Au début de la télévision française à Radio-Canada (Montréal), les commentaires entre les périodes des parties de hockey étaient assurés par des journalistes ou commentateurs invités par l'animateur, Jean-Maurice Bailly, lesquels, assis dans des berceuses autour d'un poêle à bois, y allaient de leurs propos avec verve et assurance. Suivie avec autant d'intérêt que la partie elle-même, cette tranche de la télédiffusion était appelée «La Ligue du vieux poêle». 1, record 3, French, - ligue%20du%20vieux%20po%C3%AAle

Where an accused was to stand trial before the court of general sessions of the peace, he could consent to have his trial held before a judge of that court sitting alone out of session. It was hoped that, with this option, an accused who was detained after a committal for trial would not have to languish in prison awaiting the next session of the court. The accused was therefore permitted to re-elect in order to undergo what was termed a "speedy trial" under Part XVIII(as it then was) of the Code. 2, record 4, English, - speedy%20trial

Un accusé qui devait subir son procès devant la Cour des sessions générales de la paix pouvait, de son consentement, être jugé par un juge de cette cour hors du terme des assises. Cette disposition avait pour but d'éviter qu'une personne citée à procès et détenue, ne soit contrainte d'attendre en prison l'ouverture du terme de la Cour, pour qu'il soit disposé de son cas. On permettait donc à l'accusé de réopter pour subir ce que la partie XVIII de l'ancien Code désignait comme procès expéditif (speedy trial). 2, record 4, French, - proc%C3%A8s%20exp%C3%A9ditif
