The fact we may lose these important historical artifacts (not just important to our local history, but to the country as a whole) is beyond devastating. But the fact that little to no one is talking more about this, is insane. Here is ađŸ§” on why this matters

Truly effective teamwork can’t happen if we become defensive or get too concerned in being the most important person in the room.

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026) Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love. We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway. America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire. His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen. Ian McKellen 29 October 2026 Photo: University of Huddersfield

Le QuĂ©bec s’est fait dire par le fĂ©dĂ©ral « sois belle et tais-toi ». Dans l’émission de Mario Dumont, Marwah Rizqy le rappelle clairement : refuser au premier ministre du QuĂ©bec, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, le droit de prendre la parole lors d’un sommet Canada-Union europĂ©enne qui se tient Ă  MontrĂ©al, sur le territoire quĂ©bĂ©cois, n’est pas acceptable. Des ententes stratĂ©giques et Ă©conomiques qui touchent directement les champs de compĂ©tence du QuĂ©bec sont en discussion. Ne pas ĂȘtre Ă  la table, c’est risquer d’ĂȘtre au menu. PSPP a raison de le dire : le QuĂ©bec doit dĂ©fendre ses intĂ©rĂȘts lui-mĂȘme. C’est non nĂ©gociable. Marwah Rizqy, ancienne dĂ©putĂ©e libĂ©rale devenue commentatrice, met le doigt sur un manque de respect Ă©lĂ©mentaire. Quand mĂȘme une voix issue du camp fĂ©dĂ©raliste reconnaĂźt le problĂšme, c’est que l’affaire est sĂ©rieuse.

When Stone Cold Steve Austin tripped and fell in a backstage hallway. 😂 But the funniest part might be when Kane casually walks out of a nearby room and helps Austin back to his feet while everyone in the background completely loses it laughing. Seeing the Big Red Machine come to Stone Cold’s rescue makes this moment even better.

