La Presse has a brief piece saying that the driver whose U-turn on Camillien-Houde caused the death of a cyclist will be facing charges. The young man’s family held a funeral on the weekend.
Update: Newer items say the news about charges was a mistake and that the investigation is ongoing. “Denis Coderre […] said he’s putting together a working group to analyze the road’s use and see if anything can be done to make Camillien-Houde Way safer.” Get motor traffic off it, Denis. It’s not difficult.
The driver is said to be an American tourist, but I wonder if he’s someone the authorities don’t want to offend. It’s difficult to see how his U-turn would not be considered dangerous driving causing death.

Most of the talk Tuesday will be about Airbus buying a majority stake in Bombardier’s CSeries plane, and moving a chunk of the production to the United States, even as the PLQ passes a face-covering law (see previous post). That Tuesday is the last day to register if you’re not on the voting list for November 5 is just a wee footnote.

The PLQ, in a transparent effort to cut short any PQ efforts toward cultural xenophobia, is passing a religious neutrality law Tuesday. It’s mostly about face coverings, including banning anyone in a face covering from using public transit. Even the PQ didn’t go there. Will this late move in the Crusades retain any voters for the PLQ next year?

Metroscope has a sly point Monday after Coderre claimed on TLMEP that his people never gave out free Formula E tickets – something he’d admitted doing weeks ago.
