Chapleau Spirits Uplifted By Local Talent By Mario G. Lafrenière n these unprecedented times, in a world of semi-isolation, Chapleau spirits are being uplifted by local talent. Chapleauites have been displaying their talents on a Facebook group called “Chapleau artisans in support of 2020 Pandemic”. The original idea came from Dr. Doris Mitchell and Janique Labelle made it reality. The scope of local talent is truly amazing. From artists displaying their work of art to musicians entertaining the community on a daily basis including a special appearance by the “Swedish Chef” and the antics of “Farmer Phyl. All of it is astounding and truly appreciated by the community. In this new world of social distancing, this pandemic seems to have unleashed the importance of socializing. It’s great to see people participate with their songs and art and may it continue. When watching performances, it’s difficult not to reminisce about the Saturday night kitchen parties with fiddles, guitars and harmonicas or the plays and entertainment at the old town hall. It’s great to see people come out of their shells to display their hidden talents. It’s nice to get to know you! Ideas are brewing lately to organize a concert/get together, Long Term when this pandemic is Forecast over, with all the local Thursday talent displayed on this High 22 Facebook group in the Low 6 last 10 weeks. It’s a great Friday idea and kudos to all who High 25 participated in lifting our Low 9 spirits. Saturday

Chapleau Moments

First St. John's Church built at corner of Young and Lorne Streets beside rectory in 1886 while second located across the street in Chapleau
by
Michael J. Morris Back in the early days of Chapleau, the Rt. Rev. Jervois Newnham, of the Diocese of Moosonee realized that the community was located on the watershed of Hudson and James Bay and really belonged to the Diocese of Moosonee not Algoma. Accordingly St. John's Church established in 1885 was transferred to Moosonee which gave it a location on a railway --- the CPR. Missionary work was carried out by minister traveling by foot, canoe and dog team. For example. Bishop Newnham and his wife traveled to Chapleau from Moose Fort with their twin children by canoe. The journey took three weeks and their First Nation guides portaged the young children across portages in a clothes basket, apparently very comfortably and certainly a deluxe form of travel as far as bush travel went. A Pow-wow would be held in Chapleau when the Bishop brought the bands together to have their affairs discussed with the help of their mentor and spiritual guide. This occurred by 1893. Also by 1893 the church located on what later became the tennis courts was expanded with a more suitable vestry and chancel. More seats as well as a prayer desk and altar were included.
St John's
After the new St, John's opened the first church was dismantled and shipped on two flat cars to Cochrane where it was put back together and used as church. It was destroyed in a fire. After the arrival of Rev. Robert Warrington as Rector in 1896, the Rectory, which is still there, was completed.. In later years before the "new" St. John's was completed in 1907-08, people remarked that it was huge compared to the small church. In fact, James Q. Stanley who arrived in Chapleau in 1903, to work for the CPR at age at age 18, wrote in a letter to the church on the occasion of its 75th anniversary in 1960 First St John's with Rev Robert Warrington was his first impression. It was the comparison in size between the "BIG" rectory and very small church. Miss Sophie Herner was the organist. Mr. Warrington arrived as a Deacon and was ordained Priest by Bishop Newnham In St. John's. All this leads me to an email I received recently f r o m I a n Warrington, the
grandson of Rev. Robert Warrington. He wrote in part that he was googling 'Chapleau' and 'Warrington' when I stumbled across your site. I have been working on and off on my family tree and was delighted to find a wonderful image of my grandfather standing beside St John's church." He provided further information about his grandfather: "Robert was born in County Longford (Ireland) in 1870 and attended university in Montreal. He spent 2 years in Chapleau (1896-98) - some time was spent in Moosonee before moving to Portage du Fort (1898-1900). He had a brief spell in Sheffield, England, before returning to Ireland in 1902 for the remainder of his ministry. Two of his 6 children were born in Canada." "It was while based in Chapleau that Robert married Emily Browne (in Montreal) and was presented with a much cherished Henry and Scott Bible by the parish in 1897. The front page is inscribed thus: "Presented to the Rev R and Mrs Warrington on the occasion of their Wedding & in token of the esteem in which they are held by the Congregation of St John's Church, Chapleau, 19th August 1897" My thanks to Mr. Warrington for contacting me. Over the years I have been writing Chapleau Moments, it always delights me when someone like Mr. Warrington contacts me with an interest in Chapleau. My email is mj.morris@live.ca

Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility must be well defined REPORT goals. The government also says term investment in Canada. That’s not as safe as from OTTAWA sustainability the loans are not to be used for share buybacks, equity. Despite these concerns, it's good that the dividends or excessive executive pay. To give a Rapport sense of how big these employers are, the LEEFF government has recognized the importance of d’Ottawa will help companies with $300-million or more having conditions, but this announcement is too by/par
Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
There’s no doubt there is an itch to get back to normal, but there are obstacles to that and, of course, questions about how much can and should be restored as we learn to work within the pandemic. The first order of our recovery will relate to the opening of workplaces which is not always as simple as unlocking the doors, especially for bigger employers. The government has been working with employers to preserve jobs, so we will be ready when emergency measures are relaxed. Programs like the wage subsidy and loan programs for small and medium sized businesses are a start, but there were questions about how the government will help larger employers and corporations. That changed recently with the introduction of the Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility (LEEFF). The LEEFF will offer bridge financing to large employers in the form of loans that are tied to conditions such as climate plans and
in annual revenues that are seeking financing of at least $60-million. All sectors, except for finance and banking, are eligible to apply. New Democrats are asking the government to clarify the rules for the program to avoid the worst consequences such as funds used for bonuses and executive pay when stimulus funding was offered during the financial meltdown in 2008. We are demanding that strings be attached to ensure financial supports help workers, not executives. Also, it would be an insult to all Canadians who play by the rules if any federal funds were extended to corporations that use tax havens to avoid paying taxes. There is no doubt the entire economy, across all sectors, is being hit hard by COVID19, but these challenges are not an excuse for the government to repeat the mistakes of the past. When the government says “limits” on bonuses and share buybacks, that’s not the same as saying they will stop them. This is a critical detail that Canadians deserve clear answers on. Unlike when the government buys equity in a company, loans like these can get written off and we have no control to protect Canadian jobs or ensure a long-
vague and leaves too many doors open to abuse that would leave workers behind. Other countries have gone further and are much clearer about how their programs will work and who will be eligible. Germany has completely prohibited dividends and share buybacks while requiring senior executives to reduce their salaries and bonuses before getting aid. One thing we feel should be highlighted is the notion that companies using tax-shelters to avoid paying Canadian taxes, shouldn't get help paid for by Canadians through their own taxes. By only targeting those "convicted of tax evasion," the government is setting the bar too low and still letting public money go to companies that use offshore tax havens and funnel resources to tax-sheltered jurisdictions. Finally, before handing out any money, the government must make sure that companies will maintain their jobs and investments in Canada. To that end, they should be required have a plan to keep workers safe with health and safety protections. This is an important piece of the pandemic puzzle.
Le Crédit d'urgence pour les grands employeurs oit être bien défini Il ne fait aucun doute que le retour à la normale nous démange, mais il y a des obstacles à surmonter et, bien sûr, des questions sur ce qui peut et doit être restauré à mesure que nous apprenons à travailler dans le cadre de la pandémie. Le premier ordre du rétablissement concernera l'ouverture des lieux de travail, ce qui n'est pas toujours aussi simple que de déverrouiller les portes, surtout pour les grands employeurs. Le gouvernement a travaillé avec les employeurs pour préserver les emplois pour essayer d’être bien préparer, lorsque les mesures d'urgence seront assouplies. Des programmes tels que les subventions salariales et les programmes de prêts pour les petites et moyennes entreprises sont un début, mais des questions ont été posées sur la manière dont le gouvernement aidera les grands employeurs et les corporations. Cela a changé récemment avec l'annonce du Crédit d'urgence pour les grands employeurs (CUGE). Le CUGE offrira un financement relais aux grands employeurs sous forme de prêts liés à des conditions telles que les plans climatiques et les objectifs de durabilité. Le gouvernement déclare également que les prêts ne doivent pas être utilisés pour des rachats d'actions, des dividendes ou une rémunération excessive des dirigeants. Pour donner une idée de la taille de ces employeurs, le CUGE aidera les entreprises dont les revenus annuels s'élèvent à 300 millions de dollars ou plus et qui recherchent un financement d'au moins 60 millions de dollars. Tous les secteurs, à l'exception du secteur
financier, ainsi qu’à certaines entreprises sans but lucratif, sont éligibles. Les néo-démocrates demandent au gouvernement de clarifier les règles du programme afin d'éviter les pires conséquences, telles que les fonds utilisés pour les primes et la rémunération des cadres lorsque des fonds de relance ont été offerts pendant l'effondrement financier de 2008. Nous demandons que des conditions soient imposées pour s'assurer que les soutiens financiers aident les travailleurs, et non les cadres. De plus, ça serait une insulte pour tous les Canadiens qui respectent les règles si des fonds fédéraux étaient accordés aux sociétés qui utilisent des paradis fiscaux pour éviter de payer des impôts. Il ne fait aucun doute que toute l'économie, tous secteurs confondus, est durement touchée par la COVID-19, mais ces défis ne sont pas une excuse pour le gouvernement de répéter les erreurs du passé. Lorsque le gouvernement dit "limiter" les bonus et les rachats d'actions, ce n'est pas la même chose que de dire qu'il va les arrêter. C'est un détail essentiel sur lequel les Canadiens méritent des réponses claires. Contrairement à ce qui se passe lorsque le gouvernement rachète des actions d'une entreprise, de tels prêts peuvent être annulés et nous n'avons aucun contrôle pour protéger les emplois canadiens ou garantir un investissement à long terme au Canada. Ce n'est pas aussi sûr que les capitaux propres. Malgré ces préoccupations, il est bon que le
gouvernement ait reconnu l'importance d'imposer des conditions, mais cette annonce est trop vague et laisse trop de portes ouvertes aux abus qui laisseraient les travailleurs derrière eux. D'autres pays sont allés plus loin et sont beaucoup plus clairs sur la façon dont leurs programmes fonctionneront et sur les personnes qui seront admissibles. L'Allemagne a complètement interdit les dividendes ainsi que les rachats d'actions tout en exigeant des cadres supérieurs qu'ils réduisent leurs salaires et leurs primes avant de recevoir une aide. C’est important de souligner que les entreprises qui utilisent des paradis fiscaux pour éviter de payer des impôts canadiens ne devraient pas recevoir une aide payée par les Canadiens par le biais de leurs propres impôts. En ne ciblant que les personnes "reconnues coupables d'évasion fiscale", le gouvernement place la barre trop basse et laisse encore l'argent public aller aux entreprises qui utilisent des paradis fiscaux à l’étranger et canalisent les ressources vers des juridictions à l'abri de l'impôt. Enfin, avant de distribuer le financement, le gouvernement doit s'assurer que les entreprises maintiendront leurs emplois et leurs investissements au Canada. À cette fin, il devrait être exigé qu'elles disposent d'un plan pour assurer la sécurité des travailleurs en leur offrant des protections en matière de santé et de sécurité. Il s'agit là d'une pièce importante du case-tête de la pandémie.

