Montreal is a city animated by a lingering cosmopolitan phantasmagoria, especially its two ‘man-made’ islands, Île Sainte-Hélène and Île Notre-Dame. Built to host Expo 67, a colossal World’s fair resting on dredged soil and urban debris, they became the experimental landscape and socio-technical matrix of the future megacity Montreal dreamt of being. This event crystallized the city’s image as the avant-garde “capital of the megastructure,” a concept which redefined (urban) spaces as dynamic relationships between people, technology, and dwellings, “coded [...] by notions of process” akin to those of the organism (Riar 2020, 200). Thirteen years later, the Floralies Internationales de Montreal was held in the wake of “Man and his World,” the fair’s permanent exhibition on Île Notre-Dame. The 8th International Horticultural Exhibition invited citizens to admire “the world’s most beautiful botanical garden” representing the cultures of twelve nations, including Canada. [...] The organizers viewed the gardens as “soft technologies,” designed to beautify the city while benefiting its economic and cultural sectors. [...]

[Gardens] offer “profound insights [...].” They are “sites where people explicitly stage [...] their relationships with nature” [...]. Gardens not only inform what [...] dwellers find valuable and good, they organize the political and economic relations urban centers cultivate - or not - with their peripheral others -- rural lands, ‘nonhuman’ life and ‘nonlife’. Botanical gardens, such as the Floralies [...] are not merely displays of state power and scientific knowledge, but technologies [...] that operate by transplanting alien ecological - so-called rural - habitats into the hybrid spaces of a metropolis.

And while we could frame this dynamic within urban/rural or center/periphery binaries, I contend that what made the Canadian garden a garden in 1980 was precisely its relationship to what lies far beyond the theoretical scope of such binaries - that which eludes rigid biological and geographical inscriptions: wetlands. What follows is a meditation about murky and precarious dwellings. And about binaries, and the relentless oscillations that govern places of belonging. It is an invitation to consider urban and rural geographies and all that lies beneath and beyond their preference for the living.

And it is the story of a northern peat bog that was “transplanted” to Île Notre-Dame in 1979.

“A little bit of James Bay in Montreal”

It took a fleet of trucks fifty 36-hour trips to haul half an acre of James Bay to Montreal. That “little bit” of Northern Quebec was more precisely 1300 frozen blocks of peat taken from the Hélène Lake bog, near the construction site of the LG2 hydroelectric project. [...] The blocks [...] were then reassembled [in Montreal] [...]. To ensure that the Notre-Dame peat bog bloomed in time for the Floralies, a year later, gardeners carefully monitored water and acidity levels [...]. The garden's “spongy consistency,” created by a combination of sphagnum mosses, tamarack, black spruce, hairy honeysuckle, round-leaved sundew, and Labrador tea, amongst 50 northern species, could be admired for the first time in Montreal’s temperate climate, a stark contrast to the hydrogeoclimatic conditions of James bay, 1500 km away [...]. In 1980, thirteen years after Expo 67, the bog was fully integrated as yet another dynamic process in the city’s “organic” megastructure.

Why did the chief horticulturist of the Montreal Botanical Garden choose to represent the “nation” with a northern peat bog?

Because Canada was, and still is, home to a quarter of the world's wetlands, which had already been massively drained for agriculture and urban sprawl. The garden's purpose was to bring the ecological benefits of these threatened ecosystems to an emerging environmental awareness.

Montreal, which used to be completely surrounded by “swamps and boggy places” [...] considered unsanitary in the 19th century, destroyed much of the riparian wetlands in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, eliminating 80% of its marshes [...]. The stinging irony is that manufacturing the islands for Expo 67 “was one of the single most damaging projects” for the surrounding wetlands (ibid.). So how could they be celebrated as part of a national heritage? [...]

“Canada is the wetlands settler country par excellence”  (Giblett 2014, 11), as, much like Montreal, most of its early settlements were built alongside marshes. Its colonial literature has long portrayed these places as murky, monstrous, and ominous.

