Earlier this month, the city said that snow removal was hampered because drivers were not always moving their cars. It was a ridiculous joke of an excuse, but given the sheer size of the snowfall, we let it slide.
This week, the city is saying that the snow removal from the second big dump will be slower than usual because of the impending warm weather and rain.
What a freaking joke. Montreal is a city of excuses. It seems to be that anyone with a modicum of ambition and drive has long left the city. I am not sure of this yet, but I think this time next year, I might no longer be a Habitant, unless, of course, the Habs lure Alexander Ovechkin, at which point I’d have to reconsider. Read that on Canada.com. It’s a good thing the owner of the Montreal Canadiens is an American, otherwise I doubt this would ever happen. Yep, I said it…
Montreal, the city of big dreams but small thoughts… and many excuses.
