I'm A Legal Alien

I’m sit­ting at the kitchen table and papers are scat­tered every­where. Three black pens on the side, two cups of tea and a pack of cig­a­rettes in front of me. A pile of draft paper on hand and lots of patience. Lots of it.

Exactly two years ago, I was com­plet­ing my immi­gra­tion papers to stay in Canada. I was 22 years old .

Overtime Work And The Overreactive Alarm

I’ve never been a morn­ing per­son. Even though my high school days mem­o­ries are slowly start­ing to fade, I still remem­ber my last year. We had to attend classes Mon­day through Sat­ur­day start­ing at 8:00 am, and every­day was a strug­gle to get up.

Us And Them

Office work­ers have always fas­ci­nated me. I used to see them in pub­lic trans­porta­tion, early in the morn­ing : guys drink­ing their daily shot of black java in some kind of fancy spill proof cup; women awk­wardly apply­ing another layer of make-up on their face. They looked busy. They looked like they had a goal and shared a com­mon cul­ture of which other were excluded.

Go Sens, Go !

Four hockey fans were climb­ing a moun­tain one day. Each was a fan of a dif­fer­ent team, and each pro­claimed to be the most loyal of all fans of their hockey team. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all. They con­tin­ued to argue all the way up the moun­tain, and finally as they reached the top, the Cana­di­ens fan hurled him­self off the moun­tain, shout­ing, “This is for the Great Mon­treal Cana­di­ens!” as he fell to his doom.

Are You Kidding ???

J’peux pas com­pren­dre qu’y aille du monde assez inno­cent pour rester dans un mau­dit crisse de trou pareil !

Rap­pel… semaine qui vient, soit du 19 au 23 mars…!

Walking on Thin Ice

The stairs were steep and cov­ered by a thick layer of snow, totally buried under­neath. I tried to fol­low in the foot­steps left by the guys already on the ice. I took small and care­ful steps. My goal was to take a pic­ture of the locks viewed from below…

Winterlude !

Win­ter­lude started last week in the nation’s cap­i­tal. Prob­a­bly the best way to cel­e­brate win­ter and the waaaay below freez­ing tem­per­a­ture !
Sculpt­ing ice when it’s — 20C is a Cana­dian sport… And yes, it’s done with a chainsaw.

Snow Fall !

Tried again at 12:00, it was a bit bet­ter, although streets weren’t cleared out yet. I love see­ing peo­ple dri­ving in the snow : peo­ple have exactly the same dri­ving pat­tern (tail­gat­ing on the free­way, run­ning red stop lights, over­tak­ing, cut­ting off), every­body just drive slower. We all look like we’re slow-motion !
