Whale still seen off the Old Port
There’s concern about the humpback whale in the Old Port, because she’s out of her normal habitat and could be getting weaker. But there seems to be no safe way of chivvying a whale in the direction you want it to go.
Why she’s here remains a mystery.
The Journal claims a humpback was seen near here in 2012, but Global’s piece leads with the statement that this is the first time such an animal has been recorded off Montreal.

She’d be a hell of a new attraction for the Biodome but I think they’d have to turn the Big O into a pool

I saw the whale yesterday. I hope she’ll be all right.

I can’t help thinking, if she just wanted to loaf for awhile, couldn’t she simply ride the current back downstream till she got near Tadoussac? But maybe whales don’t loaf.

She came to warn us! Yes, she is a renegade whale from the future: the others didn’t want her to come back to prevent H. Sapiens extinction.
