illary Clinton Hillary Clinton is coming to Montreal on October 23rd as part of her USA and Canadian book tour and live shows. Her book isn't a political account of the 2016 US election, but rather an account of her personal experience during that time. She shares personal and raw details that sometimes are "surprisingly funny". What Happened takes you through Clinton's mind and reasoning and what happens next for her. As a live performance, she'll also shares her "experience as a woman in politics" and being the first female candidate to be nominated by a leading party for the race of US President.

Her live show in Montreal will take place at Le Palais des Congrès of Montreal at 6:30 p.m. Plat-

problems or add new items to the discussion.

In the answers they have given in writing, four of the five candidates expressed their support for changing the current law that in fact places the Ville Marie Borough in a sort of trusteeship. This is the only borough that doesn't elect its own mayor since whoever wins the city mayoralty also becomes the mayor of Ville Marie. To make things even worse, the mayor also has the power to appoint two other councillors from other boroughs as members of the Ville Marie council, a move that only serves the purpose of assuring the mayor a majority.

fian indicated in her written response that "Projet Montréal commits to making presentations to Quebec City in order to reverse the trusteeship of the borough which deprives its citizens of true democratic representation."

The abolition of the right to hold a referendum on some controversial projects also marked a difference between Ms. Wong who said that "referendums are often polarized and divide citizens, rather than bring them toward a collective consensus. Think about, for example, referendums that ban places of worship. The referendum divided citizens rather than united them to develop a communal vision" and the other candidates. Steve Shanahan answered very emphatically: "I support bringing the referendum tool back as it was." John Symon answered in similar terms: "The right to referendums should be fully restored."

Public transportation and homelessness in the downtown area were also topics that interested the audience. The controversial REM project is supported by the Coderre Team and by Projet Montréal, although with some conditions, while on this issue independent candidate Liy-

ouse Kilani is more skeptic: "is not a wise idea" she wrote. For Symon however it is an absolute no-no: "the REM is outrageously expensive among other problems, and many, much more practical improvements to public transit are possible.

The Coalition proposes the Ligne du savoir blue line extension."

The issue of more space for pedestrians and cyclists got the more general agreement, Ms. Kilani, however, wants Sainte Catherine entirely converted into a pedestrian street, but Shanahan prefers that major street to "be flexible and adjustable to dynamic needs."

Attendance to the debate was not too numerous, but at least it showed an interest on the part of residents in an area that in recent years have been affected by many changes while there is an increasing perception that the residents of downtown have been neglected for too long.

That's why it is crucial that on November 5 voters in this district go to the polls (in the last election the turnout was too small), after all, it is their opportunity to make their voices heard and perhaps, change things for the better.

11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale

MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair.

That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home.

If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

Elkhart Lake: A hidden gem for auto racing, foodies and pottery

ELKHART LAKE, WISCONSIN – Towards the end of this past summer, I decided to participate in a press tour to the charming resort town of Elkhart Lake,Wisconsin. After enjoying what this small town – located 40 miles northwest of Milwaukee in the heart of the state’s Kettle Moraine State Forest – had to offer when it came to its breathtaking natural scenery and its wide range of attractions, activities and events that expands its year-round population of only 967 people to thousands of visitors and cottage dwellers every summer (not to mention autumn and Christmas time), one impression came to mind: Elkhart Lake is a hidden gem.

Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night by Jason Zinoman

D

By Stuart Nulman mtltimes.ca

(Harper, $35.99)

avid Letterman at best, can be described as an “anti-talk show host”. For more than 30 years on the late night TV talk show circuit, Letterman’s two talk shows broke all the conventions that are usually associated with a late night talk show, took the elements of what “Tonight Show” hosts Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Johnny Carson respectively brought to the show – elements that influenced Letterman – and created a show that he tailored to his ironic, unconventional style of humour. The end result was a show that had a growing cult following, thanks to segments like “Stupid Pet Tricks”, the

• October 21, 2017

“Top 10 List” and “Viewer Mail”, and making stars out of the most ordinary and unlikely people, such as book publicist Meg Parsont, hack actor Larry “Bud” Melman and even Dave’s mom.

As New York Times critic Jason Zinoman writes in his probing biography Letterman:The Last Giant of Late Night: “Late Night appealed to the same voyeuristic pleasures that would soon be exploited by the reality show genre. It had its own contrived narrative that its fans followed closely, and after a decade of peeling back the artifice of his show, Letterman invited you to see him as the protagonist of his own drama. … You might say

that Late Night with David Letterman became what happened when one talk show host stopped being polite and started getting real.”