Protecting yourself from fraud during COVID-19
(NC) Safeguarding against scams can be a challenge. This is especially true during difficult periods like we are experiencing now. The COVID-19 pandemic is creating a lot of uncertainty and worry – the very things that fraudsters thrive on. Scams can include phone calls, emails and texts that seem to be from financial institutions
asking for personal or financial information. If you receive this kind of request, be cautious. Financial institutions will never ask for personal information, login credentials or account information by email or text message. If you are suspicious about information you receive related to your banking, contact the financial institution directly before taking any action. Here are a few more tips to help you be vigilant during this unprecedented time: ! Never click on links or attachments in unsolicited or suspicious emails. ! Never give out your personal or financial information by email or text. ! When banking online, enter your financial institution’s website address in your browser yourself. ! Beware of questionable
Ford and Rickford should take action now to stop gas price gouging in Northern Ontario Doug Ford and Energy Minister Greg Rickford should use the tools they have to take action on the price of gasoline in Northern Ontario, said Timmins NDP MPP Gilles Bisson, as gas prices continue to climb during the COVID-19 crisis. "During the COVID-19 crisis, Northerners are looking to the province to take action to resolve the challenges they are facing," said Bisson. “After two years in government, both Doug Ford and Greg Rickford have had every opportunity to stop gas price gouging in Northern Ontario, but they refused.” “Ford has only talked about the problem, but words are not enough. Northerners need action,” Bisson said. “Ford and Rickford have my bill in their hands to regulate gas prices in the province which would reduce prices in Northern Ontario. Today there should be no more excuses, no more talk. Northerners simply can’t afford to continue paying higher prices than anyone else in the province, especially during this crisis.” The NDP’s bill, Fairness in Petroleum Products Pricing Act, 2018, would allow the Ontario Energy Board to regulate the retail price and wholesale mark-up of petroleum products in Ontario. That means that gas prices in Ontario will not fluctuate and could only change once a week. The NDP bill will stop the spikes in gas prices at the pump, and provide relief and stability to drivers in Northern Ontario and right across the province. “Doug Ford and Greg Rickford need to use all the tools available to them to stabilize prices right now and get to work,” said Bisson. “These are critical and difficult times. It’s no surprise that words aren’t working – the Ford government needs to take action now.”

