John Walker and his film "Quebec My Country, Mon Pays"

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

hen I saw this movie last year at the Montreal Documentary Festival depicting the director's and other Anglophones' strong sentiments for Quebec, it seemed to me as a case of unrequited love. Anglo Quebecers were here for many generations, but with the rise of nationalist feelings among the francophone majority and the ensuing enactment of legislation that severely restricted the use of English in the province, a large number of Anglophones made the

• June 17, 2017

decision to leave. They no longer felt welcome in the land where, even though, they have been born and grown up. That trend to leave is still on, in particular among the young— which is unfortunate, because that would be a loss for everyone involved: the ones who leave and the society that may lose one very significant component of its culture. "Quebec my Country, Mon Pays," a film by John Walker that touches this sensitive issue is being released this coming week, and I had the chance to talk to the director about some of the premises of this documentary. Montreal Times: Tell us about this pain of leaving Quebec. John Walker: It is unsettling. Families are divided: there is no more of the regular celebrations together, Christmas, birthdays. It is the breaking-up of the family. It also brings an identity issue: Quebec was your place. If you leave, you don't have a place. MT: But then you left

JW: One feels that there wasn't a future for you in the province. MT: And you had deep roots in the province JW: I come from a family with Irish and Scottish roots, which had been established in Quebec for some generations. But my identity was Anglophone (even though we were not English or AngloSaxon, ours was a linguistic and cultural definition). When I was 8, I felt that the French kids didn't like you. I was 11 when there were bombs placed in mailboxes. Serenity gave way to fear. MT Paradoxically, however, in the movie you mention that you actually voted PQ. How is that? JW: I respected and understood the demands of the French-speaking people. I also had an understanding of Quebec culture. I was voting for social justice. The cultural side of the question I understood. I also saw the situation in the 1960s when people were rebelling against oppression represented by the Church and American capitalism. Anglos were

considered as part of that condition against which people were rebelling. MT: Which again brings the issue of identity… JW: My grandma used to say "challenge half-truths" which for me is to crave for a real sense of history. Who am I? Celtic? Identity is a positive thing. But identity is a question that is always there. MT: And in your case, judging for the many occasions in which the film shows the rural landscape of Quebec, that is also part of your view and your identity… JW: Yes. I feel a connection to the land, on my father's side, people were farmers. In "Quebec My Country, Mon Pays" those rural images are very specific.These are my memories. Above all, I also try to reflect my respect for the working people.That's my bond to Quebec, my country. "Quebec My Country, Mon Pays" will be screened this Monday, June 19 a 6:30 at the Cinema du Parc (as part of Cinémagique series), and at Cinema Beaubien starting June 23.

Just For Laughs: Doo-Wopping with the Doo Wops

or John Catucci and David Mesiano, better known as the satirical musical duo the Doo Wops, the Just For Laughs comedy festival has been quite good to them.

By Stuart Nulman mtltimes.ca

It all started for them more than 15 years ago, when they won the festival’s Homegrown Comic Competition, which led to their own “Comedy Now” TV special (which was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award). From there, they have done a number of subsequent appearances at Just For Laughs, including galas, the cross-Canada tour (where they performed alongside fellow Canadian comics Russell Peters and Jeremy

• June 17, 2017

Hotz), an American tour and the Wiseguys of Comedy tour, not to mention touring in clubs across North America, as well as performing at the Melbourne (Australia) Comedy Festival. “Just For Laughs has been an amazing experience for us, and getting to tour across Canada with Russell and Jeremy was an incredible moment in our career,” enthused both John and David during a recent phone interview. And this time, the Doo Wops takes the next Just For Laughs step and go from being wiseguys of comedy to “representing” Italy at this year’s Ethnic Show, which runs for a string of 19 shows at Club Soda and Metropolis from July 12-27. Joining them will be host Maz Jobrani, along with Jessica Kirson, Steve Byrne, Mike Rita and Vlad Caamano. The Doo Wops have their genesis around 18 years ago, when John and David were university students, and wanted to see how they could combine comedy and music into a single musical duo act. Their first show as a duo happened at the same time at the old Second

