Theme 11: Newsprint

My eye was captured this week by pictures of famous Montréal and Québec City sites, side by side in the local newspaper, “Le Soleil” (The Sun). The headline above the pictures, included on my page, is “Eternal Rivals.”
The article posited that rivalry of the healthy kind is good. It’s usually the smaller city which keeps the rivalry going, declares "Le Soleil"; the larger one “s’en fout” (doesn’t even pay attention to it). The Media: Radio, television, and newspapers, all contribute to keeping the rivalry going.
Le Soleil quotes a Laval University (Québec City) professor as saying, “To use a larger city as a reference point can make life more stimulating and more exciting.”
