A David Speciale for Enrico Vanzina, director and screenwriter, but no recognition for his brother Carlo, also director, who died in Rome on July 8, 2018. An “oversight” that the widow Lisa Melidoni points the finger at and accuses the jury that David (whose award ceremony will be held in Rome on May 10) has “excluded” her husband, “humiliating his memory”. “With my daughters,” Melidoni Ansa said, “we found out how the Accademia del David di Donatello has already forgotten Carlo Vanzina, my husband, her father. Giving his brother an award and not giving Carlo credit was a gesture of ingratitude to a director who has made well over 60 films. A great gentleman of Italian cinema in the opinion of all those who have worked on him for more than 40 years of esteemed career».
Carlo Vanzina, Melidoni continues, was “a master, a humble man, not from modesty but from innate refinement; always on tiptoe, never evasive nor arrogant nor craving for protagonism on the contrary, of those who boast of inaccurate truths to always be the center of undeserved attention. “Dear jury of the David – concludes the “j’accuse” of the widow Vanzina with bitterness -, with the same superficiality that awards this prize, you have marginalized a great protagonist, an author of Italian comedy and his memory not demeaned after I recognized him, not even post mortem his infinite devotion to our cinema, because we know that whoever was loved so much in life will be forgotten in death by the indifferent.”

Leigh-Anne Pinnock shared an anti-establishment post on Friday night ahead of the King’s coronation.
The Little Mix star, 31, used her Instagram story to post the message, which revealed some of the sentiments shared by a minority of the population over the celebrations amid the UK’s cost of living crisis.
The message originally posted by Munroe Bergdorf read: “Dear rest of the world. “Don’t be fooled by the propaganda you see out of the UK this weekend. The mood here isn’t jubilant, it’s angry.
“England is a fascist nightmare where there are more food banks than McDonalds.
The message continued: “We don’t want pomp, we want affordable food, rent and bills.

Hitting: “Don’t be fooled by the propaganda you’re seeing from the UK this weekend. The mood here is not jubilant, it’s angry’
“The timing of this coronation, with all its gold and jewel opulence, could not be more tasteless and disgusting.
“It’s unjustifiable and it’s undesirable. If we ask God to save anyone, it should be the 14.4 million people living in poverty, not the king.”
A number of celebrities have been asked to perform at the coronation including Elton John, the Spice Girls and Harry Styles.
However, they were unable to perform due to their busy schedules – and big names like Ed Sheeran, Robbie Williams and Adele also had to decline due to commitments.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, Leigh-Anne certainly got hearts racing as she flaunted her incredible figure in a skimpy black bikini.
The Little Mix star wowed as she showcased her items in a sizzling slow-mo video that allowed her to show off her toned physique to perfection in the two-piece.
A businesswoman, Leigh-Anne happily showed off the swimwear from her own collection, In A Seashell, while also showing off the brand’s black beach bag.
Leigh-Anne exuded confidence as she brushed her hair and twirled it for the camera on a sultry day on an idyllic beach.
To accessorize her beachy look, she paired her bikini with a metallic cover-up and added gold-rimmed sunglasses and huge gold hoop earrings.

It comes as Leigh-Anne’s debut solo single is “just around the corner” after she flew to Turkey to film the big-budget video.
The singer traveled to Istanbul last weekend to record the track, which has been described as an “up-tempo pop hit”.
A source told The Sun: “Leigh-Anne’s debut is just around the corner. Her talent is undeniable, as is her work ethic.
“She is now in rehearsals to perfect her moves and make sure the video is everything and more for her fans.
“The combination of the energetic dance routines and the dramatic landscape and buildings of Istanbul makes for a truly stunning video.”

