			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>English follows French</em></p>
<p>Connaissez-vous bien vos députés? Vous savez certainement de quoi ils ont l&#8217;air (ou pas), leur formation (ou pas&#8230; et je ne dis pas qu&#8217;ils n&#8217;ont pas de formation!), etc. MAIS connaissez-vous leur sens de l&#8217;humour? Pour le bénéfice de tous, voici quelques trucs cocasses qu&#8217;ont dit nos députés. Tout cela est tiré du Hansard ou des délibérations des comités (disponibles sur le site du Parlement Canadien, au <a href="http://www.parl.gc.ca/">www.parl.gc.ca</a>).</p>
<p>Do you really know your MPs? You probably know what they look like (or not), what they did before (or not&#8230; and I&#8217;m not saying they haven&#8217;t done a thing!), etc. BUT do you know their sense of humor? For everyone&#8217;s pleasure, here are a few funny things our MPs have said. Everything is in the Hansard or on the committees&#8217; evidence (all available on the Parliament of Canada&#8217;s website, at <a href="http://www.parl.gc.ca">www.parl.gc.ca</a>)</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ici, on fait allusion à la possible coalition PLC-NPD appuyée par le Bloc, juste avant la prorogation du Parlement en décembre 2008. Pour le contexte, c&#8217;est au sujet des membres qui formeront un sous-comité créé par le comité de la procédure :</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Here, we&#8217;re making reference to the possible coalition LPC-NDP, supported by the Bloc, right before the Parliament&#8217;s prorogation in December 2008. For context, it&#8217;s regarding the members who will be part of a subcommittee created by the procedure committee:<br />
</span></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<div><strong><span class="WebOption">M. Michel Guimond</span>: </strong></div>
<p>Je suis prêt à vous donner le nom: c&#8217;est Mme DeBellefeuille qui siégera pour le Bloc québécois.</p>
<div><strong><span class="WebOption">M. Michel Guimond</span>: </strong></div>
<p>On aura deux « blocs »: un député du Bloc québécois et Mme Kelly Block! <span style="color:#0000ff;">On va avoir la majorité</span>.</p>
<div>
<div><strong><span class="WebOption">The Chair</span>: </strong></div>
</div>
<div>Then our “Block” will be there too.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div><strong><span class="WebOption">Mr. Michel Guimond</span>: </strong></div>
</div>
<div>We have <span style="color:#0000ff;">a new kid on the block</span>.</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
<div></div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">M. Plamondon fait des blagues à propos de l&#8217;avenir du premier ministre. Première journée de la 2e session de la 40e législature :</span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Mr. Plamondon is making jokes about the Prime Minister&#8217;s future. First day of the 2nd session of the 40th Parliament:<br />
</span></strong></div>
<blockquote>
<div><strong><span class="WebOption">M. Louis Plamondon (Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, BQ)</span>: </strong></div>
<div>Monsieur le Président, en ce début d&#8217;année, je voudrais d&#8217;abord offrir mes meilleurs voeux à la population de mon comté, de même qu&#8217;à tous les parlementaires présents ici, en particulier à mes collègues du Bloc québécois. <span style="color:#0000ff;">Il m&#8217;est arrivé également de souhaiter une bonne année au <span class="WebOption">premier ministre</span>, mais il m&#8217;a répondu que j&#8217;étais bien généreux et que la plupart des gens lui souhaitaient seulement un mois</span>.</div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Certains font semblant d&#8217;être autoritaires. Élection du président suppléant lors de la première séance du comité sur les affaires étrangères en 1998 :</span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Some try to look authoritative. Acting chariman&#8217;s election, 1st meeting of the committe on foreign affairs in 1998:<br />
</span></strong></div>
<div>

<p align="left">(Motion agreed to)</p>
<p align="left"><strong>The Clerk:</strong> I declare Bob Mills duly  elected acting chair of  the committee and invite him to take the chair.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>The Acting Chairman (Mr. Bob Mills (Red Deer, Ref.)):</strong> <span style="color:#0000ff;">Okay now, this is the way it&#8217;s going to be, you guys,  so lock the doors. </span></p>

