Did you celebrate the championship won in 1927 by the softball team of soft drink producer J. Christin & Compagnie Limitée of Montréal, Québec, my reading friend? Did you celebrate too much? The history of that firm is so fascinating that it will get you back on your feet in two shakes of a lamb’s tail or, as we say in French, en deux coups de cuillère à pot. Let us get started. Would you like to see an advertisement of our firm from that era? […] Wunderbar! Why not three? There were so many

Welcome you to our virtual meeting place, my reading friend. Right off the bat, yours truly must admit that I am not a fan of the type of product at the heart of the peroration about which I am going to type to you this week. While it is true that I consumed soft drinks in my distant youth, at a time when dinosaurs were still pounding the ground of our big blue marble, it is equally true that I have not absorbed that type of junk food for a great many years. However, I must admit to having a

Hello, my assiduous reading friend. As promised, here is the 3rd and final part of this article, a part during which yours truly will conclude the fascinating story of the Bollée Voiturette designed by the French automobile pioneer Léon Auguste Antoine Bollée. The first competition in which said Voiturette, a quartet of Voiturettes in fact, seemed to participate was the Course de voitures automobiles Paris-Marseille-Paris which was held in France, obviously, in September and October 1896.

Hello again, my reading friend and welcome to this 2nd part of our article on a dynamic duo of dentists from Québec, Québec, during the Belle Époque, a 2nd part in which the names of Henri Edmond Casgrain and Marie Wilhelmine Emma Casgrain, born Gaudreau, will be mentioned very rarely. After all, yours truly had mentioned to you my intention to satisfy your desire to know more about the Bollée Voiturette.

Guten Morgen, mein Lesefreund. Wie geht’s? Would you like to join me on a quick jaunt down the yellow brick road of memory lane to a beer garden near you? […] Wunderbar! We will have to postpone that for another day, however. It was in fact towards a Québec counterpart of a Parisian bistro from the Belle Époque that we will have a bite today. Besides, a beer garden in February, are you nuts? However, it was not every day that an engraving showing a Québec couple from said Belle Époque, a period

Canadians either adore Red River hot breakfast cereal or have never heard of it: The crunchy saga of a quintessentially Canadian food item

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's…

Do you often prepare yourself a bowl of hot cereal for breakfast, my eating, err, my reading friend? Yours truly must admit I never developed a taste for that food item. Even so, I shall entertain you today, I hope, with the tale of an iconic, or so I am told, Canadian hot breakfast cereal. The saga of Red River Cereal began in April 1887, in the village of Teeswater, Ontario, with the birth of Gertrude Edna “Gert / Gertie” Skilling. The early years of that bright child were quite typical. After
