- Chris DeWolf has a really nice survey of ethnic media in Montreal, from the venerable Corriere Italiano (site not live yet) to the site and newspaper serving the small Japanese community here.
- Sketch of a Korean-run dépanneur in Saint-Henri; interview with filmmaker Yung Chang of Up the Yangtze; indifferent review of Taiwanese veg resto Yuan.
- The really quite old building at the southeast corner of Saint-Laurent and Sainte-Catherine was demolished this week, but there's no very clear idea how the city plans to proceed with building something new there.
- A detailed look at Josée di Stasio, Quebec's cooking show vedette, with recipes; a consideration of Toronto as a gastronomical town, also with recipes (pheasant and truffles?!) and addresses; food diary from the Lumière festival.
- Bob Gainey's jersey number is to be retired tonight in a ceremony before the Canadiens' match with the Columbus Blue Jackets. There are retrospectives on the man's career and his toughness.
- There's also a lot of talk about Gainey's scheming to get the team a star forward before the trade deadline: the Journal has an entire dossier on the subject.
- A look at the Yiddish language as spoken by Montreal's Hasidic Jews. (Here we go again. "Montreal has one of North America's only Yiddish theatres." Either it has the only one, or it has one of the few. This solecism bugs me because it always sounds like the writer thinks it's the only one but hasn't bothered to look it up.)
