Bonjour! Hello!
Isabelle Bourgeault-Tassé
​​
Franco-Ontarian writer and raconteuse, I write about Canada's Francophonies, the raw beauty of their unique ways of speaking, the politics that shape them, and the people imagining their future.
​
I publish at La Tourtière.
​
My work has also appeared in La Presse, Le Droit, ONFR+, Le Voyageur, The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and TVO.org.
I have provided punditry for Radio Canada, appearing regularly on Jonction 11-17, a program broadcast across northern Ontario. I have also appeared on The Agenda (TVO), The Globe and Mail's podcast The Decibel and several Radio Canada programs in Ontario and across Canada.
Words in the mainstream
A few of my personal favourite writings
01
​A long-form feature exploring the experiences of newcomers building new lives in Greater Sudbury, and the ways immigration is reshaping the region's social, cultural and economic future.
03
One day, when it is my turn to copy the family tourtière recipe, I will let my grandmother bear witness through generations. I will copy her words in English as a reminder of what is at stake when we lose our roots.
02
An essay exploring how Francophone communities are reclaiming space in an English-first Internet, arguing that digital platforms can become tools for cultural renewal, belonging and connection across Canada's Francophonies.
04
An essay tracing the thread between Louis Riel's founding vision and Wab Kinew's leadership, exploring how Manitoba is redefining its identity through French, Indigenous languages and a more inclusive understanding of Canada's shared future.
