This stage comedy by British playwright Willy Russell called Educating Rita, follows the relationship between a young working-class hairdresser and a middle-aged university lecturer, during the course of a semester. The main character is confused, switching between a pseudonym and her given name, and she struggles with this new social niche which is rife with the same dishonesty and superficiality that she has been desperately trying to escape from. Rita aka Susan hates her life, she hates her work, she hates her friends essentially she hates everything. Frank is a university professor who is an alcoholic. He teaches so he can afford to pay for his booze. Its a bit like Leaving Las Vegas but without the prostitution. Educating Rita will be held at the Segal Theatre from Tuesday, November 24 until December 13 More on Educating Rita here.
Health care benefits – A 29-year-old woman from Quebec in Canada claims to have lost her long-term health care benefits she was receiving for depression, after her insurance company discovered pictures of her on Facebook smiling and having fun.
Nathalie Blanchard alleges that Manulife Financial cut off her long-term benefit payments because she was “available to work, because of Facebook.” She was diagnosed with long-term depression, something her lawyer says keeps her from working. Blanchard was previously employed at IBM.
Pictures posted included Blanchard and others at her birthday party strip tease, as well as smiling on a beach, among various private photos taken while on vacation. She says Manulife told her this is proof that she no longer suffers from depression.
Manulife denies her claims saying they “would not deny or terminate a valid claim solely based on information published on websites such as Facebook,”, but did not deny using the social networking site for gathering background information on customers.
Its address has been synonymous with sin, swing and a little bada bing for nearly a century. And now, the Café Cléopâtre is fighting to keep the bad old ways alive.
The Montreal establishment, which offers Danseuses à Go Go on its signage and Céline Dion in drag on the second floor, is the last holdout in a redevelopment project to clean up Montreal’s mythical but badly bruised red light district.
The Café Cléopâtre is taking an Alamo-like stand on a stretch of St. Laurent Boulevard known as the Lower Main. One by one, its motley collection of neighbours – the hot-dog joints, nightclubs and old-fashioned groceries that formed the backbone of the street’s gritty and offbeat character – have sold out to a city-backed developer.
But the Café Cléopâtre is gyrating on, challenging a city expropriation order in court. The establishment, with its strippers, burlesque shows and Montreal Fetish Weekends, says it’s an urban “icon” that deserves to stay.
Organized crime in Canada has gone beyond the traditional trade in drugs and into the lucrative trafficking of humans, targeting foreign and local woman and youths, an RCMP director said at McGill’s law school yesterday.
“Just because a woman has access to her passport and documents doesn’t mean she has freedom of movement,” Michel Aubin said during a panel discussion on human trafficking – the recruitment of people for the purpose of exploitation.
Women are often forced into prostitution, sometimes hired as domestics or here as foreign workers.
Aubin said law enforcement agencies must not assume a sex worker is simply that – she may have been promised a job as waitress or dancer, but then forced to perform sex acts.
“We have to change the mindset,” he said. “If we think they’re just prostitutes, God, we have a problem.”
Ah, the Salon du livre de Montréal.
Where else, within the space of a few days, could you find the opportunity to chat with a retired politician (Jacques Parizeau), a mystery writer (Kathy Reichs, Chrystine Brouillet), a celeb-chasing non-fiction writer (Ian Halperin), a former New York prostitute (Natalie McLennan), the manager – and husband – of Quebec’s biggest singing star (René Angélil), Quebec’s most renowned playwright/novelist, Michel Tremblay, IMPAC award-winning novelist Rawi Hage, Booker-winning novelist Yann Martel, or a giant mouse named Geronimo Stilton?
The 32nd edition of the Salon du livre, the largest book market for French-language books on the continent, opened yesterday at Place Bonaventure. It continues through Monday.
While the Salon makes for heavenly author access for literary types who like to get their books autographed, it’s also a great outing for families with young children. Everyone will get plenty of exercise. The space is huge. This year there are 950 booths where francophone publishers will be selling their wares, testing the market for Christmas. And there are many activities for children, of which the bedtime storytelling sessions (dress code: pyjamas) tend to be the most popular.
