Part-time Montrealer killed in Beirut
A man who lived partly in Montreal and partly in Lebanon was killed in the Beirut explosion on Tuesday. A lot of folks in Montreal have family connections there.
Update: On Facebook, the mayor posted a photo of the three city hall flags at half mast and a statement about honouring Wednesday’s day of mourning.

I spoke this morning to a man I was working with till March, who’s been here for decades but has siblings and other family in Lebanon. He says many people are injured to some extent because so many windows were shattered. Two of his nephews were hurt but none of his folks are dead.