COVID-19. At 12:01 a.m. on May 16, 2020, Ontario is lifting the Restricted Fire Zone (RFZ) designation that was put in place last month across Ontario's fire region.

"This is an extraordinary period. As we put measures in place to protect our staff and the public from the pandemic, we have been taking additional steps to prepare for the wildland fire season," said John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. "Nothing is more important than protecting the safety of people and communities across the province. Although we want people to enjoy themselves, lifting the Restricted Fire Zone designation does not mean we can let our guard down when it comes to preventing human-caused forest fires." The province has also implemented a more aggressive approach to fighting wildland fires this season with a focus on detecting fires early, combating them with full force and keeping them as small as possible. "Despite the challenges of these unprecedented times, Ontario's emergency management personnel have been proactively working with partners to prepare for potential evacuations due to the wildland fire season," said Sylvia Jones, Solicitor General. "Public safety remains our top priority and our Provincial Emergency Operations Centre will continue to monitor forest fire situations with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and be ready to coordinate a response if called upon for evacuation assistance." Human-caused fires represent approximately 50 per cent of wildland fires that occur in Ontario each year. So far this year, Ontario has had 37 wildland fires burning 93 hectares. This is below the 10-year average of 114 wildland fires and 8,260 hectares burned to date. Before starting an outdoor fire, please check with your local municipality to see if a local fire ban is still in effect.

Public school facilities closed to the end of June: OPSBA statement work with the government and our school communities to ensure that we are able to provide the safest and most effective possible circumstances for the 2020-21 school year. Following the March Break, we're now entering our ninth week of school closures. Trustees, educators, and school and board administration have been working long hours to implement and create successful online remote learning for students from junior kindergarten through to Grade 12. School boards have gone above and beyond to reconnect educators with their students, source and donate their own stockpiles of PPE to local health authorities, and continue critical nutrition programs for students in need. Some teachers and schools have even used available 3D printers to create face shields for frontline workers. I have been so proud to see school board trustees, staff and school communities across Ontario rising to the challenge.

It is a cause for us all to worry that the painful, dangerous, decades-in-themaking problems in long-term care are not going to change. To fix the system, we need to give a voice to seniors, workers, experts, and families who’ve lost loved ones. We need to closely examine the role of private, forprofit corporations in long-term care.

Today, the Ontario government announced the retailers, seasonal businesses and health and community service providers who will be permitted to open or expand their services on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 12:01 a.m., provided that the general trend on health indicators continues to improve as part of the first stage of the government's reopening framework. The workplaces opening as part this stage are well-positioned to put workplace safety measures in place and get more people back to work, while not overburdening public transit and other services. The government also announced additional seasonal services and activities will be permitted to open as early as Saturday May 16, 2020 at 12:01 a.m., in time for the Victoria Day long weekend, as key public health indicators continue to show progress. The details were provided by Premier Doug Ford, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Rod Phillips, Minister of Finance, Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development. "During the last several weeks, the people of Ontario have been called on to make incredible sacrifices to help us stop the spread of COVID-19, including staying home from work, closing down businesses and going without a regular paycheque," said Premier Ford. "However, we are reopening even more of our businesses beginning this long weekend. We are taking a cautious, balanced approach to our economic reopening, to protect the health and safety of everyone." As soon as 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, 2020: -Golf courses will be able to open, with clubhouses open only for washrooms and restaurants open only for take-out. -Marinas, boat clubs and public boat launches may open for recreational use. -Private parks and campgrounds may open to enable preparation for the season and to allow access for trailers and recreational vehicles whose owners have a full season contract. -Businesses that board animals, such as stables, may allow boarders to visit, care for or ride their animal.

