his past Wednesday Canada became the second country in the world –after Uruguay– to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes.

And the response to this notable event in Canadian life was also quite spectacular in our city: by midafternoon the line to buy legal pot from downtown SQDC (Société québécoise du cannabis) on Ste. Catherine between Mansfield and Metcalfe counted many hundreds. Indeed it snaked around Metcalfe to finish at the entrance of the Sun Life Building, and by then more people kept arriving.

Observing the crowd gathered around the store, plus some dozens of journalists, TV crews, and a few curious bystanders, one had the opportunity to capture what was an exceptional moment.Two of those whom I interviewed actually used the term "historic" regarding the occasion, although one of them asked me to withdraw it, maybe he considered too grandiloquent. The crowd waiting to get into the store was very mixed, although with a predomi-

The end of prohibition, as one of the young men, characterized the moment, perhaps contributed also to an ambivalent attitude among the potential pot buyers: while they were happy to share the occasion, at the same time they had some reserva-

tions to provide their names or have their pictures taken. An understandable situation one

may say.

"We have been waiting for four hours," told us Louis Serre and Victor H., two francophone young men who didn't regret the long wait since for them the fact that the government is handling the sale of cannabis offers more guarantees on the safety of the product. They also emphasized the importance of this new era for those who need it for therapeutic purposes.

Michael Clarke also lining up for a long time, regarded the moment as "very meaningful" and added this was a small step to initiate a conversation toward a more progressive society. "Now it is very important that those charged with possession before this law went into effect that they should not have a criminal record," he said.

Two female Concordia students for their part asked not to reveal their identities, but they also underlined what the new legislation meant to them: "we'll get to know what effects this new situation of legal cannabis could bring to our society" and in regard to the products they indicated that "there will be more variety."

They also were very criti-

cal of the new provincial government's attempt to set the legal age to buy marijuana at 21, "no jurisdiction in the country has such a requirement," they said. "It would also contribute to a black market selling pot to young people," added one of them.

Cyr, a thirty-something francophone was there mostly because he wants to use cannabis to deal with pain. We finally the reach of the line just in front of the Sun Life Building, where Ryan and Zach were happy that this moment has finally come: "it's historic" said Ryan.

"An exciting time, the end of prohibition," they said in a very enthusiastic tone, somehow contrasting with the grey afternoon.

Indeed, the beginning of a new era regarding a substance whose use will remain controversial, but at the same time, an occasion to underline the libertarian character of the Canadian society.Without overlooking the fact that freedom should also be accompanied by responsibility.

Free Report Reveals How to Avoid Getting Stuck Owning Two Homes

514-827-5689 • info@westislandfleamarket.com 15674 Gouin Blvd. West, Ste-Genevieve H9H 1C4

MONTREAL - West Island - Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first.You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It's what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it's an extremely anxious position to find yourself in.

This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn't sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you never get caught in the Real Estate • October 20, 2018

Catch 22. Before you hire any professional, you should research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you'll find that most agents simply cannot make such a guarantee.

To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled "How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes".

To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.WestislandGuaranteedSold.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-727-7105 and enter 3005. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Are you part Zombie?

Montreal Zombie walk 2018

T

he Montreal Zombie Walk is a great gathering of good undead people who amaze the crowd with their creativity every year! Whether alone or in groups, the Zombie Walk is the show of thousands of participants who parade for free in the downtown area in a horrible and fun atmosphere!

Who is it?

You are the undead every year, but the Zombie Walk is also an organization. The Montreal Zombie Walk has been produced since 2011 by the non-profit organization of the same name, which was also named Les Productions M.A.L. until 2017.

Disguise yourself alone or with friends! Make yourselves up to look like the undead! Join us at the meeting site!

There is no minimal age to participate. The Montreal Zombie Walk is a family event. However, not all children (or adults) love zombies! We can understand why, by the way.

The event is FREE! Many ask if you can get zombie make up on the event departure site? No because service is not guaranteed each year. We encourage participants to create their own make-up and costume and then join us at the event on the day of the event.

Is it hard to do a zombie make up?

Yes and no ! It all depends on what kind of zombie you want to be ..

Are you a freshly contaminated zombie or a zombie that has been lurking for days and who has been having a rough time? • October 20, 2018

There are a lot of professional makeup artists in Montreal and Quebec if you have big ambitions, but if you want to participate without having a hard time there are several simple tutorials on Youtube.

What is the directive on hunters and weapons?

The decision on weapons and hunters is managed within different levels of the project stakeholders.. The first level, the production organization of the Zombie Walk, accepts weapons that are non-dangerous, non-cutting and not too realistic.

