Media are marking the 75th anniversary of the disastrous Dieppe raid on Saturday; CBC tells how the Fusiliers du Mont-Royal lost many men among the nearly a thousand Canadian troops who died trying to take the port back from the Nazis.
La Presse, rather feebly, tells about commemorations being held elsewhere but handwaves the local situation with “Des cérémonies commémoratives sont aussi prévues au cours de la journée à Montréal.” The Gazette has those details and CBC explains how the park at the tip of Cité-du-Havre is being renamed parc de Dieppe.

Hah! Well sourced article.
““Notre Dame Street is Montreal’s most interesting food and drink strip,” says chef David McMillan, owner of the celebrated Joe Beef, Liverpool House, and Vin Papillon.”

The video notes that Anthony Bourdain is a fan of Au Pied de Cochon, “which specializes in traditional Québécois fare,” but the background image is of the Paris restaurant (no relation to Martin Picard’s). The depicted resto’s awning even says à Paris. Sloppy.
And, the pouding chômeur and sugar pie aside, I wouldn’t consider the APDC’s fare to be traditional either.

There’s a sign up at Prince Albert at Sherbrooke Street in Westmount saying an Aux Vivres is coming, “Fall 2017”. Almost adjacent to the Dairy Queen. (There had been Dunkin’ Donuts in that block years go, but it didn’t last long.). Maybe this will last longer than the grilled cheese sandwich place a few blocks west, that didn’t last long. “Noble Bean” is the only brand of tempeh I’ve ever had, but then I vaguely new the founders Allan and Susan decades ago.
Did the Deli Sokolow employees get paid yet? They were owed money after it closed months back, the Wobblies were out picketing. That’s a story I’d like to hear more about. I can’t imagine putting all that money into, getting the place started, only for it to fail.

Apparently they were not paid and CNESST is pursuing the owner in court.