Cournoyer’s alleged killer may face more charges
Sat, 2009-11-14 17:10.
Reports suggest that the man who stands accused of killing Natacha Cournoyer last month, could also face some new charges stemming from an incident with a prostitute that happened two weeks after the discovery of Cournoyer’s body.
48-year-old Claude Larouche is said to have been involved in an attack on an escort on the night of October 17th at her home in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, during which he apparently punched her several times in the face, and tried to strangle her.
Seems, too, that he snorted cocaine on the premises.
The reports add that the woman in question didn’t come forward until he was arrested for Cournoyer’s murder, not long after that night.
Cournoyer, you’ll recall, went missing on the night of Oct. 1 from a Laval parking lot, and was found dead a few days later in Riviere des Prairies.

Through interviews in the tough Saint-Louis barrios in San Salvador—home to 500 families—Mourani encountered gang members who wanted out. At some point, some realize that the gang has cut them off from their family and friends or they don’t want their children to grow up in a gang, she was told. They wish to leave but in many cases, it’s impossible. Members have an unshakable loyalty and sense of belonging to the gang—for many, the only family they know.
In these barrios, gang mentality is invasive. Mourani saw a lot of children, some as young as three or four years old with gang tattoos or harboring the colors of the gang. They absorb the culture of violence, witnessing drugs, prostitution and arms deals. Recruitment starts in the cradle, says the Montreal Member of Parliament. Kids are born into the Mara and rarely escape that reality. If the two parents are members of the MS13, a child can automatically become a member without going through tough initiation rites. If one of the parents is not a member, the child will have to prove himself by going through the rites.
Jackson marched over to a dumpster, grabbed a long-handled shovel, turned on his heels and stomped towards Fiacconi. General manager Danny Maciocia and trainer T.D. Forss intercepted the enraged defender on his way back to the field. âWhat exactly are you planning to do with that,â Maciocia said, motioning towards the spade. Thankfully, weâll never know.
PACMAN TURNS BLUE (ALMOST): The Winnipeg Blue Bombers obviously neglected to do a proper reference check on return specialist Adam (Pacman) Jones before agreeing to terms with the former NFL bad boy. Thankfully, the night before the deal was to be consummated, Pacman appeared in a webcam video broadcast in the lawless land of the Internet.
The strip club aficionado talked about how thrilled he was to play in the United Football League (oops). He flexed his muscles and rambled about his future domination with the Bombers. In a show of total commitment to the cause, Jones said he would only play for his new team until the phone inevitably rang with a lucrative offer from the NFL.
Nancy Begalki Gardiner supports the notion of recognition for people such as her father, the late Gus Begalki, who served as RCMP chief superintendent during much of the Cold War.
“He was extremely loyal to his country, but a lot of the work that people like my father did went largely overlooked because it was top secret,” she said. “During the Cold War, he would leave the house and not come back for three weeks. None of us knew where he had gone off to.”
She said her father was “sometimes frustrated” by the lack of federal recognition for his work on important cases such as that of Igor Gouzenko, the clerk for the Soviet embassy in Ottawa who defected in 1945 with documents on Soviet espionage activities, and Gerda Munsinger, an East German prostitute and alleged Soviet spy who became involved with Canadian Cabinet ministers.
The madam who supplied former Gov. Eliot Spitzer with high-priced call girls is protesting his lecture scheduled for today at Harvard University — on ethics.
“I am greatly intrigued as to what Mr. Spitzer could contribute to an ethical discussion when as Chief Executive Law Enforcement Officer of NY he broke numerous laws for which he has yet to be punished,” Kristin Davis wrote in a letter to Professor Lawrence Lessig at Harvard’s Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics, according to the New York Post.
…
Spitzer, 50, was forced to resign as governor in 2008 after it was revealed that he was the client of a prostitution ring under a federal investigation. Spitzer, who court papers labeled “Client No. 9″ — had paid to have sex with call-girl Ashley Dupree.
