development of Liberal branding strategy. It employs political scientist Margaret Scammell’s conceptualization of brand theory, showing how marketers used emotional brand differentiators and rational substantive performance indicators to sell ‘Uncle Louis’ to Canadians. The Liberals used St. Laurent and branding tactics to win two massive majorities in 1949 and 1953, and the Diefenbaker Tories used those same tactics to defeat them in 1957. ‘Uncle Louis’ proved the effectiveness of personal branding and leader- centered

But these days lots of Canadians are telling poll takers they'd like the relatively untried but politically dazzling 45-year-old Vancouver politician to be their next prime minister. In the 10 days since Brian Mulroney announced he would retire, Campbell has been basking in the unexpected glow of front-runner status. A former justice minister and Canada's current defense minister, she is the favorite in the early soundings to succeed Mulroney as leader of the ruling Progressive Conservative Party. Mulroney has said he will step down after the party convention, probably in June, to allow his successor to run as the incumbent prime minister in the general elections that must be called this fall. It's early yet, but polls show Campbell with the clearest shot of any Tory at beating the opposition Liberal leader, Jean Chretien. Though she has more experienced competition, her fellow conservatives in the House of Commons are lining up to endorse a leadership bid she has not even announced. Her campaign strategists and well-wishers hopefully offer comparisons to Bill Clinton, and up the ante: Their candidate would be not just another leader of the next generation, but North America's first woman prime minister.
