- A woman has made the point that a parking ticket on one's car can expose one's private information to passersby, so the police will change their methods.
- A woman in Pointe-aux-Trembles saved her seven kids from a fire by tossing them out of a window into the snow. There were a few injuries but everyone lived.
- Another blizzard is expected to bring between 15 and 30 cm of snow tonight, depending who you read, adding to borough budget woes; snow dumps are already full up.
- Sports Illustrated says fans of the Canadiens are the best in the NHL based on a poll of players in the league.
- This week's language news has been a dizzying collection: more immigrants choose French as a second language, French is losing ground in Montreal, kids are worse at French in school, and in general the situation is hard to pin down. (In this blog I glance at language issues because they inevitably come home to roost in Montreal, but it would be a great blog idea for someone to examine news and opinion on that issue if they could do so cool-headedly without bias. Mind you, that's a tall order.)
