I didn’t blog this Gazette piece earlier this week – it was a little too anodyne and West Islandy for the blog – but in it the subject, a retiring fonctionnaire in Dorval, makes a remark about Montreal North that has stung that borough’s mayor. She’s demanding an apology, as should the mayor of CDN‑NDG.
Gee, I wonder why this guy thinks Montreal North and Côte‑des‑Neiges are scary.

The dude as been there for 40 years and forgot to evolve with time. I bet is stiff call his assistant “his secretary” and pinch his/her butt at parties. The problem here is the Gazette publishing his answer, that was not necessary

At least he’s sort of being honest. I’m sure a lot of people on the West Island are afraid of poorer neighbourhoods, either because they’ve been there are find the non-whiteness, or density, or simple unfamiliarity, threatening, or the Gazette told them stories about what it’s like there and they believe them. This just highlights the economic inequality that divides us – having him apologize does nothing to resolve that.

I wonder whether that guy even lives on the island of Montreal.

Comedy gold?

Waiting for the mayor of the Bronx to ask her to apologize? This could go on for a while.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Stephane Plante who has been the Borough Director of NDG/CDN for 14 years would spew the same garbage. I’m predicating this on the fact that he lives in Deux Montagnes.

Santé Québec has stopped doing its Covid updates via Twitter on weekends, so the numbers in my tally box on the right (in the desktop version of the blog) will stay the same till Monday.

The promised snowstorm this weekend has been a bit of a dud, but TVA looks back at what it calls the 11 most memorable storms since 1800, not all of which were focused on Montreal. The most recent, in March 2017, was the storm that immobilized 300 vehicles on autoroute 13 overnight.

I heard that you’re less likely to develop long Covid after getting Covid, if you get a lot of rest for about 6 weeks after you’ve had Covid. But with health workers having such demanding jobs, and the healthcare system being what it is, I imagine not many of them had much of a chance to rest for long after getting Covid.
