Poco antes de las 15.30, el exconsejero Lluís Puig Gordi ha entrado en el hemiciclo del Parlament de Catalunya y se ha dirigido a su escaño donde descansaba desde hace nueve años un lazo amarillo y que solo había visto por televisión. Junto a la butaca del diputado Albert Batet, de Junts, Puig ha alzado el lazo de cartón en señal de victoria en medio de una atronadora ovación de los diputados independentistas de su grupo, de ERC y de la CUP y el silencio de los del PSC y de los pocos que había del PP. Los de Vox expresamente se han ausentado del Pleno. Tampoco la mayoría de consejeros del Govern de Salvador Illa salvo Miquel Sàmper, Eva Menor y Esther Niubó. Puig llegó de Francia este miércoles e Illa ha mantenido una reunión con él, aunque no se sabe ni cuando no dónde. La ausencia del president en el Pleno ha desencadenado una queja de Junts que la ha remitido una carta señalando que esa reunión no reemplaza su “deber institucional” de haber estar en el Pleno.

El exconsejero catalán Toni Comín, fugado de la justicia española hace nueve años como consecuencia de su papel en el proceso independentista, se ha presentado finalmente este jueves en Madrid para acudir a la Junta Electoral Central (JEC) y jurar la Constitución española para adquirir plenamente la condición de eurodiputado. A la salida, Comín ha querido restar trascendencia a ese gesto formal y lo ha catalogado como “una pataleta de mal perdedor” y “un derecho al pataleo” del Estado español: “Es una prueba más de que saben que hemos ganado. Confirma nuestra victoria”.

LOS ANGELES: Ultra-endurance athlete Catherine Breed this week became the first person to swim California’s entire 900-mile (1,448 km) coastline, completing the journey from Oregon to Mexico in less than four months. Breed, 33, a San Francisco Bay Area native, confronted treacherous currents, storms, sharks and sewage as she swam a steady crawl stroke for up to five hours a day during her 111-day journey, according to organizers of the Swim California expedition. She was flanked throughout the
She barely knew anyone in the city, and relocating at 42 gave her a panic attack.
Moving to a new city while working for herself was hard, but it made her feel brave.
Last summer, I left my life in Connecticut behind and moved to Montreal on a whim, without a plan.
People told me I was brave.
Really? I'm a travel journalist. I've followed a snow leopard expert across Nepal; I've lived with a family in Uzbekistan who didn't speak English; and I've had a private encounter with the King of Bhutan.
Montreal is only a 6-hour drive from my hometown in Connecticut. It didn't seem brave to me. It seemed, frankly, safe.
Yet moving here at 42 gave me a panic attack. I hadn't been to Canada in more than 12 years and barely knew anyone.
After my parents dropped me off, we spent a few days exploring my new city together, where it's easy to get by without a car — it felt like the start of another semester abroad. Except this time, I was older and had no plans to leave.
The last time I'd been in Montréal with my parents was in the summer of 2003, before I left for a semester abroad in Hanoi. I had my first pho in Montréal's Chinatown.
So why Montreal?
A Facebook post on a full moon in May changed my life.
My lease in Ridgefield, Connecticut, was up. So was my relationship. My landlord wanted an extra $500 a month for the lofty, 1,100-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment in the woods that I had been sharing with my now-ex. That would bring the rent to $3,250 a month, not including utilities, which often reached $700 during the winter because of the high ceilings.
I saw all of this as signs to leave.
But I was about to write a check for $5,985 upfront for a $1,995-a-month, 900-square-foot, one-bedroom duplex nearby and buy a car.
Then a Canadian friend shared that her 638-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment near Montréal's Little Italy was available for 6 months at a writer-friendly rent: 1,100 Canadian dollars, or about $775 a month, including utilities, WiFi, furniture, and a beautiful patio. My friend is a professor and works abroad for half the year.
Ever since my first job at Tourisme Québec's New York office — the role that ultimately launched my travel-writing career — I'd wanted to live in Montreal. I also speak French. It seemed like a no-brainer, so I said "oui."
I found out that Americans can spend up to 6 months in Canada per visit. However, anyone who spends more than 183 days in the country in a calendar year may have to pay taxes. Foreign media workers like me also don't require a work permit. I consulted an immigration lawyer about staying in Canada.

My new life in Canada
Since moving, I've learned to row. I take weekly lessons at the Olympic Basin, where beginner courses cost CA$200 each. Gliding hundreds of meters solo in a scull has been one of the best antidotes to my anxiety. Socially, though, I should've joined the dragon boat team.
My neighborhood, La Petite-Patrie, is home to some of the city's top restaurants, including Vin Mon Lapin, Pasta Pooks, and Limbo. And Marché Jean-Talon — the largest open-air market north of Mexico — is my local grocer.
Some cultural highlights have included celebrating Jewish holidays at Leonard Cohen's shul, attending my first F1 race, cross-country skiing in Parc du Mont-Royal, and going to a hockey game solo.
Sure, there's been loneliness. There's been longing. It's not easy moving to a new city when you work for yourself. Nor is it easy being more than 10 minutes from my parents — and their delicious cooking. But I've also made new friends, hosted old friends, and opened my heart.