We accept the presence of undead hunters.

No realistic weapon will be tolerated.

The Zombie Walk accepts non-dangerous, non-cutting and very caricatural and not realistic weapons. However, the police department can refuse them.

However, the organization relies on the author-

ities in place who participate in the holding and the realization of this event (police and fire departments of the city of Montreal) if they decide to prohibit the wearing and use of weapons during the Zombie Walk.

The organisers thank you in respecting the merchants and their private domain. Do not act violently or damage the street furniture.

There is no point in doing too much! People will already be frightened to see this mass of zombies moving towards them. Humans are your friends, do not disturb them if they are not receptive. Leave the spectators alone and avoid confrontations.

Play the character! Children are not nourishing enough, avoid going to them.

Make a lot of noise, we want moans and a lot of extreme roar. Show off your cravings for brain

eating! Have Fun! Meeting time for Zombies: Saturday, October 27, 2018 at the Place du Canada, from noon, near the Bonaventure metro station ( rain or shine there will be a Zombie Walk! Be a predicting zombie with a good choice of clothes for the day.

Walking route: On Sainte-Catherine Street West, between Peel and Jeanne-Mance Streets.

Zombie Walk starting time: From 3pm. No late zombie please!

The Montreal Zombie Walk regroups a large team of volunteers to help at the production of this unique and free event for everyone! https://docs.google.com/for ms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkXbZrptRndS6ALLD0YoKUR6gNTmU9LHhxrxHTwlHyF4lX Q/viewform Look for our photographer so you can be front page the week after the event.

The Making of the October Crisis

by D’Arcy Jenish

O

n the morning of October 5, 1970, senior British trade commissioner to Montreal James Cross was forcibly kidnapped from his Westmount home by members of the Liberation Cell of the Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ); one of their chief demands in exchange for Cross’ life was for the Quebec government to release a number of FLQ “political prisoners” who have been jailed since 1963.

that led up to it – as well as its aftermath – in his latest book The Making of the October Crisis.

In a recent phone interview, Jenish stated that the genesis of his book came from an article that he wrote about the October Crisis, which was publish in the October 2010 issue of Legion magazine. “I got the chance to interview Robert Cote for the article, and he represented the law enforcement side as head of the Montreal Police Department bomb squad during this violent period between 1963 and 1970. He told me about the waves of bombings that occurred during that time, and how he busted the many rings of the FLQ,” he said. “When I was ready to write the book, Cote, who had all of his documents detailing his investigations of the bombings, introduced me to other Montreal police detectives who worked alongside him. And they had a lot of other documents themselves that helped to add to the story of the FLQ during the 60s.”

Jenish firmly believes that his mission to write the book was because he felt he had to present a factual, balanced account of the October Crisis and why it happened, because the current generation of Canadians have very little knowledge and understanding of this crucial event in modern Canadian history. “For many, what they only remember about the October Crisis are the War Measures Act and the ‘occupation of Quebec’ by the Canadian Army, which was absurd, because the first regiment to reach Montreal was the Royal 22nd Regiment (the Van Doos), who were based near Quebec City.

Many intellectuals and politicians used the October Crisis basically as a means to suit their own political agenda or strengthen the sover-

eignty movement during the 70s. However, this story is not just history on the hoof; it’s much larger than that,” he said.

During the course of his extensive research for the book, Jenish unearthed a treasure trove of information that has been rarely seen since their original publication during the 60s … copies of the FLQ’s newsletters “La Cognee” and “La Victoire”. “Those two newsletters helped to keep the fires stoked within the FLQ; it was the glue that held it together,” he said. “And combined with the intellectual leadership of people like Pierre Vallieres, the FLQ managed to keep the people of Quebec stirred up and easily pushed their young members into action.” continued next Page

Cultural appropriation - the debate continues

–a selection of songs created or interpreted by blacks during slavery– only two of the six performers were black. Betty Bonifassi, a white artist, was the lead singer. Eventually, after just a couple of performances, the Jazz Festival decided to cancel the show, in fact, one of the presentations had been suspended due to an accident suffered by Ms. Bonifassi, but the main reason given for the cancellation was the security issues that the whole affair had created.These security concerns were

tic director of the show, protested what he characterized as "censorship."

Many of the cultural and political commentators on the French side aligned themselves with Lepage.

The issue was what has been called "cultural appropriation," a concept difficult to define in the abstract, but in a context where there are dominant and dominated cultures, at least for those who partake in the dominated side, it is easy to understand.

Cultural appropriation could be seen then as an act by which members of the dominant or colonial culture make use of elements or images of a dominated culture (e.g. black, indigenous) for their own interpretation, without participation or consultation with the members of the historically subjugated group.

