Midwest Book Review
Poutine on the Orient Express is a humourous, well written, imaginative book that will make you think back over your travelling experiences and reminisce as you read. Marcel takes travel to a new level of understanding. Always able to see the laugh behind the situation, Marcel enables us to giggle at travel experiences. It makes a great companion on your next vacation or a great gift for people who love to go away. Marcel imaginative style of writing entertains and made me laugh. I highly recommend Marcel’s book “Poutine on the Orient Express”. Don’t leave home without it.

“I received my latest copy of Briefly Speaking. When I receive my OR’s I go straight to the Tribunal Decision Section (obviously). When I get Briefly Speaking I go straight to “Just for Laughs”. While some tribunal decisions may seem sadly funny — Marcel’s articles always get a laugh — and for the right reasons. Thanks.”

“Marcel presents a role model for how humour can help, used positively and in good taste. He is especially convincing since he works in a conflictory profession as a lawyer.
I can imagine how he succeeds with humour.”

At the OTLA New Lawyers Division Conference in September of 2013, Marcel commanded attention to the podium with his style, humour and wit. Through the use of his wit, wisdom and experience, he taught new lawyers the skills needed to fight fires, stay humble, stay civil (and humorous), and most importantly, calm the ruffled feathers of medical practitioners and opposing counsel while still getting the needed response. Thank you Marcel for sharing your time and experience with us!
