Michel Tremblay, CQ (born in Montreal, Quebec 25 June 1942) is a Canadian novelist and playwright.

Tremblay grew up in the Plateau Mont-Royal, a French-speaking neighbourhood of Montreal, at the time of his birth a neighbourhood with a working-class character and joual dialect, something that would heavily influence his work. Tremblay's first professionally produced play, Les Belles-Sœurs, was written in 1965 and premiered at the Théâtre du Rideau Vert on August 28, 1968. Its impact was huge, bringing down the old guard of Canadian theatre and introducing joual to the mainstream. It stirred up controversy by portraying the lives of working class women and attacking the straight-laced, deeply religious society of mid-20th century Quebec.

His work and its impact[link]

The most profound and lasting effects of Tremblay's early plays, including Hosanna and La Duchesse de Langeais, were the barriers they toppled in Quebec society. Until the Quiet Revolution of the early 1960s, Tremblay saw Quebec as a poor, working-class province dominated by an English-speaking elite and the Roman Catholic Church. Tremblay's work was part of a vanguard of liberal, nationalist thought that helped create an essentially modern society.

His most famous plays are usually centered on homosexual characters. The women are usually strong but possessed with demons they must vanquish. It is said he sees Quebec as a matriarchal society. He is considered one of the best playwrights for women.

In the late 1980s, Les Belles-soeurs ("The Sisters-in-Law") was produced in Scotland in Scots, as The Guid-Sisters ("guid-sister" being Scots for "sister-in-law"). His work has been translated into many languages, including Yiddish, and including such works as Sainte-Carmen de la Main, Ç'ta ton tour, Laura Cadieux, and Forever Yours, Marilou (À toi pour toujours, ta Marie-Lou).

He has been openly gay throughout his public life, and he has written many novels (The Duchess and the Commoner, La nuit des princes charmants, Le Coeur découvert, Le Coeur éclaté) and plays (Hosanna, La duchesse de Langeais, Fragments de mensonges inutiles) centred on gay characters.^[1] In a 1987 interview with Shelagh Rogers for CBC Radio's The Arts Tonight, he remarked that he has always avoided behaviours he has considered masculine; for example, he does not smoke and he noted that he was 45 years old and did not know how to drive a car. "I think I am a rare breed," he said, "A homosexual who doesn't like men." He claims one of his biggest regrets in life was not telling his mother that he was gay, before she died.

His latest play to receive wide acclaim is For The Pleasure Of Seeing Her Again, a funny and nostalgic play, centered on the memories of his mother.

He later published the Plateau Mont-Royal Chronicles, a cycle of six novels including The Fat Woman Next Door is Pregnant (La grosse femme d'à côté est enceinte, 1978) and The Duchess and the Commoner (La duchesse et le roturier, 1982).

The second novel of this series, Therese and Pierrette and the Little Hanging Angel (Thérèse et Pierrette à l'école des Saints-Anges, 1980), was one of the novels chosen for inclusion in the French version of Canada Reads, Le combat des livres, broadcast on Radio-Canada in 2005, where it was championed by union activist Monique Simard.

Tremblay worked also on a television series entitled Le Cœur découvert (The Heart Laid Bare), about the lives of a gay couple in Quebec, for the French-language TV network Radio-Canada.

In 2005 he completed another novel cycle, the Cahiers (Le Cahier noir (translated as The Black Notebook), Le Cahier rouge, Le Cahier bleu), dealing with the changes that occurred in 1960s Montreal during the Quiet Revolution.

In 2009 The Fat Woman Next Door was a finalist in CBC's prestigious Canada Reads competition.

Political views[link]

For many years, Tremblay has believed that the only reasonable solution for Quebec is to separate from Canada. Once the Parti Québécois was elected in Quebec, he softened his views on allowing his plays to be produced in English there. He made it clear, however, that that did not mean that he agreed with bilingualism, calling it "stupid" and stating that he thought it ridiculous to expect a housewife in Vancouver to be fluent in both English and French.^[2]

Despite his often outspoken views in public, Tremblay's treatment of politics in his plays is subtle. Speaking of politics and the theatre in an CBC interview in 1978, Tremblay said:

"I know what I want in the theatre. I want a real political theatre, but I know that political theatre is dull. I write fables."^[2]

In April 2006 he declared that he did not support the arguments put forward for the separation of Quebec. But he clarified his thoughts some time later by saying he was still a supporter of Quebec sovereignty, though critical of the actual state of the debate, which in his opinion was too much focused on economic issues. In response to this, the columnist Marc Cassivi of La Presse wrote that "there was only one closet a Quebec artist could never exit and that was the federalist one."^[3]

Awards and honours[link]

Tremblay has received numerous awards in recognition of his work. These include the Prix Victor-Morin (1974), the Prix France-Québec (1984), the Chalmers Award (1986) and the Molson Prize (1994).

