Court Sides With Peter Doig in Bizarre Authorship Lawsuit An Illinois judge found an art dealer, a former corrections officer, and their lawyer liable for $2.5M after they sued the artist over a work he denies creating.

They describe this as a bizarre story and they are right.

Work in progress on rebuilding the ex-Royal-Victoria hospital.
A new public belvedere will be one of the outcomes.

That's a $700,000 gazebo.

These things can drive neighbours insane from sleep deprivation from jingling all night long.
They're downright evil.

Visitor from Manitoba to Montreal still has the winter tires on their car.
They don't call Winnipeg, Manitoba "Winterpeg" for nothing.

Montreal has ben working super-hard making safe bike paths/bike lanes/express bike routes to build a safe active transportation network.
City hall opposition party mayoral candidate and all-round evil gorgon wants to tear out the bike path network, to make more room for cars to flood the streets.

La production de canneberges risque de vider des rivières Un rapport interne du ministère de l'Environnement du Québec anticipe une trop grande pression sur l'eau si tous les projets de cannebergières sont acceptés.

Rivers going dry bc cranberry harvesting needs a lot of water to float the cranberries.

Boxton built 15 miles of protected bike lane in 2024.
That's not enough, say people who want safety.

No Canadian film on this list.
The great Canadian film that defines our nation has yet to be made.
"Strange Brew" is not that film. Nor "Elvis Gratton."🙄

Two one-way streets with bike-lanes for "riding against traffic direction" meet here.
Riders coming towards me here often want to move into my bike lane, bc they think "I must ride inside the lines," do not understand that this bike-lane is for cyclists travelling opposite to car-traffic direction.👈

CN's Central Station, tho, not on that list.
Nice inside, a marvel, really, but outside it is actually nonexistent.
Nonexistent?
Ask anyone who has tried to find the entrance!

Ramp is unusual in Montreal.
Connects Chateau Champlain/Place du Canada buildings to ground level of downtown.
Escarpment slopes downhill here and nobody wanted to make people trudge up and downhill.

Pointe-à-Callière museum's tower has a free lookout/belevdere deck at the top.
You don't need to pay admission to the museum to visit it.
A+ hidden gem of Montreal/Old Montreal/Vieux Montréal.
