A rainy Sunday will be interesting for the big race, as noted on this UK Formula 1 site (and check out that crazy headline font).
Radio-Canada reminds us that it was also a rainy race day in 2024.

I didn’t realize that you can code a font to display differently if it followed specific other characters, neato.

The Gazette has part 2 of a piece on how the CAQ has attacked tenants’ rights in their time in office.

The Canadiens are an ongoing theme, Chapleau looping in Christine Fréchette, and Côté providing a sketch that tells a story; Ygreck loops in the race as well.Fréchette was also the inspiration for a call‑and‑response between Côté and Chapleau this week.
Godin throws shade on the Grand Prix but sees two victories for women.
Quebec’s cartoonists are distrustful of Newfoundland’s motives as the Churchill Falls deal with Quebec is renegotiated. Trump’s motives for forcing change on Cuba are equally unpopular while Chapleau sees Danielle Smith trying to keep the lid on a pot she put on the stove herself.
Côté draws a two-parter critiquing Quebec’s handling of the PEQ immigration program. He also has a good social observation satire this week, while Ygreck illustrates inflation.

Sex workers held a demonstration downtown Saturday, seeking safe and legal work conditions.

If you stopped reading after “Sex workers held a demonstration downtown Saturday…” you’d have a very different notion of what the story is about. 🙂

It’s been in the news that strippers and other sex workers would hold a strike this weekend, so I assumed readers would understand the statement in that context.

Should build a legal brothel on Ile St Helene… we already have all the other amusements out there.

The anniversary of the inauguration is today! May 24th. Is the park doing anything to celebrate it? I haven’t found any events listed.
