Why no Michelin Guide for Montreal?
The Gazette’s T’Cha Dunlevy asks why there’s no Michelin Guide for Montreal when both Toronto and Vancouver have one. I’ll spare you plowing through the article: a city has to pay Michelin a sizable bribe, that’s why.
Nothing wrong with Dunlevy’s article, but I’m finding it nearly impossible to read Gazette pieces now, it’s like picking a path through a swamp, with fragments of article separated by huge, intrusive and often animated ads.

Totally agree about the Gazette. You would think the smarter digital strategy would be to create a good experience for paying subscribers (as the Guardian app does; for a modest fee, you get an ad-free version–well worth the money). But no.

Totally agree that the Gaz is becoming unreadable because of the ads and videos. The worst part is the auto-refreshing ads, which makes the text on the page jump while the ad frame zeroes out and then reloads. It’s even worse on a tablet.
