Voila the captain of the team in Silence, on joue! at ICI Radio-Canada
Claude-Olivier is one of our favourite team players in the CP division. He is positive, always available and ready to crack a joke to ease the mood when necessary.
We ignored he was also a super star. We were surprised to find him on our tube when flicking through the channels to learn about the weather. After all Canada is well known for its ever changing weather!
Although COT did not win the prize, he was an excellent contestant
Claude-Olivier is easily found all over the Web, like YouTube.
Google COT any time! Or click in videos like this one:

A L'Oreal Affair
Our bride Lauren Tajfel was a busy bee and she forgot to share her gorgeous wedding pic from last summer.

But Lauren's wedding was a real L'Oreal affaire with glitz and glamour. Judge for yourself!
Mariage clearly takes your mind away, but in a romantic world who needs to worry? Certainly not our bride Amelie who married her beau on August 5 in les îles de la Madeleine!

And in our next capsule, we will have the pleasure to see the bride-to-be, Gisia. She is tying the knot on May 21st. Congratulations Gasia.