In the dominant cultural paradigm, marshes were seen as wastelands, which licensed industries to dump toxic waste in their waters or to drain them (35). Seen as dead and inauspicious lands, swamps, marshes, and bogs posed a threat to colonial powers, while being particularly difficult to map, as water and land were inextricably linked. Peat bogs especially are dense and viscous worlds where mosses thrive on top of their own decaying shroud, a process reaching back into the Carboniferous era “when swamps ruled the earth” (203).

---

This story of a garden made of moss not only reveals how Montreal discredited the way the Cree community valued and used wetlands, but offers insight into the colonial governance of Canada and Quebec. [...]

Ultimately, representing peat bogs as “barren lands” speaks to the political figuration of all that is not urban, or, in Giorgio Agamben’s words, as bare life, which, in Western politics, “has the peculiar privilege of being that whose exclusion founds the city of men,” ordered by the “good life” (Agamben 1998, 7). To be preserved, the elusive and ominous peat bog had to be transplanted to the city, where it could be a tamed vehicle [...].

Rethinking geographies beyond anthropocentric [...] views of what defines urbanities and ruralities, might allow us to better understand the constitutive exclusions that created this binary in the first place. In Canada, both urban centers and rural regions have been constituted through the destruction of wetlands. This was repeated in the 1980s, when, just two years after the Floralies championed the city’s green turn, the Notre-Dame peat bog was abandoned. Today, if you were to go there, you would find a dried-out pond, where meridional species have reclaimed their rights.

But perhaps its disappearance from the city's landscape is a sign that wetlands remain unsettled and unsettling.

Once

I have done many things in my lifetime and like most people when I find something that I enjoy doing I will do it more again. Like eating hamburgers. I love eating hamburgers so I have been fortunate enough to repeat this activity several thousand times in my life. For the record I have no regrets.

There have been (however) times upon occasion that I have tried something new and it turned out to be a one time thing. This has been for many reasons, sometimes outside of my control. If you are young and reading this (Why?) learn from my experience. If you are old and reading this either you have also tried some of these and stopped or you were smart enough never to consider doing it in the first place. I envy your fortitude.

Walk with me down memory lane and learn.

Skiing. We had to do this for P.E. class. Besides my lips flapping uncontrollably as I hurtled down the hillside I came to the realization that this accomplished the same thing as tobogganing in that it got me from the top of the hill to the bottom very fast. At least on a toboggan it wasn't far to fall when you wipe out.

Curling. I liked this. I found that when I used all of my strength the rock would go shooting out of my hand and when it hit the little rubber things you start your feet in at the other end the rocks launched majestically into the air. They asked me to never come back again.

Riding a loop-de-loop roller coaster. When it finally stopped I was so disoriented that I attempted to ride a horse from the merry-go-round home. I didn't seem to get anywhere.

I ran a 10K race. I am as shocked as you are but there I was seemingly in the peak of my physical prowess. When the race was over I threw up food I had never eaten.

Went to Mexico. Aside from the fact that they lost our luggage, we saw sea snakes that kept us out of the ocean and two men tried to pick me up at a swim up bar (not that there is anything wrong with that) it was an ok time but that was before all of the kidnappings, murders and other mayhem that is happening now.

Smoked weed. I distinctly remember this. I inhaled June 17th 1973 and exhaled August 22 1975. The rest is kind of fuzzy, but I swear I only tried that one puff.

Traveled by train with family to the east coast. I had the upper bunk and knocked myself silly every time I tried to sit up. I was standing when the train made a sharp turn putting me butt first into the corner of a table, and all cars were smoking cars back then. No wonder Agatha Christie set a murder on a train. I was ready to kill somebody on my sole trip.

Drank warm Guinness. Let me set the table for this one. I was sixteen and we were visiting family in England. The pubs didn't care about ID as long as you paid. A PINT (22 ounces) of Guinness sold for 4 pence which was 10 cents Canadian. I spent a dollar (you can do the math on how many ounces that was) and it was served at room temperature. Everything else that happened that night I blame on the greasy peanuts I ate.

