Ce dernier avait commencé la saison avec les Hawks de Hawkesbury dans la CCHL
Il fera ses débuts dans la LHJMQ en fin de semaine
face aux Cataractes de Shawinigan et aux Tigres de Victoriaville
At least the introductions are out of the way now
The Halifax Mooseheads and Rouyn-Noranda Huskies got a sense of each other in Game 1 of their second-round series on Friday but the first impression wasn’t as favourable for the Mooseheads as their last playoff opponent
The Huskies won the opener 4-1 in front of a 2,531 fans at the Glencore Arena in Rouyn-Noranda
compared to the first round when the Mooseheads got the jump on the Drummondville Voltigeurs

“They’re an elite team,” Mooseheads head coach Andrew Lord said
“They play at one of the fastest paces in the league
they forecheck and they’re four lines deep and they’re super relentless so they made it hard on us tonight
It is a different style (than Drummondville) and I think there was certainly a learning curve with that tonight and now we’ve got to be able to apply that to tomorrow’s game
We’re all going to need to be a notch better.”
The turnaround time between the first and second round was also as brief as it gets for the Mooseheads
Their series with the Voltigeurs only ended on Tuesday so they travelled straight to Rouyn-Noranda from Drummondville where they did their best to cram in their preparation for a new team while also refuelling emotionally and physically
“I don’t think that’s an excuse,” Lord said
you’d prefer to win a series in less than seven games but we had to fight and claw to get here and that’s where we’re at right now
We still had two days and it’s easy travel in this league in playoffs
We’re flying so we just need to be better – all of us – and I really believe we will be tomorrow.”
Getting into holes early in games is something the Mooseheads try to avoid as much as possible but the Huskies brought their notorious firepower in the first period to take control
They went ahead 2-0 in the opening 15 minutes and then stretched it to 4-1 in the second period so the Mooseheads couldn’t quite get their footing because they had to chase the game virtually all night
“One of our first chances against was a breakaway so that’s a problem,” Lord said
“We obviously talked about their fast break and how they send guys long but it’s easy to watch it in video
I’m really hopeful we’re going to adjust to the pace tomorrow and play a little bit of a smarter
harder game and make it more difficult on them from the opening puck drop.”
Benjamin Brunelle and Alexis Lemire were the Rouyn-Noranda scorers and Samuel Meloche stopped 19 shots
Quinn Kennedy had Halifax’s goal and Jacob Steinman made 36 saves
4 and 5 (if necessary) in Halifax on Tuesday
Games 6 and 7 are scheduled for the following Monday and Tuesday back in Rouyn-Noranda
Eddy Doyle and Caylen Blake did not play for the Mooseheads because of injuries

ON native is in his THIRD season in the CCHL with the Hawks
It’s a statement that can be made almost every year; facing the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies is no easy feat
the dogs of the north are on their way to finishing above .500 for the third straight campaign and 17th time in the past 22 seasons
Helping keeping this record of consistency intact is a solid mix of players representing various age groups
providing support on both sides of the puck
the club which scored 301 goals last campaign keeps finding the back of the net
finds himself in the top five of this year’s derby entering the final stretch of the regular season
He’s teamed up alongside the electrifying Bill Zonnon
who’s stayed with his veteran teammate every step of the way on the scoresheet in his all-important NHL Draft year
Lars Steiner made his way over from hockey-crazed Davos
Switzerland to make a statement in an impressive rookie season
This impressive group was further enhanced with the signing of Rémi Gélinas from the CCHL Hawkesbury Hawks
Through his first month and a half in Rouyn-Noranda
the 2026 Clarkson University commit has averaged more than one goal per game
With a gameplan that tends to lean on the offensive
there has probably been more high-scoring affairs than Steve Hartley and his coaching staff would prefer
puck moving blueliner Ty Higgins has proven that sometimes
the best defense is to simply keep advancing the puck into the attacking zone
20-year-old Alex Carr and sophomore Alexis Lemire have done a valiant effort of patrolling their own zone
Samuel Meloche took over the reins to start his first full season of QMJHL action and hasn’t looked back
A trade period deal to bolster the situation in nets led to 6’4’’ goaltender Zach Pelletier making his way from the Gatineau Olympiques
a dangerous attack and the ability to compete – and beat – their fellow contenders
Make no mistake; the Huskies are once again aiming to finish atop the pack this spring
which of these skaters has had the best playoffs so far

The Halifax Mooseheads made history in Drummondville on Tuesday night
Their 2-0 win over the Voltigeurs in Game 7 of their first round best-of-seven clinched a 4-3 victory
16 seed in the QMJHL’s long existence to win a playoff series
The massive upset moves the Mooseheads into the second round
where they’ll face the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies
“It was just a really fun series,” Mooseheads head coach Andrew Lord said
“We had a lot of belief and we could see improvement all through the regular season
… We had a lot of close games and lost a few one-goal games that we probably should’ve won but we really found our consistency in the playoffs
They all played hard and we got great leadership from our three 20-year-olds – Jacob Steinman
This has been such a fun couple of weeks.”
In what’s become typical Mooseheads fashion
committed to tight team defence and then waited patiently for scoring opportunities
That chance finally came after more than 38 minutes of scoreless hockey when defenceman Carlos Handel threaded a wrist shot through a crowd from the point and into the Drummondville net
it was nearly an entire third period of tension as the Mooseheads desperately hung on to that slim lead
finally exhaling when Liam Kilfoil clinched it with an empty-netter in the final minute
“That was obviously a huge goal and it was nice to see him put it in and give us that cushion,” Lord said
They push themselves every day and they show up ready to get better
There’s great camaraderie in our group and we have a lot of character
Those are things that make a difference in the playoffs.”
The other familiar element in the script was incredible goaltending from Steinman
It’s impossible to overstate just how good he’s been since coming to the Mooseheads in a January 6 trade from the Moncton Wildcats and this was another demonstration of perfection
He turned aside 38 shots for the shutout to earn the game’s first star
“He made a bunch of highlight-reel saves and he’s our rock back there
And he’s just an awesome guy to have around
The guys also defended really well tonight in front of him
They had good sticks and blocked a lot of shots so that part of our game was also really good.”
The Mooseheads managed to pull off the improbable victory without four of their regulars and now face the No
6 overall Huskies in a series that will start on the road on Friday
That doesn’t give the Mooseheads much time to reset but they already proved they can do that after they rebounded from a 6-0 loss to the Voltigeurs in Game 6 on Monday
“We’ll have a couple of days so we want to get some rest and it would be nice to get healthy and maybe get a couple of guys back,” Lord said
“We’re going to enjoy this right now and then we’ll get right back to it.”
One of two teams to surpass the 300-goal mark in 2023-24
the Huskies now deal with the inevitable roster turnover that is part of the major junior cycle
But they’ll be doing so with last year’s scoring champion
One of the players who should best benefit from Verreault’s puck distribution skills is electrifying third-year winger Bill Zonnon
He joins center Thomas Verdon and winger Benjamin Brunelle as returning forwards who will be relied upon to be difference makers on a Huskies squad that features a reduction in depth but some impressive parts at the top of the lineup nonetheless
Winger Lars Steiner comes to Rouyn-Noranda from Switzerland
where he was regarded as a driver on offense at all levels
it’s more like his 11th after spending parts of ten campaigns with the Halifax Mooseheads and Drummondville Voltigeurs
A Memorial Cup Champion as an Assistant Coach with the 2013 Mooseheads and an accomplished Head Coach with the Voltigeurs
who arrived in Rouyn-Noranda as a mid-season replacement behind the bench last season
has already developed a reputation for maximizing the potential of the teams he has led
most notably a Voltigeurs squad which stunned the league with a seventh-place finish in 2019-20
a season which was supposed to usher in a rebuild in Drummondville
This year’s Huskies pose a similar challenge
And with a relatively level playing field in the Western Conference
all bets should be off regarding what this group might be capable of with Hartley behind the bench
This might be not only the most intriguing question surrounding the Huskies
but the one that most greatly decides their final placement in the standings come March
the focus will shift to a pair of returnees in Ty Higgins and Alex Carr to both stabilize matters in their own zone while launching the counterattack once in possession of the puck
Among those making their debuts on the blue line are Antoine St-Laurent
a reliable presence with last year’s Telus Cup Champion Magog Cantonniers and Harijs Cjunskis
a Latvian-born blueliner with offensive touch and leadership abilities who has spent the past five seasons developing in Switzerland with the Lugano program
who takes over starting goaltender duties from William Rousseau
He’ll be backed up by 2023 second-rounder Samuel Meloche
HALIFAX — Liam Kilfoil scored the shootout winner to lead the Halifax Mooseheads to a 2-1 victory over the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies on Friday in Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League action
Daniel Walters scored the game's opening goal at 10:09 of the second period for Halifax (8-6-2)
Mathis Rousseau made 48 saves between regulation and overtime in the win

