The Globe’s Everett-Green writes about the new comedy festival and the old. The inaugural Grand Montréal comédie fest unveiled some of its schedule this week and caught criticism for three errors in the name – “…des fautes de français, souligne l’Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). Avec le lieu au tout début du nom, le nom présente une syntaxe inversée, typique de l’anglais. On retrouve aussi le mot (anglais ou allemand) « fest » au lieu de festival, ajoute le porte-parole de l’OQLF, Jean-Pierre Le Blanc. Enfin, l’utilisation du mot « comédie », aussi français soit-il, ne fait pas référence aux pièces de théâtre ou aux oeuvres cinématographiques, mais à l’humour qui se traduit par « comedy » en anglais.”

It’s entirely media typical that Radio-Canada has a story about a popup shop in Paris selling Montreal-made goods while its anglo twin covers a bagel shop in Edinburgh opened by an expat Montrealer, who claims to have the best bagels in the UK. That may be true, but it brushes off the bagels made by this London shop, which I’ve tried and were as authentic as anything from the Mile End. I might buy that she makes the best bagels in Scotland.

Radio-Canada says some hospital emergencies are overwhelmed by fracture cases caused by icy sidewalks.
At 11 Saturday morning I can hear rain pattering down and there’s a freezing rain warning posted on the government weather page. An icy day for Christmas shoppers.

Charles Dutoit, a familiar name here throughout his association with the MSO, is facing allegations of sexual assault by at least five women.
Update: Brief piece in La Presse says there’s now a complaint against Dutoit from the MSO and that Dutoit has been accused by four women, not five.
Dutoit denies the allegations and the MSO is investigating.
