Anne-France Goldwater wants to save the dog that attacked six people last month including four kids. Not surprisingly, the dog was meant to be euthanized, but Maître Goldwater thinks otherwise. Is she perhaps offering to adopt the creature?

A truck smacked into an overpass on Papineau at Des Carrières, Tuesday afternoon. Nobody got hurt but Papineau was closed to traffic for awhile.
In tangentially related news, an overpass in Vaudreuil-Dorion has been closed because it’s in uncertain condition. People can still drive under it, though I can’t make out what incident is illustrated here.

City hall opposition wants Montreal to declare a motion against Doug Ford’s plans to cut down Toronto city council. I haven’t followed this story on the blog because it isn’t happening here, but most news readers will be aware of Ford’s plan to invoke the notwithstanding clause to enable his putsch against Ontario’s biggest city – and we may soon be facing a similar move by François Legault here. Legault’s intention not only to do a Ford on Montreal’s council but reduce the influx of immigrants that power this city could damage Montreal in a way we have not seen since the last century.
If Justin Trudeau is faced with new, powerful right-wing premiers willing to invoke the notwithstanding clause to enforce policies hostile to democracy, I wonder what he will do.
Update: Montreal’s council voted unanimously to condemn Ford’s action.

It was a tempest in a teapot in 2015 when the Coderre administration constructed a pointless half-sidewalk on Brébeuf alongside Laurier Park, but now the city is going to undo that decision and rebuild it normally.

QMI says both Quebec and Montreal had been aware of the arsenic emissions in the east end since 2013, but the company accused of doing it was never fined nor were nearby residents warned about it.

TVA has been researching projects done for the 375th that have gone nowhere, and discovered in Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève a fancy new hall only used twice a month for official purposes and never rented for public events as had been promised. A few other dead-end projects are mentioned toward the end of the piece.

A replica of the Jacques-Cartier bridge was built out of cardboard this weekend, and then taken down – although not burnt, as I hoped they would.
