  I guess I understand why you link to these vanity pieces articles but snore. La Chesterman’s high profile far exceeds what’s merited by her understanding of cuisines other than French and possibly Italian, her appreciation of casual dining (as compared to, say, Sarah Musgrave’s) and her klunky prose. She’s been the dominant anglo voice on the local food scene for far too long.

  Things are a bit slow on the local news front. Trump, Brexit, the environment, unresolved wars, pipeline skirmishes elsewhere in Canada, are all of more importance to most people… Denise Bombardier thinks white culture is in danger of disappearing (!) – not linking that, but it’s her Friday column (“Le déclin des Blancs”), but I’m not up to satirizing it because I’ve been sick with some bronchitic lurgi since the new year, and a little restaurant nonsense is about all I can face posting.

  It’ll improve soon.

  Hope you are feeling better Kate. Bombardier and Quebecor have now at least stated clearly what they are afraid of ……..2050 and of course all brown people…..except Norman Braithwaite.
  “Dans nombre de grandes villes américaines, les Blancs sont désormais en minorité. Selon des projections démographiques, les Blancs seront en 2050 une « majorité minorité » aux États-Unis, en Nouvelle-Zélande et au Canada. C’est le constat brutal que fait Eric Kaufmann dans son essai Whiteshift paru fin 2018 à Londres, et dont il s’explique dans un entretien passionnant publié cette semaine à Paris dans le magazine Le Point.” Constant brutal indeed!
