MODERN ENTREPRENEURS IN 2026…  By Bernard Bujold -  Just recently, the management of the city condo where I live decided to have the parking garage floor washed. To make the job easier, they hired a valet service to move the cars while the garage was being washed.  Like many of my neighbors in the condo building, I was hesitant and apprehensive about handing over my car keys to a valet service. I had discussed this with several neighbors, and they all told me they, too, felt uneasy and afraid. Furthermore, because I’m not comfortable with the property manager’s management style, I was worried about entrusting my car to her service provider.  On the Friday morning before the car wash, however, I ran into the director of the valet company—LUXE VALET—at the building’s reception desk, a man named Benny Prince, and he put my mind at ease right away. He wasn’t arrogant at all; he listened to my concerns, and within a few minutes, he managed to show me that he knew his vale...

CANADA DAY 2026—  By Bernard Bujold-  Canada Day has evolved alongside the country’s identity. It all began on July 1, 1867, with the coming into force of the British North America Act. This law united the first four provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Ontario) to form the Dominion of Canada. The annual holiday on July 1 was then called Dominion Day...  With the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982, by the government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Canada severed its last major legislative ties with London, and on October 27, 1982, a law officially designated July 1 as Canada Day.  In Quebec, July 1 is also traditionally known as “National Moving Day,” a tradition that dates back to an old law setting the end of residential leases on that specific date.  Personally, on this July 1, I’m going to hang on a wall in my living room the birthday gift Mark Carney gave me on June 28—a 5-pound (£5) note from the Bank of London featuring Winston C...

THE OLD MAN AND ULTIMATE HAPPINESS— By Bernard Bujold - Every year on June 28, it’s my birthday—the same date as my idol, Elon Musk… Elon turned 55 on June 28, and although he’s a few years younger than me, he’s become much richer than me—truly much wealthier—even though I’m the older one… As for me, for several years now, my birthday has become a sort of countdown to the time I have left, rather than a look toward a future that’s just beginning. For me, old age is like a sunset over the lake at the end of a day of fishing! I must acknowledge, however, that in this day and age, every day is in itself a new future, given how quickly things are changing—especially with artificial intelligence… In fact, despite my age, which stems from a different era, I’ve quickly become a huge fan of modern artificial intelligence—so much so that I’ve even chosen, virtually, the special guests to celebrate my 2026 birthday, including Donald Trump, Elon Musk, the beautiful Italian Giorgia Meloni (my type...
