Montreal tap water declared undrinkable? Champagne for everybody!

Looks like it must be Radio-Canada’s hit new show Hockey Night in Quebec. Either that or Don Cherry is a closet Quebec nationalist. Photo by Alan Hustak, taken on Victoria Day/Journée nationale des Patriotes/Day of celebrating 19th century nonsense.

Somebody finally found a use for hideous Square Viger, also known as Needle Park! Watch out for sharps, boys, but have fun. This is one of the great things about Montreal - people are always findings new ways to inhabit old spaces, giving new life to the dead. Hopefully however, this 1980s social disaster framed in raw concrete - wedged between Old Montreal, the Gay Village and Chinatown at the heart of the formerly gracious heart of what was the francophone business centre of Montreal - will be raised so the Square can be restored to its past glory.

Montreal city is a Parkour paradise!

I became officially Canadian today

I’ve never felt foreign or unwelcome in the five years since I first arrived at Dorval Airport. I chose Quebec because of its values… because of its people. I chose Canada because of its human rights record, and I chose Montreal over more attractive economic and meteorological climates because I see a special and intimate respect and love for other people here, an empathy that is in fact extremely rare in this world. I am thrilled to have my sentiments officialized by the Government of Canada, but more importantly, I am honoured by the fact that I have never been made to feel like a foreigner here. It is my countless interactions with everyday people - people who have become friends, people I have met in passing - that make me proud to be a part of this society. Merci donc à vous tous :)

Helem Montreal invited Daniel and me to march with them in the Montreal Pride Parade! :)

The best thing about Montreal is the people who live here.

So many roses in this town have lost their petals and kept their thorns. Will they live for another season or will they rot away? natalievinebergphotography: Montreal

New York Subway Crazies? Yeah, Montreal has them too. I don’t know what the deal with the gay anthem, the bal-en-blanc “Catholique” t-shirt and the Virgin Mary is. Guesses?
