Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on November 13, 1938)

Happy birthday, Gerald Godin! Celebrating a poet who masterfully juggled politics and poetry without dropping either. Your pen was mightier than even the loudest political debates—no surprise considering your iconic work "Ils ne demandaient qu'à brûler." Clearly, you set pages aflame long before trending hashtags took over.

To Quebec's legendary journalist-politician-poet combo: we salute you for clinching literary acclaim (hello Prix Québec-Paris!) while navigating parliament chambers like poetic stages. Here's raising our glass to your timeless wit and courage—today we're sure you're somewhere crafting poems powerful enough to make politicians rhyme spontaneously!

Cheers to the legend who always left us burning for more verses!
