A supervisor has been sent to Grand River by the Ministry of Health to work with the limited number of staff, which was cut down even further on Friday after some emergency-room doctors resigned. An inspector has also been ap- pointed to look into the matter, which is a team headed by Ken Dean, President and CEO ofSt. Jo- Sydney Helland seph's hospital in Toronto.

  • Band De Garage
    Dossier de presse Band de Garage Aussi efficace qu'un gin tonique au last call, le duo Band de Garage a fessé fort dans le décor de la musique alternative québécoise avec la sortie de Corpo-Trash-Vidange en 2006. Entassés dans leur char avec le gear sur le banc d'en arrière, ils peuvent se vanter d'avoir fait plus de 80 concerts à travers le Québec et avoir eu le plus petit bill de transport au monde pour leur tournée! Cassette II est, on le devine facilement, leur deuxième album. Réalisé par BDG et Pierre Girard (Galaxie 500, Fred Fortin, Mara Tremblay) Cassette II sera officiellement en magasin le 9 septembre 2008. Attendez vous à un album de rock «stoner», mélodique et imagé qui décrassera solidement vos tympans. Ce qu’il faut savoir sur Band de Garage -Band de Garage est véritablement un duo, sur album et sur scène ; -Franck vient réellement de Maniwaki et M-A de Laval ; -On en déduit donc que ce n’est pas un band du Lac, contrairement à la croyance populaire ; -Leur plus grand rêve est de partir en tournée au Japon avec Weezer ; -Ils sont les deux fondateurs de leur ligue de Hockey, la LDHDP. Malheureusement, leur emploi du temps monumentalement chargé les a obligés à mettre une pause à leur prolifique carrière de hockeyeur. On les appelait les Power Defs, vu leur talent immense en défensive ; -Leur premier Tour Bus fut le défunt Civic de M-A. On doit par contre annoncer, avec beaucoup de peine, le décès du dit Civic, après plus de 235 299 kilomètres et plusieurs concerts ; -Son remplaçant n’est pas encore connu ; -Leurs artistes préférés

  • Arcade Fire Et Le Paradoxe De L'indie
    Université de Montréal Arcade Fire et le paradoxe de l’indie : de la scène montréalaise à la reconnaissance internationale par Margalida Amengual Garí Faculté de musique Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise en Musique, option Musicologie Mai, 2017 © Margalida Amengual Garí, 2017 ii Résumé Près de quinze ans après la percée du grunge de Nirvana dans le circuit mainstream, le groupe Arcade Fire, issu de la scène indie montréalaise des années 2000, a connu une reconnaissance internationale importante. En effet, malgré un début de carrière et un premier disque, Funeral, davantage associés à la musique indépendante, Arcade Fire a rencontré un grand succès commercial, public et critique, et sa musique est aujourd’hui distribuée et diffusée dans les circuits globaux de la pop. Dès lors, comment un groupe ayant changé de scène et d’échelle de production, de diffusion et de distribution est-il pourtant toujours associé au terme indie ? Appuyée par une bibliographie en études des musiques populaires et en sociomusicologie, cette étude explore cette question d’abord par une recherche historique sur le terme indie et sur la scène du même nom à Montréal, puis par une analyse historique de la carrière d’Arcade Fire, et ce, afin de comprendre comment ce terme a continué à être opérationnel pour parler du groupe. Ce travail démontre que si la carrière d’Arcade Fire est devenue moins indie dans la manière de produire, de distribuer et de diffuser la musique, l’étiquette indie fonctionne néanmoins toujours pour parler du groupe, car elle est liée à des valeurs de l’être humain que sont l’identité et l’authenticité.