The issue was amply debated this past Monday at Concordia University during a debate titled "Cause or Conse-

quence—Cultural Appropriation or Cultural Hegemony" organized by Teesri Duniya Theatre and the Theatre Department of Concordia University.

The panelists were Xavier Huard, a francophone actor, member of the Menuentakuan Theatre; Rahul Varma, artistic director of Teesri Duniya Theatre, playwright; Floyd P. Favel, an indigenous playwright; and the anthropological researcher and art critic, James Oscar. Community activist and artist Deborah Forde was the moderator.

Huard titled his presentation "Reflections on the French Cultural MicroSystem of Quebec" which focused on the role of the francophone artistic community regarding this issue and the fact that this community itself was the subject of domination at one point. Varma for his part in an address called "It is Cultural Hegemony, and it is Systematic" delivered a strong criticism of Lepage's "Slav" making

The October Crisis cont’d continued from Page 6

But what compelled the FLQ to switch from bombings and bank robberies to kidnapping in 1970? Jenish believed they were inspired by a series of turbulent events in Latin America, where a great deal of political kidnappings took place at the time. “They were also inspired by the literature that was produced there, especially the Minimanual of the Urban Guerilla by Brazilian revolutionary Carlos Marighella,” he said.

“And by 1970, the FLQ believed that bombings became counter productive; how can you advance your cause if you keep blowing yourself up? That’s why they turned to kidnapping.”

And nearly 50 years since the tragic events of October 1970 occurred in Montreal at the hands of the FLQ, Jenish believes that the legacy of the Oc• October 20, 2018

through a lot of common sense, can deal with things like this without tearing the fabric of our country apart.”

The Making of the October Crisis is a book that finally gives a complete, well-rounded, factual account of one of the most darkest times in modern Canadian history, and the seven-and-a-half violent years that led up to October Crisis, from every bombing and robbery that took place, to the origins of the FLQ, to the all the major figures on both sides of the story that moved things to its tragic conclusion during that October of 1970.

also references to "Kanata," another controversial work by the renowned Quebec playwright in which the subject was indigenous history, but without the indigenous people. Varma reaffirmed the systematic character of this approach on the part of some authors from the hegemonic culture. Favel made an illustrative reference to his own experience as an indigenous playwright and the vicissitudes he had to

endure in his work. He stated that indigenous theatre should be an artistic genre with its own methods. James Oscar for his part approached the subject addressing issues of "good" and "common good" and how these notions relate to the discussion of cultural appropriation and identity.

Your healthy diet may be to blame!

A re you following all of the weight loss rules — counting calories, counting carbohydrates, exercising — and yet you are still struggling with those stubborn extra pounds? To make things worse, are you also experiencing a fatigue, achiness and bloating?

Your healthy diet may be to blame!

If you are experiencing a losing battle of the bulge and chronic health issues, it’s no wonder you are frustrated. I hear this over and over. “I wonder if I will ever feel better and will I ever get this stubborn weight off?” Guess what?

All of these symptoms can often be traced back to what you eat. Often the culprits are the very foods you’re eating in an effort to be healthy. The reason may be food intolerance. I talked last week about food intolerance. It is a negative reaction to certain foods that can sabotage your health by triggering inflammation and causing a host of nasty symptoms.

Unlike food allergies that are acute and severe, food intolerances can be difficult to pinpoint. If someone with a peanut allergy eats peanuts, she/he can go into anaphylactic shock and immediately need medical attention — this type of reaction is acute and severe. Someone with a food intolerance, on the other hand, will experience subtle symptoms that can worsen over time.

Food intolerances fire up your immune system just like food allergies do, but their effect is more subtle and symptoms may not appear for several hours or even days, after you’ve eaten a highly reactive food. So you may not make the connection between, say, the egg-white omelet you had for breakfast and that late-afternoon splitting headache.

Food intolerances develop when you repeatedly eat a highly reactive food…one that you react to. The reactive action is not the

www.mtltimes.ca

same for everyone. Different people react to different foods.

Food intolerances can trigger a leaky gut, immune reactions and inflammation, and they can also stall fast fat loss.

Food intolerances trigger numerous symptoms.

By Donna Byrne mtltimes.ca

If you recognize even one of these symptoms, you could be suffering from a food intolerance. Digestive trouble – bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, sleep issues – fatigue, insomnia, restlessness, waking during the night, congestion, sneezing and coughing, muscle aches and joint pain, dark circles under your eyes, dull, lifeless hair, skin problems, including acne and rosacea, mood problems – lack of focus, brain fog, depression, anxiety or irritability, poor or unsteady energy, premature aging, weight gain or inability to lose weight. This is a long list and so many of us probably experience some of these symptoms and have no idea to what they are related.

