Je sais, j’ai été assez silencieux dans les derniers mois. Je crois que j’avais besoin de prendre un peu de recul, mais c’est aussi la lassitude du débat public qui explique ce repli. Je sais que c’est loin d’être la première fois que je me plains de la pauvreté de l’argumentaire et de la confusion ambiante, mais disons que la période a encore clairement baissé d’un niveau. Cet état d’esprit s’explique peut-être en bonne partie par les effets néfastes de l’isolement sur le moral des gens? Pourtant, le climat de… Apparaît sur: lequebecois.org, |

| L’ex-patron d’un tabloïd relate sa chasse aux scandales pour aider la campagne de Trump
Après une brève audience tendue sur l’ordonnance imposant le silence à Donald Trump, les procureurs à son procès criminel ont repris mardi l’interrogatoire de leur premier témoin, qu’ils placent au cœur d’un stratagème visant à « corrompre l’élection de 2016 ». Si la première et brève portion du témoignage de l’ex-PDG du groupe de presse American Media Inc. (AMI) David Pecker, lundi, n’a servi qu’à mettre en lumière les pratiques de son groupe médiatique, cette deuxième partie a permis aux procureurs d’entrer dans le vif du sujet.

Le principal parti d’opposition de Corée du Sud a remporté les élections législatives, selon des résultats presque complets, a rapporté jeudi l’agence Yonhap, un coup dur pour le président conservateur Yoon Suk Yeol. Le Parti démocrate (centre gauche) de Lee Jae-myung a obtenu 161 sièges, 176 en comptant ceux attribués à la proportionnelle, sur les 300 que compte l’Assemblée nationale.

Un calme tendu prévaut sur les campus universitaires montréalais, contrastant avec la vive colère qui secoue les prestigieuses universités de l’autre côté de la frontière. Cette colère s’est surtout intensifiée cette semaine après l’arrestation de centaines d’étudiants de plusieurs universités, dont Columbia, Yale et New York (NYU), à la demande des dirigeants de ces établissements.
