Cemetery reopens Sunday mornings
Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery is grudgingly reopening on Sundays, but only from 9 till noon, in response to public dissatisfaction with its Sunday closure since the start of the pandemic. NDN is a huge place and, up to a point, a kind of public park, and should certainly be open longer hours on the weekend.
Update: A later piece from CTV gives the same news, and cites a union rep basically confirming my comment below: the Sulpicians are cheap.
Can the city give these guys an order to keep the cemetery open every day in the daytime? Probably not, but I wish they could.

What is wrong with these assholes?

As lame as the administration of NDdN have been this pandemic, let’s save some contempt for the frou- frou spandex-wearing, $10K bicycle-riding, burial-disrespecting idiots that caused the cemetery to close to all cyclists awhile back. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if those morons were the ultimate source of the cemetery’s current anti-public-access attitude.

Max, from what I’ve seen, it’s basically that the Sulpicians are cheap.
