Oh hey, there’s a familiar name in the article about the party houses. What a sleazebag. Why Revenu Québec isn’t gleefully going after him is a mystery to me.

«On va resserrer encore plus nos contrôles parce que les stratégies utilisées sont de plus en plus pernicieuses.»
What’s the point? Is there something the city or boroughs have not yet tried? As long as the extant regulation does not allow municipal authorities to access information from Revenu Québec that could verify the principal residence of a homeowner, the law remains toothless. Montreal’s inability to enforce its own codes means, as it does too often, that the ultimate solution lies up river with an administration that isn’t known to have the city’s best interest at heart.
@ DeWolf: Disconcerting as well that the two complainants did not want their names in the article. Makes me wonder…
