In the hospital with my mom (again). Hear a nurse speaking to a patient in perfect French, then she turns to the nurse next to her & says, in perfect English, “Can you hand me that tube? Not the blue one, the green one.” Perfectly bilingual. This, to me, is the future of Quebec.

The Quebec government's protection of the French language is understandable & I'd even say crucial. But this undercurrent of anti-English sentiment is now fully present in the mainstream media. Bilingualism here is equally essential. Quebec cannot function in a unilingual bubble.

Petite nouvelle du jour: je viens de signer avec @Cardinal_Livres pour écrire un deuxième livre de recettes, Chez Lesley 2! Hâte de retrouver cette fabuleuse équipe pour créer un 2ème livre (prévu pour automne 2022). Merci à tout le monde qui a acheté le premier!

Also, who even calls it the Aéroport Pierre Elliot Trudeau? It's still DORVAL to most of us.

Ok that line when @JustinTrudeau said to @TerryDiMonte that he didn’t think his mom had Mick Jagger’s phone number anymore was hilarious. 😁

Just a word to the separatists insulting me because I said I don’t like Mathieu Bock-Côté: a) bring it in because I don’t care and b) how could ANY anglophone Quebecer admire the guy after what he has written about anglophones and bilingualism in Quebec? Forget it.

Conversation at dinner tonight with my 17-yr-old Me: When I was young there was a Cinema at Alexis Nihon Plaza. Him: No, you’re confused, that’s across the street. Me: No, that was the Forum. Him: Yeah, that’s what it’s called, the Forum. It’s a movie place. Me: 🤦‍♀️

Laissez les étudiants choisir leur langue d’enseignement au CEGEP. Ces propos sont ridicules pour des étudiants majeurs. À 18 ans, c’est à EUX DE CHOISIR, pas l’état.

Love is when your son comes home at 10:30pm on his last day of work before school starts, holding a 16' pizza he invented that the restaurant put on the menu, & he asks if you'd like a piece, & though you were about to go to bed you say, "Of course!" And then you have another.❤️

So nice to be in France this week. Just yesterday I was speaking French and English to my sister in a store and the sales lady said it was great to hear us going back and forth in both languages. And you know what? SHE’S RIGHT!

We spoke with all the Montreal mayoral candidates on The Corner Booth podcast (all available on Spotify & Apple podcasts) and the most positive and dynamic -by far- was @Val_Plante . And also, no trash-talking her opponents. I hope she wins tonight. 🤞

Separatist boyfriend this morning: “Dès que la loi 96 passe, on parle français à la maison.” Me: “Ok, that’s nice. Can you toast me a bagel while you’re up?” Him: “OK” #lifegoeson