Zinoman traces the life and career of David Letterman with a great deal of thoroughness, as he speaks with many of his former writers, producers and staffers to get a portrait of an individual who carved out a brilliant career on television because he constantly went for the unconventional and proved to be a breath of fresh air as a result, yet off the air, he was a walking bundle of insecurity, self doubt and self loathing.

From his abortive

morning talk show on NBC during the summer of 1980 (which I watched and marveled at during his very short run on the network’s daytime line-up), to the growing pains of “Late Night”, to superstardom on “The Late Show”, the book deals with the evolution of an unconventional, one of a kind TV personality who wanted to be like Johnny Carson without exactly being Carson.

If there is one unsung hero who is to be heralded in this book as to being the one who molded David Letterman into the cult figure that he is regarded as today, and that is Merrill Markoe.The talented comedy writer and author – who was also Letterman’s longtime girlfriend throughout the 1980s – helped to create the regular segments that made “Late Night with David Letterman” such a popular show with viewers who wanted a break from the conventional format that “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” regularly offered (and earned Letterman a number of Emmy Awards).

www.mtltimes.ca

Basically, those early, revolutionary years on NBC helped to cement Letterman’s reputation as a late night talk show giant. However, as a result of his bitter battle with Jay Leno over who would succeed Carson as “Tonight Show” host, not to mention the influx of younger hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’Brien, Letterman’s feelings of self loathing grew even deeper, as he began to rely on his writing staff on a diminishing basis (which resulted in many of those writers defecting to the writing staffs of hit TV sitcoms or competing talk shows), preferring more celebrity interviews or his increasing abilities as a storyteller. By the time his show went off the air in 2015, Letterman became more introverted, eschewed rehearsals and basically sleepwalked through the motions as host. Even the work atmosphere at the production office was toxic, with his remaining writers and staffers subjected to lengthy post-mortem meetings following show tapings, in which Letter-

man just rambled on for hours with lengthy monologues about his life and insecurities.

These days, Letterman is more or less living a comfortable, hermit-like existence with his wife and son, and is unrecognizable with the large, philosopher-style beard he has grown since his departure from the airwaves (although he has recently broke his silence, with his limited engagement as guest co-host on Turner Classic Movies’ (TCM) weekly program “The Essentials”).

Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night is an absorbing study of a rather enigmatic TV personality who became an iconic figure because he set new, revolutionary standards of how the late night TV talk show should be done … yet he hated every minute of it!

HospitalierUniversitaire Ste-Justine and the Montreal Children's Hospital.

The illness of a child can unfortunately put families into precarious financial situations, causing stress to the parents who may be forced to leave their jobs temporarily or relocate to Montreal to be with their children while they recover, resulting in a reduced income. Once again, the Marcelle & Jean Coutu Foundation was there to help, allowing Sun Youth to assist those families by paying part of their expenses.

Without the continued financial support of the Marcelle & Jean Coutu Foundation these programs would not be made possible. Over the last 20 years, the Marcelle & Jean Coutu Foundation has donated close to $1.6 million to support Sun Youth's community services, creating a relationship that has helped define the organization as an institution that contributes to the well-being of the community throughout Montreal and Quebec.

Fifth anniversary edition of Au Contraire Film Festival

I

t’s amazing about the power of motion pictures, and how they can raise awareness and break down stereotypes and stigmas that are associated with certain sensitive issues.

Case in point is the wide-reaching issue of mental illness, and the importance of exploring being made aware of different mental health issues from around the world from different viewpoints. This where the Au Contraire Film Festival comes in. It 5th anniversary edition is set to take place at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts from October 24 to 27.

With its mission to raise awareness of multiple mental health issues through screenings of thought-provoking, edgy films, as well as panel discussions with producers, writers, actors and mental health professionals, the Au Contraire Film Festival begins on October 24 with the Canadian premiere of the film “Elizabeth Blue” by Vincent Sabella, which tells the story of how something like true love cannot be broken by mental illness.

Before the screening, award-winning musician and author Florence K, this year’s festival spokesperson, will talk about how she dealt with her struggle with severe depression.

October 25 is the festival’s “Soiree Lumiere”

tive disorder through music.

October 26 is dedicated to documentaries, and will feature the screening of such films as “Fomo Sapiens” from Sweden, and “32 Pills: My Sister’s Suicide”, which recounts the life of New York artist and photographer Ruth Litoff and her tragic struggles with mental illness, and how her sister Hope – who also directed the film – coped with her tragic death.

