City hall opposition is pitting itself (see what I did there) against the abolition of the pitbull law, saying it puts the safety of Montrealers at risk.
You know, I never bought that Projet was so entirely keen on pitbulls as they claimed to be, and now I don’t buy that Équipe Coderre Mouvement Montréal is so much in favour of banning them. They’re just a political hot potato.
Lionel Perez announced Monday that “Équipe Denis Coderre” is now called Mouvement Montréal. Perez remains interim leader of the city’s opposition party, and no leadership contest is expected for at least a year.
Some historians are taking issue with the acknowledgment at city council meetings that Montreal is built on unceded native territory.
A report says that any monorail following the 20 or 40 to Quebec City would be more an amusement ride than a form of transit.
Philippe Pichet had his problems, but he was apparently working on the relationship between his force and the homeless. Now advocates for the homeless are concerned that the interim chief will be so taken up with internal police force matters that he’ll let the process drop.
The brief fling with ugly Christmas trees may be over, as a tree-producing consortium has donated a classic tall tree to the city’s Christmas village.
Turcot closures have gone beyond nightmare and headache and are now torment on the CBC. The Fort Street and Lucien-l’Allier accesses are closed now for more than a year.
Facing criticism for lack of diversity at city hall, Valérie Plante has created a working group against discrimination. I don’t know whether CBC deliberately put a photo of four white people on their version of the story, but it illustrates the problem to some extent.
Later: CBC changed the photo, but it’s still a photo of mostly or all white people.
