One of the men who torched the Blue Bird café in 1972 has been granted full parole: he was first let out in 1983 but has had enough troubles since then to keep him behind bars. Coolopolis ran the list of victim names a couple of months ago.

It’s a quiet news morning, the main local story being a five-alarm fire last night on Laval just above Sherbrooke, which injured a firefighter and a resident. It was in a row of rather handsome buildings.

Rima Elkouri became a baker at Cheskie’s kosher bakery for a week, Michèle Ouimet worked for an erotic chatline, Agnès Gruda became an orderly at Notre-Dame Hospital. All well worth reading (although I think Liliane’s two Téléphone Temptress comics gave a better idea of the chat line life here).
