@JeannieLee88 @ianhanomansing Happy retirement Jeannie I hope it is as much fun as mine has been so far.

I came to Canada with no English & no French & few resources except parents who worked doggedly so I could do the improbable To break into a tough biz with zero ins; work for a national news network for 32 years AND get this nod from the best @ianhanomansing⁩? Oh, Canada! 🇨🇦

@caj @fagstein @Aaron_Derfel Congratulations Aaron..well deserved.

And our top award, the Don McGillivray Award for Investigative Journalism goes to… 🏆 @Aaron_Derfel, for exposing egregious failures at the Lakeshore Hospital in Montréal. We salute you, Aaron. Well deserved. #cajawards

@LGrahamCTV @CTVMontreal @CJAD800 It was always a delight to work with you. I wish you a great next phase of your life.

I am used to delivering news, not being the news…but yes, after over 25 years, it’s time to retire my weather clicker, so to speak. Thank you ⁦@CTVMontreal⁩ and ⁦@CJAD800⁩ for a wonderful career and thanks to all of you for your support. 🙏🏻 montreal.ctvnews.ca/longtime-weath…

@ToulasTake It is sad, another childhood memory going. It used to be a big deal to take the streetcar and bus from Park Ex to swim there on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Oh, this makes me sad. I’m a huge Art Deco fan and I bike by the Verdun Natatorium all summer long. We talk the talk, but we never really walk the walk with our heritage/older buildings, do we? Le Natatorium de Verdun promis à la démolition | La Presse lapresse.ca/actualites/gra…

@TerryDiMonte @MaccaJess Happy anniversary Jess and Terry. I wish you many more of them just as happy.

4 years ago today, in the shadow of a mountain in BC, @MaccaJess said "I do" and my world completely changed. The adventure has been wild & great sweetheart. I love you so much. Happy Anniversary 🥰🩷🩷

@fagstein But was it any good?

One second into Citytv's Law & Order spinoff, we already have a crime against pronunciation of Canada's largest city.

@eliasmakos @Cskeete Bill 96 raised the bar so that companies that were previously prepared to live with Quebec's language laws as they do with less onerous laws elsewhere in the world have decided ENOUGH!

@Cskeete So the word hasn’t gotten out yet? Or did Bill 96’s onerous rules on customer support just put up another barrier not worth the hassle for these companies.

6:34pm and Quebec is already getting excluded from U.S. Super Bowl ad promotions

@Jimimore @eliasmakos Nice try. Most States also require a federal and state tax return.

@eliasmakos Could it be because we have two tax reports to do, not just one?

@eliasmakos Then you will also have to break up Pepsico, Quaker, Standard et al

Break up the monopolies

@ToulasTake @mtlgazette Wonderful column, it made me think of the verbal Montreal dance when two people meet in a casual encounter and quickly determine which language both are most comfortable with.

“For 2024, I want a government focused on what it was elected to do: making life better for Quebecers. ALL Quebecers. A government less obsessed with identity politics & more obsessed with health care, education & housing.” My latest. ⁦@mtlgazette⁩ montrealgazette.com/opinion/column…

@CanadaPaintings @KellyGreig The Milky Way better than we will ever see in our heavily light polluted cities. Beautiful and awe inspiring

@0xgaut @aaronrand Just watching it was therapy

men will spend $10,000 on an espresso setup instead of going to therapy

@eliasmakos @mtlgazette They kept the blue square inside changing only the front page

What a difference a day makes. Thank you @mtlgazette for ending the design crime of that blue square “logo.”

@ToulasTake @jacktodd46 I agree with Jack. Enjoyed your intro column looking forward to some no nonsense reading.

@jacktodd46 Thanks, Jack!!

@TuThanhHa @fagstein I don't know about collusion but looks to me like four understaffed newsrooms cutting and pasting the same CP story

@brianlilley 20

I’ve got 22 out of 24. You?

@DMacpGaz Does that mean he wants the $28BB in equalization and transfer payments divvied up among those of us who are Canadians

@Global_Montreal The original plan active around the time the REM was announced was to add REM lanes to the new bridge. What happened? MTQ rarely changes it's plans

The six-lane span (three in each direction) will include shoulder lanes that will be reserved for buses during rush hour only. trib.al/c9Gi6OL

@AeroMarcos320 @rthrbtraveling @AirCanada Especially since the coffee cup is marked Spicejet

Great comment on long waits at SAAQ
