In a classic Grand Prix weekend incident, a 22‑year‑old man smashed up a Lamborghini after going at high speed on the A‑15 in Longueuil.
In other news of powerful cars, CTV got hold of footage of an incident at the Ferrari dealership on Jean‑Talon two years ago. A car belonging to Luc Poirier, in the dealership for repairs, burst into flames, injuring a man so gravely he nearly died. Richard Papazian is suing the dealership, the car maker and others for $20 million. The story was really only reported earlier this month and CTV alleges a sort of news blackout at the time.

Notice the absence of facts in these brief and almost identical reports of a person getting hurt in an encounter with the SPVM on Friday. Age and gender of the victim, location in town, reason why police were called – nothing. I don’t blame the journalists – the BEI are keeping wraps on this one.

There’s the free Critical Mass for kids at 2:30pm today, from Parc Père-Marquette down to Parc Lafontaine (by way of Parc Laurier) with activities and animation. And the usual Critical Mass on Friday the 29th at 5pm at the Mont-Royal statue.

Made a million in increased value in the home, landlord still came out well ahead. It’s a good start but unless judgements like this — not just to landlords but various companies that break the law — are actually painful financially the cost of a lawsuit or two will just be built in to their costs.