Ontario Announces Additional Workplaces that Can Reopen Cont’d from P.8 success, the public should continue to adhere to public health measures, including practising physical distancing or wearing a face covering when physical distancing is difficult or not possible, as well as regular handwashing and staying home when ill. The Chief Medical Officer of Health will closely monitor the evolving situation to advise when certain public health restrictions, including adjustments to social gatherings can be gradually loosened or if they need to be tightened. "Because of the collective efforts of all Ontarians, we are making real and significant progress in our battle against COVID-19, with the number of new cases each day shrinking," said Minister Elliott. "As we move forward with caution, public health experts will closely monitor each stage of reopening to carefully assess the evolution of the outbreak, so we can benefit from
the best practices and lessons learned across Ontario." The province will be providing an update on school closures and child care early next week. If you have questions about what will be open or impacts to your business or employment, call the Stop the Spread Business Information Line at 1-888-444-3659. On April 30, 2020, the government, in partnership with Ontario’s Health and Safety Associations, released sector-specific guidelines and posters to help protect workers, customers and the general public in preparation for the gradual reopening of the economy. These contain recommendations and tips for employers on how to keep workers and customers safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19. On April 27, 2020, the government released A Framework for Reopening our Province, which unveiled the guiding principles to the safe, stage-
by-stage reopening of businesses, services and public spaces in Ontario. This gradual reopening is part of the first stage of Phase 2: Restart in Ontario’s Framework for Reopening our Province. On March 25, 2020, the government launched Ontario’s Action Plan: Responding to COVID 19, a $17-billion package with funding targeted to protect the people of Ontario and support jobs, businesses and families as part of the government’s initial response to the pandemic. The new Ontario Jobs and Recovery Committee wants to hear directly from people and organizations from all regions and sectors to help inform the next phases of Ontario’s Action Plan in response to COVID-19. The survey, which is seeking feedback on the impacts of COVID-19 on personal finances, business supports and government relief measures, will be open until June 2020.

Cinq arnaques susceptibles de tromper même les personnes les plus avisées – comment vous protéger
(EN) Vous vous pensez à l’abri des dernières fraudes et des plus récentes arnaques? Les entreprises s’efforcent continuellement de protéger les données contre les attaques des fraudeurs, mais les fraudeurs s’efforcent encore plus d’y accéder. Vos renseignements personnels et financiers sont donc vulnérables aux intrusions. Même si l’on se facilite la vie grâce aux progrès de la technologie et aux outils comme les dispositifs de reconnaissance d’empreinte du pouce, de la voix et du visage, nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre de baisser la garde, » indique Doretta Thompson, responsable de la littératie financière à l’organisation Comptables professionnels agréés du Canada (CPA Canada). « Chacun de nous doit continuer à faire personnellement preuve de diligence en raison de
la menace constante de la fraude, en ligne et hors ligne. » Voici quelques exemples d’escroqueries dont il faut se méfier : -Les arnaques de rénovation domiciliaire. Les coûts associés aux rénovations peuvent s’accumuler rapidement, mais cela ne signifie pas que vous devez rogner sur les dépenses et faire des économies qui risquent de compromettre votre santé financière et votre sécurité. Méfiez-vous si un entrepreneur vous offre un rabais à la condition que vous le rémunériez en argent comptant et assurez-vous que chaque personne qui entre dans votre maison est agréée pour le type de travail qu’elle doit exécuter. De plus, veillez à ce que le contrat énonce clairement le type de travail qui sera effectué, les produits de finition qui seront utilisés et la personne qui sera responsable en cas de problème. -La fraude par carte de crédit. Selon un nouveau sondage réalisé par CPA Canada, 70 % des Canadiens redoutent plus la fraude aujourd’hui qu’il y a cinq ans. Il n’en demeure pas moins que malgré cette inquiétude, nous sommes nombreux à nous faire arnaquer : 19 % ont indiqué être au courant d’avoir été victimes d’une fraude par carte de crédit. Par exemple, si vous devez entrer vos renseignements de carte de crédit sur un site
Web, assurez-vous que la connexion internet est sécurisée en vérifiant la présente de la lettre « s » dans la mention « https », ce qui indique que le site est « sécurisé ». -Le vol d’identité. Votre numéro d’assurance sociale (NAS) vous identifie. Ne donnez jamais ce numéro à quiconque, sauf à un employeur qui vous a embauché, à un responsable d’un programme gouvernemental (comme les prêts étudiants) et à l’ARC aux fins de l’impôt sur le revenu. -Les stratagèmes amoureux. Les personnes seules, à la recherche de l’amour et de l’amitié, peuvent être très vulnérables et leur capacité à prendre des décisions est parfois compromise. Si vous communiquez avec une personne que vous avez connue sur un site de rencontre en ligne, prenez votre temps pour lui faire de la place dans votre vie et méfiez-vous si elle vous demande de l’argent pour quelque raison que ce soit, même si c’est pour venir vous voir. Les arnaques fiscales. Durant la saison des impôts, l’Agence du revenu du Canada avertit les Canadiens de faire attention à cette arnaque fréquente qui déçoit trop de personnes chaque année. Rappelez-vous que l’ARC ne demande jamais de renseignements personnels par courriel ou au téléphone, et n’envoie aucune communication contenant des propos menaçants ou agressifs.