Had gas in front of a Bishop. I was twelve and an altar boy. He was visiting for the 11:30 mass. I had beans and eggs for breakfast at 8:00am (not smart now that I reflect on this) and, well that was that. I believe I did set a record for the youngest person ever excommunicated from the Catholic church.

Got lost in Montreal at Expo 67. Was it my fault that none of the people there spoke English? On the upside I did eat a whale steak and a buffalo steak, both also one time things so I hit the trifecta.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: Life is to be experienced and that is great as long as you learn from each experience.

Marcano Trillo, "Dumbo" Fernández, "Conejo" Fonseca y Oscar García serán exaltados el 28 de abril Ya hay fecha para que el Salón de la Fama del Beisbol zuliano inmortalice la Clase 2023, que conforman Jesús Marcano Trillo, Enrique "Conejo" Fonseca, Ramón "Dumbo" Fernández y Óscar García "Ventarrón", cuarteto de figuras que brillaron en la pelota regional y fuera del país, y que serán honrados el próximo 28 de abril, víspera del cumpleaños 90 de Luis Aparicio Montiel. Estoé “póquer” de grandes de la historia de la pelota zuliana fueron elegidos por un Comité especial conformado por 20 expertos, que emitieron su voto a la directiva del Salón de la Fama. “Ante la importancia de la fecha del cumpleaños número 90 de Luis Aparicio Montiel, el lunes 29 de abril, decidimos organizar nuestra ceremonia el domingo 28 para unirnos a esta gran celebración; porque Luis Aparicio Montiel, además de ser miembro del Salón de la Fama en Cooperstown y del Salón de la Fama del Beisbol venezolano, es parte de los primeros exaltados al templo de los inmortales de la pelota del Zulia”, indicó Giamberto Urdaneta, presidente del Salón de la Fama del Beisbol zuliano. “Es importante destacar que en nuestro acto solemne también le haremos honores a Luis Aparicio por su cumpleaños y a Víctor Davalillo, quien el pasado mes de diciembre falleció, y al ser el pelotero con unos números impresionantes, de los mejores en toda la historia del beisbol de Venezuela; no podemos pasar por el alto esta oportunidad para honrarlo también”, indicó vía telefónica Urdaneta. Clase 2023 Es bueno considerar que para poder ingresar al "cielo del béisbol zuliano" el postulado debe lograr acumular, como mínimo, el 75 por ciento de las preferencias de los votantes. En estas elecciones Enrique “Conejo” Fonseca fue el más votado, porque este "Héroes del 41" recibió el 88.41 por ciento de los votos, mientras que su compañero en aquel equipo campeón mundial, Ramón "Dumbo" Fernández, el ex grandeliga y ex aguilucho Many Trillo y el comentarista Oscar García, estuvieron presentes en el 78.94 por ciento de las papeletas. También se debe destacar que terminó muy cerca de hacer historia doña Lilia Silva de Machado, fundadora, junto a su familia, del equipo Águilas del Zulia, al terminar con 73,3%; a la espera de ver si en próximas votaciones puede superar el ya mencionado 75% de los votos. A finales del año pasado, tras conocerse el total de la votación, el presidente de la institución declaró: "Nos sentimos muy contentos por esta selección. Sabemos que estamos en deuda con la historia, porque aún hay fuera muchas leyendas que deberían estar en el Salón de la Fama, pero es que el hecho de que en el Zulia existan tantas estrellas históricas hace que este proceso sea más largo de lo que muchos queremos. Pero cada año que pasa le vamos pagando a la historia y eso nos complace mucho". Estos son los exaltados El grandeliga Jesús Marcano Trillo “El Indio”, jugó siete años con las Águilas del Zulia y perteneció, por más de 20 campañas, al plantel técnico del conjunto zuliano. Con el equipo rapaz fue campeón en cinco campañas de la LVBP, como jugador y como coach; incluyendo dos Series del Caribe. En las Grandes Ligas jugó como segunda base para los Atléticos de Oakland (1973-74), los Cachorros de Chicago (1975-78, 1986-88), los Filis de Filadelfia (1979-82, con quienes ganó una Serie Mundial), los Indios de Cleveland (1983), los Expos de Montreal (1983), los Gigantes de San Francisco (1984-85) y finalmente para los Rojos de Cincinnati (1989). Ganó tres Guantes de oro y fue a cuatro Juegos de estrellas. Los Filis, por cierto, ya exaltaron a Many Trillo en el salón de la fama del equipo cuaquero. Enrique “Conejo” Fonseca fue un destacado pelotero, el último de los “Héroe del 41”, puesto que falleció en 2021, tras cumplir 103 años. Este derecho nació el 18 de septiembre de 1918, en Maracaibo, estado Zulia. Después de formar parte de aquella selección venezolana del 41, en la que fue uno de receptores de la selección, desarrolló una larga carrera como deportista aficionado.

