mind. This wasn't some new Explorer or Focus. Onto the stage rolled a supercar, a carbon-fiber GT powered by a mid-mounted six cylinder Ecoboost engine that churned out over 600 horsepower. It was a callback to the legendary Ford GT40 Mk IIs that stuck it to Ferrari and finished 1-2-3 at Le Mans in 1966. DeBord revisits the story of the 1960s, details the creation of the new GT, and follows the team through the racing season, from an inauspicious debut at Daytona where the cars kept breaking down, to glimmers of hope at Sebring, and the team's first victory at Laguna Seca in Monterey. Finally, DeBord joins the Ford team in Le Mans in June, 2016. This fabled 24-hour endurance race is designed to break cars and drivers, and it was at Le Mans, fifty years after the company's greatest triumph, that Ford's comeback was put to the ultimate test. 2017.By John Doorley, Fraser P Seitel. 2012

par un désir irrésistible de raconter mon histoire, pour dire au monde cette détresse et cette joie mêlées que procure la bipolarité. Voici donc un témoignage, le mien, qui se situe au plus intime de l'être, au plus près des pensées quand elles s'encombrent et deviennent folles. Voici un récit intime pour dire, du point de vue de la personne souffrante et bien vivante, combien la lutte vaut la peine, combien la route est belle. Aujourd'hui, j'ai envie de raconter ce qui se cache derrière ce "moi" qui me joue des tours. Qui suis-je quand je ne suis pas moi ? Cette question me hante depuis maintenant plus de quinze ans et j'ai décidé d'aller vers cette personne, avec vous. A. L. " -- 4e de couv.By Paul Ryan. 2012
Les fraudes fiscales ont maintes fois été au centre de l'actualité ces dernières années. On a qu'à penser aux scandales…
liés à la construction qui font la une des médias ou encore aux nouvelles mesures annoncées par le gouvernement pour contrer les fraudes dans l'industrie de la restauration. La grogne se fait entendre tant du côté des autorités fiscales que de celui des contribuables. Le gouvernement du Québec s'est rengagé en 2010, nouvelles ressources à l'appui, à récupérer des sommes record dans les poches des contribuables fautifs. Pendant ce temps, maints citoyens et entreprises se disent étouffés par les vérifications du fisc. Plusieurs affirment même que les gouvernements abusent de leurs vastes pouvoirs en matière fiscale et ratent trop souvent la cible. Qu'en est-il vraiment? 2012.
