    <p class="al-wia__eyebrow">An agnostic and objective introduction</p>
 
    <p><strong>Agile is a set of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbXfInY9MYo">4 values and 12 principles</a>.</strong> They give people, teams and organizations a solid foundation for making better decisions — decisions that lead to better software development, as well as any other product or service, centered on a high-quality customer experience.</p>
 
    <p>Through the application of these values, agility also delivers a better world of work: satisfied stakeholders and an enriched employee experience.</p>
 
    <p>Agile is <strong>NO</strong> Methodology nor Framework. It is an agnostic and empirical posture — an invitation to experiment, learn and adapt these values to the real context of your team and your organization, rather than a single model, imposed and overcomplicated.</p>

      <p><span class="al-wia__entry-lead">"Agile Testing"</span> – Read <a href="http://www.exampler.com/old-blog/2003/08/22/#agile-testing-project-2">Brian Marick's original</a> post here, and <a href="https://lisacrispin.com/2011/11/08/using-the-agile-testing-quadrants/">Lisa Crispin's awesome refresher here</a>. I put 'Agile Testing' in quotes because testing is a <em>team sport</em>. Don't use this as a way to make your testers <em>agiler,</em> that's just dumb! Literally. Oh, and <em>Grammarly</em> said, yes to using 'agiler' instead of 'more agile'.</p>

  <!-- ===================== SECTION THREE : THINKERS ===================== -->
  <h3 class="al-wia__section-title"><span class="rule"></span>Section Three: The Thinkers &amp; Sparkers</h3>
 
  <div class="al-wia__entry">
    <div class="al-wia__num">7</div>
    <div class="al-wia__entry-body">
      <p><span class="al-wia__entry-lead">Read everything by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Weinberg">Jerry Weinberg</a>.</span> Who sadly, just passed away on August 7th, 2018.<br>
      Well, that might take a lifetime, so start with these. Just about everyone who's considered to be an 'agile thinker' (whatever that means) has been influenced by Jerry in one way or another. It does for me, on top of Mike Beedle and Steve Denning. Will talk more about them after you've tried some sprints with a certain satisfaction!</p>
    </div>
  </div>
 
  <div class="al-wia__meta">
    <p><strong>Honorable Mention:</strong> Look up the <a href="http://agilemanifesto.org/authors.html"><strong>Manifesto authors</strong></a> in your spare time. These guys compromise in 2001 to make us move onward in togetherness!</p>
  </div>
 
  <!-- ===================== WHY ===================== -->
  <h3 class="al-wia__section-title"><span class="rule"></span>Why Write This and share it with my <em>trainee, coachee</em>, and clients?</h3>
 
  <p>More and more people are getting introduced to agile in big corporate settings via big frameworks and have no idea what the history of agile is and that what hit them is only based on flavored "opinion" by some con artist…</p>
 
  <p>As your coach, I want you to have the facts and more over the best experience for you and for you to provide the best to your clients and users.</p>
 
  <p class="al-wia__callout">To enhance the human experience!</p>
 
  <p>Also, instead of talking about me in my experience as your new coach, I just reassured you of my path that, I went through those <strong>7 things</strong> on this list and they are foundational in nature, table stakes if you will<em>. If someone hasn't heard of them, you sure as hell shouldn't be coaching a team or organization on Agile</em>. I do and I can.</p>
 
  <p>There's certainly nothing wrong with the glut of <em>methods/tools/processes/frameworks</em> that have been invented since 2001, albeit those are not the places to look first.</p>
 
  <p>Most of us <em>old dogs</em> moved on from agile years ago, but now that the rest of the business world is catching up, we've had to make <em>Agile modern</em>, take <em>Agile back</em>, and <em>Rise Up against the evil corporations</em> who seek only to <strong>monetize Agile,</strong> or use Agile to beat their teams into submission. I am here, with you and with a passion to prevent this to happen to you, if you wish to innovate!</p>
 
  <p>So voilà! Hope you'd enjoy this introduction. I won't write any other LONG email I will go back to <em>my agile principles of meeting you face to face.</em></p>
 
  <p>Although, you're free to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/afjoly">follow me on LinkedIn</a> and my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AgileLounge">Podcast</a> to read, watch everything I share, and contribute to the community as an extension to your agile adoption.</p>
 
