A man was shot dead in Tétreaultville Monday evening. In a typical refrain, he was known to police. Homicide #23.
An older but informative Urbania piece on Tétreaultville.

An association of snow removal firms is denouncing Montreal’s decision to require side bars on snow trucks for pedestrian safety. Flailing for an excuse, the spokesman says they’re not proven to save lives, plus it’s too soon, and it will make snow removal too expensive.

As often happens in the media, a non-urgent story begins in one media platform and gradually migrates to others: Urbania and Global both have shoebox house stories this morning.

A vigil was held midday Sunday at the Holocaust museum and another is planned Monday evening in Côte St-Luc to honour the 11 people killed in Pittsburgh. CTV noted a lot of police keeping an eye on Sunday’s gathering; although this piece quotes a SPVM spokesman saying there’s no known imminent threat to the Jewish community here, there’s a simmering pot of right‑wing loonies in Quebec, like everywhere else these days.

Daily Hive has some sketches of what Berri-UQAM station will look like by fall 2020.
I’m confused, because I thought the station had already been under renovation for years. The new red walls on some platforms, the closure and reopening of key staircases – were these preliminary, or have they already been superseded by this new design?
I hope they keep the puck, whatever happens. It’s not shown in the drawings but they don’t have a view across the central space where it is.
Incidentally, the STM is hiring. Official page.

Again this weekend the police blotter is quiet. There was a fire in an apartment on Queen Mary on Saturday morning, blamed on unattended incense burning, evacuations but nobody seriously hurt. The Journal and CTV at least sent photographers, while the Gazette contented itself with a file photo of a fire engine.
There was also a widely reported zombie walk on Saturday, but regular readers know how I feel about zombie walks and can go find the links easily enough themselves.