He received the Lieutenant-Governor's award for Ontario in 1976 and 1977. Tremblay was named the "Montréalais le plus remarquable des deux dernières décennies dans le domaine du théâtre" (the most remarkable Montrealer of the past two decades in theatre) (1978). In 1991 he was appointed Officier de l'Ordre de France, and in the same year, Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Québec. He is also a recipient of the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France (1994).

In 1999, he received a Governor General's Award for the Performing Arts. This produced controversy when several well-known Quebec nationalists suggested that he should refuse the award. While he did not do this, he did admit, for the first time, that he had refused the Order of Canada in 1990.

In 2000, Encore une fois, si vous le permettez (For The Pleasure of Seeing Her Again) won a Chalmers Award and a Dora Mavor Moore Award.^[4]

Jean Tremblay is a politician from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (Quebec, Canada). Notary by profession and a businessman, he became mayor of Chicoutimi in 1997.^[1] After the municipal reorganization in Quebec, he became the first magistrate of the city of Saguenay on 1 January 2002.^[2] Its mandate is renewed in the elections of November 2005^[3] with 72% of the vote and again in November 2009^[4] with 78% of support.

Biography[link]

Jean Tremblay obtained a law degree from Université Laval in 1974. He received his diploma in notary law from the same university in and became a member of the Chamber of Notaries of Quebec in 1975.

He became a practicing notary in Chicoutimi in 1975. In 1979, he became partner in a St-Hubert restaurant in Chicoutimi. He was also the majority shareholder in a real estate company from 1979 to 1997. He taught in the Department of Administrative Sciences University of Quebec at Chicoutimi during the 1980-1981 school year.

He was mayor of the city of Chicoutimi from 1997 to 2001. Following the municipal reorganization in Quebec, he was elected mayor of the new city of Saguenay November 25, 2001.

In 2002, he founded Promotion Saguenay. The same year he became a member of the Union of Quebec Municipalities (UMQ). He has sat on the executive committee from 2004.

In 2002, he held a referendum on the name of the new city. On April 12, 13 and 14, citizens chose between two proposed names, Chicoutimi and Saguenay. Saguenay received 35,810 votes (52.23%) to Chicoutimi's, 32,399 votes (47.26%) and became the name of the new city.^[5]

In 2004, he created a city ombudsman. In 2005, he launched a case against multinationals to recover payment of taxes on private hydroelectric dams on the territory of the city. In 2006, he reaffirmed his support for reciting a prayer before City Council meetings.^[6]

In 2007, he began promoting a port of call for cruise ships in the borough of La Baie.^[7]

In April 2009, the polling firm Influence Communication, hired by Le Journal de Quebec, published a study on the media weight of 11 mayors in Quebec. On this list, Jean Tremblay ranked third after Régis Labeaume, Mayor of Quebec, and Gérald Tremblay, Mayor of Montreal. Among the 11 mayors included in the survey, he received 7.5% of the local, national and international media coverage. 32% of this coverage concerned the regional and 26% concerned the prayer controversy.

In November 2009, Mayor Tremblay and the City of Saguenay were fined over half a million dollars by the superior court of Quebec, to be paid to the former general manager of the city, Bertrand Girard. It his verdict, Judge Yves Alain harshly criticized Mayor Tremblay and said his testimony was rife with hesitations and contradictions, even going as far as describing certain parts as "pure science fiction". Judge Alain said none of the motives given by the mayor in his decision to fire Girard were valid and said that in his opinion they were simply false pretenses to hide the mayor's animosity towards the former city employee.^[8]

Mayor Jean Tremblay has been an ardent supporter of the merger of seven municipalities (Chicoutimi, Jonquière, La Baie, Laterriere, a portion of the territory of Canton-Tremblay, Lac Kenogami and Shipshaw) into the new city of Saguenay. It was to this effect that he issued a document entitled Le courage de changer les choses to explain the benefits of creating the new city of Saguenay and gain support for this measure.

He was the first mayor of a major Quebec city to implement a new form of municipal management called « Gestion par activités » (City Stat Performance Strategy).^[9] The implementation of this new model has enabled Saguenay to make substantial cost savings and improve the efficiency of municipal services. He has presented this strategy on many occasions to other municipalities.^[10]

Prayer of the City Council[link]