Ce que vous devez savoir avant d'acheter un véhicule électrique (EN) Les ventes de véhicules électriques au Canada augmentent de 158 pour cent d'une année à l'autre selon Fleet Carma, une entreprise œuvrant dans le domaine des technologies propres. Cependant, nombre d'entre nous continuent d'hésiter en nous demandant si ce choix est vraiment pratique. Voici ce que vous devez savoir : Les véhicules électriques coûtent-ils plus cher? De plus en plus de fabricants automobiles lancent des modèles électriques à tous les prix, du modèle de base au modèle de luxe. Le coût initial d'un véhicule électrique peut s'établir en moyenne à 15 000 $ de plus que le modèle à essence comparable, mais on réalise d'importantes économies avec le temps en raison de l'entretien réduit et de l'amélioration de la technologie des
batteries, et au distributeur (ou non). Y a-t-il des endroits où je peux recharger ma voiture? L'infrastructure de recharge s'améliore considérablement et le secteur privé en reconnaît le besoin. Récemment, Petro-Canada a annoncé qu'elle allait aménager un réseau de plus de 50 bornes de recharge dans ses stations-service le long de l'autoroute transcanadienne, de la Nouvelle-Écosse à la Colombie-Britannique, ce qui permettra aux Canadiens de traverser le pays au volant de leur véhicule électrique. Cette année, le budget du gouvernement fédéral affecte 130 millions de dollars sur cinq ans aux préoccupations liées à l'infrastructure de recharge, notamment en finançant des bornes. Suis-je restreint par la distance que ma voiture peut parcourir? Les conducteurs de voitures électriques, ou ceux qui envisagent d'acheter un tel véhicule, continuent de s'inquiéter de ne pas pouvoir parvenir à destination par manque d’autonomie. Ces préoccupations seront toutefois bientôt chose du passé, car de
Practice Social Distancing
récentes initiatives du gouvernement et du secteur privé permettront aux Canadiens de recharger leur véhicule plus facilement. L'autonomie d'un véhicule électrique peut varier considérablement d'un modèle à l'autre, soit de 200 kilomètres à plus de 600 kilomètres par charge. Les plus longs déplacements exigent une certaine planification, mais grâce à l'amélioration de l'infrastructure, vous pourrez aller loin. Vu l'entrée sur le marché de véhicules électriques à moindre coût et la construction de l'infrastructure nécessaire, les voitures électriques deviennent plus accessibles et attrayantes. Alors que nous sommes plus nombreux à envisager l'achat d'un tel véhicule, l'augmentation des bornes de recharge d'un bout à l'autre du pays pourrait bien être le point de basculement.