— Korney Korneyev knocked in the game-winning goal 37 seconds into overtime as the Chicoutimi Saguenéens edged the Drummondville Voltigeurs 3-2
with the game-tying score at 6:06 of the third period
Marc-Olivier Beaudry and Luke Woodworth netted goals for Drummondville (12-3-1-1)

The playoff road came to an end for the Halifax Mooseheads on Wednesday
They left everything they had on the ice but couldn’t extend their second-round series with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies
The Huskies won 5-1 in front of 7,251 fans at the Scotiabank Centre to complete a 4-0 sweep of the best-of-seven
we would’ve loved to have a better performance in the second round but you learn a lot with the losses and that’s what you want with a young team,” Mooseheads centre Braeden MacPhee said
Round one was such a success and that was the next step with this group
We learned how to have success and I’m so proud of how we battled
even though the score might not have shown it
“I think we really put our hearts out there and that’s why we’re maybe a little more upbeat right now because we know we gave it our all.”
There was no denying the Mooseheads’ willingness to keep their underdog run going but their bodies had other ideas
After a draining seven-game series against the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the first round and relentless pressure from the Huskies in this round
there just wasn’t much left in the tank by the end
“It was a quick turnaround and it’s something you can’t even train and prepare for
They have a great group over there and they played their game really well.”
It didn’t help that injuries kept piling up
Defenceman Carlos Handel left Game 3 on Tuesday and couldn’t go on Wednesday
leaving the Mooseheads without five regulars
Eddy Doyle and Caylen Blake didn’t play all series so the depth was put to an extreme test
Halifax only had four regular defencemen still standing – Brady Schultz
Lincoln Waugh and Mathieu Taillefer – and affiliate players Logan Trewin and Ryan Fletcher needed to fill in just to give them six bodies
“Injuries definitely played a part,” Schultz said
“We didn’t have one d-man who was healthy out there
it sucks but that’s playoff hockey and every single guy was battling through something
the Huskies swarmed the Mooseheads every chance they got
They pursued them non-stop in their own zone and didn’t give them any room to breathe anywhere else on the ice
It was enough to overwhelm the Mooseheads early as the Huskies outshot them 20-3 in the first period on their way to taking a 3-0 lead
it was just a matter of keeping that rolling and letting the clock run out
“That’s a great team with a great forecheck and I think that’s what our team’s going to look like in another year or two,” Schultz said
“They’re relentless so I’ve got to hand it to them
it wasn’t the first period we wanted but I think we gave it all we had
we were just so out of gas from that first round
Samuel Rousseau and Remi Gelinas had the goals for Rouyn-Noranda and Samuel Meloche stopped 11 shots
Quinn Kennedy scored for Halifax and Jacob Steinman made 35 saves
it stings for the Mooseheads but they see it as much as a beginning as an end
Steinman and MacPhee – are aging out of the league so the vast majority of the roster will be back next season
The experience the young players gained in this run will be invaluable by this time next year
“You could even see it this year,” Schultz said
this was their first playoff taste and they completely blew away any expectations anyone had
This team is set up for some really good success
especially with (Andrew Lord) as the head coach
He’s awesome and this team’s going to be really special.”
There is no doubt that Mathis Rousseau is the best goaltender in the QMJHL and it was case in point on Friday night at Scotiabank Centre where he was serenaded by 8000+ fans chanting his name in a 2-1 shootout victory over Rouyn-Noranda
The overage netminder was nearly unbeatable with 48 saves through regulation and overtime while going a perfect three-for-three in the shootout to earn the first star of the game
especially in the first 40 minutes of action that saw the home team outshot 33-5
but it was the stellar play of Rousseau that allowed Halifax to take a 1-0 lead into the final period of regulation
Box Score
Rookie Danny Walters scored his first home-ice goal in his hometown when he buried the perfect feed from fellow rookie Amelio Santini midway through the middle stanza
That stood as the only offense for either side until the Huskies finally cracked Rousseau on their 41st shot of the game when Bill Zonnon posted up at the top of the crease and deflected a point shot to tie the game 1-1 at the 6:38 mark of the third period
Rouyn-Noranda chose to play a cautious overtime frame and did not put much pressure on the Herd
despite having a dominant amount of puck possession time
That poor strategy played into the hands of the Moose who were more than happy to take their chances in the shootout with Rousseau at his best between the pipes
The goalie was perfect on the three Rouyn-Noranda attempts and Liam Kilfoil played the role of hero by sniping a beautiful goal to end it on the third Halifax shot
Final shots in the game were 49-18 Huskies and the crowd took over with the Rousseau chants once again as they anxiously predicted his name to be called as the first star
The game saw the return to the lineup of both Captain Brady Schultz and forward Shawn Carrier from the injured list
Carrier suffered an upper body during the second period and played sparingly the rest of the night
He will have his upper body injury reassessed prior to the next game and is considered day-to-day
The win snapped a three-game slide by the Moose who were coming off an unfavourable road trip from last weekend and improved their record to 8-6-2-0 with another tough matchup on the way this Sunday at Scotiabank Centre. The CHL’s #1 ranked Moncton Wildcats will visit at 3pm for Kids Day in Moose Country. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.ca
There’s barely time for the Halifax Mooseheads to catch their breath at the moment but you won’t catch anyone complaining
The Mooseheads pulled off one of the biggest upsets in league history by beating the Drummondville Voltigeurs in seven games in the first round
It’s well-known by now it was the first time ever a No
16 seed won a QMJHL playoff series and Halifax’s reward is another Goliath in the second round
which will include travel to Northern Quebec
before going at it again with another team that was miles ahead of them in the regular season standings
The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies finished in a tie for fifth place overall with a 37-19-3-5 record and 82 points
giving them a 34-point advantage over the 16th-place Mooseheads (19-35-8-2)
But that was the same script in the opening round against the third-overall Voltigeurs and the Mooseheads did not flinch
The players and head coach Andrew Lord beat the drum all series about the confidence they have in themselves and they didn’t fold even after losing several regulars to injuries
“I don’t think we’ve blinked once,” Halifax captain Brady Schultz said during the Drummondville series
