Anti-Turcot folks went to a city meeting last night but got no satisfaction even to sensible questions.
Here’s my prediction. The Parti Québécois will win the next election and part of their platform will be a promise to rethink the current Turcot plan. Everyone will heave a sigh of relief. A year later (probably after a couple more expensive studies) they will come back with pretty much exactly the same plans.

2008: if you’re cycling in the winter, you can not be up to any good.
2009: police bicycle troops are created
2010: police winter cyclists starting out

Their official site is http://www.moishistoiredesnoirs.com/index.php (if you don’t put the index.php, it goes to an “under construction” page). And their other domain name, http://www.montrealblackhistorymonth.com/, doesn’t seem to work now (it worked yesterday). There are a couple of things that don’t work on the site (the twitter link for example, they have two twitter account, @blackmonthqc and @lemoisdesnoirs) but it’s complete with hundreds of events.