Details of the appearance of Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, were revealed by viewers at the coronation of King Charles III. praised. The accessories she chose have special meanings, most notably the earrings that belonged to Lady Di.
The pair of Collingwood pearl earrings worn by Kate previously belonged to Princess Diana. She received the items as a gift in 1981 from the then Prince Charles. Also, your George VI Festoon Necklace belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, which was a gift from George VI.
The tiara that completed Kate’s look also received its own highlight. A similar headpiece was worn by his daughter Charlotte.
The attire, on the other hand, was worn by a formal coat in the color with red accents over a cream dress signed by the Alexander McQueen brand, the same one chosen for her wedding dress in 2011.
For a long time, actor, author and television producer Louis Morissette gave up his entrepreneurial background because in the art world, being associated with the business world was not particularly glorious. An embarrassment that has faded over time while today he fully embraces his role and responsibilities as an entrepreneur.
Posted 1:54pm Updated 6:30am
It is also Louis Morissette Inc. that I meet at Groupe KO’s Notre Dame offices to discuss his latest business ventures and his philanthropic commitment to the Véro & Louis Foundation, which he established with his wife Véronique Cloutier to to support autistic adults.
He inherited his entrepreneurial spirit from his father, Jacques Morissette, who co-founded the Drummondville ventilation company Venmar, which was sold in 1995. The company was managed by Pierre Marcouiller, who later moved to Camoplast, which became Camso and which has since been sold to Michelin.
“I’ve worked in all departments at Venmar, I did my internships there when I was studying International Business and Marketing at university. Studying at McGill allowed me to learn English and I am happy today because it serves me well,” said the President of Groupe KO.
After studying administration, Louis Morissette enrolled in the School of Humor and started a group of comedians who got a television show on the old Quatre-Saisons channel. There he decided to become a producer.
“There are a lot of things that have been cut, always citing the budget. I asked to see the budget, and I realized there was a way to do it differently, better,” he says.
He writes and co-produces a first series, CA, which precisely narrates the life of young administrative students… Thus the KO Group was born.
Today the company manages five departments: KO TV, for television productions (20 to 30 productions per year), KO Scène, which produces comedy shows (Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais, Laurent Paquin…), KO Média, which works in publishing Magazines (Véro, Elle Québec, Elle Canada…) and books, KO 24, which produces films (co-production of the film Le mirage, Le guide la famille parfait…), and finally KO Growth.
This last division makes investments in sectors not strictly linked to culture, notably a stake with the Messier, Savard group in the ownership of the Le Mirage golf course. It is the new CEO of Groupe KO, Stéphane Rochon, who runs KO Croissance.
“In each of the businesses, I am the majority shareholder, but I have key employees who are also shareholders… At KO TV, we are six partners, including three women, and in all other businesses, my managing directors are also shareholders,” says Louis Morissette.
Take some distance
In addition to the activities of Groupe KO, which mobilize around a hundred employees, Louis Morissette also makes personal investments, some of them with his partner Véronique Cloutier.
“We have been based on Rue Notre-Dame for years, but our teams are located on three different floors. We will be moving to a brand new building in Longueuil next December. All of our areas will occupy the ground floor,” says the entrepreneur.
He and his wife are partners of the GesDev Group and the Fonds de solidarité FTQ in the Novia project, which is nearing completion. Comprised of two towers housing more than 350 apartments adjacent to the Longueuil tube station, the Novia is one of the elements in the revitalization of this key South Shore sector, which will soon house a performance hall.
Two years ago, the appointment of Louis Morissette to the board of directors of Investissement Québec caused some surprise. He left the finance arm of the Quebec government 14 months later.
“It was Jean Saint-Gelais, CEO of Investissement Québec, who asked me to join the board because he wanted someone from the world of culture around the table. I met Jean St-Gelais when we set up the Véro & Louis Foundation, he gave us a lot of advice. »
I agreed to sit on the board of Investissement Québec, but quickly became uncomfortable, seeing the risks of being associated with the CAQ or claiming that I favor certain projects over others. I’m still too active.
Louis Morrisette
Too active even if he has appointed a CEO in his place to run the KO group?
“I’m staying there to ensure the strategic planning and management of certain projects, but I’d like to have more time, particularly to return to the stage and to write series,” he explains.
And also take care of the Véro & Louis Foundation, which he founded together with Véronique Cloutier to create living environments for adults with autism.

Véronique Cloutier and Louis Morissette announced last week the upcoming construction of two new shelters for adults with autism.
The Véro & Louis Foundation announced last week the upcoming construction of two new shelters, which will be added to a first existing resource since 2021 in Varennes.
“We had a good helping hand from Mr Marcel Lussier who won a large sum in the lottery and made a donation of 7 million. A new residential center will cost approximately $6.5 million to design and build. We will open one in the Laurentians and another in Victoriaville, also thanks to the support of the François Bourgeois Foundation,” says Louis Morissette.
For the President of Groupe KO, the Véro & Louis Foundation is something like the sixth division of the group he created, a commitment that is close to his heart and preoccupies him. A successful entrepreneur must also share in the success of others.
I was surprised, shocked, by the directive, said Denis Cloutier, president of the Union of Care Professionals of the East-of-the-Island-of-Montreal, in an interview with Tout un matin at ICI Première on Friday. If they do sit-ins, it’s because they [les infirmières] confronted with situations in which they feel they cannot provide quality care to their patients.
In recent months, public outings by nursing staff at the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont (HMR) in east Montreal have highlighted the annoyance of health network staff over overtime (TS) and particularly mandatory overtime (TSO).
According to data obtained by Radio-Canada under the Access to Documents Act, HMR is not the only hospital where nurses are recording TS and TSO.
Last year, the nursing and cardiovascular (Category 1) staff of about twenty hospitals across Quebec collectively experienced TS and OSI of more than 10% of their regular work hours.