“There’s been belief in this group from the start
no matter who we got we could give anybody a run for their money if we play hard and buy in.”
So with the brief interlude rapidly coming to a close
here’s what to expect leading up to Game 1 in Rouyn-Noranda on Friday:
Offence: This is the most pronounced mismatch heading into the series
The Huskies produced the second-most goals in the league during the regular season (258)
while the Mooseheads were second-to-last (155)
Rouyn-Noranda overager Antonin Verreault (85 points) and Bill Zonnon (83) both finished in the top seven in the Q scoring race and Lars Steiner was the second highest-scoring rookie (60)
The Huskies had 12 players with double digit goal totals so there is also depth
Halifax’s top scorer was Quinn Kennedy with 47 points
Liam Kilfoil (46) and Shawn Carrier (44) both hit the 40-point plateau but the next highest-scoring forward was Braeden MacPhee with 28 points
low-scoring games was the Mooseheads’ bread and butter against the Voltigeurs so they’ll need to execute that same formula in round two
Defence: This is where the statistical comparison is almost a wash
Rouyn-Noranda gave up the 11th-most goals (210) during the regular season
finishing just slightly ahead of Halifax (231
And if you remove the Mooseheads’ 6-0 loss in Game 6 in the first round
they only surrendered 13 goals the rest of the series for a per-game average of 2.17
The kingpins on the Huskies blueline are overagers Ty Higgins and Alex Carr
Higgins led all Q defencemen with 67 points and Middle Sackville’s Carr had 45 points and was plus-29
Carr is also the team captain and originally played for the Mooseheads after they took him in the fourth round of the 2020 draft
Halifax traded him to Rouyn-Noranda for a fourth-round pick during training camp in 2021
Schultz leads his team in playoff scoring with six points and holds the franchise record for career points by a defenceman
Mathieu Taillefer and Carlos Handel all raised their game in the first round
while Lincoln Waugh and affiliate Ryan Fletcher were outstanding in expanded roles after replacing Eddy Doyle and Justin Chiras because of injuries
Goaltending: Jacob Steinman was the first star three times and the second star once for the Mooseheads against the Voltigeurs
which speaks to his importance to the team
He faced an average of 38 shots per game in the first round and finished with a .943 save percentage and 2.43 goals against average
the 20-year-old is universally respected inside the dressing room and is a tremendous leader
There is no debate about who the Mooseheads’ playoff MVP is so far
Samuel Meloche is only 17 years old but was the third goalie drafted in 2023 so he has a sterling pedigree
He appeared in 51 of 64 regular season games and won 30 of them
then lowered his goals against average to 1.93 in the playoffs and has a .917 save percentage so he shouldn’t be an issue for the Huskies
the numbers favour the Huskies on paper so discipline will be critical for the Mooseheads
Rouyn-Noranda had the third-best power play during the regular season (27.2 per cent) and the sixth-best penalty kill (79.5)
Halifax was 15th with the man advantage (17.4) and 13th while shorthanded (76.9)
there is an ex-Mooseheads coach running the opposing team’s bench
Steve Hartley was an assistant in Halifax for three years
including with the 2012-13 QMJHL and Memorial Cup champions
Like Dominique Ducharme and Sylvain Favreau
he went on to coach the Voltigeurs for several seasons and is now in his second year at the helm in Rouyn-Noranda
Andrew Lord is off to a phenomenal start in his first year in Halifax
Guiding the Mooseheads to the epic first-round win was icing on the cake after transforming the league’s youngest roster into a competitive
Miscellaneous: Neither of the teams’ regular season meetings ended in regulation time
The Mooseheads won 2-1 in a shootout on Nov
11 and the Huskies responded with a 4-3 overtime victory in their rink two weeks later
… Rouyn-Noranda’s Glencore Arena has the smallest ice surface in the league – 190 by 85 feet
Standard rink dimensions in North America are 200 by 85 feet
… Game 2 is in Rouyn-Noranda on Saturday at 5 p.m
and the next three are scheduled for Halifax on Tuesday
Games 6 and 7 are back in Rouyn-Noranda on April 21 and 22
… The Huskies are 12-1-1-0 in their past 14 games
Their only loss in the first round was in overtime
They eliminated the Gatineau Olympiques in five games
… The current injured Mooseheads are Doyle
… It’s worth noting Drummondville captain Luke Woodworth is the league scoring leader after the first round with 13 points
The Bridgewater native was a 20-year-old this season so he’s out of junior eligibility but he’ll continue his hockey career in the NCAA with the University of Nebraska-Omaha
The dam sprung a bit of a leak for the Halifax Mooseheads in Rouyn-Noranda on Saturday
The Huskies leaned hard on them in Game 2 of their QMJHL second-round series and the weight was a bit too much to bear
The Huskies won 5-0 to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven
“The guys will put their best foot forward tomorrow and regroup
They’re great that way,” Mooseheads head coach Andrew Lord said
“We’ll respond accordingly and that’s all we can do
We’ve got to keep going and we’ve got to keep grinding.”
There was nothing subtle about the Huskies’ game plan
They jumped all over the Mooseheads right from the opening face-off and did not let up even for a single shift
They pumped 38 shots at Jacob Steinman in the first two periods on their way to building a 3-0 lead and eventually chased him from the Halifax net midway through the third period when it got to 5-0
It was all about overwhelming the underdog Mooseheads and the Huskies are now in the driver’s seat after accomplishing what every home team sets out to do to open a series
“It was another good learning lesson,” Lord said
“I thought we mucked it up and grinded in the first (period) so
they upped the ante in the first 10 minutes of the second and they were wave after wave all four lines
They had us hemmed in for pretty much that whole 10 and then got a couple of goals as a result
“It was unfortunate we couldn’t really get our footing back after that
we have a couple of days to regroup and get home and go at it again.”
the Mooseheads have the benefit of recent experience and a change of scenery working in their favour
The Drummondville Voltigeurs gave the Mooseheads all they could handle at different points of the first round but couldn’t break them
And the Mooseheads will finally return home after spending the better part of a full week immersed in four intense make-or-break games in Quebec
4 and 5 (if necessary) are scheduled for Tuesday
Wednesday and Friday at the Scotiabank Centre
“It’s a best-of-seven and there’s still a long way to go,” Lord said
Bill Zonnon and Ty Higgins each scored twice for the Huskies and Remi Gelinas had their other goal
Samuel Meloche finished with a 19-save shutout and Steinman and Nick Cirka combined to stop 41 shots
Caylen Blake and Eddy Doyle remain sidelined for Halifax
… Defenceman Ryan Fletcher and forward Cole MacLeod got the call to fill the open spots for the second time in the series