John Catucci

City venue in Toronto. They asked for stage time for a revue show called “Sketchy at Best” and got it; however, ethnically speaking, their act did not have an Italian angle to it. “Originally, we portrayed a pair of Argentinean folk singers with ridiculous accents who did cover versions of songs as if they were sung by the Gipsy Kings, but took themselves way too seriously,” said Catucci. “I even wore a vest that I always threw into the crowd with a great deal of flair.” “However, it got to the point where we wrote material for two shows: one for those two Argen-

tinean characters and the other for ourselves, and we decided to write more material for ourselves. But I still miss those Argentinean guys,” said Mesiano. Catucci and Mesiano admit that they will represent “Italian content” as they perform in their very first Ethnic Show, but add that Italian-Canadians are quite distinct from their paisans in the U.S. “Italian Canadians are very nice and not as loud and less abrasive than their American counterparts. They admit they are Canadians first, but still maintain a connection to Italy,” said Catucci. “Our set will not be

strictly Italian-related content; however, there might – no, most likely – be nudity,” he added. The pair realize that musical comedy duos are very few and far between, and for them, the key to survival in such a limited genre in the comedy world is their ongoing ability to make people laugh … and have a good sound at the same time. “If you are funny, yet your sound is crap, the audience won’t be inclined to listen. Doing an act of comedy and music is like doing a stadium concert that just happens to be funny, but without the onstage fireworks. But if those elements of sound and laughter work out, it can be a very powerful feeling,” said Mesiano. When they are not touring as the Doo Wops, Catucci and Mesiano delve into their own performance ventures. Mesiano continues to audition for roles in various movies and TV shows; and Catucci recently ended a five-season run of the Food Network series “You Gotta Eat Here!”, where he visited a series of popular North American eateries and sampled their unique

dishes (including Montreal’s Main Deli on St. Laurent Boulevard). “I did 150 episodes of ‘You Gotta Eat Here!’. And if you’re on a show that is on Canadian television for more than one season, that’s quite an accomplishment,” he said. “Right now, I am developing a new series that will be bigger and more delicious!” *** For more information – or to purchase tickets for the Ethnic Show or any other Just For Laughs show – go to: www.mtltimes.ca

ontrealers simply love a good party. We have festivals and special events all year long. During winter there is Igloofest, Montréal en Lumière and the Fête des neiges. During summer the festival season peaks with everything from the Grand Prix, Fringe Festival, FrancoFolies and the Jazz Festival - to the Carifiesta parade, Just for Laughs, Gay Pride and Osheaga Music festivals. There are also Literary and Arts festivals, Film festivals and even La Poutine Week - as well as plenty of community street festivals. And that is far from a complete list. Even with all those events, Mayor Coderre felt Montrealers needed to 'lift their spirits' and decided to put on a oneyear long mega-bash to celebrate the city's 375th anniversary. However, the reasoning behind it is still vague. It is not a 'semiseptcentennial' (350 years) or 'quadricentennial' (400 years) celebration. In fact, there is no official name for a 375th anniversary - and the cost of this mega-bash has now been estimated at $1,000,000,000. Yes, one billion. When the 375th celebration was first announced the city said it was 'on track to spend more than $200 million', then later announced that $329 million had been set aside for projects. In addition, there were contributions from the Federal and Provincial governments, as well as private commercial donations - of which from my understanding, added up to about $106 million. So how did the cost rise to such an astronomical amount? How much of it will be invested in capital works projects? How much of it will be flushed down the aging sewer system once the party is over? As the saying goes, 'you don't have to be a rocket scientist' to understand certain things - but in this case, just trying to figure out the numbers,

