And now here is our favorite list: the list of illnesses that marked the year for us.
The 13 biggest problems of 2024 in Quebec:
1. Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge and his birch
Do we need to recall the saga of the GLT birch “joke” last March?
• To read: Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge’s controversial “joke”: what you need to know
• To read: Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge tried to invite himself to Everyone talks about it but Guy A refused
The actor’s apologies did not help to ease the discomfort.
This whole story caused the host to lose a few contracts… and to become the most Googled personality of the year in Quebec, far ahead of Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau.
2. The chicane of Dany Turcotte and the team Everyone is talking about it

The public had the impression of witnessing a family argument on October 6 when Guy A accused Dany Turcotte of having settled scores with the show’s team in his book, rather than talking to him about it. Before.
• To read: Dany Turcotte settles scores with the “Everybody talks about it” team live with Guy A. Lepage and viewers cry out for discomfort
But Guy A accused him of it live on TV, rather than talking to him about it first.
Viewers cried out for discomfort.
3. The transition from alpha male to Everyone is talking about it (and his response in English)

Let’s continue with Everyone is talking about it, while we’re at it. Following the release of the documentary Alphason Télé-Québec, the show held a segment on the subject.
First supposed to be accompanied by another Alpha who was disinvited due to the outcry (first discomfort), Julien Bournival was ultimately alone from his clan on the set (second discomfort).

And what about Mr. Bournival’s exit, a few days later, on social networks (third discomfort).

As if that wasn’t enough, our Journal colleagues later told us that the alpha male was not the financial prodigy he claimed to be (fourth malaise).
4. Geneviève Guilbault tries to corner Pascal Bérubé in a corridor
It’s already from February, so maybe you need a refresher on your memory. MP Pascal Bérubé, of the PQ, was waiting to enter a room in parliament when he was addressed in a very unparliamentary manner by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Geneviève Guilbault.
The scene was considered so uncomfortable that a Quebecer re-did the credits for The Office with the event.

• To read: Geneviève Guilbault apologizes after discomfort at the National Assembly and Pascal Bérubé chokes on his sarcasm
It’s perfect.
5. Luc Ferrandez loses his temper on air against his co-host Nathalie Normandeau and leaves the studio
It’s more recent and we’ve of course talked less about it than the previous sagas. But those who heard the chicanery live will remember it for a long time…
6. A big discomfort on the air between MC Gilles and Patrick Lagacé
In livethe discomfort had gone unnoticed. But apparently poor Patrick has turned white as a sheet.
• To read: MC Gilles recounts a big discomfort on the air with Patrick Lagacé
The most uncomfortable part of this whole story is that MC Gilles told it on a podcast just a few days before losing his job at 98.5FM.
Which brings us to the next point:
7. MC Gilles is asked about Patrick Lagacé
The host in the cowboy hat says it himself, he has no filter. After his surprise dismissal from COGECO, he gave a few interviews, including the one that interests us, to In the media in September.
At the end, the host of the show, Marie-Louise Arsenault, asked him what it was like to work with Patrick Lagacé.
For those who don’t know, rumors have it that the tumultuous relationship between the two men led to the decision to fire MC Gilles outside the radio station.

MC’s response tends to confirm this rumor…
8. Patricia Paquin learns that she is losing her radio job a few hours before going on the air
In an Instagram post, the host announced that she had just learned that she was losing her microphone just before she was scheduled to go on air.

The story caused a lot of talk at the end of the summer.
Several weeks later, Patricia Paquin added that if she had been in the place of her colleague Marie-Ève Janvier, she would have resigned in solidarity.
9. Yves Poirier found the fake lawyer and the conversation is very awkward
Obviously, the discomfort is on the lawyer’s side.

10. Natalie Choquette reacts to her awkward performance at Britain’s Got Talent and reveals that production used it
At Sac de chips, we rather loved the bizarre performance of the great Quebec singer at BGT.
Unfortunately, Natalie Choquette returned to the experience a few days later and explained that she felt exploited and deceived by the show’s team.

It’s true that on the other side of the Atlantic, many found it awkward to throw noodles everywhere on the set.
11. French Youtubers discover a grocery store in Quebec…

Sigh.
12. Gala Influence Création: a YouTuber dissects the discomforts
The evening which rewards Quebec digital content creators took place last May, and it was presented online.
Luckily for us, YouTuber Pat Savard gave us a montage of the best discomforts of the evening.

We love it when the work is done for us.
13. Denis Coderre takes advantage of the eclipse (?) to make a slightly bitter tweet
The former mayor of Montreal doesn’t miss a single one. “Finally, the thousands of Montrealers at Parc Jean Drapeau benefit from the extraordinary infrastructure of our administration.”
Ok Denis.
More or less a discomfort than the time when he wasn’t really happy with Tommy Néron’s jokes about him at Everyone is talking about it in January?
• To read: Denis Coderre reacts quite badly to a joke about him and his non-verbal behavior confirms it
You be the judge.
