I haven’t received any comments asking for changes to the 2026 weblog calendar, but I went over it again anyway to tidy up some of the texts. This version is definitive.

Radio-Canada explores the changing face of homelessness with statistics, like that half of the homeless are under 25. The presence of recent immigrants or refugees and trans individuals is noted, and the sad stat that one out of three minors placed with the DPJ eventually ends up on the street.
Apropos, Sunday morning there are reports of a death in a fire under the porch of an abandoned building in Longueuil.

The dismissal of Marwah Rizqy from the PLQ caucus was a subject this week, as was the appointment of Marc Miller as federal culture minister, and his misstep about French. Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon’s anger at the artistic milieu‘s lack of pushback against Miller got Ygreck stirred up, and Chapleau drew PSPP in a mood.Crises in both the CAQ and the PLQ are inspirational, while both Ygreck and Côté pictured Santé Québec as an elephant.
Trump gets a look in with a surprise advent calendar.
Chloé has politicians getting a good laugh out of the seven generations principle while Godin shows Mark Carney fuelling the Canadian vehicle. Côté’s Drainville wants to aim for achievable climate goals.
Côté, who often does social observation without a political edge, shows us an aging couple on Black Friday and a man who got a little too accustomed to working from home. Ygreck also picked up the end of WFH.
And Godin drew a white rose for December 6.

The calendar looks great! Very interesting theme this year. You really get a sense for how much was built in the 1920s; the city must have felt so modern during that time! So much of what was built is not only still standing, but are also some of the best examples of different types of infrastructure (ie, the JC bridge).
