  The worst roads in Quebec, and a separate list of the worst roads in Montreal, have been listed by CAA‑Quebec.

  I was in a friend’s car recently, on Jean‑Talon. The section alongside the tracks, the northern edge of TMR, was phenomenally bad and bumpy. Ironically, just west of there, Jean‑Talon between Decarie and Côte‑des‑Neiges is the location of several luxury car dealerships. It must be amusing to take delivery of your Ferrari then have the suspension devastated before you reach l’Acadie.

  That section of street doesn’t even make the CAA list.

    LOL that one of the streets on the Montreal list is “Sherbrooke Street Est,” which is like 10 miles long or something. Also kudos to the 1,700 residents of Saint-Hubert-de-Rivière-du-Loup on getting one of their streets on to the provincial top 10 LOL

  The 11 teachers involved in the Bedford School scandal have had their teaching permits revoked. They were accused of creating an atmosphere of intimidation at the school, both of the students and of each other.

  I don’t usually issue trigger warnings, but this description of a woman being subjected to a forced abortion by a fake doctor is horrifying. Just reading the headline and deck is more than enough. The fake doctor is on trial for trying to cause the abortion to a woman with no immigration status here. How she is doing, and whether she went on to have the baby, are not reported. Her partner has already been tried and sentenced.

  A fire on the 24th floor of the Maestria condo tower downtown on Monday forced the evacuation of the whole thing while firefighters contained the flames to the single unit.

  The city has adopted a new homeless camp policy which still sounds pretty vague in this piece. Where will they be tolerated? Who will oversee the boroughs to make sure they’re all acting fairly?

  TVA reports that a homeless person opened fire with a pellet gun on Sunday near a kids’ playground connected to the Botanical Garden.
