Montréal ma chère

Vers la fin des années 50, deux fois l’an, la famille partait de Thurso dans l’Outaouais. Une ballade de deux heures dans le long train du CP pour visiter les oncles, tantes et cousins-cousines de la grande ville. Gamin, j’adorais venir explorer Montréal. L’aventure dans les ruelles de Villeray, les escapades au parc Jarry et comble du bonheur, suivre mon père pour un match des Canadiens dans le vieux Forum, celui qui avait des colonnes. Voir goaler Jacques Plante contre Gump Worsley . . .

Dix années plus tard, à l’instar de dizaines de milliers de québécois, c’est la Terre des Hommes qui attirait l’ado tout excité. Le Peace and Love naissant, les hippies qui se regroupaient à la Ronde et tout le mystère attirant de cette société qui allait changer.

En septembre 70, arrivant des Hautes-Laurentides, je m’y installais pour les études collégiales. Un mois plus tard, le FLQ écrivait Octobre dans l’histoire du pays pendant que je me grisais intensément de vivre enfin là où ça s’passe !

Depuis cette année bénie de mon arrivée en ville, je suis et serai toujours un indécrottable montréalais, prêt à griffer quiconque lui manque de respect.

Je ne suis pas insensible à l’appel de la nature : l’immensité de l’espace dans les Iles-de-la-Madeleine, la magnificence des Rocheuses dans l’ouest, le calme nocturne et la voûte céleste de la campagne. Repos de l’âme et de l’esprit.

Mais il me faut toujours retourner dans la jungle . . . urbaine et sentir battre le pouls de Montréal, même s’il résonne sur le béton.

L’image que je préfère et qui reflète si bien ce Montréal de mes tripes : matinée du samedi à déambuler devant les étals des maraîchers, fleuristes et fruitiers du Marché Jean-Talon. Ça vibre, ça farfouille, ça grouille et on y fait le tour du globe en moins de deux heures. À peine cinq minutes en vélo et je flotte sur un nuage.

  1. Bon, eh bien, tu y es parvenu !
    J'ai la larme à l'oeil à la suite de la lecture de ton dernier article... Maudit, que je m'ennuie !
    Tu as bien cerné le pouls et la joie de vivre de cette si belle Montréal, mon cher... Avec brio et une plume qui n'arrête jamais de m'ébahir:)

  31. The firm offers one specific [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/thoi-trang-nu_594/]mua hang gia re online[/url] for each functioning working day in each and every one of the markets it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance arrangement using ThePoint's program: if a certain amount of men and women indicator up for the supply, then the offer turns into available to all if the predetermined nominal is not happy, no one will get the offer that functioning day. This decreases risk for suppliers, who can offer with the coupons as quantity special discounts as well as income marketing resources. Groupon can make funds by trying to preserve roughly fifty % the income the consumer pays for the coupon.

    For illustration, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be obtained by the client for $forty by way of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would crack up the $40. That is, the retailer presents a therapeutic therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and receives all around $twenty from Groupon for it (beneath a 50%/fifty% crack up). Or, if $240 nicely worth of home portray answers is acquired by the client for $fifty via Groupon, then the enterprise will get $twenty five and Groupon retains $twenty five. The client receives the therapeutic massage, or the house painting provider, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they originally compensated $forty (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are distinct organizations to which Groupon to begin with did not provide its providers, such as taking pictures ranges and strip golf products nonetheless, capturing ranges have been showcased on Groupon.

    Not like categorised advertising, the service provider does not pay any upfront benefit to consider component: Groupon collects personal details from inclined consumers and then contacts only men and women consumers, mainly by daily e-mail, who may possibly perhaps be interested in a certain solution or assist.

    Groupon employs a huge variety of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains highlighted by electronic mail and on the internet internet site. Groupon's advertising text for the 'deals' has been observed as a contributing issue to the recognition of the web website, showcasing a distinctive combine of comprehensive truth-checking and witty humor.

    Owing to Groupon's market turning into mostly composed of feminine shoppers, the bargains are typically concentrated on the total well being, health and attractiveness marketplaces.

    There are potential difficulties with the business product. For circumstance in point, a successful supply could briefly swamp a little organization with way too several buyers, jeopardizing a chance that clientele will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be satisfactory merchandise to fulfill the desire from clients. Hole, a massive clothes retailer, was in a position to manage 445,000 coupons in a nationwide provide (despite the fact that it experienced server difficulties at one distinct degree), but a scaled-down enterprise could develop to be abruptly flooded with customers. one coffee shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an boost in customers for a number of months, when it offered shut to one,000 Groupons on the one particular day it was provided, in accordance to a single particular report. In response to associated difficulties, Groupon officials position out that 'deal' subscriptions need to have to be capped in development to a sensible amount.
