  There isn’t a lot of live news Monday but there are retrospectives.

  CBC has a 2018 news quiz.

  Eater has several summaries about dining out in town, notably the closures and the complaints from critics. (The one that irks me here is from a La Presse an Eater writer: “Why is salmon tartare still a Montreal menu staple in 2018? It was out-of-date years ago, let alone now.” Maybe it’s still on menus because people like it and keep ordering it. Critics should remember they’re assessing restaurants as a service to their readers, not to show off how cutting-edge they are. Anyway.) Eater’s got more retrospectives as well.

  The Gazette looks at four medical breakthroughs made by Montreal researchers this year and Global does sports stories. Radio-Canada ponders the public figures who died in 2018, both local and worldwide.

  Also from the Gazette, a list of all 32 homicides with some details on each.

  Le Devoir has quotations of the year.

    @Kate did you start putting ads on the blog? I saw this today

    Not that is bad or anything, was just a little surprised.

    dhomas, I’ve just started it as an experiment and haven’t yet tuned it up. I don’t intend to have ads in the middle of posts as you saw today – just one in the sidebar for the moment. Hang in there – it won’t be overwhelming.

    I want the blog to at least pay for its own hosting if I can manage that.

    The salmon tartare complaint is from Mallory Frayn, an Eater contributor, not someone at La Presse.

    You’re right, Joey. I was reading it as if the names and affiliations were signatures to the quotes, but they’re on top. Thanks.

  As in previous years there will be an open-air New Year’s party with fireworks in Old Montreal Monday evening. Urgences-Santé is standing by.
