During his press review on Thursday, Paul Arcand paid tribute to his friend and former colleague, Daniel Pinard, who died the day before at the age of 82.
This morning, I feel like talking about Daniel […] The one who had a precise point of view on current issues and who did not hesitate to spark controversies. It wasn’t always conscious, it wasn’t always what he was looking for, but he wasn’t the type to back down or give up on debates on important issues.

Sociologist, writer, journalist, host and columnist, man of great culture with a unique temperament, Daniel Pinard has delivered numerous columns over the years, among others, on Paul Arcand’s radio shows.
He also hosted several cooking shows on television, revolutionizing the genre with his style and passion.
I think he got a lot of guys interested in cooking, terroir and local products.
Paul Arcand
He is someone who had a great influence in my life and who made me understand that beyond the brutal news that hits us every day, there are always humans behind and there are has this kind of sensitivity. He really influenced me on that and I thank him for that.
