Atlanta, Saguenay, Quebec… Several Madonna fans drove hours to admire their idol at the Bell Center on Thursday evening as part of her tour Celebration which highlights his 40-year career.
“He’s my childhood idol,” said Audrey Bouchard, 50, who came alone from Saguenay with her $550 bill in her pocket. “I grew up with her,” she added. Madonna is part of my discovery of… everything.”

“This is perhaps her last show,” said Isabelle Boudreau, 54, accompanied by her friend Hélène Deblois, 50. “We absolutely wanted to experience this moment!” explained the fans who traveled from Quebec.

John Lyons, 51, who flew from Atlanta to the US to attend the tour Celebration for the fifth time, was also delighted to be there. “I’ve been a fan since I was 13!” The man also plans to return to Atlanta.
“It’s stimulating to see artists like Rod Stewart, Sting, Madonna… Legends!” underlined Marie-Josée Primeau, who also had the chance to see Madonna perform in Abu Dhabi in 2012.

Sequins and costumes
Here and there, we might see sequins and fishnet tights in the modest crowd softened by the freezing cold.

Some fans still went so far as to wear outfits inspired by their idol, to get in the mood for this tour celebrating Madonna’s 40-year career.
“It’s part of the experience,” said Julie Bessette, 40 years old. As long as we’re doing it, we’re doing it 100%. I have a gang of girl friends waiting for me, everyone is dressed up.”

Chantal Moreau, 52, also dressed for the occasion, is far from her first costume inspired by Madonna. “I had a Madonna tribute band. It was me who sang. I had the wigs, the costumes…”
Madonna time
Will Madonna be late on stage at the Bell Center, as she has become accustomed to? Most fans didn’t seem to mind that much.
“We’ll wait for him!” proclaimed Isabelle Boudreau without hesitation. “If you really know her, you know this is likely to happen!” John Lyons pointed out.

And if anyone can afford this little eccentricity, it’s Madonna. “She who is such a perfectionist in everything. […] We forgive him!” said Chantal Moreau.

Quebec’s Potential to Lead Global Energy Transition: Interview with President of BMO Financial Group, Grégoire Baillargeon

The president of BMO Financial Group, Grégoire Baillargeon, is full of hope for Quebec and believes that companies here have the chance to become world leaders in energy transition.
“We must not miss our chances, the transformation is happening now, not in 20 years,” he says.
He also used the popular expression of the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, mentioning that it is time to “bring our game, into the game” to try to illustrate the Quebec’s opportunity to make its place internationally.
“The game is the international game. There is a global transformation underway. Things are moving forward. Some say that things are moving too slowly, but they are moving forward and it will accelerate (…) Quebec is incredibly lucky because our electricity is already green,” he explains.
However, this advantage will not last long since all countries are changing the way they produce energy.
In addition, Quebec has other advantages such as already know-how in this area and a strategic geographical position.
“We have an opportunity to propel ourselves into the world of tomorrow. Quebec not only has green energy, but we are connected to both oceans, we have the railway, the St. Lawrence River, etc. (…) I think we can be the best. We leave with incredible advantages,” he explains.
However, massive investments by governments to attract large companies to come and set up operations should not harm local businesses.
On the other hand, they believe that there are opportunities for everyone to become exemplary companies.
