I was wondering if we could snowboard at our new cabin
I guess that’d be a yes then. 🙂The part I’m jumping from is the flattest part of the property, yet still allows to pick up speed. The backwoods are going to be phenomenal fun!

A lesson in etymology for Jean Charest
Democracy: from the Greek: δημοκρατία (dēmokratía) “rule of the people”,[1] which was coined from δῆμος (dêmos) “people” and κράτος (kratos) “power”, circa 400 BC.
So Mr. Charest, I’d like to point out that when you try to demonize the people by calling them “la rue“, you are basically alienating, if not insulting, the very people who are in charge of electing you. Not entirely sure how you thought this might be a good idea…

Protecting Quebec’s culture? Sure, but is French really it? 😉
That quote really made me smile.
The idea of protecting Quebec’s French culture is quite the noble endeavor. The only problem being I don’t think any of the First Nations were francophone. This notion that Quebec’s history is French is a blatant slap in the face of Quebec’s true historical identity, one the PQ is more than happy to gloss over. Does the PQ understand that there were people here prior to the French landing? It’s okay for their language to disappear? Does no attention need to be paid to their history or culture?
Via DTA’s Thoughts: The Language Police: Because being English will soon be a crime.
It really reminded me of this cartoon:
