Flooding remains the major local story on Easter Sunday, a storyline that takes the spotlight off the central city onto suburbs and outlying areas. The army has been called in; a woman died in a car on a washed-out road; there are sandbags deployed around the north end, where the back river may be paying folks a visit.
It’s being floated* that people may simply have to move away from areas that flood in springtime.
* see what I did there
Several construction firms have been accused of false billing fraud around new construction at the Jewish General Hospital. Oddly, only QMI is reporting on this, I’m finding.
The Gazette looks back 100 years to a time when Easter was a huge spring festival here.
The Journal has a couple of retrospective pieces this weekend. The Centre d’histoire looks back at the St. Lawrence Market, which stood where the SAT is now. In sports, 35 years ago the Canadiens won a playoff match against the Nordiques that blew up into a pitched battle on the ice.

Yeah, but plenty of people would like to sink* that idea.

Those people should move, but who would buy their property? No one, that’s who. 🙁
