A motel on Lajeunesse in Ahuntsic was set on fire Sunday morning. Luckily no one was staying there but it took 75 firefighters to put it out.

Valérie Plante promises to double the money dedicated to the homeless, especially given that their numbers have increased since the pandemic.

This city is still putting too much E. Coli into the river. A summary: “Gérald Tremblay first announced the city would disinfect its wastewater using ozone gas in 2008, but there have been some delays in the years since. The new facility, estimated to cost around $500 million, still won’t be ready for another couple years.” In political terms, “another couple years” is the never-never.

Maybe it’ll get built faster if it was also a baseball stadium…

A new stage has been reached in the dismantling of the old Champlain, as underwater pilings and footings begin to be demolished and removed. The complete bridge demolition will take till 2024 and cost $400 million.
I wonder what it’s like when you finish a job like this. When you put up a new bridge or building and it’s all in place, you can raise a glass to the new thing. It must be a little odd to raise a glass to having removed an old one.

It’s like looking at an empty room after having taken a load of crap to the junkyard. I think it’s its own kind of satisfaction.

It’s actually really cool to see the dismantling. Every day a section is removed and demolished. They’re about a third of the way to the super structure the last time I saw.

I feel like some of Max’s comments below were meant to be posted here instead.

Not condoning his statements btw, just saying that the Pro Sports-Nationalism/War nexus is equally worth of disdain.
