  whats the purpose of this website? you just copy what is in the news… waste of time

• Kate 11:13 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  You know, you’re right. Thanks!

• Marco 12:33 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  Thanks for the website and all you do Kate.

  Kate, your links and opinions are as refreshing as this morning’s jump in the river. Don’t ever change!

• DeWolf 12:52 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  I love this blog. Thanks for curating local news in an interesting way, Kate.

  I was certainly glad that whiever added a comment the other day about the Grand Splash did so. That sort of announcement often doesn’t propagate well, so we only read about it after the fact.

  There’s a brief video at the CBC site, and Kate is credited, or maybe just for tye tweet, so in this case, it may be fresh news followed by others.

  Maybe next year I’ll attend. It can’t be too dangerous if they wear life jackets.

  Thanks Kate, bye jo.

  Oh guys! Guys! Thank you!

  On another meta note, would you consider removing the ads and adding a Patreon (or alternative?) instead. Browsing this site without adblocker has become rather scary, and I’d rather directly support with money rather than indirectly with eyeballs and personal data.

• Kate 14:12 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  ant6n, I tell you what. I’m halfway to a Google payment now. When I hit that number I will take them down and do Patreon. It’ll be another couple of months but I tend to agree with you – the ads do detract.

• Daniel 14:17 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  So glad you do this and so grateful for this blog. 🙂

  Thanks for all you do Kate. Jo, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

  If this is a waste of time, then move along. I like having a local news aggregator with a personal touch 🙂

• Mitch Davis 14:58 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  I adore this site, and visit it daily. The sorry state of Montreal media has it so that local news stories often only appear at a single outlet while being ignored at the others. Were it not for this blog, I’d be missing tons of news. I consider Kate’s work to be invaluable, to put it mildly.

• Ginger Baker 15:26 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  Kate has inspired me to kickstart a new local media endeavour

  Jo inspires nothing.

  Be like Kate

  Ban Jo to Drummonville

• Raymond Lutz 15:53 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  EH! Ginger, there’s at least one MtlCityWeblog reader who’s living in Drummondville! Stay classy… 😎

• walkerp 17:49 on 2019-07-30 Permalink

  I would be a patreon backer to help remove the ads.

• JP 00:12 on 2019-07-31 Permalink

  I really enjoy this site too. Thanks Kate. Go to hell, Jo!

• Ian 09:12 on 2019-07-31 Permalink

  I guess Jo doesn’t understand or appreciate what an aggregate is for… their loss. I would also support bus patreon. I would also volunteer to make the site mobile friendly…

  Thank you Kate for the all the work you put into this blog over the years.