QC – The Saint John Sea Dogs dropped the second game of a three-game Quebec road trip Friday night
this time against the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 6-1
Rouyn-Noranda had six different goal scorers in Benjamin Brunelle
Dylan Rozzi scored the lone goal and recorded the only point for Saint John
Sea Dogs goaltender Justin Robinson made the initial save on Benjamin Brunelle
but Brunelle regained control and lifted it into the top corner at 14:37 in the first period
A clean passing play between Alexis Poirier and Antonin Verreault set up Remi Gelinas for a goal three minutes later
Ty Higgins blasted a one-timer past Robinson on a feed from Verreault at 13:00 to extend the Huskies lead to 3-0
Huskies goaltender Samuel Meloche mishandled the puck
leading to a turnover that Dylan Rozzi capitalized on for his 11th of the season
Samuel Rousseau got the puck to Lars Steiner in front of the Sea Dogs net at 16:15
The Huskies continued to pull away early in the third when Nathan Langlois set up Harijs Cjunskis
who tucked the puck under Robinson’s arm just two minutes in
Langlois broke in shorthanded and found Thomas Verdon
who patiently waited out Robinson before sliding the puck around him
Box Score
Saint John finish up the three-game trip Saturday at the Centre Agnico Eagle against the Val-d’Or Foreurs at 5:00 pm

There were some light grumblings when Karkwa were announced as headliners for the 2024 edition of the Festival de musique émergente en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (FME)
this year's edition was high on the "E" of FME
meaning the programming skewed strongly toward the emerging and light on the big names
as Louis-Jean Cormier and his band of merry men — including François Lafontaine on keys
Julien Sagot on guitar and percussion and Stéphane Bergeron on drums — took to the main stage just after 10 p.m
it was clear that the choice was a judicious
As such, this latest string of dates feels like a victory lap for a band leaning toward legacy status. As noted in Bruno Coulombe's review of Karkwa's last album, it's impossible to overstate the importance of the group in the Québec musical landscape. To date the only francophone winners of the Polaris Music Prize, they've managed to build a discography that's both experimental and accessible and established themselves as one of the province's favourite bands of all time.
Their earlier tour dates focused strongly on material off Dans la seconde, and when the band kicked off their set with "Parfaite à l'écran", the first single off what may now be their final album, one feared that this show would follow suit. Those fears were quickly assuaged with a selection of songs from their Polaris-winning 2011 album Les Chemins de verre, including rousing renditions of "Le Pyromane" and "L'acouphène."

ROUYN-NORANDA - A Quebec author’s newest novel is shedding light on the rich and tumultuous history of Northern Ontario and Quebec during the 1960s and '70s
exploring the intertwined narratives of crime
Through archival research and real-life stories
author Nicole Lemay’s book Rouyn: Going through the 60’s and the 70’s Volume 1
paints a vivid portrait of life in the region’s mining and logging towns and the impact of social and economic challenges on residents
“The book talks about how morals and customs were in those days
How it was hard for women to survive when their husbands were gone to hotels
but also how hard men were working,” she said
the one that’s the subject of my book
she was married to a man that was a logger
One day he didn't come back home and she didn't have money and back then
A lot of women had to do that to survive and to feed their families.”
Lemay said she went through the archives in Rouyn-Noranda
a city on Osisko Lake in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region about 30 minutes from the Ontario border
“I went through every paper that I could find during the year of 1960 and 1978 and I wrote it down
And then I spoke with people who were about 80 to 85 years old who talked about their life during that time
Then I created a story around all of it,” she said
a Canadian businessman and prospector who headed to Northern Ontario following the discovery of copper and gold on the shores of Lake Osisko
so a syndicate of New Liskeard financed the initial mining development
And it was in 1923 that Noranda Mines Ltd was born,” Lemay said
66 per cent of prospectors from all over Canada arrived in the area
The book also highlights crime and poverty in Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Northern Ontario
Rouyn was pretty much like a little Montreal
I believe it might have had something to do with the Parti Québécois of René Lévesque who wanted the separation of Quebec.”
who began writing in 2016 and has since published seven novels
said that this English version was requested by members of a Rouyn-Noranda Facebook group
as well as by her children and grandchildren so they could learn more about the eras highlighted in her book
Writing in English also fulfills a personal goal of connecting with the English-speaking community
reflecting her own journey of learning the language later in life
Lemay was 26 when she moved to Ontario to learn English
and don't bother about the others that say
I wanted to do this to show them that you can do something that you want to do,” she said
“My goal was to freeze a perfect moment when I was doing photography
it's to make the past relived,” she said
“Our generation is on the verge of disappearing completely
Although times were pretty rough in both cities
it goes without saying that they were the best years of my life

