Gil Courtemanche : Merci les femmes

"Mais plus profondément, ces femmes vivent au cour de toutes les distorsions de la société néo-libérale. Dans leur propres conditions de vie, en tout premier lieu, car si elles ne vivent pas la précarité financière, elles connaissent la précarité de l'emploi, l'incertitude du rappel, la mise à la retraite précoce, l'instabilité du système qui interdit de planifier une vraie vie familiale."

"The ineffable Bernard Landry, digging into our pockets, has found money to service a $100-million loan for the Expos. He has also discovered sufficient funds in his little tin box to enable clowns from the Office de la Langue Francaise to tour golf clubs to demand that a golf cart should now be called a voiturette de golf and a grass bunker a fosse d'herbe. But hospitals have to be closed and nurses must be denied a living wage. "Quebec's wealth is not unlimited," and neither is its ability to make itself a laughingstock, most recently on the links."

"We always look to the community to ask ourselves what is reasonable conduct. The Internet is a distinctive community of users. It has a funny name for standards of reasonable behavior -- netiquette. All law in a sense starts like this." see also :1267623 Ontario Inc. v. Nexx Online Inc.
