22/09/2022: Farewell Gypsy!
You were born in Australia during a thunderstorm, and your first family named you Thunder. You left this world last night, in Canada, in the middle of another big Thunderstorm. In the meantime, your name had changed to Gypsy to reflect your life as a world traveler, and you even had to learn another language! We were immensely fortunate to have you share our life for so many years, even if time is always too short. You will be sorely missed, for all of those little things that you did to help make our life slightly more extraordinary, as well as for your great big heart. You left us without pain, at peace, and purring to the very end. We are happy for this, and we wish you the best of rides, with lots of loving friends and family members, living life in the great outdoors of a comfortable courtyard and in a house with a fireplace, for all of your upcoming lives. Thank you, Gypsy, for everything that you gave us. We hope that we were able to repay you are least a tiny part of this. Farewell my big boy, and give our love to Edgard and Pout when you see them!

I spent the first 10 years of my career in a small town University that did not valorize, nor support, research. As someone passionate about research, I eventually decided to move to Australia for a more research-focused position. This was a true turning point in my career. However, after years away from my hometown of Montreal and far from family and friends,
my wife and I eventually decided to come back home. This was primarily a family, not a professional, decision. Upon coming back to Montreal, we were, however, very surprised
to see that in recent years, Quebec seemed to have taken a turn for the worse in electing
a new conservative party, preying on people’s fears of anything different, and encouraging a return to xenophobic, nationalistic, close-minded values. In the midst of it all, Concordia University feels like an oasis where all forms of diversity are not only welcome but celebrated,
and where high caliber research is truly supported and valued. Being nominated for this award
is for me a form of recognition of having made the right decision in joining this University,
a sign that any road, no matter how turbulent, can lead to good port, and an immense
encouragement to keep on doing what I do best.