The festival concludes on October 27 with three different programs. They include screenings of several films that deal with how large and small-scale companies deal with the

s a non-profit organization, Sun Youth provides emergency assistance to people in financial distress to ensure their well-being. Since 1997, the Marcelle & Jean Coutu Foundation has allowed the organization to help sick people through its medication program. Following the reform of Quebec's Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan, this service was initially established to provide financial assistance to senior citizens for whom this reform led to increased monthly medication expenses.

Today, it is intended for all low income individuals covered by this Insurance plan and helps pay their bills for prescription medication as well as medical equipment not reimbursed by the Quebec Public Insurance Plan up to the maximum required monthly contribution.

In 2005, Sun Youth created the Children’s help program designed to help families during a period where a child is very sick and treated at Centre

2 great locations to watch the game

f you are craving a nononsense, generouslyportioned and wholesome dining experience, in an iconic setting that is a Montreal establishment, you’ll want to settle down to a meal at Bar-B Barn. We have all noticed the impossible-to-miss yellow and brown restaurants

at either of the two locations: Guy street downtown or Sources boulevard on the West-Island. The decor has not changed since the restaurants opened, and this will give you the impression that you are going back in time.

illuminate the space, and the most special tiered bottle display at the West-Island location will certainly amuse you. Both restaurants offer the choice between a dining zone with big screen tvs and a sports game playing, or the quieter, more family-friendly area which is where we asked to be seated. The downtown location has five dining rooms and 225 seats, and the west-island location has 515 seats, so bring your friends and family without hesitation, you will be accommodated no matter how big your group is.

The downtown location was opened in 1967 and the West-Island restaurant opened thirteen years later, in 1980. Bar-B Barn is fa-

mous for its ribs and chicken. Our host for the evening, co-owner Tom McQueen, explained to us that he and his partners Manny and Dalton Barnoff ship their products as far as Western Canada, to longterm faithful customers in Calgary and even the Yukon!

My dining partner Wes and I decided that we wanted to try as many of the items on the menu as possible and our friendly waiter Nelson gladly brought us many dishes.

We started with a Caesar salad ($7, or $10 with added chicken). It was quite good, served with plenty of bacon bits, big crunchy croutons and good

homemade dressing. The garden salad ($7), also a generous portion, is made with fresh crunchy vegetables, and offered with a choice of three dressings, one of which was a house dressing, and my favourite.

Our next dish was a starter serving of chicken wings ($12 a pound), which came with three sauces ranging from mild to call 911 hot. The wings were plump and the meat was tender, and we left nothing on our plates but carefullypicked bones.

We were then served our main dishes, a Whole Hawg ($31, 9 maxi ribs), served with a choice of onion rings, crinkle fries or homemade mashed potatoes.

www.mtltimes.ca

This was an enormous portion, and since we asked to taste a bit of all the sides, so as to be able to write about it, I was able to say that the mashed potatoes were my favourite, and Wes preferred the fries, although we finished all of the tasty onion rings. The ribs, coated four times and cooked slowly for three hours, were quite tender and lip-smacking good. The second main dish was the quarter chicken ($10), also served with a choice of sides. The chicken is marinated for 24 hours in a dryrub, then also cooked slowly for two and half hours. The meat was buttery-tender and delicious.

Even though the food was

very good, the portions were so generous that we ended up taking some home.

Our desserts were just awesome. A rich plain cheesecake served with blueberry sauce ($6) and a slice of homemade apple pie ($4), which we chose not to have ice-cream with, but we could have, for an extra $2.

Nelson asked us if either of us was celebrating our birthday, since, if that had been the case, and upon us showing our id. He would have given the birthday celebrator an up to $25 discount on our meal. The menu offers many different sized portions to please all appetites, and a kids’ menu to boot.

If you want to take a step back to relax, and have yourselves a wholesome, no-nonsense plentiful meal, head over to either of the two Bar-B Barn locations.

WORST As a critic, I can say that this was a festival that presented a varied selection, of course, some of the most remarkable movies had already been shown at the Toronto and Venice festivals which meant that they came with a good reputation.

Others were great hits for the FNC such as the opening film which I commented on a previous occasion ("Blade Runner 2049" directed by Denis Villeneuve and now in theatres). A few other movies have also been released, and I strongly recommend. "Loving Vincent"

by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman a U.K.Polish co-production is a delightful animation film made in the painting style of Vincent van Gogh, with a splendid rendition of the colours and textures of the Dutch artist in each frame of the movie. The story is also fascinating since at times it takes the viewer through some mysterious aspects in van Gogh's death (officially

pronounced a suicide). I also recommend "The Young Karl Marx" ("Le jeune Karl Marx") directed by Haitian-born Raoul Beck, a GermanFrench-Belgian co-pro-

without much grace both formally and in content.

Unnecessary.