  <!-- ===================== POINT 8 ===================== -->
  <h3 class="al-wia__section-title"><span class="rule"></span>8) Continuous discoveries of new ways</h3>
 
  <p>… <strong>Indeed, continuous discoveries of new ways</strong>, of learning, are always on the move from now to new, improving, we hope for the better and making us wiser.<br>
  Stay tuned for 8 more things, advance, early adopters, disruptors, and innovators, we have in store for you with Business Agility, Conscious Leadership, a Decentralized path, and more.</p>

									<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>COMMUNIQUÉ <br />POUR DIFFUSION IMMEDIATE<br /><br /></strong></span></p><p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>Pourquoi ça s’appelle L’Agile Lounge?</strong></p><p class=""><em>L’histoire des origines — D’un Daily Standup du vendredi à une décennie d’agilité d’affaires<br /><br /><strong>Célébrons DIX ans d’Excellence et d’Innovation.<br /><br /></strong></em>J’aime tout de la culture Lounge. La musique, l’espace, le style, l’époque du café jazzy lounge, le rétrofuturisme et cette détente que ça apporte à une équipe.</p><p class="">Scrum Master depuis 1999, évoluant dans l’art de satisfaire les équipes et les clients, j’ai un jour transformé un Daily Standup du vendredi en un rassemblement Daily Lounge de l’équipe. Là où je travaillais à cette époque, l’endroit avait ces incroyables salles fermées avec des divans et des sofas.</p><p class="">J’ai décidé d’en réserver une pour chaque Daily « Stand-up » du vendredi en surprenant mon équipe : c’est vendredi, on relaxe et on parle de comment on avance dans le sprint, mais aussi de votre vie en général, de la livraison, de tout ce que vous avez appris cette semaine, et s’il y a quoi que ce soit qui vous empêche d’atteindre votre objectif ou la mission de l’équipe.</p><p class="">Les membres de l’équipe ont commencé à apporter du café et des collations à partager avec les autres. On finissait par faire notre Daily régulier de 8 à 13 minutes et on prolongeait en parlant du business, des nouvelles TI, c’est qui le nouveau build master à qui je vais devoir botter le derrière, etc. Jusqu’à 45 minutes de Friday Lounge. Parfois on célébrait une découverte ou un nouveau processus, parfois c’était une pré-rétro ou même un pré-planning et capacité. Parfois juste un moment chill d’introspection et de storytelling sur ce qu’ils voulaient faire ensuite.</p><p class="">L’équipe a commencé à appeler ça le « Coach AF Scrum Lounge » — ainsi est née, il y a environ 16 ans, l’idée de l’<strong>Agile Lounge®</strong>.</p><p class="">Dans un espace de coworking à Punta Nizuc au printemps 2016, j’ai commencé un plan d’affaires pour offrir des ateliers d’agilité d’affaires et de Scrum, non seulement à des clients avec des mandats spécifiques, mais aussi à quiconque <br /><br />voudrait découvrir ce qu’est l’Agile, ce qu’est le Lean, et tout ce qui entoure le nouveau monde du travail qui émerge depuis, dans mon cas, 2006.</p><p class=""> <br />Alors que je bâtissais les fondations de ces nouveaux ateliers exclusifs et innovants avec un livrable tangible pour le client, un collègue d’un de mes clients new-yorkais m’a montré un espace de coworking à Bryant Park, dans les Bryant Park Studios fraîchement rénovés, où on pouvait louer un espace juste pour de la formation ou pour rencontrer des clients sur demande. J’étais impressionné par le projet. Pendant ce temps, à Montréal, une amie barista ouvrait son café et studio photo à Saint-Henri et cherchait un partenaire pour embarquer dans l’aventure d’un café-studio-coworking multifonctionnel. J’étais enthousiaste à l’idée d’avoir l’Agile Lounge dans cet espace, où les gens pourraient venir chercher des conseils en agilité d’affaires et en Scrum tout en savourant un parfait café. L’atmosphère de l’endroit était artsy et lounge, tout comme l’espace de coworking aménagé dans la mezzanine du vieil édifice Beaux-Arts surplombant Bryant Park depuis la 80e Rue.