So, I've been thinking about what I'll say during the first neuroqueer meeting next weekend.

I'm not sure how much I'm going to say about her, but I have to say that I am indebted to Janette Bertrand for my approach.

If you remember, (you probably do not), I wrote an article about her a while back. I'm going to link it below.

When I wrote my article she was 98. I went back to check, expecting that I'd learn about her death.

She's alive and 101 now. One hundred and one!!!! Wow!

Her shows on TV when I was growing up in the 80th and the early 90s in Québec left a lasting impression on me. I don't know how much I'm going to talk about her because... well... nobody knows her around here. (For those who don't know, I'm in the US.)

I invite you to read my article about her:

Voici la traduction de mon article sur Janette Bertrand. Elle savait écouter les gens que la société rejetait.

Seeing as today is #Canada Day, I have a special feature about a special Canadian lady, Janette Bertrand. She knew how to listen to those that society had cast aside.
