Deplorables in the news
Not one but two recent stories of deplorable behaviour by locals have circulated internationally: the racist tirade in the Nuns Island grocery store made the Daily Mail and the plane party people the BBC and the New York Times. I could cite many, many more from other sources in other languages. Let’s just say they don’t reflect well on us.
Update: I see the UK Independent also has the story – filed under US Crime News.

I heard someone on a podcast say that the party plane thing was a typically Quebec news story. I was worried about that, the story reflecting bad on other Quebec residents.

This Awad guy is truly a special case. Not only can he not bring himself to apologize for the behaviour of his group, he seems to be spending his time planting self-aggrandizing drivel like this on the web:

“Working tirelessly to get everyone back home safely as quickly as we can” indeed. I’m embarrassed to share the planet with this freak.

Ok, I’ll stop spamming you with this crap now.

This is the type of empty jargon filled nonsensical articles in magazines like Ocean Drive that enable start-ups like Theranos.
