“Every election is determined by the people who show up.” (Larry Sabato) So see you at the polls tomorrow, fellow Canadians! This has been one tough & stressful election. My plan is to follow my vote with a piece of sugar pie from St. Hubert tomorrow to sweeten the process.

Sick of false history

My little sister had told me that her American history teacher said to her class that Bloodhounds were bred specifically to hunt African Slaves in the Colonies of the New World. A quick look at any historical source will show that they are a special breed of hound bred by St. Hubert in Belgium specifically to hunt.....in 1000 AD. I don't know about all of you but I'm sick of false history being fed to everyone.

St Hubert is so popular a restaurant chain it sells products at the market.

Unknown Flemish master after Albrecht Dürer - Saint Eustace in a Landscape (c. 1505 - 1525)

Albrecht Dürer - Saint Eustace (c. 1501)

“Dürer's largest engraving depicts the moment of conversion of a Roman general named Placidus. While hunting, Placidus saw a crucifix miraculously appearing between a stag's antlers. The stag spoke in Christ's voice, and Placidus fell from his horse and became a Christian baptized with the name Eustace. The print has long been admired as an exemplar of Dürer's extraordinary virtuosity; the animals and features of the landscape served as models for artists for the following century.” - The Met

Montreal, 1960's, Rue St. Hubert.  A poor ol' Corvair is in the centre.  The much maligned car was the subject of Ralph Nader's "Unsafe at Any Speed".  I hope the unbuckled baby in the back seat is living a long and happy life.
