- Quebec superior court has ruled that the STM must put out open tenders for the refurbishment of 336 metro cars. The STM had handed this contract to Bombardier last year but this was challenged by rival engineering giant Alstom, whose win is big news all over the French media.
- STM drivers are talking pressure tactics building to intermittent strike days beginning next month in an effort to speed up contract talks. It's too bad the transit-riding public is the stooge in this silly game of cat and mouse between the STM and the union.
- Weather continues to be news, with 95 km/h winds causing damage and blackouts and a 10.6°C high yesterday also breaking records and adding to the flooding that's plaguing many towns.
