Montreal’s finest were just hit with a 60000$ verdict in the case of:
‘Oh sorry we didn’t mean to jump out of our cars with guns drawn assuming since you were three black men (in their 40’s and 50’s) that you were obviously robbing the house that one of you lives at…’
How about the case of […]

While I completely understand local resident’s desire to have a better say in the redevelopment of the Turcot exchange, there can be no doubt that this mass of gorgeous concrete is at the end of it’s useful life.
With giant holes appearing, overloaded trucks banned and a permanent state of panic laden repairs taking place, we […]

Another reason I would consider moving to SF.
SAN FRANCISCO — A measure seeking to commemorate President Bush’s years in office by slapping his name on a San Francisco sewage plant has qualified for the November ballot.

I called […]

I don’t think they’ll let this PR nightmare continue past San Fran.  Although the homeland media apparently has been spinning it as a western failure of security.   Pity the poor saps that signed up ages ago to run with the torch to fulfill a dream only to have it whisked away mid step.  But pity […]

I forget the last reason I posted about Bureau en Gros (yes, too lazy to scan the archives) but this one needed to be raised.  Making a few copies of work related receipts at the NDG store on Sherbrooke when I screw one up.  Look for the recycling box and find only what looks to […]

China unravels. This is the beginning of the year of protest. Welcome to the Olympics, please don’t take notice of the death row inmates, tortured souls and random human rights atrocities as you try and enjoy the games.