the exceptional collaboration between the MUHC and the CISSS de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue (CIUSSSAT) as part of the RUISSS McGill was showered with praise and a prestigious award from the Programme québécois de cancérologie in the category « Organisation des services » (Organisation of Services)
entitled Collaborating to better serve the regions: a radiation oncology centre in Abitibi-Témiscamingue
lasting ties with the Rouyn-Noranda Hospital’s radio-oncology centre
The MUHC played a leading role in the clinical design
an essential service corridor has also been set up to compensate for any disruption to radiotherapy services
With a population of 150,000 in a remote region of Quebec
the need for specialised healthcare was acute
patients had to travel long distances to Gatineau or Montreal to access vital treatments
This unprecedented collaboration has resulted in the Rouyn-Noranda centre becoming a model of success
Featuring the most advanced technologies including a linear accelerator (LINAC) and a CT scanner
supported by a state-of-the-art treatment planning system as well as integrated information interfaces
the centre can treat up to 600 patients each year
658 patients were treated from 2023 to 2024
“Many thanks to the entire MUHC team for all their support
Thank you to everyone who helped make this project a reality
Let’s keep up the good work that makes all the difference in the lives of our patients and their families,” said Georges Makdessi
Chief Medical Physicist of the Regional Radiation Oncology Centre
also expressed how pleased he was with this project: “It gives the people of Abitibi-Témiscamingue local access to radiotherapy
this has increased the rate of radiotherapy use
because it was difficult for people to travel outside the region for treatment.”
Chief of Medical Physics in the MUHC Cancer Care Mission who was involved in the project from its beginnings
confided that he was very proud of the collaborative efforts between the MUHC and the CIUSSSAT: “I’ve been personally involved in the project since 2018 and I’m very happy to see this community have access to radiation oncology services
The collaboration is complete — from conceptualisation
Associate Director of the MUHC Cancer Care Mission
“this project places the region’s oncology patients at the heart of our concerns
We need to continue our efforts to make access to specialized care more equitable
Congratulations to the entire MUHC radiation oncology team
who continues to play a leading role in cancer treatment and the transformation of healthcare in Quebec
The wear and tear of their Cinderella playoff run may be catching up to the Halifax Mooseheads
It took seven gruelling games to get past the heavily favoured Drummondville Voltigeurs in the first round
only to earn a date with the equally tough Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the second round
The Mooseheads continue to leave everything they have on the ice but the deeper
more experienced Huskies are pushing them to their limits
high-pace brand of hockey in Game 3 at the Scotiabank Centre on Tuesday
securing a 4-1 win and 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven
“We’ve had a lot of injuries and I think that Drummondville series took a lot out of us,” Mooseheads centre Liam Kilfoil said
“With a younger team with not much experience
beating a team like that took a lot out of us
But we’re here now and we’re going to keep fighting.”
The Huskies are relentless on the forecheck and bombard the Halifax net with shots so it’s hard for the Mooseheads to get any time or space to establish their counter-attack
The Mooseheads only have two goals so far in the series and have been outshot 120-59 over three games
Rouyn-Noranda finished with a 40-20 edge in Game 1
It’s all the Mooseheads can do to get themselves stabilized under the constant attack
“We’re hanging in there but they’re obviously a very good team,” Kilfoil said
“They forecheck very hard and they’re on you the whole time
We didn’t have much time at all up there so it’s been a little bit tough that way
the Mooseheads lost another huge piece from their back end in Game 3
Key defenceman Carlos Handel exited the game in the second period with an injury
leaving Halifax with just four regulars and affiliate player Ryan Fletcher on their blueline
Mathieu Taillefer and Lincoln Waugh are the only regulars still standing now that Handel has joined Eddy Doyle and Justin Chiras on the sidelines
it’s always hard but we were already down a couple so it’s tough to play even more minutes,” Kilfoil said
We’ve lost guys up there and everyone’s working hard to make up for it.”
Lars Steiner and Alex Carr scored for the Huskies
who led 2-0 after the first period and 3-1 after 40 minutes
Callum Aucoin’s goal in the second period was the Mooseheads’ first scoring play since the opening period of Game 1
“It’s tight out there and there’s not much room,” Kilfoil said
they’re good defensively and every line works very hard
They’re always on you hitting and everything.”
The Mooseheads will look to extend the series in Game 4 on Wednesday night at the Scotiabank Centre
Game 5 will be in Halifax on Friday and Games 6 and 7 will be back in Rouyn-Noranda on Monday and Tuesday next week
“It’s do or die tomorrow so we might as well lay it all out there,” Kilfoil said
Kilfoil and Mooseheads teammate Shawn Carrier all received a ranking on Tuesday’s final NHL Central Scouting Service’s list
Handel was 73rd among North American skaters
Four Nova Scotians made the rankings – Antigonish’s Brady Peddle (86th)
Drew Allison (127th) and Cole Chandler (172nd)
Cape Breton Eagles defenceman Will Murphy was 97th and teammate Alexis Cournoyer was 16th among North American goalies
Notes: Forwards Will Bent and Caylen Blake are also still hurt for Halifax
Cole MacLeod was added to the lineup up front
- Matyas Melovsky put away the game-winning goal at 14:38 of the third period as the Baie-Comeau Drakkar edged the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 2-1 on Friday in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League
Raoul Boilard had the other goal for Baie-Comeau (28-19-4) as goaltender Lucas Beckman made 38 saves
Samuel Rousseau scored for Rouyn-Noranda (28-14-8)
— Philippe Veilleux and Noah Reinhart had two goals apiece as Val-d'Or routed the Tigres
Nathan Brisson and Hemrick Carbonneau rounded out the attack for the Foreurs (21-25-5)
Thomas Gagnon and Thomas Paquet replied for Victoriaville (12-35-4)
— Dawson Sharkey had a hat trick as the Titan sank Shawinigan
Colby Huggan and Emile Perron chipped in for Acadie-Bathurst (26-22-2)
Kody Dupuis and Brogan McNeil scored for the Cataractes (28-18-5)

The Charlottetown Islanders surprised a lot of people
and most of their fans winning two of three in Quebec last weekend
including a tight 4-2 loss to Drummondville
The goaltending of Nicolas Ruccia and talented rookie Don Hickey has been stellar
Charlottetown received timely scoring from Egor Goriunov
Alexis Michaud and solid contributions from defencemen Owen Conrad and Thomas Sirman
The Islanders beat Shawinigan and Victoriaville and have jumped right back into middle-of-the-pack contention in the Eastern Conference with 23 points

Clearly Toronto and Florida are a notch ahead of the others in a division of mediocre clubs
and top goaltending in Anthony Stolarz (2.13 GAA) and Joseph Woll (2.23)
who are also in the top four in save percentage at .923 and .924
Toronto has allowed just 63 goals-against – lowest in the Eastern Conference
I’ll eat this column in the Red Shores’ dining room in May if Toronto does not make it to the Eastern Conference final
Great goaltending has elevated the New Jersey Devils and Washington into a group of legit Stanley Cup contenders

while newcomers Ethan Montroy and Johnathan Lanza have been game-changing additions to the roster
The Isles have also benefited from elite goaltending
with the tandem of Nicolas Ruccia and Donald Hickey proving to be one of the strongest duos in the CHL
the Isles continue to be underestimated across the league
they’ll look to prove once again that they’re a serious contender as they take on a strong Rouyn-Noranda team that currently sits second in the Western Conference