In September 2006, Christian Joncas and Alain Simoneau, two activists from the Coalition of Citizens of Saguenay, file a complaint to the Commission on Human Rights and Youth Rights (CDPDJ) against Mayor Jean Tremblay, for reciting a short prayer at the beginning of each meeting of City Council. Adapted from a tradition of the ancient city of Chicoutimi, municipal prayer reads: "Almighty God, we thank you for the great blessings which You have given to Saguenay and its citizens, including freedom, opportunities for development and peace. Guide us in our deliberations as a member of City Council and help us to well aware of our duties and responsibilities. Grant us wisdom, knowledge and understanding that will preserve the benefits enjoyed by our city for all to enjoy and we can make wise decisions. Amen " - Please municipal Saguenay, Prayer to the board: the floor to Simoneau^[11] Despite the complaint, the City Council decides to maintain the recitation of the prayer.^[12] In October of that year and following an investigation by the Commission on Human Rights, a mediation session^[13] is held between the parties to find a satisfactory arrangement. As a result of this mediation, Christian Joncas withdraws the complaint. On September 20, 2007, Jean Tremblay has the name of Ville Saguenay, a paper entitled Memory of reasonable accommodation^[14] to the Bouchard-Taylor Commission during the passage of the latter in Saguenay. It defends the place of the Catholic religion in public in Quebec. The submission raises various reactions.^[15] On May 15, 2008, the CDPDJ says that the recitation of a prayer at City Council Saguenay violates freedom of conscience and religion [35]. Refusing to comply with the decision of the commission, the mayor, city council supported, maintains practice. In August 2008, still supported by the MLQ, Simoneau said he continues Ville Saguenay and John Smith, claiming $ 100,000 in damages and fees for extrajudicial rights abuses and violation of freedom of religion and conscience [ 36]. Simoneau asked to stop reciting the prayer municipal and require the removal of a statue of the Sacred Heart located in a corner room overlooking the deliberations of the Chicoutimi district, and a crucifix mounted on a wall in the boardroom of the district of the Bay [36]. On November 27, 2008, a notice of continuation of Jean Tremblay and Ville Saguenay is sent to the Attorney General of Quebec.^[16] In February 2011, the Court of Human Rights ordered the Quebec Jean Tremblay and city of Saguenay to stop reciting the prayer to the city council to remove the religious symbols of the boardroom and to pay 30 000 CAD as punitive damages and moral Alain Simoneau.^[17] The mayor expressed his intention to appeal, the municipal use^[18] to launch a fundraising campaign, collects about 60 000 CAD and claims to be ready to go to the Supreme Court if necessary.^[19] The file is a national issue and the mayor is a strong media coverage. He gives interviews in English Canada, the United States and Europe with various news organizations including CBC News, Agence France-Presse, The Cross and Sun Media.^[20] In late March, the appellate court authorizes the Mayor and City Saguenay to appeal the decision.^[21] "[...] This battle, I do it because I love Christ. When I reach the other side, I can be a little proud. I will say, "I fought for you, I even went on trial for you. »» - Jean Tremblay, The Voice of the East^[22] On July 12, 2011, The Canadian Press says the mayor's fundraising campaign has raised $ 181,000, compared to the fundraiser launched by the MLQ which has received $ 25,000.^[23]

He was host of a television series shown on Channel Community Saguenay Canal Vox.^[24] He was invited on the occasion of the national networks like LCN to discuss various topics. In April 2009, the firm Influence Communication, initiated by Le Journal de Quebec, published a study on media weight of 11 mayors of Quebec. On this list, Jean Tremblay ranks third after Régis Labeaume, Mayor of Quebec, and Gérald Tremblay, Mayor of Montreal. Of the 11 mayors surveyed, the first magistrate of Saguenay gets a percentage of media coverage locally, nationally and internationally valued at 7.5%.^[25]

In October 2010, the regional Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean of the Federation of Professional Journalists of Québec publishes a black file^[26] on the municipal information in Saguenay where eight journalists from different media reports of intimidation, customization records, and accused the city administration and Jean Tremblay to threaten the freedom of the press.^[27] The next day, the mayor says he does not apologize or take seriously the accusations of journalists.^[28] "The black file, it does not bother me too much. I think it's ridiculous. They would do it on any mayor, anyone. [...] My job is not to satisfy the journalists is to satisfy the citizens.

Micheline Lanctôt (born May 12, 1947 at Frelighsburg, Quebec, Canada) is an actress, film director, screenwriter, and musician.

Biography[link]

Lanctôt's post-secondary education was in music, fine arts and theatre at Collège Jésus-Marie in Outremont, and in art history (at the Université de Montréal and the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal) before switching to film animation, which she did originally at the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and then at Gerald Potterton's studios, Potterton Productions, where she remained for four years.

Lanctôt began her acting career in 1972, winning an Etrog (now called a Genie) award for best female performance for her starring role in Gilles Carle's La Vrai Nature de Bernadette. Since then, she has appeared in a wide variety of film and television roles, such as Les Corps Célestes (again by Carle); Ted Kotcheff's award-winning The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, Blood Relatives (by Claude Chabrol) and Guy Fournier's Radio-Canada TV series, Jamais deux sans toi.

She has directed for the theatre also, directing Oleanna by David Mamet for the Théâtre de Quat'Sous in Montreal in 1994, and in 1999, Bousille et les justes by Gratien Gélinas for the Théâtre du Rideau Vert.

She began her live-action film-directing career with L'Homme à tout faire (1980), nominated for best direction and for best film at the Canadian Film Awards in 1981. This success was followed by Sonatine (1983), which launched the career of Pascale Bussières and won both the Genie for best direction at the Canadian Film Awards and the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

Lanctôt defended Gaétan Soucy's novel La petite fille qui aimait trop les allumettes in the French version of Canada Reads, broadcast on Radio-Canada in 2004.