</p><p class="">Le financement nécessaire pour m’associer avec la barista et la photographe était bien trop élevé à l’époque, et selon mon conseiller d’affaires et mentor, une aventure trop risquée si je finissais comme le seul cerveau gauche-droit avec deux artistes (sans offense aux cerveaux droits seuls) pour que ça tienne à long terme. Croyez-moi, j’ai eu plusieurs entreprises liées aux événements, au divertissement, et j’ai travaillé avec beaucoup d’artistes extraordinaires par le passé, et malgré tout le soin qu’un gars comme moi met à faire fonctionner les choses, tu peux t’épuiser quand les autres s’en foutent. Je ne voulais pas ça.</p><p class="">Les semaines ont passé. Automne 2016, lors d’une marche dans le Vieux-Montréal avec une super collègue, elle m’a amené dans ce nouveau café sur Saint-Jacques : The Crew. Un endroit secret caché dans l’ancienne succursale principale de la Banque Royale. Prendre un café dans cet endroit stupéfiant m’a rappelé la bibliothèque de Gotham City dans le Tim Burton où le Joker rencontre Kim Basinger, et j’ai dit : « C’est ça. » C’est ici, la place Agile Lounge à Montréal! En parlant avec Alex au comptoir, alors qu’il nous expliquait que le vrai projet était un hub de coworking et d’entrepreneurs, j’ai sauté sur l’occasion de devenir membre coworker. Ainsi, j’ai donné mon premier atelier Scrum avec des clients cet automne 2016, rencontrant aussi des prospects, offrant du coaching 1:1 et des conseils Agile, avec un café frais et magnifiquement torréfié! Exactement comme j’en avais rêvé à Cancún. En 2017, j’ai pu sécuriser ma place aux Bryant Park Studios et faire <br /><br />de même avec ma clientèle new-yorkaise. Peu après, à l’automne 2017, je faisais la même chose au IQ Space, un espace de coworking à Toronto, dans une ancienne banque CIBC.</p><p class=""> </p><p class="">Peu de gens se souviennent que le Scrum Beer #1 s’est tenu au Crew en novembre 2017 avec 4 Origines qui présentaient leurs bières. Réseauteur comme je suis, le Scrum Beer #2 — plus officiel et avec un Meetup — s’est tenu en janvier 2018 à la Brasserie.</p><p class="">Voilà! Je voulais vous raconter cette histoire de l’Agile Lounge parce que vous êtes nombreux à me poser la question dans vos courriels. Alors je me suis dit, puisque j’écris mon livre — titre de projet <em>Next Level Agility</em> — que je répondrais à mes précieux abonnés de cette liste de valeur, incluant tous ceux qui me demandent l’origine du nom Agile Lounge et l’origine de ma marque.</p><p class="">Je suis dans ma 10e année d’Agile Lounge ainsi que coworker au Crew. Je sens que nous entrons dans une Renaissance, malgré toute la noirceur que le monde nous montre. Comme vous pouvez l’apprécier dans la bannière de ce courriel, une photo de moi à Tulum, juste à côté de mon 4e espace de coworking appelé le Digital Jungle — si vous suivez votre cœur, si vous tenez suffisamment à ce que vous voulez faire et à qui vous voulez être, seuls vous-même et vos pensées peuvent être vos limites. Ne blâmez pas le système ou les autres trop vite. Tout commence par le SOIN. Le <strong>CARE</strong>.</p><p class="">Tenez-vous suffisamment à y réfléchir, et de vos idées et rêves, tenez-vous suffisamment à les transformer en action? Ce n’est pas toujours facile, mais quand vous connaissez les principes, vous pouvez déclencher l’activation, plus sagement. C’est, d’une certaine façon, la meilleure vraie agilité personnelle pure et authentique que vous puissiez avoir.</p><p class=""><strong>Frédéric Joly</strong></p><p class="">Président Fondateur, Conseiller Principal et Enterprise Scrum Master</p><p class=""><strong>Agile Lounge® par AF J Solutions Inc.</strong></p><hr /><p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><a href="https://agile-lounge.com/contact-agile-lounge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Contact média</strong></a></p><hr /><p class="" style="text-align: center;" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="color: #ff9300;"><strong>CÉLÉBREZ AVEC NOUS</strong></span></p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong>DIX — 10e anniversaire de l’Agile Lounge</strong></p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><em>Une décennie d’agilité d’affaires, de communauté et d’excellence exclusive!</em></p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong>DATE Mardi</strong> 14 avril 2026 — Dès 17 h HE</p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong><strong>LIEU Crew</strong> Collective, Vieux-Montréal</p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong>ADMISSION Gratuit</strong> — Un don de 10 $ est le bienvenu.

