Well this sounds pretty not fun. https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?qc67

Got coffee. I will survive. More importantly, so will everyone else.

and in Quebec, the politicians are either in thrawl, or interested in looking tough on crime or scared of the "union" so they either play along or make it worse. It's.. I'm tired of it and I don't understand. A million years ago a prof said to me "complex problems require complex solutions" and yet we keep doing the same idiotic, simplistic things and expect that THIS TIME it will work.

Any attempt at even the smallest accountability and the police unions basically threaten the citizens "Oh if we can't do thing X or are held accountable for thing Y, we won't be able to help you because we'll be scared of getting trouble". It's like a protection racket. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-city-police-officer-guilty-1.6691710

The moral of this story? Local shows. Smaller touring bands with local bands opening. Because I'm sorry, anything over $50 a ticket better be someone fucking amazing, or the last tour of a band that really can't keep going.

In somewhat related news, as a "I know about it because I chose it" Xmas gift I got a ticket to the Montreal Madhouse HC show. Two nights. .. 19? 20 bands? 43$.

This resale nonsense is getting absolutely, utterly totally out of hand. May 3 The Interrupters are playing about, I dunno 30 minutes from here by foot. It's a mb 1500 seat place. The tickets are NOT sold out. So, GA is $57 (which is bonkers but whatever). And RIGHT THERE on the ticketmaster site, below the $57 ticket is the a "verified resale" ticket. FOR $146. FUCK TICKETMASTER.

Snowed.

It is possible I may have said “if stupid motherfuckers are going to be sneezing without covering, I’m putting on a damn mask” very loudly. Inside voice Cameron

Dawson power is out.

Fuck. Fucking fucking fuck. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/women-montreal-apartment-shooting-1.6686680

so 6l is a very small bag. (we are trying to find a bag for the child to carry protest essentials)

I’d you read between the lines: drivers are using a small, residential street to get around even a few minutes of congestion on Sherbrooke. Another innocent killed on the alter of traffic fluidity.

Oh no. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/minor-struck-by-vehicle-in-montreal-hit-and-run-1.6683947
