Arrivé à Montréal en 1947 avec sa mère dans l’espoir d’y vivre une vie meilleure que dans sa France d’origine, le jeune Pierre Jeanniot s’illustre à l’école par un talent indéniable et une certaine envie de rébellion. « J’ai été fichu à la porte trois fois! se rappelle-t-il. En dernière année, j’ai été privé de cours pendant les dernières semaines, mais j’ai quand même fini deuxième sur l’île de Montréal. »

COVID-19: Overview of the current situation
/in Opinion /by Pierre JeanniotCivil aviation is a primary engine of the world travel and tourism sector.
This sector of the economy supports millions of jobs, generates major income, and makes a very significant contribution to the gross national product of many nations.
Because of its impact on the economy, and its importance to overall employment, there is much pressure from the various participants of this industry, firms, individual businesses, etc. to return as rapidly as possible to its previous level of activity.
But in order to achieve some level of return of this economic sector, many issues need to be overcome. This coronavirus is lethal and no vaccine or medication currently exist.
Governments are rightly concerned about the economic impact. People are scared and reluctant to travel – which could increase their exposure and possibility of getting COVID 19.