									<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>PRESS RELEASE</strong></p><p class="">Montréal, QC — March 26, 2026</p><p class=""><strong>Why Is It Called Agile Lounge?</strong></p><p class=""><em>The Origin Story — From a Friday Standup to a Decade of Business Agility<br /><br /><strong>Celebrating TEN years of excellence and Innovation.</strong></em></p><p class="mcePastedContent"> </p><p class="">I love everything about the Lounge culture. The music, the space, the fashion, the era of the jazzy lounge café, the retrofuturism, and the chillness it brings to a team.</p><p class="">Being a Scrum Master since 1999, evolving in the art of pleasing teams and customers, I once transformed a Friday Daily Standup into a Daily Lounge gathering of the team. Where I was working during that period, the place had these amazing closed rooms with couches and sofas.</p><p class="">I decided to book one for every Friday Daily “Stand-up” as I surprised my team by telling them: it’s Friday, let’s chill and let’s talk about how we are doing in the sprint, but also your life in general, about the delivery, about anything you learned this week, and if there’s anything that stops you from achieving your goal or the team mission.</p><p class="">Team members started bringing coffee and some snacks to share with others. We ended up doing our regular 8-to-13-minute Daily and prolonged it talking about the business, IT news, who’s the new build master I will have to kick his ass, etc. So up to 45 minutes of Friday Lounge. Sometimes we celebrated a discovery or a new process, sometimes it was a pre-retro or even a pre-planning and capacity. Sometimes just a chill moment of introspection and storytelling of what they wanted to do next.</p><p class="">The team started calling this “Coach AF Scrum Lounge” — thus was born, some 16 years ago, the idea of the <strong>Agile Lounge®</strong>.</p><p class="">In a coworking space in Punta Nizuc in the spring of 2016, I started a business plan to offer business agility and Scrum workshops, not only to clients with specific mandates, but also to anyone who would like to get to know what is Agile, what is <br /><br /><br />Lean, and everything about the new world of work that has been emerging since, in my case, 2006.</p><p class=""><br />As I was building the foundation of these new exclusive and innovative workshops with a tangible outcome for the client, a colleague from one of my New York clients showed me a coworking spot in Bryant Park, in the revamped Bryant Park Studios, where we could rent space just for training or to go meet and greet clients on demand. I was amazed by the project. Meanwhile, in Montreal, a barista friend of mine was opening her café and photo studio in Saint-Henri and was looking for a partner to come along on the adventure of a cross-functional café-studio-coworking. I was enthusiastic about having the Agile Lounge in that space, where people could come and have business agility and Scrum advice while having a perfect cup of coffee. The place’s atmosphere was artsy and lounge, much like the coworking space built in the mezzanine of the old Beaux-Arts Building overlooking Bryant Park from 80th Street.</p><p class="">The funding needed to associate myself with the barista and the photographer was way too high at the time, and according to my business advisor and mentor, too risky an adventure if I ended up the only left-right brain with two artsy people (no offense to right-brainers alone) in making it work long-term. Trust me, I had several businesses related to events, entertainment, and dealt with a lot of amazing artists in the past, and despite the care that a guy like me put into making it work, you could burn yourself out when they don’t care. I didn’t want that.</p><p class="">Weeks passed. Fall of 2016, during an Old Montreal walk with a great colleague, she brought me into this new café on Saint-Jacques: The Crew. Hidden secret place in the once main branch of the Royal Bank building. While having a coffee in this astonishing place reminded me of the Tim Burton Gotham City library where the Joker meets Kim Basinger, I said: “That’s it.” That is the Agile Lounge place in Montréal! Talking with Alex at the counter, as he explained to us that the real project was a coworking and entrepreneur hub, I jumped on the opportunity to become a coworking member. Thus, I did my first Scrum Workshop with clients that fall of 2016, also meeting prospects, giving 1:1 coaching and Agile advice, with awesome fresh well-roasted coffee! Exactly as I dreamed it back in Cancún. I was able in 2017 to secure my spot at the Bryant Park Studios and do the same with my NYC clientele. Soon, fall of 2017, I was also doing it at the IQ Space, a coworking spot in Toronto, in an old CIBC bank.</p><p class=""><br />Few remember that Scrum Beer #1 was held at the Crew in November 2017 with 4 Origines showcasing their beers. Networker as I am, Scrum Beer #2 — more official and with a Meetup — was held in January 2018 at the Brewery.<br />Voilà! I wanted to give you that tale from the Agile Lounge because many of you have been asking me this in emails. So I thought, as I am writing my book — project title <em>Next Level Agility</em> — that I would answer my valuable subscribers of this valued list, including those many asking about the Agile Lounge name origin and the origin of my brand.</p><p class="">I am in my 10th year of Agile Lounge as well as a coworker at Crew. I feel that we are entering a Renaissance, despite all the darkness that the world is showing us. As you can appreciate in this email banner, a picture of me in Tulum, just next to my 4th coworking space called the Digital Jungle — if you follow your heart, if you care enough about what you want to do and whom you want to be, only yourself and your thoughts can be your limits. Don’t blame the system or others too quickly. Everything starts with CARE.</p><p class="">Do you care enough to think of it, and from your ideas and dreams, do you care enough to move them into action? It’s not always easy, but when you know the principles, you can unleash the activation, wiser. This is, in a way, the best real McCoy personal agility that you can have.</p><p class=""><a href="https://agile-lounge.com/alexandre-frederic-joly-agile-coach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Frédéric Joly</strong></a></p><p class="">Founder CEO, Principal Advisor and Enterprise Scrum Master</p><p class=""><strong>Agile Lounge® by AF J Solutions Inc.</strong></p><hr /><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />CELEBRATE WITH US</strong></p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong>DIX — 10th Anniversary of the Agile Lounge</strong></p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><em>A Decade of Business Agility, Community, and Lounge Culture</em></p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong>DATE  <span style="color: #0000ff;">Tuesday, April 14, 2026 — Starting at 5:00 PM ET</span></strong></p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong>VENUE  </strong>Crew Collective, Old Montréal</p><p class="" style="text-align: center;"><strong>ADMISSION  </strong>Free — A $10 gift donation is welcome.

