The main actors are known. Guylaine Tremblay, François Bellefeuille, Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse, Patrick Huard and Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais will take up the challenge of Bye-bye 2022, but who will be their heads of Turks? Ahead of the traditional humorous review piloted for a seventh year by Simon-Olivier Fecteau, let’s speculate!

Francois Legault and Pierre Poilievre

It’s a classic. Political news invariably feeds Bye. The re-election of the CAQ should bring us back François Legault, but we can also think that Pierre Poilievre, new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, will make an appearance.

Truckers

Speaking of Poilievre, his support for truckers who parked for weeks last winter in downtown Ottawa reminds us that this disturbing convoy has something to inspire the authors of the Bye.
James William Awad

Influencers who party on a plane in defiance of the health rules then in force, a prime minister who calls them Ostrogoths, and an organizer, James William Awad, who holds a surreal press conference. This is a sketch that writes itself.
Volodymyr Zelensky
It seems unthinkable to miss the war in Ukraine. Here, the challenge will be to find the right tone to evoke this tragedy. Highlighting the courage of the Ukrainian president is an avenue that could be explored.
Will Smith
Speaking of being unwell at a gala, no one forgot Will Smith’s slap in the face of host Chris Rock in the middle of the Oscars, right?
Martin St Louis

The new head coach of the Montreal Canadiens has seduced everyone with his thoughts on how to lead a team, to the point of forgetting the losing streak. The authors of Bye surely took note.
Julien Lacroix
The #metoo movement continued to spill ink in 2022 and it is Julien Lacroix who emerges as the most serious candidate to go through the wringer of the Bye.
Maripier Morin
For months, Maripier Morin has been multiplying intimate confessions about her drug addiction problems, her motherhood, her twisted relationship with Brandon Prust, etc. In interviews in magazines, in his podcast or that of others. It’s a lot. It’s almost a parody.
Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge
In the crosshairs last year because of his refusal to be vaccinated and his animation of Masked singersGuillaume Lemay-Thivierge earned a second impersonation on December 31 when he sparked unease by awkwardly interrupting the Gémeaux Awards Gala to settle scores.
Ginette Reno

Let’s stay in the artistic field and galas in order to promote the candidacy of Ginette Reno who renames the rapper FouKi, who has become Funky, during the Gala de l’ADISQ.
The New King and the Queen’s Funeral
The royal family provided quality raw material for the end-of-year broadcasts. The queen who dies, the accession to the throne of Charles and the saga Harry and Meghan, it is abundance for the creators of the bye.

In a similar vein, Justin Trudeau and Gregory Charles created one of the funniest moments of the year with their unlikely duo at a London hotel during the Queen’s funeral.

Still on the same theme, the crusade of the leader of the Parti Québécois and his deputies to abolish the king’s oath is also worthy of mention.
Nurses suspended

It happened late in the year, but a nurse suspended for eating toast could give a sketch of our healthcare system with some teeth.
Pope

The head of the Catholic Church rarely visits Quebec. In the context of reconciliation with the First Nations and at a time when sex scandals continue to taint the institution, an imitation of Pope Francis is conceivable.
Elon Musk
He deserves an appearance with the storm caused by his dizzying passage at the head of Twitter…