Because food intolerances trigger an immune reaction, they can also cause inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is connected to just about every disease on the planet, from dementia to cancer. Inflammation also makes fat loss impossible.

So what do we do about it? Like most of what I have been talking about for years is “We must take charge of our health”. To do this we have to know

our individual needs as we can determine by doing the Micronutrient blood testing. This test lets us know what deficiencies we have and how to replenish them. Next we can test for food intolerances. This is a laboratory test looking at a long list of possibilities to zero in on what we are intolerant to, so that we can eliminate them. Next we can decrease inflammation caused by these intolerances by receiving our Magnetic Resonance Therapy.

To summarize: 1. Decrease inflammation for disease prevention and to allow our bodies to do their job…be strong and healthy. 2. Know what our bodies need and replace deficiencies and 3.Know what our bodies are intolerant of and eliminate them.

This all sounds complicated but the more we learn and understand our own specific needs the more this review and self examination becomes a way of life. Understanding that we are all different and that the traditional health care approach of “same old, same old” and “one size fits all” is not a good fit anymore. As well we don’t want to wait to be sick. We want to promote health. To help us learn and understand our relationship with health there will be a series of workshops at Clinique PsySanté on Saint Jean’s Blvd. starting September 24th. The first workshop called “The Heart and Soul of Self Care” will give you tools to empower and educate yourself in order to live a healthier, happier life.

Going forward the whole series of workshops will be of great benefit to everyone. Call for information. (514) 620-3535. Stay tuned…….. Comments, ideas, suggestions are welcome.

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 impossibleto-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.Vintage barn-style wooden accents decorate the walls and ceilings, and comfortable table or booth seating awaits you. Calming Western-style chandelier lighting 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

The downtown location was opened in 1967 and the West-Island restaurant opened thirteen years later, in 1980. Bar-B Barn is famous for its ribs and chicken.

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.

Sun Youth Rewarded!

O

people aged 16 to 18, especially those that are visible minorities, have the opportunity to gain rewarding and meaningful professional work experiences in order to be better prepared for the realities of the job market.

So far, more than 150 employers have been part in this project, including Sun Youth. Indeed, the organization first joined the project in 2009 and since then allowed more than thirty high school and CEGEP students from different socio-cultural backgrounds to obtain a first work experience while encouraging their school

retention. Each summer, Sun Youth recruits students from this program and raises awareness about the reality of community work while allowing them to connect with people from different backgrounds. Moreover, many of these participants have subsequently joined the ranks of the organization where they now work in a rewarding environment.

One of these participants is Louiza Guira, a student at the Saint-Hyacinthe professional theatre school. “I first joined Sun Youth in the summer of 2014. I was very ex-

cited, as it was my first job ", she explains. Possessing talents that the organization is looking for, Louiza had several contracts later in the communications department. “Here, I feel valued. I am in a friendly environment where my work is recognized", she concludes.

Sun Youth is very proud to receive the prize for the best training and be able to contribute to the professional training of post-secondary students all year round to ensure a qualified succession.

friends and colleagues are all invited to join this sparkling party which will feature gourmet delights, fine teas, cocktails, a fashion show and more. Tickets are $75 per person or $600 for groups of 8 guests - and all proceeds go to the Starlight Children's Foundation. "All in all, it's a delightful event that will satisfy your sweet tooth and love for fashion while contributing to a good cause," says Leila Asselman.

For decades Starlight Foundation has been helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education,

entertainment units to hospitals for bedridden children and kids undergoing in-hospital treatments.

Each entertainment unit features a Sharp AQUOS flat-screen television, a DVD player, a Nintendo Wii™ gaming system and a wide variety of Wii games, an often welcome distraction from boredom and loneliness. The Starlight Great Escapes Program was created to provide families with a chance to get away from it all and spend recreational time together.

Great Escapes gives a family time to relax outside of a clinical setting, regroup, and return home with a renewed sense of strength and hope. For some families, this excursion is the last fun outing they will ever have with their loved one.

In collaboration with Toys"R"Us, this fall Starlight Foundation will

also be launching its 10th limited edition collectible bear, Sparkles. Designed each year by a Starlight child, the bear is not only a a great and affordable gift idea ($19.99) for young children, but also helps raise their awareness in a light and caring way. "This year we celebrate 5-year old Ella (see photo) who suffers from pulmonary hypertension and has undergone no less than 9 operations," Asselman says. "Who would have thought, with that big a smile?" :) For Starlight Foundation it's all about lighting up a child's face and making the whole family smile.

