France’s Most Wanted

The U.K and Roy­al­ists around the world cel­e­brated the Royal Wed­ding, the U.S.A finally got “America’s most wanted” and Canada woke up from the fed­eral elec­tions with a hangover—Harper in a major­ity gov­ern­ment, seriously?

Mean­while, the head­lines in France were all about a grisly case that took place in Nantes, my hometown.

How to Avoid... Scammers

Recently, an unbe­liev­able story made the head­lines in France. For three year, a num­ber of inter­nauts sup­ported Noa, a bub­bly seventeen-year old blog­ger, in her fight against can­cer. One day, Noa passes away from the ill­ness, announces Salomé, her twin sis­ter. Salomé, a ski cham­pion, starts blog­ging as well and gath­ers quite a fol­low­ing among peo­ple still dis­traught by Noa’s tragic death.

We May Be Stupid But We Are Good At It

I’m not say­ing I’m always smart but I gen­er­ally have some kind of common-sense. But hey, we all have occa­sional embar­rass­ing “duh” moments… well, this is one of these.

Four Twenty

In Ottawa, the gath­er­ing takes place today on Par­lia­ment Hill and Major Hill. When the clock on the Peace Tower strikes 4:20, bam, light up your spliff and enjoy—just make sure you don’t burn a pass­ing RCMP Offi­cer with your lit joint (guess what, Par­lia­ment Hill is not exactly cop-free).