The average TS rate reached 7.46%, while the average OST rate was 0.28% for the 93 hospitals from which we had data.
According to the Ministry of Health’s online dashboard, the OSI rate for the nursing and cardiovascular staff reached 0.62% during the 2022 summer vacation.
The Montreal, Montérégie and Outaouais regions are particularly affected by the use of overtime.
As the President of the Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec (FIQ), Julie Bouchard, explains in the negotiations, we want the complete abolition of mandatory overtime.

Nurses across the network accumulated about nine million hours of overtime in 2021-2022, according to the Department of Health.
A recurring situation
The use of overtime is not new.
According to our data, prior to the pandemic (2019-2020), overtime rates among caregivers were also widespread. Three years later, the rates for the hospitals we got the data from have increased slightly.
As the Doctor of Nursing and teacher Nathalie Saké-Doucet reminds us, in the late 1990s, with the outpatient shift, we forced almost 6000 nurses to retire and this is where the TSO was born, which continues to be a major issue to this day.

This extra time is concentrated where there are most issues with employee retention and workload. […] in emergencies, midwifery units and intensive care, adds Ms. Saké-Doucet.
Additionally, according to data from the Quebec Institute of Statistics, hospital nurses are among the workers who work the most overtime in Quebec. In 2021, the Quebec average was 4% for all occupations combined and 6.5% for teachers.
The obsession with retention
When he started examining health credits last week, Minister Christian Dubé did not hesitate to reply that the main problem in the health network is staff retention.
The 20,000 other graduates are worrying [chaque année] because they no longer want to work in the health network […] It’s much more of a bonding issue than an attraction issue, explained Christian Dubé.
“We can get young nurses in training, young nurses, orderlies […] because they form many of them. What we have trouble with is keeping them. »
— A quote from Christian Dubé, April 25, 2023, during the investigation into the budget of the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux
Met during a Common Front (CSN, CSQ, FTQ, APTS) union demonstration, clinical nurse Mélanie Samson did not hesitate to point out the impact of overwork on her young colleagues.
Personally, I know some who have gone to other departments where there is less traffic. Others simply left the field, she says. Ms. Samson has worked in the emergency room at the Cité-de-la-santé in Laval for 12 years.

