The lurid history of sexual predator Stephan Probst, who suicided last month rather than face multiple charges of rape and sexual aggression, was revealed in court this week. But the charges have been dropped because you can’t try a dead man.
Probst’s girlfriend Wendy Devera is still to be sentenced after her conviction for participating in a rape with him in 2020.
The top balcony of a classic triplex in Hochelaga‑Maisonneuve collapsed on Wednesday afternoon, injuring a woman standing on it. As TVA notes, she was fortunate that it dropped onto the second‑floor balcony rather than pitching all the way to the ground.
Oddly ironic. The floor collapses, but the railing meant to keep you safe is still solidly in place according to the photos in the article.
Oof. You can see from the photos that at some point they redid the balcony and didn’t install a header board, but were relying on the rotting joists coming out from the interior.
I’ll bet the interior floor sags too.
I bet the rent increased every year, too.
The population of Quebec is expected to fall by 0.9% by 2030.
It is just me or is the ISQ always making dubious projections? Back in 2021 they were projecting a sharp long-term decline in Montreal’s population because they were extrapolating from current trends — deep in Covid — which of course changed quickly once pandemic restrictions were lifted.
Montrealer Luciano Frattolin, accused of murdering his daughter, has been denied bail in New York State.
Quebec’s Superior Court has ruled that protesters must continue to stay a minimum 50 meters away from the doors to abortion clinics.
It’s been a while since I saw those dopes in Parc LaHaye, as people started counter-protesting whenever they showed up.
The clinic I go to is in a building with a Morgentaler clinic on another floor. So far, no sign of any protest nearby. But I remember the Parc Lahaie ones, as I used to do some work in a studio upstairs at the corner, overlooking the park, which would have been a nice view except for them.
Yes, Lahaie. My phone’s autocorrect mangled it. I saw some anti-choice dopes at Sherbrooke ond Pie-IX on Fête St-Jean, some trucker cap guy with his visibly embarassed teen daughter… but those are the first I’ve seen in years.