<div>
<blockquote>
<div><strong><span class="WebOption">The Chair</span>: </strong> I&#8217;d just like to add that I know the Prime Minister has made comments that <span style="color:#0000ff;">he sees larger and larger people </span>coming out for veterans day ceremonies across the country from year to year, so it&#8217;s good to see.</p>
<div>[...]</div>
</div>
<div>
<div><strong><span class="WebOption">Mr. David Sweet (Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, CPC)</span>: </strong></div>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Our chairman meant larger numbers of people, not larger people</span>, are coming out to the events.</p>
<div><strong>Voices:</strong> Oh, oh!</div>
<p><strong>Mr. David Sweet:</strong> <span style="color:#0000ff;">There might be a number of larger people in the larger numbers</span>!</div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<p align="left"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Une fille s&#8217;essaie!</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Il y a 2-3 semaines, je me suis dit que ma résolution pour 2009 serait de passer moins de temps à Montréal et plus de temps à Ottawa, question de faire ma vie ici, au lieu de jongler entre les deux. Je me disais que j&#8217;aurais peut-être plus de chances de tomber en amour à nouveau avec un gars ici, parce que, well, ça fait vraiment longtemps que je n&#8217;ai pas eu de gars dans ma vie.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Mais comme les résolutions sont toujours des choses qu&#8217;on ne peut jamais tenir, le destin a frappé. Je serai souvent à Montréal l&#8217;année prochaine. J&#8217;ai repris avec un de mes ex d&#8217;il y a 4 ans. Il semble avoir pris de l&#8217;assurance et savoir ce qu&#8217;il veut. Et d&#8217;ailleurs, c&#8217;est le seul qui a jamais voulu des enfants, ce qui est important pour moi. Et je l&#8217;ai revu, et j&#8217;ai eu des papillons.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Je me sens bien. Va falloir me trouver une autre résolution pour 2009!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mardi, c&#8217;est le jour du souvenir, et&#8230; je me rends compte que je n&#8217;y ai jamais vraiment porté attention auparavant. Pour moi, c&#8217;était une journée de congé au cégep/à l&#8217;université. Et j&#8217;imagine qu&#8217;au Québec, on s&#8217;accroche moins à cette journée en souvenir des morts de guerre, qui ne concerne pas que le Canada, pourtant.</p>
<p>En Ontario, en tous les cas, on sent bien que c&#8217;est hyper important. Depuis 2 semaines, je vois tout plein de monde dans la rue avec un coquelicot rouge sur leur manteau. Il me semble qu&#8217;au Québec, j&#8217;en voyais beaucoup beaucoup moins. Est-ce parce que les Québécois ont trop à coeur le &laquo;&nbsp;Je me souviens&nbsp;&raquo; (qui ne concerne pas du tout les morts de guerre, bien entendu) ?</p>
<p>Même si nous nous souvenons que nés sous le Lys, nous croissons sous la Rose, faudrait peut-être aussi se rappeler ce poème :</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Nous sommes morts,<br />
Nous qui songions la veille encor&#8217;<br />
À nos parents, à nos amis,<br />
C&#8217;est nous qui reposons ici,<br />
Au champ d&#8217;honneur.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>N&#8217;oublions pas nos parents, nos grand-parents, notre famille élargie, nos amis, etc. qui ont vécu la guerre. C&#8217;est une fête canadienne, américaine, britannique et française importante, malgré le peu d&#8217;attention qu&#8217;on y porte au Québec. C&#8217;est loin d&#8217;être la fête du Canada, là&#8230; Ayez une petite pensée pour toutes ces personnes mardi, coquelicot ou pas.<em><br />
</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>English follows French</p>
<p>Aujourd&#8217;hui, c&#8217;est jour d&#8217;élection au Canada. Vous tous, que vous soyez Terre-Neuviens, Néo-Écossais, Néo-Brunswickois, Prince-Édouardiens, Québécois, Ontariens, Manitobains, Saskatchewannais, Albertains, Britanno-Colombiens, Yukonais, Ténois ou Nunavois, vous êtes appelés aux urnes, donc ALLEZ VOTER!</p>
<p>Surtout si vous ne voulez pas qu&#8217;Harper et sa politique de droite qui laisse à désirer (pensez aux dossiers sur l&#8217;environnement, la culture, l&#8217;armée&#8230;), il faut voter. Mais je connais bien la situation : pour qui voter? La gauche est tellement divisée, c&#8217;est dur de s&#8217;y retrouver. Cependant, au fond, la gauche c&#8217;est la gauche. Les dossiers que j&#8217;ai nommé, tous les partis de gauche ont de bonnes idées. Et je crois que les quatre partis de l&#8217;opposition peuvent collaborer pour arriver à un Canada meilleur.</p>
