Excellent work, as always. Canada’s COI laws are a joke to begin with, but at the municipal level it’s evident they wouldn’t even matter.

Steven Guilbeault is to announce that he will be leaving politics this summer, having parted ways ethically with the Carney government over plans to build a new oil pipeline.
Guilbeault has been MP for Laurier–Sainte‑Marie since 2019.

I’ll always remember him as the heritage minister who decided it wasn’t a good idea to list the names of suspected Nazi war criminals and collaborators on Ottawa’s Victims of Communism monument, after Canadian Heritage decided to go ahead with the plan despite the historians they hired not having fully vetted the list.

As noted below in a comment by DeWolf, St‑Denis won’t be pedestrianized in the Quartier Latin as usual this summer, although there will be a couple of temporary street events. Some merchants are not happy, because they’ve benefited from the vibe of a strolling street.
It won’t be pedestrianized next summer either.

There’s a fun twist: merchants unhappy because their streets aren’t being pedestrianized?

I’ll bet my left arm a number of merchants voted against Project Montreal, who played a key role in the summer pedestrianization of Quartier Latin. The city had partnered with the SDC Quartier Latin and local merchants to launch an economic recovery plan that included seasonal pedestrian-only zones. Hope they’re crying tears of regret.

The merchants on that stretch had one of of heir own running with Craig Sauve (Sergio da Silva, operator of Turbo Haus and Le café Big Trouble, not your typical ‘merchant’ to say the least). Probably the only SDC where votes against Project were steering further left.