– It was a game with multiple lead changes- the Eagles struck first
A goal in the five minute from Rouyn-Noranda’s Ty Higgins sent the game to overtime
– Lucas Romeo helped pace the attack with two goals for the Eagles
and Dylan Andrews also scored for Cape Breton in regulation
Patterson & Andrews each registered assists along with their goals
while Joey Henneberry picked up two assists
while Kyle Hagen allowed five goals on 19 shots prior to being pulled for Meloche
– With the victory the Eagles sweep the two game season series with Rouyn-Noranda
The first period didn’t offer many signs of a chaotic game
although there were scoring chances with Rouyn-Noranda outshooting the Eagles 13-6
The period was played entirely five on five until the dying seconds with a delayed penalty against the Eagles
The penalty wouldn’t begin until the second period with Henneberry was in the box
and Newcombe caught up to the puck coming out of the box down the left wing and put it through Hagen to give the Eagles the first goal
Rouyn-Noranda would make their next power play count though
as Lars Steiner blasted a shot from the right faceoff circle past Milota to equalize
The Huskies pulled ahead before the half mark of regulation
and further ahead by the 15 minute mark of the period: a shot by Antoine St-Laurent redirected off of Charles-Éric Tremblay’s leg went by Milota
Nathan Langlois zipped up the wing and cut in to beat Milota and give the Huskies a two goal edge
a tripping penalty was called to Langlois and the Eagles appeared to be going on their first power play- until a scrum ensued that gave multiple penalties to each team
including ten minute misconducts to Newcombe & Higgins
Playing five on five and undaunted by the non-power play
the Eagles pulled within a goal as Patterson set up Romeo from behind the net
the Eagles’ comeback hopes didn’t get off to a great start when Brunelle pushed the puck over the goal line
But after the Eagles killed off the bulk of the Romeo penalty
Axel Dufresne was given a high sticking minor
Burbidge’s goal came just 18 seconds into an abbreviated Cape Breton power play
A shot from Henneberry bounced off Andrews’s leg
and he was able to slide the puck over the goal line to tie the game at at the 6:15 mark
Romeo blasted a shot that rung off iron and went over the goal line to give the Eagles their second lead of the night
The fifth Eagles goal spelled the end of the evening for Hagen
but the activity wasn’t limited to a goaltending change as the aftermath saw St-Laurent assessed double minor for spearing Romeo
Having killed off most of the first half of the double minor
the Huskies found themselves in more trouble when Axel Dufresne was whistled for boarding
given the Eagles a full two minute five on three
and drew their own power play due to a Newcombe minor
but the Eagles killed off that penalty off to keep a 5-4 lead
Regulation had one more twist in the road as in the final five minutes
when Higgins jumped into the open space and ripped the tying goal by Milota
Neither team could find one more breakthrough and the game headed to overtime locked at five
There was only one Eagles shot on goal in the opening two minutes of overtime
Andrews came up the right wing on a two on one and found Patterson on the other side
and he beat Meloche to give the Eagles an overtime victory
The Eagles are next in action on Friday night
for their first meeting this season against the Islanders in Charlottetown
The game will be televised on Eastlink and is also available for purchase on https://shorturl.at/c1Hbr

Falco Resources (TSX.V: FPC) has published the results of an independent survey of the population of Rouyn-Noranda and Abitibi-Témiscamingue conducted by Léger regarding the Falco Horne 5 underground mine project
The results show Falco enjoys strong majority support in Rouyn-Noranda
where 72% of respondents are in favour of the Horne 5 project
These results demonstrate the population’s significant support for the project
particularly given its economic spin-offs and positive impact on employment
The survey showed that respondents recognized the benefits the project will bring to the region
emphasizing its key role in local and regional economic growth and job creation
Despite some concerns about environmental impacts
a strong majority of respondents (73%) are confident Falco will work with civil society actors to ensure responsible implementation of the project
Falco also highlighted that the poll showed that a high proportion of respondents (74%) felt the project should proceed for the community's benefit
strengthening the legitimacy and social acceptability of the Falco Horne 5 project in the region
the company’s vice president of environment
sustainable development and community relations
stated: “As demonstrated by the numerous briefs submitted to BAPE
these results confirm the population’s strong support for our Project and our commitment to act responsibly
We will continue our concerted efforts with all stakeholders to ensure a mutually beneficial development
We believe this strong support justifies our request to the Québec government to deem the project acceptable.”
Falco Resources CEO Luc Lessard added: “These results are a testament to the broad support for the Project among Rouyn-Noranda residents
consistent with what we have been seeing for several years now
Falco has submitted to the authorities at the Québec government a mining development project that will be of great benefit to the city
the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region and all of Québec
the government has yet to recognize the Project’s conformity.”
The company will continue its discussions with the Ministère de l'Environnement
de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques
de la Faune et des Parcs to have the project’s compliance recognized and complete the environmental analysis
The Falco Horne 5 project features a state-of-the-art mining operation that maximizes the use and rehabilitation of previously disturbed sites such as Quemont and Norbec
The company has estimated that the project will generate significant economic benefits
contributing about $3.8 billion to Québec’s GDP
including $2.2 billion to the regional GDP
notably through the creation of 900 jobs during construction and 500 jobs during operations
Falco Resources is one of the largest mineral claim holders in the province of Quebec
with an extensive portfolio of properties in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt
Falco holds rights to approximately 67,000 ha of land in the Noranda mining camp
which represents 67% of the camp and includes 13 former gold and base metal mining sites
Falco’s main asset is the Horne 5 project located beneath the former Horne mine
which was operated by Noranda from 1927 to 1976 and produced 11.6 million ounces of gold and 2.5 billion pounds of copper
Osisko Development is Falco's largest shareholder

Quebec’s public consultation agency has declared Ressources Falco’s proposed Horne 5 gold-silver-copper-zinc project, which would be located beneath the city of Rouyn-Noranda, to be “unacceptable,” citing a lack of sufficient data on risks and impacts, as reported by CBC News
The agency’s report highlighted concerns about blasting and seismic activity risks
which it said could affect the local population and the city’s radiation oncology centre
which is aiming to start production by 2030
which includes forming a committee tasked with ensuring that the project’s operations would not impact the radiation oncology centre
Each participating company will receive an equity-free grant of up to US$500,000
Among the recipients is Canadian company Viridian Metals
which owns two critical metals deposits in Labrador
Quebec is bumping up its funding for the Quebec Mining Institute (INMQ) from $1 million to $1.5 million for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, as reported by The Canadian Press
The institute manages the training of workers in the mining industry and also provides guidance to the Quebec government

