Let us indeed talk (read?) about art, airport art to be more precise, my reading friend. When the Second World War came to an end, in 1945, the terminal buildings of Canada’s largest airports were by no means huge buildings. Indeed, one could argue they looked a lot, and felt a lot, like bus depots. As the accumulated desire of passengers to travel was released, these terminal buildings became busier and busier. In 1946, approximately 837 000 people travelled by air in Canada. By 1956

Given the situation which has prevailed for 20 months (!?), that is since March 2020, yours truly must admit having spent many hours, very many hours, too many hours, in front of my boob tube. Finding content that was / is worth seeing was / is not always easy. This being said (typed?), the fact is that a television set is one of the most important items in most North American homes. I would like to bring to your attention on this autumn day the life and times of a pioneer of Québec / Canadian

It is with some nostalgia that yours truly quoted the first pair of lines from the title song of the popular American situation comedy Green Acres. I remember watching quite a few episodes of the French language version of that satirical and surreal television show originally broadcasted between September 1965 and April 1971. The first episode of Les arpents verts, a series dubbed in France by French actors, was broadcasted in Québec in September 1966. The last one presumably came out in April
