Dominique Garand receives award as Dominique Frot funeral details announced

Author Dominique Garand has been awarded a Prix du Canada for his work, ‘Anthologie du pamphlet et de la polémique au Québec de 1800 à 2000’. The book examines 200 years of ideological conflicts in Quebec, covering political, religious, and artistic tensions. Garand notes that while historical polemics were often intense, they generally maintained a level of respect for differing views that he believes is lacking in the modern era of social media.
