Here's a gloomy omen: the ceremonial inauguration of the new Laval Metro extension today was marred first by a union protest and then by the death of a worker from a heart attack.

Radio-Canada has an archive about the Metro, and the Gazette has a sour look at whether the new extension was worth the money. (Short version: they don't think so.)

Rides will be free on the STM this weekend as the new stations open for public use Saturday morning.
