I’ve just discovered Protégez-Vous’s Hein? page, which collects bizarre packaging translations, mentioned today by Jean-Dion in Le Devoir. Warning: you may LOL.

A man and two kids were found dead this morning in Ville-Émard (although do we need to have the exact location pinned on a Google map?). The 72-year-old father of two small kids (their mom is 33) would appear to have committed a murder-suicide.

A slab dropped out of the roadbed of the Mercier Bridge yesterday, forcing the closure of one Montreal-bound lane till it’s repaired. Infrastructure – how does it work?

Andy Riga revisits the perennial issue of what to do with the Olympic stadium, with a sideblog listing thoughts from readers and a selection of images.
Ironically, anyone who spends time out there will know that the surrounding concrete is actually the part of the thing people constantly use. Getting rid of it, turning the area into more of a park, might make the place look prettier on paper and for the folks who spend an hour out there on a tour, but planners should spend time out there before writing off the concrete as of no use to anyone.

National Post writer mocks the failure of a plan to convert Mirabel Airport into a theme park but mentions, almost as a footnote, that the airport continues to operate for cargo and for the construction and testing of jet engines. Considering the recent fuss about noise at Saint-Hubert airport, having a working airport as far out as Mirabel is an asset to the city. Long-term prediction: the time may come when the place gets fully revived as an airport.

Especially because there’s so much greenspace near by, the botanical gardens and parc maisonneuve just across the street. If the city is going to turn any areas into parkland there are many places that need it more.
