50 nuances de woke
**Ha. Ha. Ha.** Ça ne s’invente pas. Le Salon du livre de Montréal va présenter un «débat» sur le «wokisme» qui va mettre en présence un woke, une woke et un woke. Ça va percoler, ça va faire des flammèches! Du choc des idées naîtront les lumières! Achetez-vous du popcorn parce que ça va débattre, Mesdames, Messieurs et Mes personnes non binaires dont le sexe assigné à la naissance est féminin ou masculin. «Es-tu un ti-peu woke ou très très woke?» dira l’un. «Que c’est merveilleux d’être woke», répondra l’autre….

Apparence de collusion à La Malbaie , prétend le comité Vigie-Malbaie
**La réplique des citoyens à la Ville de La Malbaie au sujet du projet de Medway a été virulente. Dans un point de presse, le comité Vigie-Malbaie a soutenu que la conduite de ce dossier « s’apparente à de la collusion » et qu’il s’agit d’un « déni de démocratie ».** « Le comportement de la Ville de La Malbaie dans ce dossier est regrettable et répréhensible. En pactisant derrière des portes closes avec des intérêts privés et en manœuvrant afin de ‘’préparer le terrain’’ pour l’investisseur Medway, cela peut… Apparaît sur: lecharlevoisien.com,

Backlash et sororité
Je n’ai pas écrit sur l’élection de Donald Trump, parce qu’il n’y a pas de mots pour expliquer l’inconcevable. Les conséquences seront terribles, notamment pour les femmes. Le backlash n’a pas débuté avec son élection, il s’observe depuis un certain temps déjà. « Jamais je n’aurais cru vivre une époque où on élirait un violeur à la tête des États-Unis. Jamais je n’aurais cru vivre autant de backlash. Il est difficile pour les femmes de continuer d’être joyeuses », déclarait l’autrice Élise Turcotte récemment.

Caricaturer
Je publiais jeudi dernier une lettre empreinte de nostalgie adressée à Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. Quelques jours plus tard, une partie de la classe politique tentait de faire porter la responsabilité de la « casse » et de la « violence » à Montréal sur la plus importante mobilisation sociale de la dernière année, soit la cause palestinienne. Aurais-je réveillé un mauvais génie ? Soyons clairs : quand je regrettais notre jeunesse envolée, ce n’était pas de ça que je m’ennuyais.

Ce que personne n’ose dire sur la manifestation de vendredi à Montréal
**Les Québécois, vendredi soir, furent très légitimement révoltés par** **la manifestation qui a frappé le centre-ville de Montréal** **.** Tout de suite, les politiciens et le commentariat ont cherché à encadrer l’interprétation des événements, en dénonçant la violence, sans la caractériser, sans dire qui commettait ces actes violents. C’était une dénonciation vague, abstraite. Il est pourtant temps de parler honnêtement, et de dire ce que peu osent dire. ##### **Antisémitisme** Nous étions vendredi soir devant une violence politique d’extrême gauche, caractéristique des antifas. Cette violence est banalisée, tolérée. On l’excuse… Apparaît sur: journaldequebec.com, journaldemontreal.com,

Dans Islamabad barricadée, affrontements entre police et partisans d’Imran Khan
Des heurts opposent mardi à Islamabad les forces de sécurité à des milliers de partisans de l’ex-premier ministre Imran Khan, entrés tôt dans la capitale pour réclamer la libération de leur champion, malgré un déploiement sécuritaire inédit. Sur la voie rapide à l’entrée ouest d’Islamabad, les cortèges de manifestants galvanisés par Bushra Bibi, l’épouse tout juste sortie de prison de l’ancienne star du cricket, qui appelait à avancer dans des haut-parleurs, sont entrés dans la capitale.

De manifs et d’amnésie
Les politiciens qui ont dénoncé la casse survenue lors de la récente manifestation contre l’Organisation du traité de l’Atlantique Nord (OTAN), à Montréal, ont la mémoire courte. Le Printemps érable de 2012 et les manifestations annuelles contre la brutalité policière nous avaient habitués à l’infiltration de casseurs avertis dont le programme politique et les idées se résument aux coups de marteau donnés dans les vitrines du capitalisme.

Des dizaines de milliers de manifestants à Barcelone contre la hausse des loyers
Des dizaines de milliers d’Espagnols ont manifesté samedi dans le centre-ville de Barcelone pour protester contre la hausse vertigineuse des prix du loyer dans cette destination touristique populaire. Les manifestants ont bloqué la circulation sur les principales avenues du centre-ville, brandissant des pancartes artisanales en espagnol sur lesquelles on pouvait lire «Moins d’appartements pour investir et plus de logements pour vivre» ou encore «Les sans-abri défendent leurs droits».

M. Khan, qui est emprisonné depuis plus d’un an et fait l’objet de plus de 150 affaires criminelles, reste populaire.
