- The return of Louise Lecavalier; the impending show of Cuban art at the Museum of Fine Arts, and a brief Q&A with a Cuban museum director; notes on gastronomical events planned for next month's Lumières fest.
- The Quebec human rights commission has agreed in two different cases that police were practising racial profiling when teenagers were fined for hanging around – outside the places where they were living. The mayor does not want the city to pay up.
- Fagstein, wearing his journalist hat, asks questions about some supposedly improved bus services; the STM makes a deal with Communauto to stimulate car-sharing; the Auto Show is on, and cycling activists plan a contrarian bicycle show tomorrow, although predicted low temperatures may discourage all but the most hardy. Urbanphoto also has a pleasantly snide piece on attitudes toward the de Maisonneuve bike path.
- The city has struck a deal on bottled water to distribute when water mains go blooie, as happened along Pie-IX a few months back.
