Record stores: Quebec maintains fines
Quebec is still insisting that four small record stores pay the hefty fines issued last year when they stayed open past legal closing time on Record Store Day.

And topically, today is Record Store Day, postponed from April. Actually, they’ve spread it over three days, so also Sept 26 and Oct 24.
I think the new releases are spread over the three days. But maybe this will spread the last minute rush. Or maybe it will make things worse, because the stores will only let a few people in at a time.

I know we’ve been having this conversation on Twitter too, but while these fines were issued by Quebec, not the city, Projet Montreal does control zoning & commercial property tax collection – both of which would be perfect for helping Phonopolis and the others out of this jam… unless all their talk about helping businesses in the pandemic is just more hot air.
Projet Montreal talks a good game about helping small businesses in the pandemic and fighting gentrification but they’re just good at blocking off streets, pretty street furniture, and stenciling flowers over the potholes.
Maybe the city can send over some clowns 😀