The new management is trying to do zero TSO, there is a will, recognizes Union of Nurses, Respiratory Therapists and Auxiliary Nurses of Laval (SIIIAL-CSQ) President Dereck Cyr. But they don’t always respect the collective bargaining agreement in the media […] and right now there is about 15% to 20% OST in the ER every day.
Self-management of schedules
Minister Christian Dubé has repeatedly advocated the self-administration of schedules in recent months in order to hand over the TSO to TS.
Some hospitals, like CHUM, offer nursing staff the opportunity to express their schedule preferences and choose available overtime. 12-hour shifts are also offered in some departments.
In the case of the MSSS, it is specified that many institutions have started with an organizational commitment beyond the pilot projects. […] and already now we observe: a decrease in the number of occasional absences, a decrease in the number of OSI shifts and an increase in the satisfaction rate of employees participating in the project.
In addition to self-management of schedules, some also suggest mobility of staff from one department to another, particularly to the emergency room.
It is out of the question for the President of the FIQ to accept such a proposal.
Caregivers working in CHSLDs or FMGs do not want to be moved from one location to another because the safety of the care would be compromised, explains Julie Bouchard.
When asked this week if he feared a strike in the autumn, Prime Minister François Legault replied he hoped not.
What we want is to find a solution as soon as possible for the good of the people of Quebec, but also for the good of the workers, argued the prime minister.
I am thinking, among other things, of the health network. We no longer want the use of private agencies, we no longer want obligatory overtime, so that means a new organization of work. This will happen a lot in collective bargaining.
Jerry Martin’s makeshift hard drug stand in Vancouver JENNIFER GAUTHIER (Portal)
Jerry Martin’s business adventure lasted only 24 hours, but he hopes his gesture will have an impact on his country’s laws. Martin, 51, opened a mobile drugstore Wednesday in downtown Eastside, a Vancouver neighborhood hit hard by Canada’s overdose wave. On Thursday, the police of this city in the province of British Columbia announced his arrest. The establishment offered heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA to its customers.
Health Canada launched a three-year pilot on January 31 to decriminalize possession of various hard drugs in British Columbia, the first such initiative in the country. The authorities allow adults a maximum of 2.5 grams of substances. The measure is part of the strategy to reduce overdose deaths. In 2022 alone, this Canadian province had 2,720 such deaths.
Regarding Jerry Martin’s arrest, Vancouver Police said in a statement, “We support the decriminalization of possession of small quantities of drugs, but sale or trafficking remains illegal and we remain committed to law enforcement.” Martin was released, while a date for a court hearing was set. They are also barred from the Downtown Eastside.
In his mobile store, Jerry Martin sold small bags of drugs weighing no more than 2.5 grams, the British Columbia project found. In addition, these drugs had been tested to rule out the presence of fentanyl, the main cause of the overdose wave. In an interview with Global News, Martin said his initiative aims to stimulate reflection on a safer supply of medicines. “People don’t even know what they’re consuming,” he said.
Jerry Martin has indicated that his arrest – also part of his plan – was aimed at sparking a serious national debate about safe and legal access to these substances. For him, the current legislation favors a supply chain with devastating consequences. He also claimed that he planned to use the profits from his business to fund an awareness campaign. Martin suffered from drug problems and lost a brother to an overdose.
Some Canadian doctors are licensed to prescribe diacetylmophrine (pharmaceutical-grade heroin) to addicts. However, federal authorities have indicated that over-the-counter sales of hard drugs is not on the table. In early March, Adastra Labs announced that it had received permits to manufacture, sell and distribute cocaine in British Columbia. Health Canada was quick to clarify that the company was authorized to do so for scientific and research purposes only. Adastra Labs needed to correct the information.

The Italian public is very disappointed with the absence of local player Matteo Berrettini, who has a stomach injury, from the tennis tournament in Rome, and some have put forward a fairly clear hypothesis about his problems.
The competition, which runs until May 21 in Rome, would have allowed yellow ball fans to embolden the 21st player in the world, except that he needs to heal his wounds; He was also unable to play his round of 16 match against Holger Rune in Monte Carlo a few weeks ago due to a torn oblique muscle. However, his girlfriend, model and TV presenter Melissa Satta had to respond to the gossip.
“People were implying that Matteo got hurt because we made too much love,” she told Vanity Fair magazine. It’s just a pity that it’s an injury in the same place as in 2021, when I didn’t know him yet.

In a relationship with the 27-year-old athlete, Satta says he has been the victim of bullying and sexism since the beginning of their relationship. What’s more, it’s probably not a first on the matter, as she mentioned experiencing a similar mishap while living with her ex-husband, German soccer player Kevin Prince Boateng.
“Once he suffered from pubalgia [une lésion chronique à l’aine]. Again I was accused of having too much sex and that was the cause of the problems, she clarified. Do I really have to answer these people?”
“This proves that sexism has always existed and is very real,” she added. Women are men’s distraction, some say. Then when a woman loses, we talk about what she’s consuming and not a man she’s dating.
Unpleasant
While Berrettini responded to critics by telling Style Magazine that these allegations “are tantamount to saying that a journalist writes less good articles because he has a wife and children,” Satta felt the need to make a speech, to protect his reputation.
“It started months ago when our story was published in January. They said: “Berrettini does not win because there is Satta who changes his mind and it is too demanding,” she explained, presenting an example of an offensive comment. But I held back because I’m not a person who denounces everything on social networks. I have a head on my shoulders.”
“A newspaper headline: ‘Melissa Satta brings bad luck’ after Matteo’s last game in Monte Carlo, which he won before the injury. How can you write something like that? It’s not ethical, it legitimizes my hatred.”
That’s enough
Satta also admitted that the case had taken on excessive proportions. “I received a lot of insulting, intimidating and sexist messages. After I decided to be a public figure, I agreed to show myself on social media, but I’m trying to maintain a romantic relationship with someone else and I just want to be happy,” she recalled .
“Sometimes I’m too thin or too fat. I’m newly made or poorly dressed. Apart from the fact that I love myself so much and I don’t let such comments affect me. If, on the other hand, you enter my private sphere, the alarm goes off. I’ve spoken about my life many times in interviews and on social media, but this is where the line was crossed.”
