More than a thousand Algerian-Montrealers rallied Sunday at the consulate in a protest against Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s run for a fifth term as president of that country. Bouteflika is 82, is in ill health and is said to be in no shape to return to power. He’s been president since 1999.

That reminds me. some airport news from a few weeks ago that I don’t think got covered.
A new low cost airline that plans to fly across Quebec, Canada and some US destinations announced they would operate out of St-Hubert airport:

New airlines are very fragile, but this could really work well if they can actually follow through with their promises.

Oh man, do we ever live in the age of complaints.
The worst is when people complain and by the time you talk to them about their complaint (sometimes mere hours later) they have forgotten they have made a complaint.