<h3><span style="color: #ff9300;">Introduction et Contexte</span></h3>
<p>Le<strong> citoyen.ne</strong> a délégué ses pouvoirs a des «spécialistes», par facilité, paresse et manque de conscience collective. Le même citoyen.ne <strong>reproche à la politique son manque d&#8217;imagination,</strong> de pragmatisme et de courage. Mais il est <strong>le premier responsable</strong> de son sort, car on a <strong>le gouvernement qu&#8217;on mérite.</strong> Nous serons gouvernés dignement le jour où nous aurons définit nos priorités, dans <strong>une perspective humaine.</strong> L&#8217;accumulation du profit ne peut plus être la seule raison de vivre et de se développer. <strong>Pour qu&#8217;une société soit viable et progressiste</strong>, il est indispensable que les individus prennent conscience de la collectivité, qui leur procure des droits et des avantages, mais <strong>envers laquelle ils ont des devoirs</strong>.<br />L&#8217;<strong>individualisme</strong> conduit directement à l&#8217;<strong>isolement</strong>, au <strong>sectarisme</strong>, autrement dit : à la <strong>misère humaine</strong>.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="color: #ff9300;"><strong>La Campagne Électorale Actuelle (Canada 2025)</strong></span></h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Je trouve cette campagne électorale canadienne ennuyante. Il n&#8217;y a pas d&#8217;enjeux de société profond ni de projets de vivre ensemble captivant ni à droite, ni à gauche. C&#8217;est fade, c&#8217;est vide, c&#8217;est surtout plein de «nomie» pas assez de «logie». <br />L’automne dernier, jusqu’en janvier, il semblait y avoir un meilleur argumentaire parlant d’enjeux de sociélté, d’économie et d’avenir nous touchant. Depuis l’élections de notre voisin du Sud et leurs demandes d’ajuster<strong><a href="https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF10997" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) Trade Agreement.</a></strong></p>
<p>Cette <strong>campagne fédérale de 2025</strong>, prends maintenant, un angle subjectif et émotionnel biaisé sur une perspective du traité de libre-échange et l’attaque sur les manières de faire, basé sur l’attitude du leader Américain. <strong>Elle manque d&#8217;empirisme et de poésie cette campagne.</strong> <br />À gauche on utilise la peur et la haine de M. Orange, au lieu du progrès de notre société, et à droite, ils font toujours ce qu’ils ont toujours bien fait: ils réagissent et tombe dans le panneau de cette noirceur. <br />Objectivement, j’observe tout de même que les conservateurs proposent tout de même plus de solutions que les libéraux pour <strong>répondre aux enjeux de société auquel le Canada fait face</strong>, domestique et à l’international. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="color: #ff9300;">Envie de voter blanc!</span></h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Pour la première fois, cette campagne, me donne envie de voter blanc. En discutant avec des collègues, ami.e.s et famille, j&#8217;ai eu une réalisation et une réflexion que je partage objectivement par ici sur mon blog et podcast. <br />Attention: je ne prends pas position pour le vote en blanc. J&#8217;offre plutôt une réflexion d&#8217;essence résumant plusieurs de mes conversations récentes sur le sujet de l&#8217;abstention et surtout de qu&#8217;est-ce que NOUS pourrions faire ensemble pour vivre une expérience citoyenne plus satisfaisante et voir même agile en prenant réellement nos responsabilités en main.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="color: #ff9300;">REPRENDRE NOS RESPONSABILITÉS</span></h3>
