Habs go global with ambitious campaign (with video)

Justin Kingsley uses his pass to activate the Bell Centre elevator and then turns around with the kind of giant grin you only usually see on grade-school kids playing pranks in the park. “They gave me a pass,” he says. “I can go anywhere in the building. I can’t believe it. What a huge mistake!” […]

Watchwords: From pejorative to ‘oidorable’

I can still recall — though my children cannot — a time when words like “mouse,” “web,” “cloud,” “net” and “windows” had no electronic meaning.

Jean-Denis Leduc, left, former artistic director of La Licorne, chats with Orla O’Loughlin, artistic director of the Traverse Theatre of Edinburgh, Scotland outside La Licorne in Montreal. O’Loughlin is in town with her team of four playwrights for a series of readings of four Scottish plays.

Scottish invasion at La Licorne

There’s nothing new about cultural ties between Quebec and Scotland — the roots go back to the “auld alliance” of 1295 between France and Scotland. But the intensity of the relationship ramped up last month, on the eve of the Scottish independence vote. Quebec politicians of the sovereignty creed flocked to Scotland seeking to renew their hopes, recently dashed by a provincial election, in the land of kilts and haggis. Witnessing another “no” victory wasn’t in their plans.

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier talks to Christelle Germelus after cutting the ribbon to mark the beginning of the Pinkarnaval parade on Ste-Catherine St. in Montreal on July 16, 2011.

Record-breaking Fashion world of Jean Paul Gaultier enters the home stretch

Montrealers have always had a fondness for Jean Paul Gaultier, and he apparently for us, having accepted a proposal from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to mount a quasi-retrospective exhibition. The show, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk, is a celebration of the designer’s humanism and embrace of beauty in all its guises.

Boulud's steps to becoming a world-class chef

I have seen Daniel Boulud in a suit only once. It was back in June of 2012, when he was meeting journalists to discuss the launch of his restaurant Maison Boulud. Located in the landmark Ritz hotel, the restaurant would be posh, expensive, and helmed by a chef who would rarely be in town.

Pro-union supporters, opposing Scottish independence from the United Kingdom, rally in Trafalgar Square in London on Sept.15, 2014, ahead of the Scottish independence referendum.

Editorial: Scotland, Catalonia and some lessons for Quebec

The Scottish referendum and upcoming planned Catalonian referendum provides for some interesting points of comparison and contrast. This much seems sure: The fact that a simple six-word question is being asked in Scotland will have an influence on any future referendum question in Quebec.

Ronnie Spector says recordings like Be My Baby endure because of their innocence. “It’s not like the songs of today and it’s not sex and girls up there naked.”

Ronnie Spector’s innocence ended, but her music endures

While the powerhouse records of the Ronettes live on in girl-group pop immortality, the survival of the group’s frontwoman, Ronnie Spector, was not always as certain.

POP Montreal director Dan Seligman

POP Montreal is a city unto itself

Dan Seligman sat on a couch, underneath the weary old Simcha’s Fruit Market sign hanging on the wall above him. Simcha’s, as those who have spent time around the Main will know, was a landmark grocery store situated at the corner of St-Laurent Blvd. and Napoléon St. When it closed after 40 years, following the death of owner Simcha Leibovich in 2005, the POP Montreal director and his pal, Josh Dolgin, a.k.a. Socalled, rented a truck and picked up the sign off the sidewalk — its multiple layers of faded, bilingual lettering an ode to bygone eras of the city that Seligman’s festival has come to represent so well.