<p>Donc, si votre seule raison de ne pas aller voter, selon vous, c&#8217;est que vous ne savez pas pour qui voter, ou encore que vous vous dites que votre vote ne compte pas tellement parmi une foule d&#8217;autres votes, consultez ce site et voter intelligemment (ou stratégiquement) :</p>
<p><a title="http://www.voterpourlenvironnement.org/" href="http://www.voterpourlenvironnement.org/">http://www.voterpourlenvironnement.org/</a></p>
<p>Qu&#8217;est-ce que vous faites encore à me lire? Allez voter, vous avez jusqu&#8217;à 21h30 ce soir, pour l&#8217;heure de l&#8217;Est!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Today, it&#8217;s election day in Canada. All of you, no matter which province or territory you live in, are called out to vote, so go VOTE!</p>
<p>Especially if you don&#8217;t want Harper and his shitty right wing politic (just think about the environment, the culture and the army), it&#8217;s important to vote. But I know the situation: who should I vote for? The left wing is so divided, it&#8217;s hard to choose. Just remember something: fondamentally, the left wing is the left wing, no matter the party. For all the fields I listed, all the left wing parties have good ideas. I strongly believe that all four parties can work together to build a stronger Canada.</p>
<p>So if your only reason for not going out to vote today, according to you, is that you don&#8217;t know whom to vote for, or that you tell yourself that your vote doesn&#8217;t count amongst a lot of different votes, please visit this website and vote smartly (or strategically):</p>
<p><a title="http://www.voteforenvironment.ca/" href="http://www.voteforenvironment.ca/">http://www.voteforenvironment.ca/</a></p>
<p>So, what are you waiting for? I have nothing more to say, go vote, you have until 9:30 pm for the EST.</p>

<p>Ça fait une semaine qu&#8217;au travail, je traite d&#8217;un document portant sur tous les protocoles entourant les repas officieux.</p>
<p>En faisant plus de recherche, j&#8217;ai découvert quelques trucs intéressants sur l&#8217;origine du &laquo;&nbsp;toast&nbsp;&raquo;.</p>
<p>Le saviez-vous?</p>
<p>Au Moyen-Âge, le &laquo;&nbsp;tchin-tchin&nbsp;&raquo; était un moyen de s&#8217;assurer ne pas se faire empoisonner. Le premier frappait son verre contre l&#8217;autre, pour être certain qu&#8217;un peu de son vin aille vers l&#8217;autre coupe, et vice-versa. À y penser, &laquo;&nbsp;tchin-tchin&nbsp;&raquo; ressemble un peu au parler québécois, quand on dit &laquo;&nbsp;kin toé!&nbsp;&raquo; ou &laquo;&nbsp;tchin toé!&nbsp;&raquo; (tiens, toi!) Mais ce n&#8217;est qu&#8217;une hypothèse douteuse de mon cru héhé</p>
<p>Plus tard, en Angleterre, la coutume voulait que lorsqu&#8217;on voulait honorer quelqu&#8217;un, on mettait une tranche de pain grillée et épicée dans une coupe de vin. Chacun en buvait une gorgée, jusqu&#8217;à la personne honorée, qui elle buvait le reste du vin et pouvait manger la tranche de pain imbibée d&#8217;alcool.</p>
<p>Le mot &laquo;&nbsp;toast&nbsp;&raquo; est resté, malgré le fait que la rôtie ne fait plus partie du rite. On dit cependant que la personne à laquelle on porte le toast donne le même goût au vin que le goût épicé de la tranche de pain.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been working on a document on protocols for formal meals, for about a week now.</p>
<p>By doing more research, I found out interesting facts about the &laquo;&nbsp;toast&nbsp;&raquo; origins.</p>
<p>Did you know?</p>
<p>In the Middle Ages, people would clink glasses to make sure they are not being poisoned. A person would hit his/her glass against the other one&#8217;s, so that some of his/her wine get into the other person&#8217;s glass, and vice versa.</p>
<p>Later, in England, the custom was to honour someone by putting a browned and spiced toast into a wine of glass, everyone would have a sip from that glass. Then, the person toasted would drink what was left of the wine, and could eat the toast, which was full of alcohol.</p>
<p>Now, the word &laquo;&nbsp;toast&nbsp;&raquo; remained from that time, even though no toast is used. We say, though, that the person toasted gives the same taste than the spiced toast to the wine.</p>