Tuvo su anhelado debut en el béisbol profesional a los 28 años, en la temporada de 1946, la primera de la Liga Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional (LVBP). En ese circuito jugó para el Cervecería Caracas durante seis temporadas, de 1946 a 1950-1951. Se tomó un año sabático en la 1951-1952, para retirarse a los 34 años con el otro equipo de la capital, los Leones del Caracas, en la campaña 1952-1953. Ramón "Dumbo" Fernández fue un destacado serpentinero y también fue protagonista de los aclamados "Héroes del 41" y de los torneos domésticos de Maracaibo. En la LVBP brilló con los Leones del Caracas, teniendo la alta cifra para entonces de 7 victorias en dos campañas diferentes. También lanzó para el Magallanes y los Sabios de Vargas. Ramón Fernández igualmente jugó, de manera destacada, en los circuitos del Caribe de la República Dominicana y Puerto Rico, siendo un destacado lanzador en ambos países. Oscar García, el popular "Ventarrón" (se ganó ese remoquete por la velocidad que tenía, en su juventud, cuando participaba en pruebas de atletismo), fue parte del circuito radial de las Águilas del Zulia desde el nacimiento del equipo, junto a don Arturo Celestino Álvarez, entre otros. Cómo comentarista y voz comercial vivió y contó los grandes momentos de las Águilas en las primera tres décadas del conjunto, sobre todo, de aquel primer título rapaz en la pelota venezolana, en la campaña 1983-1984, que también se convirtió en el primer campeonato en la Serie del Caribe para las Águilas. Ya todo está listo para que las placas de estos cuatro personajes del beisbol zuliano reposen junto a la de los ya inmortalizados de la pelota del Zulia.

El señor Santiago Mejía, el fanático más longevo que tenía el equipo de las Águilas Cibaeñas y padre de varios jugadores de béisbol, falleció este lunes a la edad de 103 años, en su residencia del ensanche Bolívar.

Mejía era un asiduo visitante al estadio Cibao, desde el primer día de prácticas de las Águilas Cibaeñas.

Incluso, en enero del pasado año el equipo le hizo un reconocimiento como el seguidor más longevo del equipo y lo invitó a tirar la primera bola.

Santiago Mejía es el padre de Samuel, Bolívar y Marcos, quienes abrazaron el béisbol y tío de Simeón, quien también jugó con éxito este deporte antes de dedicarse al softbol.

El cadáver de Santiago Mejía está siendo velado en la Funeraria Inavi, frente a la Arena del Cibao y cerca del estadio Cibao, donde residía y será sepultado este martes a las 10: de la mañana.

Su hijo Samuel Mejía, fue el dominicano número 44 en jugar en Grandes, donde vistió los uniformes de los Cardenales de San Luis, Expos de Montreal, Cachorros de Chicago y Rojos de Cincinnati, desde el 1976 al 1981.