"Rey, l'histoire du français qui voulait devenir Roi de la Patagonie" ("Rey, The history of the Frenchman who wanted to become king of Patagonia") by Niles Atallah (Chile-France) focused on a fascinating subject (a few years ago it was the theme of a much better Argentinean film): the story of Antoine Orélie de Tounens, a French lawyer, turned adventurer in South America who in the 19th century convinced the Mapuche tribal chiefs to make him their king. Was he a crazy guy or a French secret agent behind some imperialistic designs? That has been a lingering question since the times of the strange incident. The filmmaker however never seems to decide whether he would make a film with a conventional narrative or an experimental, dream-like essay. Excessive use of vi-

"The Young Karl Marx" (directed by Raoul Beck) examines the early life of the revolutionary thinker. Recommended

duction that takes the spectator into some of the early developments in the life and thought of one of the most influential—and controversial— thinkers of contemporary times.The movie portrays not only the historical period in which Marx lived, his political and philosophical engagement but it also examines his human vicissitudes: his difficulties in making a living, his loving relationship with his wife Jenny, his debates with other socialist thinkers and activists at the time. There is also his meaningful friendship and political collaboration with fellow revolutionary Friedrich Engels.

Despite a good general selection, a festival always has some weak movies which present the question "why do we see this?"

Presented as a tribute to the filmmaker Chris Marker, "The Zone" by Quebec director Denys Desjardins was a display of images that didn't make much sense and in the end left the impression of something that has aged

sual effects designed to distort the images, in the end, produced a tiring effect of the spectator.

"Rey…" was another movie that shouldn't have been there.

In general, however, this new edition of the FNC has been satisfactory.

More importantly, it consolidates the diversity of Montreal's film festivals.

The FNC with its emphasis on innovation in cinematic language and daring topics, Fantasia covering the fantastic, science-fiction, and horror genres, and the World Film Festival—which I hope would eventually recover from its present critical state— focusing on the international film production of all kinds. Contrary to what some other colleagues have said in other media, I firmly believe that there is room for each of these events without one replacing or displacing the others. The problem lies now with those who control the money to fund these events because all of them deserve support.

The affects of stress on our brain and body Sponsored

A

By Sima Goel D.C. mtltimes.ca

new kind of stress is putting our health at far greater risk than most people realize. This new stress is directly linked to the high-tech, fast-paced world we all live in. We all subjected to constant, chronic low levels of physical, chemical and emotional stress all day every day. No human organism is designed to withstand that level of constant stress with manifesting into damage, degeneration and disease.

This constant, chronic low level of stress creates excessive over-stimulation of the sympathetic (survival nervous system) to the point where the brain can no longer cope or heal or flourish. Brain wave activity shifts, forcing the brain and body to pump out stress hormones like cortisol while depleting the brain of healthy, mood-balancing neurotransmitters like serotonin, and beta-endorphins. The result is brain fog, poor memory, poor sleep, poor adaptability, poor health, pain, depression and anxiety and more.

Is it any wonder that…

• Anxiety disorders are the most common of mental illness • Since 1988 the rate of

• October 21, 2017

antidepressant use has increased to by over 400% • Today 1 in 10 citizens ages 12 and over take antidepressant medication • Among adults over 50, staying mentally sharp now outranks social security and physical health as their top priority and concern.

• More than 2 billion people worldwide currently suffer from brain based health challenges People are suffering from brain stress without even realizing it’s the root cause of their health issues. All forms of stress cause our brains to go out of balance and rhythm and a brain out of balance always forces the body to go out of balance which manifests in some disease, malfunction or behavioral problem.

All forms of stress… physical, chemical or emotional as well as time stress, relationship stress, job stress, money stress— and on and on—can be called Brain Stress. Brain stress is the driving force behind the neurological epidemic we are now confronted with—and the consequence is the multitude of health epidemics ravaging our nation and planet—not only the major epidemics, but also lesser publicized epidemics such as migraine headaches, lower back pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, insomnia, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, sciatica and rapid aging.

Are you or anyone you know suffering from these effects of brain stress?

In today’s environment, treating the body without treating the brain is like slapping a fresh coat of paint on a condemned house; it may look like improvement from the outside, but the foundation is destined to crumble.

Fortunately, leaders in the field of mind/body health recognized the devastating effects of brain stress years ago and have spent more than two decades developing safe, drug-free solutions—technologies that work by harmonizing the brain, resulting in a new state that’s the opposite of fightor-flight, allowing the brain and body to go to work undoing the damage caused by brain stress and physical stress.

It is well documented and well researched that a properly given chiropractic adjustment normalizes and maximizes brain function.