Langlois added to the Huskies lead with his fourth of the campaign at 14:25
a scrum after a whistle in the Huskies corner would result in Cape Breton’s Newcombe and Squires picking up penalties as well as Rouyn-Noranda’s Hagen
Cape Breton would cut the Huskies lead to one before the end of the second period with Romeo notching his fourth goal of the season at the 15:10 mark
The Huskies regained the two-goal lead at 1:24 of the third period with Brunelle scoring his first goal of the season
but the Eagles responded with a pair of power play markers by Burbidge and Andrews to tie the game 4-4
Cape Breton took the lead 21 seconds after Andrew tied the game at 6:36 to make the score 5-4
but Higgins responded in the final five minutes of play with his eighth goal of the campaign to even the score and send the game to overtime
The Eagles controlled the puck for much of overtime
Cape Breton wins the season series with Rouyn-Noranda 2-0
Rouyn-Noranda outshot Cape Breton 44-30 while going 1-for-6 on the power play
The Eagles went 2-for-5 with the man-advantage
Cape Breton will return to the ice for a two-game set with the Charlottetown Islanders on Friday and Saturday

Multiple cities in Quebec are currently competing with some of the coldest places on Earth
grab your warmest coats — it's outrageously cold outside
According to figures from WX-Now, a site that tracks the world's most extreme weather
five spots in Quebec were competing with some of the coldest places on Earth as of Tuesday morning
With Arctic air blanketing the province on January 21
temperatures have plummeted to shocking lows
Here's a closer look at these freezing spots
Chamouchouane takes the cake (or popsicle) for the world's third-coldest place today
with temperatures dropping to a bone-chilling -40 C
Rouyn-Noranda is in a deep freeze with temperatures hitting -38 C
Calm winds might make it feel slightly less brutal
but don't let that fool you — it's dangerously cold out there
residents face -37 C with scattered clouds and brisk winds adding to the chill
This level of cold makes staying outside for too long seriously risky
This part of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean area matches Chapais with equally icy temperatures of -37 C
conditions have been listed as "calm."
Here's how the global top 10 rounded out on Tuesday morning
with the vast majority of cold spots being found throughout Canada:
While Quebec is no stranger to a brutally cold winter
these frigid temperatures result from arctic air masses sweeping across Canada
The polar vortex tightened its icy grip over the weekend
and Quebec is in the direct path of this frosty air invasion
Quebecers could soon be in for a well-deserved warm spell
According to The Weather Network's mid-winter report card
February is expected to bring a shift in the weather
with milder temperatures making an appearance during the second and third weeks of the month