Samuel También dirigió por una década en ligas menores de los Estados Unidos.

En el béisbol dominicano jugó para los Leones del Escogido, Tigres del Licey y Águilas Cibaeñas.

Su otro hermano, Bolívar también fue firmado para el béisbol organizado, llegando a ser coach de primera con los Piratas del Atlántico en la Liga de Verano del Cibao, cuando el manager era Víctor Ramírez.

Luego Bolívar puso un centro cervecero, que es de los más concurridos y famosos que tiene Santiago.

Mientras que Marcos sobresalió más en el béisbol amateur de Santiago.

Don Santiago Mejía era un hombre muy querido en Santiago y las personas lo buscaban en el estadio Cibao para tomarse fotos, ya que era el fanático más longevo del equipo.

Antonio Figueroa présente Canciones de mi abuelito

No me canso de este irresistible disco del tenor de Montreal Antonio Figueroa y la Familia Figueroa (la banda familiar). Le dan vida a las canciones populares mexicanas con un sonido de mariachi que sólo puede llamarse orquestal. El abuelo de Figueroa probó Canadá por primera vez cuando viajó a Montreal desde México para actuar en el Pabellón de México durante la Expo 67. Le gustó tanto que unos años más tarde regresó, con 11 niños a cuestas. El Mariachi se convirtió en el negocio familiar. "Este disco es una historia familiar; la historia de una familia de inmigrantes mexicanos que se integraron a su sociedad compartiendo cordialmente la cultura de su hogar original", dice Figueroa. También es un homenaje al abuelo de Figueroa: el disco se llama Canciones de mi abuelito.

The Kingdom Choir Return With New Single & US Tour Dates

Offering love, hope and inspiration, The Kingdom Choir today make a timely return with their brand-new single “Not Giving Up”. Founded in 1994 by Karen Gibson MBE (the Godmother of Gospel), The Kingdom Choir have continued to win hearts since their unforgettable performance at the 2018 Royal Wedding in front of a global televised audience of 2 billion people. Listen to “Not Giving Up” HERE. Offering a ray of hope amongst the darkness, “Not Giving Up” is instantly affecting as Wayne Ellington’s rich, baritone exalts the power that comes with believing that better times are waiting ahead of us. While his voice alone would make for a captivating, emotional experience, the harmonies from the rest of The Kingdom Choir take it to a whole new level with their grace, majesty and sheer expressiveness able to move anyone.  “Not Giving Up” was written by Alex Hart, Greg Dwight, Karen Gibson, Wilson Atie, Jonathan Owusu-Yianomah and produced by Alex Hart and Jonathan Owusu-Yianomah. The Kingdom Choir commented, “In our changing world, this is the song that rises from our hearts. It speaks of freedom and a determination to press on, a reminder that hope takes us through the broken moments of life onto a brighter day.” “Not Giving Up” is also a reflection of The Kingdom Choir’s own journey. Karen Gibson had led the choir for over two decades before their breakthrough moment in the spotlight, during which time the group – spread across London and from various Christian traditions – became renowned for their shared talents, collective spirit, and instantly uplifting performances. The Kingdom Choir’s performances have remained in global demand ever since their performance at the Royal Wedding, with highlights including the Invictus Games, ITV’s Concert for Ukraine, Prince Albert II of Monaco’s 2021 gala, Expo 2020 and a headline show at the Hollywood Bowl. They have been sought out as collaborators by artists such as Gladys Knight, Gregory Porter, Emelie Sandé, and Madness, as well as for brand collaborations which have included Cartier, Ralph Lauren, Coca-Cola, Burberry, British Airways, and Marks & Spencer. The Kingdom Choir ended 2022 by performing as special guests at Trevor Nelson’s Soul Christmas extravaganza at the Royal Albert Hall alongside the likes of Corinne Bailey-Rae and Andrew Roachford.