one might have to be. The $80 million project to upgrade St. Joseph’s Oratory might be a smart long-term investment but is the $3.4 million invested in granite 'tree stumps' on Mount Royal (that was widely protested) worth it? Or for that matter, the close to $40 million spent on lighting up the Jacques Cartier Bridge? Lighting up the huge structure was impressive, but once seen, many felt they would not be inclined to make a special trip to see it again and that the money could have gone towards other important things. In 2009, Toronto celebrated its 175th anniversary and worked with a $230,000 budget for a more modest celebration. When Vancouver celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2011 it spent around $6 million on a year-long festival. Montreal has far more urgent needs - such as fixing the roads, improving public transit, social housing and making sure the thousands of children living under the poverty line don't go hungry, than to spend one billion dollars on an anniversary party. Moreover, the goal of the 375th party is to celebrate the 'city's rich, culturally diverse communities and their history'. But the party appears to be missing its mark on exactly that - our rich, culturally diverse communities and their history. Montreal is amazingly multicultural. Besides our Francophone and Anglophone communities, one third of the city's population is enriched by Italians, Greeks, Haitians, Moroccans, Arab and Lebanese, Armenians, Japanese, Irish, Chinese, Latin Americans, Koreans, Chinese, Jewish and Aboriginal people - and more. Where is the real representation? If it was in the 'À nous Montréal' magazine distributed across the city, available in French only and featuring mostly white people, it was not obvious. Nor was it found on the official 375mtl.com website, which is in French and English - but why were some of the other languages spoken in Montreal such as Greek, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Creole, German, Arabic and Chinese not given at least a paragraph? Although there is certainly some activities that involve the city's cultural communities, it is not proportionate to Montreal's actual population. Mon-

treal's black community makes up almost 10% of the city's population and is the largest visible minority group - but lacked inclusion in most of the programs and events. The

tural identity, it really missed the mark - and was taken down from the city's web site and Facebook page when a flood of complaints flowed in. And it was not the first

community already voiced their concerns last July, saying the city was not doing enough to ensure their contributions were being properly represented in the celebrations. Activities and events they suggested were refused. The oversight of Montreal's culturally diverse communities became acutely apparent when a two-minute promo video, released last April for Montreal's 375th birthday celebrations, featured only white people. Meant to celebrate the city’s cul-

time. Last November, another 375th video that was released also excluded non-white people. At the time, the Aboriginal community took notice. The video did not reflect the reality of Montreal and they were concerned the city's long history with the Indigenous community would be left out. "I think people don't know there are 26,000 urban Aboriginal Montrealers. We are here, and we are multitalented, doing all different kinds of work … and yet, people

www.mtltimes.ca

don't recognize us," Nakuset, co-chair of the Montreal Urban Aboriginal Community Strategy Network was quoted as saying to CBC. "We were not consulted. Our projects were put forward, and they were denied." It seems the lesson was not learned. To be fair, there have been some events and activities that well captured the public's interest, like the Classique Montréalaise pond hockey tournament last January, the Montréal Avudo multimedia show in the Old Port, the recent Giant Marionettes roaming the city streets and plenty of unique entertainment at the Quartier des spectacles - and there is more to come. But to date, attendance has come nowhere near the numbers to justify the money spent. One billion of our tax dollars has been put into the celebration. Have you attended any of the events or plan to? Do you feel the money could have been better spent elsewhere? And the question remains, is Montreal's $1 billion party missing the mark?

This fact comes with a long history attached: Once part of the principality of Catalonia, Roussillon was passed between Spain and France for hundreds of years. What's not to love about Roussillon?.

There are excellent white wines made in Roussillon, as well, and while the reds may take the lion’s share ( 69% of the production is red), the whites, made from Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Macabeu, Muscat and other grapes, have elicited great interest recently, especially among winemakers.

Don’t wait for these 8 danger signs Sponsored

hen one of these symptoms occurs make sure to consult your chiropractor without delay. 1. Headaches may be a warning sign of a pinched nerve at the base of your skull, which could eventually develop into a more serious condition such as chronic headaches. 2. Nervousness, many suffer from being nervous, however most don’t realize it is a warning sign that the nervous system is out of balance. 3. Neck pain is an indication that the normal flow of nerve impulses, vital to good health, has been affected. Chiropractors are trained to make the necessary corrections and allow normal nerve flow. 4. Pain between the shoulder blades can be related to indigestion, heartburn, gas and ab-

dominal bloating. 5. Painful joints can interfere with your body’s movements and when not dealt with quickly can cause permanent impediments. 6. Pain in arms or legs signifies that’s a vital health problem has been ignored and has extended into your limbs. The further the pain is from the core, the more severe the problem has become. 7. Numbness in hands or feet can be due to repetitive micro trauma. Regain your body’s mobility and consult your chiropractor. 8. Backaches can be due to the spinal column being out of alignment, causing you to be susceptible to injury, additional pain and suffering. Doctors of Chiropractic are especially trained to help alleviate these 8 danger signs. If you suffer from one or more of

them, do not ignore your pain, seek help as pain eventually resurfaces and decreases your quality of life. It can also transcend into increased damage that may progress into a more serious health concern.

