Lison Blais, 17 ans, a été trouvée par un étranger, Rudolf Pacesa, dans la ruelle à l’arrière de la résidence où elle vivait avec ses parents au 4685, rue Christophe-Colomb à Montréal. Elle…

Sommeil Sans Reves – Vivian Villeneuve / WKT4 #5
My favorite Quebec artist is Jean Paul Lemieux. Not all of the times, but sometimes he paints these stark landscapes where a simple figure stands very prominently in the foreground as if posing for a photograph. This can be seen in the podcast episode about Back River Jane Doe / Armand Duhamel – WKT3 #22…