The chiropractic adjustment reboots, rebalances and resets the brain and when the brain is balanced, once again, the body follows and we call this healing.

Quebec's Bill 62 - Gone Too Far or Not Far Enough?

Q

uebec's Liberal government went ahead and approved Bill 62, a move which brought immediate criticism from human rights groups and a wave of disapproval on social media. Bill 62, concerning religious neutrality, clearly targets one

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca

main group - Muslim women who cover their faces.

On Wednesday October 18th, members of the National Assembly voted 66-51 in favor of the law that prohibits anyone giving or receiving public services in the province to have their faces covered - 'anyone' meaning

Muslim women who choose to wear a niqab or burka for their religious beliefs. However, the legislation also forbids these women from wearing them on public buses and in other areas. Bill 62 is sure to appease those who have become antimuslim in all its shapes and forms - but there are many who see this part of the bill as purely discriminatory and even contravening Canada's Charter of Rights as well as the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

This comes from a government, who in the last provincial election condemned the Parti Quebecois for their planned 'Charter of Values', which would have prohibited public workers from wearing any religious symbols at all. And it comes from a government who promised if elected, while still prohibiting the full face covering, they would only apply the law to the province's public-sector workers and provincial institutions only - something the majority of Quebecers do support.

It contradicts the original stance they took on the issue - and conveniently comes in an election year where their re-election is being seriously challenged.

Opposition parties Coalition Avenir Québec and the Parti Québécois voted against the Bill, but only because they felt it actually didn't go far enough. They want all religious symbols banned, including kippahs, hijabs and turbans - and that the law should extend to judges, prison guards and

police officers. The PQ even wants 'the principle of secularism be enshrined in Quebec’s charter of human rights and freedoms'. It's their supporters the Liberals appear to be trying to 'accommodate' right now.

A big concern is coming from the union representing Montreal's bus and metro drivers - who do not want their drivers given the responsibility of enforcing the law, questioning how the government even expects them to do so. Drivers don't want to become niqab or burka police - and they shouldn't, as it could only lead to trouble, perhaps even violence.

On CBC Montreal's Daybreak, Quebec Justice Minister Stéphanie Vallée said 'the law is necessary for communication reasons, identification reasons and security reasons - and that the ban on face coverings would be for the duration of the service provided, meaning a niqab or burka would need to be removed for the entire bus ride'.

In the meantime, Montreal's Muslim community is also speaking out. A 21-

year-old Muslim woman, Zayneb Binruchd, said in a CBC report, she 'takes the bus regularly, as much as six times a day' and that she 'would rather stay home than take off her niqab to take a bus'.

"I go to mall with my friends, I go out, I go to the library, so it will just make me stay home," she was quoted as saying. "I don't have a car, I don't have anybody to drive me around, so it will just block me from the rest of the world... (if) I have to go to the hospital, if I go to court I will take it off, I have no problem at all, but give me a reason why I have to take it off and I will take it off. But there's no logic, there's no reason."

For now, the ban on wearing niqab or burkas (while receiving services) goes into effect immediately, but it is unclear about what public service workers should do with someone who has their face covered.

Much still has to be discussed and the details need to be ironed out, but whether you agree with Bill 62 or not - is it right that the vast majority of

Muslims, who are peaceful and completely oppose violence, are being singled out because of the actions of some extremist and radical, terrorist groups, who are not at all representative of their beliefs?

Is it right when only trying in the best way they are presently capable of, regardless of the racism and hatred they face, to integrate into our society?

Are we as a people, in a country which prides itself in freedom of speech, tolerance and respect of others, not capable of understanding what it might be like to flee horrific situations - coming from a completely different culture into one so very unfamiliar and then being judged and ostracized before even having the opportunity to learn, to trust and adapt? Until then, we might be the losers, by not allowing ourselves to learn from what they have to offer and contribute to our own diverse culture. Reasonable or unreasonable accommodation? Is there really no other way to confront the real issues? Your suggestions are welcome.

any people are unaware of the tremendous benefits of acupressure. It's an effective non invasive technique that uses pressure on traditional acupuncture points with fingers instead of needles. In recent evidence based research acupressure has been shown to be calming, relieves pain and induces relaxation.

It's an ancient Chinese method that involves applying pressure to meridian points on the body to relieve pain. The human

body has 365 pressure points and 12 main meridians that carry energy through the body.

These meridians connect to the brain and the organs associate with the specific meridian.

Acupuncture and acupressure use the same point, acupuncture uses needles but acupressure at the hands of a trained therapist uses gentle but firm pressure . Acupressure deals with all aspects of a person as whole and not as separate parts. It relaxes muscular tension and balances the vital life forces of the body.
