Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says part of the cultural community lacks loyalty to Quebec because some of them hailed Marc Miller as culture minister – while François Legault says Marc Miller is a shame to Quebec and Miller says he’s hurt by Legault’s words.
Pour me another, barkeep.
The trial began this week of Arthur Galarneau*, accused of murdering his parents and grandmother three years ago in what’s being called a psychotic frenzy. Both the prosecution and the defense are already convinced of his condition – what the prosecution wants is to have him declared a dangerous offender so he can remain locked up.
*There’s an old-fashioned Québécois name.
Cops want to hear from business owners in Laval if they’ve been threatened with extortion by the Chomedey Greeks gang.
“I don’t get it chief, the line’s been open all day but nobody’s called in”
Shots have been fired at two Laval cafés since that story went out. Nobody’s been hit.
The Laurentian Bank is being broken up and sold off. It was founded 179 years ago by Bishop Ignace Bourget as the Montreal City and District Savings Bank.
A teenager and a man were meeting in St‑Michel ostensibly over the Facebook Marketplace sale of a phone. The kid stole the phone and stabbed the man, but he also got stabbed in the ensuing fracas. Nobody died, but it was a close thing for the kid.
I haven’t used one as I’ve only bought one thing like this, for three dollars, but the SPVM have rooms with cameras where you can exchange goods, which would hopefully decrease the chance of something like this happening.
I’ve twice bought things in this way, both times agreeing to meet at mutually convenient cafés, and it’s been fine both times.
But I remember two incidents in my neighbourhood a couple of years ago, where people selling phones outside Jarry metro – a busy spot with lots of foot traffic – were slashed in the neck by an assailant. A suspect was arrested not long afterwards and nothing like this has happened again in the area, but it’s a reminder that it’s best to stay safe when exchanging goods and money with strangers.

Finished with the ethnic purity tests (for the moment), Legault and Plamondon turn to loyalty tests.