recently spoke to the World Socialist Web Site about the censorship his band suffered earlier this spring
a small industrial town in northwestern Quebec
After a multi-year battle with an aggressive form of cancer diagnosed when he was 26
The formation of the group coincided with the revelation
of new information about the deadly consequences of the Horne Foundry’s emissions of arsenic and other heavy metals for the health of the population
These revelations fueled popular anger against the multinational which has the full support of the current government of Premier François Legault of the Coalition Avenir Québec and his predecessors in the Parti Québécois and the Liberal Party
It was at this point that Simon and the other band members decided to turn Guhn Twei into a socially critical band
one of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region’s leading companies
Guhn Twei’s criticism led to their removal from the program of a music festival
which was organized and sponsored by a Horne Foundry supplier
Simon and the other members of his band are honest and courageous artists
In their new song “Capitale de l’Arsenic,” released last April
the band makes the link between the contamination caused by the Horne Foundry and the wider social situation
Simon sings that Rouyn-Noranda is the “Capital of unbridled capitalism” and the “Capital of social inequality.”
was announced on June 12 to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the first labor dispute at the Horne mine
as many of the workers were originally from Central and Eastern Europe
Simon told the WSWS that he found their story inspiring because “even though they lost their fight and got deported in the end
they had the courage to fight (literally) for justice and against those who oppressed them.”
When asked what he thought of the anti-immigrant chauvinism constantly promoted by Quebec’s political class to denounce immigrants and even blame them for the housing crisis
it’s ‘blame-shifting.’ Using scapegoats to divert attention from the real causes of the social problems we’re experiencing.”
On the band’s Facebook page, the music video for the song “Capitale de l’arsenic” has been viewed more than 120,000 times and received over 1,000 reactions
This shows that there is clearly an audience among young people and workers for artists who depict social reality honestly
This interest coincides with the growing struggles of workers and young people—in Quebec
the rest of Canada and everywhere else—in the face of the advanced crisis of the profit system and the many problems it engenders
official indifference to the COVID-19 pandemic
too few artists dare to engage with social reality and the world around them
These are the vital questions we discussed with Simon
World Socialist Web Site: Can you tell us about the recent cancellation of the festival where Guhn Twei was due to perform
Simon Turcotte: If we start from the beginning
we were approached at the end of 2023 by one of the people from the Alien Fest organization to play at the 2024 edition
Everything was confirmed until the end of March 2024
when the organization started sending us messages that there might be conflicts of interest
It was a bit nebulous at first and we didn’t really understand what was going on
we received a message from one of the organizers
who is also a shareholder in Métal Marquis
telling us that he had to withdraw Guhn Twei from the program because of our criticism of the Horne Foundry in our songs
Pépin bluntly wrote in his message that because Métal Marquis is a supplier of the foundry
there was a conflict of interest and that was the reason for the decision
as we decided not to remain silent in the face of this act of censorship
and Métal Marquis gave an interview to Radio-Canada
the journalist came to see us and we gave our side of the story
the festival decided to “pull the plug” and cancelled the 2024 edition of Alien Fest
WSWS: What led you to write songs against the Horne Foundry
an extremely rare and very aggressive soft tissue cancer
I had five tumors and five major operations that eventually led to the complete amputation of my right leg
in the spring and summer of 2022 there was the arsenic scandal
Data came out on the levels of arsenic in the air in Rouyn-Noranda
provoking a huge controversy and public debate
in our music room right next to the foundry
So with everything I’d been through before
and everything that was going on socially at the time we were starting this new band
it just came naturally to talk about this subject
we started talking about air quality and what people are going through here in Rouyn-Noranda in relation to the Horne Foundry and Glencore
WSWS: Can you elaborate on the impact of the smelter’s emissions on the health of the people of Rouyn-Noranda
ST: It has been proven that there’s a higher rate of cancer and lung disease here in Rouyn-Noranda than elsewhere
There’s more heavy metal contamination than elsewhere
the cancer I had and which is supposed to be extremely rare according to the team of oncologists who treated me at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital in Montreal
have come to light in Rouyn-Noranda in recent years
WSWS: In terms of your artistic development
what were the consequences of your cancer and the situation with the Horne Foundry
But after spending so much time being sick
going to hospitals and living so close to the foundry; that was my post-cancer
It just came naturally to talk about that reality
That’s why you’re labelled a “committed” artist
because you talk about things that others don’t dare tackle
It was only natural for me to express this in my music
WSWS: In the film Minamata
about the true story of a photographer who documented the health consequences of a chemical plant’s discharges on the population of a small town in Japan
it is shown that this commitment “revives” the artist and reinvigorates his art
Do you see a link with your own evolution as an artist
the lyrics of my music were much more nihilistic
making committed music that’s a call to action
It has transformed my feeling of having no control over my situation and seeing no light at the end of the tunnel
To go from writing songs that say there’s no hope to lyrics that dare to attack the problems we’re experiencing in Rouyn-Noranda and point the finger at those responsible
gives meaning to what we’re doing and what we’re experiencing
what are your impressions of the healthcare system
there’s a link to be made with the Horne Foundry
the argument to justify the presence in a city of this kind of a highly polluting plant is that it’s good for the economy
they never take into account all the real costs or consequences on quality of life
how much does it cost for people to fall ill from the fumes
So these companies have social costs that are never considered in public discourse
when you’re in Abitibi-Témiscamingue and you catch a cancer like that
they’re not equipped for it and they don’t have the specialists here in the region
So you have to go to Montreal for treatment
[Rouyn-Noranda is a seven-hour drive from Montreal.] I was hospitalized in Montreal for weeks at a time over several years
and my family had to take I don’t know how many days off to be with me
how much unpaid leave do they have to take to accompany their children during treatment in Montreal
lodging and other medical and other related expenses
It’s a reality that’s often forgotten when we talk about economic issues
WSWS: I’d like to take a closer look at these questions
The argument is often made by the media and the government that Glencore’s Horne Smelter brings “economic benefits.” This argument is also taken up by union leaders
Quebec director of the United Steelworkers
the union which bargains for 1,500 Glencore employees
including nearly 400 at the CCR refinery in Montreal East
“We are confident that with the money injected
Glencore will be able to reduce its arsenic and carbon emissions even more significantly
More than 3,000 direct and indirect jobs depend on it.” Would you like to comment on this
ST: There’s a new mining project here in Rouyn-Noranda
they’re not making the job creation argument
because there’s already a shortage of manpower
They’ve already got too many projects because they don’t have enough manpower
and we’ve got a housing crisis—and soon they’re going to bulldoze a neighbourhood in Rouyn-Noranda
because of the foundry fumes—so we’re going to have a bigger housing crisis
we’re going to run out of room to put these people
they still want to build more mining projects
there’s even a study by an economist that came out last year showing that Rouyn-Noranda’s economy would hold up even if the smelter closed
but the real reason is that they want to exploit resources and make money
have known that the Horne Foundry pollutes and that this has consequences for the environment and people’s health
So what do you think the governments’ real objective is
ST: We know that Abitibi-Témiscamingue has always been a mining region
They’ve always tried to lure big companies here to set up shop and extract our resources
Governments just want to be able to facilitate the arrival of these industries
for whom the most important thing is the “economy.” Abitibi
like all of northern Quebec and northern Ontario
has been developed like a “wild west,” with no rules and a system of mining “claims” that means resources don’t belong to the population
it’s something we’ve noticed living here over the years: the interests of these big mining companies are more important than the interests of the population
WSWS: Do you think artists have a critical role to play in society
ST: I think what happened with Guhn Twei in the last few months proves that artists do make a difference
otherwise they wouldn’t be trying to censor us
the important thing is that people express themselves on subjects that are important
or fear that there will be negative consequences for saying what they really think
WSWS: And why do you think many artists don’t talk about social issues in their art
ST: Precisely because the fear of doing so is justified
Big business is often a sponsor of culture
big mining companies fund all our festivals
you have a rational fear of being excluded from these festivals
And it’s perverted because it makes artists afraid to express themselves honestly on issues they care about
because the companies they might criticize fund culture
by funding events where these artists might perform
They don’t even need to make explicit threats
the Horne Foundry immediately denied that it was behind the censorship
And it’s highly likely that the foundry’s directors said nothing to get us removed from the festival
There has just been a culture of silence in the region for so long that they don’t need to say anything
we’ve received a number of comments from other cultural players saying
Of losing opportunities by doing this?” There’s nothing wrong with people saying that
it’s just normal for them to ask us those questions
So they [the companies] don’t have to do much
It underlines the fact that it’s not true that artists have nothing to say about social issues
in many cases according to what you tell us
but they don’t go there because they want to continue to evolve in this milieu
we don’t make a living from our art and we don’t intend to
But for someone who’s trying to make a living from his music
Are you going to deliberately get in the way and risk being barred or simply not invited to the various festivals sponsored by big business
to say they don’t dare talk about social issues
but we’re in a culture where big corporations like Glencore fund the arts

2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Falco Resources Ltd
(TSX.V:FPC) (“Falco” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide a corporate update on its flagship Horne 5 Project located in Rouyn-Noranda
Québec (the “Falco Horne 5 Project” or the “Project”)
Following the completion of the public hearing process with the Office of Public Hearings on the Environment (“BAPE”)
Falco continues to file documentation and provide responses to the BAPE
which is due for submission to the Minister of the Environment
with the continued strength in gold and copper
Falco will work towards updating the 2021 Feasibility Study
which utilized a gold price of US$1,600 and a copper price of US$3.25/lb
President and Chief Executive Officer commented: “2024 has been extraordinary for Falco
commencing early in the year with the execution of the Operating License and Indemnity Agreement (“OLIA”) with Glencore
followed in short order by the admissibility of the Project’s Environmental Impact Assessment which provided the path forward for the advancement of the Project
The Corporation expects to obtain a ministerial decree authorizing the Project in H1-2025
which would put Falco in the enviable position of having one of the few permitted large-scale polymetallic gold projects ready to be developed in North America.”
Falco has delineated a reserve of over 6.1M oz AuEq with an additional 3.2M oz AuEq in resource (all categories)
making it one of the largest gold resources in Québec not controlled by a producer
while benefiting from significant economic returns
does not capture the rapidly changing gold
The planned update for H1-2025 will provide a much clearer picture as to the full potential of the Project.”