A Little “app” About Cancer, for kids

WICWC Activity workbook for children dealing with a family member affected by cancer, is now digital

he West Island Cancer Wellness C e n t r e (WICWC) is VERY excited to launch A Little “app” About Cancer, the digital version of A Little Book About Cancer. In October 2014, the WICWC launched the 40-page workbook aimed at elementary school children to help them cope with a close family member living with cancer.The workbook was the brainchild of Kasia Whitelaw, a student at McGill University whose mother was diagnosed with cancer (for the second time) when Kasia was only 6 years old. “I was very young when my mother got cancer. I really didn’t understand what was happening and how my mother’s illness affected me. I have since come to realize that there is a need for children living with a family member affected by cancer to understand what the illness means to them, personally”, explains Kasia. Over 6000 books were distributed in the Greater Montreal area. “The activ-

• June 17, 2017

ity workbook was very well received but our goal was to get it in the hands of every child across Canada who is going through this. Going digital was not only logical due to logistics but many kids today are using tablets”, says Debbie Magwood, Founder and Executive Director of the WICWC. A Little “app” About Cancer is exactly like the activity workbook in that it doesn’t set out to act as a guide to explain the disease but it includes 30+ pages of age-appropriate, colourful interactive exercises and allows kids to ‘let it all out’ and work through what cancer means to them. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, four to seven year-old children often believe their actions or thoughts are the cause to their parents’ cancer, whereas school-aged children develop feelings of anger, anguish, guilt and fear. The app aims at mitigating this undue stress. According to Dr. Marc Hamel, Clinical Director, Couple and Family Therapist at the McGill Univer-

sity Health Centre (MUHC), A Little Book About Cancer is a healthy outlet for children. The workbook is a way to allow them to express their anger and fears; and, equally important, for adults to open the lines of communication with their children about the subject. “Parents are often scared to talk about cancer with their children because they want to protect them from experiencing pain,” says Dr. Hamel. “Children need to express how they feel about what is happening in the family. The Little Book About Cancer gives parents a means of engaging their children in a conversation about cancer and an outlet for the children to vent.” Thanks to the

generous support of Amgen, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck and Novartis Oncology, the WICWC worked for several months with appwapp, a local company to develop the app. For the first phase of the app launch, the centre is targeting the following in Quebec and Ontario: Oncologists/Hematologists, medical clinics, cancer related community resources and school boards. Eventually they hope to launch across Canada. The app is free.

Meet Lou the Rabbit

e ringing a pet rabbit into the family was not what Carol Benart of Outremont ever imagined, but when a good friend of her daughter was moving back to Wales with her family, she was not able to take her rabbit Lou with her and was looking for a new home for him. Lou was around three years old at the time and came with a big cage, toys, litter, a big bag of food and had been neutered - which was a big plus for Carol and her husband. He has now lived with them for close to three years. "We knew the family well and when my daughter came home from school one day, she told us we needed to take care of Lou," said Carol. "Although I must admit I didn't know much about rabbits… except that they were known for making messes and chewing things - but Lou

changed all that!" Although he has big pen where he can run around in, it turned out Lou was actually very well trained.

"Having been neutered really helped. We let him out of his pen often and he usually just likes to hop around a bit and then hang around near us. But the best part is that he was trained to use a litter box! Sometimes though, he has an accident but it is not very often. Still, we do need to keep an eye on him." He also likes to play

with toys. "He has a few plastic balls and even some cat toys that he plays with… if you toss a ball to him, he usually bats it back and then sits up and waits until we throw it again. And we also bought one of those collapsible cat tunnels he just loves to run through." Rabbits still require quite a bit of work. "Lou needs quite a few things done daily. He needs his cage and litter box cleaned out, fresh water, green leafy vegetables that need to be properly cleaned… and his playtime! All in all though, we have come to adore him - and he gets to see his first family when they visit." Seems like Lou's world is really… hopping!
