  A metro shaped like an ashtray, so smoke comes out the windows.
  A six picture set of different pot holes. With a lovely seventh showing a street cave-in.
  A bus stop 24 clock that flashes every ten minutes, but never sees a bus.
  A beach umbrella with a price tag attached. (What were they? $58K each?)
  Green paint, so you can paint your own “green park” like the Plateau.
  A Bicycle green “walk your bicycle sign” that no one seem to understand.
  A jaywalking ticket (rare).
  A bicycle crossing on a red light ticket (rare).
  A mouse trap, signed by all the members of Project Montreal.
  Menus from all the defunct restaurants on St-Laurent, Park Avenue and Prince Arthur.
  A keychain model of Pauline Marois’s mansion, for the key to your apartment.
  A copy of Montreal’s budget, for heating homes in the winter.

  @Ephraim living in Montreal seems like a terrible burden for you, why don’t you move?

  I dunno, I found Ephraim’s list pretty funny, myself. It’s a fine line between bitching & tongue-in-cheek communally self-deprecating humour I suppose.

  @Jack – I love Montreal. Think it could be run better, much better. Same thing with the education system. Could it be a better city? Absolutely. We don’t live in utopia. But nothing wrong with laughing at your failings either.

  I would counter your walk-your-bycicle sign with a walk-your-car sign.