<p>Le fonctionnement d&#8217;une <strong>personne politique élue, sur mandat est déjà à la base à revoir</strong>. Comment est-il possible pour des «gestionnaires» qui résument des dossiers élaborés par des assistants, qu&#8217;ils puissent prendre la bonne décision sur un problème quelconque. Quelle image de la réalité et du quotidien ont-ils ? Sur quelle base réaliste sera fondée leurs décisions ? Pour qui ? Pourquoi ?</p>
<p><strong>Le citoyen.ne a délégué ses pouvoirs a des «spécialistes», par facilité, paresse et manque de conscience collective.</strong> Le même citoyen.ne reproche à la politique son manque d&#8217;imagination, de pragmatisme et de courage. Mais il est le premier responsable de son sort, car on a le gouvernement qu&#8217;on mérite.</p>
<p><strong>Nous serons gouvernés dignement le jour où nous aurons définit nos priorités, dans une perspective humaine.</strong> L&#8217;accumulation du profit ne peut plus être la seule raison de vivre et de se développer. Pour qu&#8217;une société soit viable et progressiste, il est indispensable que les individus prennent conscience de la collectivité, qui leur procure des droits et des avantages, mais envers laquelle ils ont des devoirs et des responsabilités.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #ff9300;"><b>Vous êtes conscient.e ? RÉFLÉCHISSEZ :<br /></b></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Quel motivation vous agite à ce point ?</li>
<li>De quoi avez vous vraiment envie ?</li>
<li>Quels moyens vous donnez vous réellement pour y accéder ?</li>
<li>De quoi avez vous vraiment besoin ?</li>
<li>Qu&#8217;avez vous comblez de ces besoins et envies ?</li>
<li>Comment réagissez-vous devant cette frustration ?</li>
<li>À quoi croyez-vous réussir ?</li>
<li>Comment assumez-vous l&#8217;échec ?</li>
<li>À quoi croyez-vous ? À qui croyez vous ?</li>
<li>À quoi pensez-vous ? À qui pensez-vous ?</li>
<li>Quel bonheur est censé vous apporter la soif du profit et de son accumulation ?</li>
<li>Quels biens vous font du bien ?</li>
<li>Qu&#8217;allez-vous manger une fois qu&#8217;il ne vous restera plus que de l&#8217;argent et du matériel transformé ?</li>
<li>Pourquoi allez-vous voter ?</li>
<li>Pour qui voulez vous voter ?</li>
<li>Pourquoi ce choix ?</li>
<li>Avez-vous vraiment le choix ?</li>
<li>Croyez-vous en la démocratie au Canada ?</li>
<li>Est-ce que notre civilisation a vraiment progressé ?</li>
<li>Avez-vous déjà falsifié une histoire ?</li>
<li>Pensez-vous que l&#8217;histoire de l&#8217;humanité est constamment falsifiée ?</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>On peut voter une fois au quatre ans, mais <strong>on peut voter tous les jours, par nos actions, et nos refus</strong>. Le cumul de ces derniers peut faire infléchir la tendance initiale vers d&#8217;autres destinées.</p>
<p>Ce sont les petites gouttes d’eau qui font les torrents, les rivières, puis les mers.</p>
<p>Alors, notre goutte compte-t-elle ?</p>