Hit the translate button on PSPP's post...you won't regret it.
Dans le film « Le Temps des bouffons », Pierre Falardeau mettait en lumiĂšre, avec dĂ©rision, le fait que les QuĂ©bĂ©cois sont traitĂ©s en porteurs d’eau sur leur propre territoire, condamnĂ©s Ă  se laisser dicter les dĂ©cisions fondamentales de leur sociĂ©tĂ© par des Ă©lites financiĂšres qui n’ont aucune lĂ©gitimitĂ© dĂ©mocratique. La lutte des QuĂ©bĂ©cois pour ĂȘtre « maĂźtres chez eux », c’est-Ă -dire pour prendre eux-mĂȘmes les dĂ©cisions qui orientent leur dĂ©veloppement Ă©conomique et social, a pris son essor lorsque Jean Lesage a fait comprendre aux banquiers de la rue Saint-Jacques que ce serait dĂ©sormais le gouvernement du QuĂ©bec, et personne d’autre, qui dĂ©ciderait au nom des QuĂ©bĂ©cois. Son message Ă©tait clair : le QuĂ©bec n’était plus Ă  vendre, et son peuple devait ĂȘtre respectĂ©. Cette posture a notamment permis la crĂ©ation d’Hydro-QuĂ©bec et de la Caisse de dĂ©pĂŽt et placement du QuĂ©bec, qui demeurent parmi les leviers les plus importants de l’économie quĂ©bĂ©coise. La dĂ©marche de rĂ©appropriation de nos institutions dĂ©mocratiques s’est poursuivie sous les gouvernements de RenĂ© LĂ©vesque, de Jacques Parizeau et de Bernard Landry. Or aujourd’hui, le gouvernement fĂ©dĂ©ral a dĂ©cidĂ© d’entreprendre des nĂ©gociations avec l’Union europĂ©enne, qui touchent directement le QuĂ©bec, sans consulter le QuĂ©bec ni lui permettre d’avoir une place Ă  la table des nĂ©gociations, contrairement Ă  ce qui s’était fait lors des nĂ©gociations ayant menĂ© Ă  la crĂ©ation de la zone de libre-Ă©change avec l’Union europĂ©enne. Souvenons-nous Ă©galement que c’est aussi le QuĂ©bec qui avait jouĂ© un rĂŽle de prĂ©curseur dans l’appui Ă  l’ALÉNA. Ainsi, non seulement le gouvernement fĂ©dĂ©ral refuse de consulter le QuĂ©bec et de le faire participer aux nĂ©gociations, il cherche Ă  lui imposer des dĂ©cisions Ă©conomiques qui touchent Ă  ses champs de compĂ©tence, en rupture complĂšte avec la doctrine GĂ©rin-Lajoie. Il va mĂȘme plus loin sur le plan symbolique en refusant au premier ministre du QuĂ©bec de prendre la parole dans le cadre d’un Ă©vĂ©nement sur son propre territoire oĂč les intĂ©rĂȘts Ă©conomiques du QuĂ©bec seront nĂ©gociĂ©s. Pire encore, le gouvernement fĂ©dĂ©ral voudrait nous faire croire que le fait, pour le premier ministre du QuĂ©bec, d’obtenir la permission de servir des crevettes cocktail lors d’une rĂ©ception constitue une forme d’influence acceptable et suffisante dans la reprĂ©sentation des intĂ©rĂȘts du QuĂ©bec. C’est non seulement un manque de respect grave, mais c’est surtout un important recul pour la capacitĂ© du QuĂ©bec Ă  agir de maniĂšre autonome et Ă  dĂ©fendre lui-mĂȘme ses intĂ©rĂȘts. La vision du Canada dĂ©fendue par Mark Carney est celle d’un État fĂ©dĂ©ral centralisateur, voire unitaire, qui impose ni plus ni moins aux provinces un rĂŽle d’observatrices dans des discussions qui touchent pourtant leurs intĂ©rĂȘts fondamentaux et leurs champs de compĂ©tence. Cette vision entre directement en contradiction avec les principes dĂ©fendus par notre gouvernement, notamment prĂ©cisĂ©ment le respect de notre autonomie et de nos champs de compĂ©tence. En dĂ©but de mandat, il est essentiel d’établir clairement notre position pour la suite des choses : le QuĂ©bec doit ĂȘtre la table des dĂ©cisions pour dĂ©fendre ses intĂ©rĂȘts. C'est non nĂ©gociable. M. Carney l'a bien dit lui-mĂȘme : « Si on n’est pas Ă  la table, on est au menu. »

Samedi il s’agit fort probablement de la derniĂšre fois qu’on recule l’heure au QuĂ©bec. Dans les derniĂšres annĂ©es, le Parti QuĂ©bĂ©cois a pris position Ă  plusieurs reprises pour remettre en question le changement d’heure. Les Ă©tudes dĂ©montrent que cette pratique est contre-productive pour la santĂ© et qu’elle posait des difficultĂ©s d’adaptation aux enfants. Notre intention est d’agir correctement et intelligemment : nous allons donc entendre tous les spĂ©cialistes pour valider ce qui semble ĂȘtre un consensus selon lequel cette pratique est contre-productive, mais Ă©galement pour ĂȘtre certain de bien prĂ©parer le terrain et de bien dĂ©terminer s’il serait prĂ©fĂ©rable d’opter pour l’heure d’étĂ© ou pour l’heure normale. Ces consultations dĂ©buteront dans les prochains mois, ce qui nous permettra d’entendre les experts dans une courte commission parlementaire. Chers parents qui en ont pour plusieurs semaines Ă  gĂ©rer la rĂ©action de leurs enfants Ă  ce changement d’heure, ceci est probablement la derniĂšre annĂ©e durant laquelle nous nous imposons de telles contraintes inutiles. Nous invitons la population Ă  suivre de prĂšs nos travaux.

These are my great-grandfather Dr. Sam Aykroyd’s transcripts from the Seances he hosted in the Old Farmhouse. It was the spirit of his work passed down through the generations that inspired my interests. He’s the original Ghostbuster.

AEW don't often play up that Renee/Mox are married when she interviews him but the little leg touch, her hand on his back and look of concern and her walking off arm around Shafir was so understatedly good. #AEW #AEWDynamite #DeathRiders