There is sure to be a smile on every face at Tea & Tiaras, joy in giving back, and fun celebrating food and fashion!

caused by the fact that joints are blocked, or that half of the pelvis continuously slides back and forth, irritating and inflaming the iliolumbar ligament.

Mild inflammation of the sacroiliac joints and surrounding regions are not uncommon, but severe forms of sacroiliitis tend to arise with age.

The most important causes of sacroiliitis include pregnancy (due to the pelvis is forced to extend at work), trauma or sudden impact injury to the spine or pelvis, and degenerative arthritis, or arthritis of the spine (which deteriorates the sacroiliac joints). But do not worry: you can treat sacroiliitis, provided that you visit your osteopath and keep an eye out for early symptoms of the disease.

The most notable symptoms of inflammation of the sacroiliac joints are: – Restricted hip motion (has difficulty turning in bed and roll) – back stiffness after

long periods of immobility (eg: after long car trips) or on awakening Afternoon – Difficulty squatting – Pain during intercourse – Sharp pain in the thighs when balancing the legs of the bed or out of the car.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit someone who understands the sacroiliac joint, as well as an osteopath.

Meanwhile, you can try to reduce pain as follows: – When sitting or lying down, place a pillow between your knees to take some pressure of the pelvis – Wrap a wet cloth around an ice pack and place it on the inflamed area by 10 minute intervals for an hour and a half.This can be done up to three times a day. – At night, Sleep on your side instead of the back.

common issue people ask me to help with is freezing in their tracks and being unable to perform in certain daily situations which may include work, academics or sports. The complaint is that “ for some reason if I have a deadline or need to speak in front of people, write an exam or play an important game, I can’t seem to relax and just do it and I don’t know why!” The reason they don’t know why is that it’s a subconscious issue emanating from within not something they can easily put their finger on.

Through hypnotherapy, I can retrain the subconscious mind to disregard the usual tension a person may feel in those situations and proceed with the task at hand in a calm and relaxed manner which of course means the person can then per-

form to their full potential without mental inhibition or physical discomfort.

Why botch that next assignment, exam or big game, why lose sleep over it in advance when you can find it no longer intimidating or frightening?

Flow through it as relaxed as you are at home on your own couch watching television and see your performance dramatically improve.

Everyone has the abil-

ity but sometimes the subconscious needs a reminder – hypnotherapy is that reminder.

as been suffering from pains in your lower back lately? Do you have trouble turning around, bending or rolling in your sleep? If this is the case, you may have an inflammation of the sacroiliac joints.

The first thing you want to know about this issue is what the sacroiliac joints really are. The sacroiliac joints are two L-shaped 'joints found in the lower back, one on each side of the spine. It is located between the wedge shaped bone at the bottom of the spine (known as the sacrum) and the ilium of the pelvis and is held in place by various muscles and ligaments. By moving the lower body, the sacroiliac joints twisted and stretched along the pelvic girdle, thus helping to facilitate the movement of the pelvis.

When any of these joints becomes inflamed, they can create a sore lower back, thighs, and sometimes the buttocks. This is either

The talents of McCraney, director/renaissance man Mike Payette, and McGill University Chorus conductor Floydd Ricketts come together so effectively to create such a masterful production. And the ensemble cast delivers powerful performances that complement each other so well, especially Steven Charles as Pharus, Paul Rainville as Mr. Pendleton (who offers healthy doses of comic relief and wisdom), and Vlad Alexis in a scene-stealing performance as choir member Junior Davis.

The troupe won the award for their production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Time Rice, and was staged this past summer for a run of 19 sold out performances. On hand to accept the award on behalf of the Cote St. Luc Dramatic Society were Cote St. Luc Mayor Mitchell Brownstein (who is also a producer of the show and helped to establish the society), director Anisa

Cameron and Cote St. Luc city councilor Mitch Kujavsky, as well as several members of the show’s cast and crew.

“The Mountaintop”, a co-production of the Black Theatre Workshop and Halifax’s Neptune Theatre, dominated the evening by winning four METAs, for Outstanding PACT Production, Outstanding Lead Performance – Actor and Actress (Tristan D. Lalla and Letitia Brookes, respectively), and Outstanding Set Design (Eo Sharp). The play takes place at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee and focusses on the last hours of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life before his assassination on April 4, 1968.

This year’s METAs were hosted by actor Jessie Strong and playwright Michaela Di Cesare, who captured a METAs award for Outstanding New Text for her play “Successions”, which was featured last spring at the Centaur Theatre.

There will also be a postshow Artist Talks session on November 17.
