Any notion we may have had about the gradual arrival of spring will be nicely filleted by the 15 cm blizzard expected to begin midday tomorrow. Wind and blowing snow, too.

I’m reading this story about biker informants but I blinked when I got to this bit:
Yesterday, prosecutor Sabin Ouellet told Superior Court Justice André Vincent the murders were carried out by the brothers for someone else but did not say Mayor Gérald Tremblay’s Union Montreal party used its majority on city council Tuesday night to defeat a motion that would protect what’s left of the Redpath mansion on du Musée Ave.
What an oversight.
Later: fixed. (But it was funny while it was up.)

In this climate, it seems bizarre that the existing plans for the MUHC hospital involve building an open-air walkway over the train tracks. Moves are afoot to build a proper metro access for the hospital, something that should’ve been integrated into the project from the beginning. The other plan is for pedestrians to walk through a parking garage – just what you need, apparently, if you’re not feeling well.

It is completely absurd that they are only thinking of this now. Who is responsible? It will certainly cost more now than it would have had were it integrated at the outset. And parking for nearly three thousand cars? What century are they living in?
