Every time someone remotely famous passes through our air space, those plastic sycophants on eTalk Daily will find a way to glamorize it. And if someone Canadian actually makes it anywhere doing anything, if their backwater hometown […]

Montreal Spectrum to be destroyed… Help save it.

The plan is to tear down the Spectrum and build a 15 story condo complex with a Best Buy store on the ground floor… I could go on and on as to why this is an absolute tragedy, but anyone who’s seen a concert there should understand.

Quebec’s Big Owe stadium debt is over

Well, at least we have a great baseball club playing there now, oh wait, that’s right, we don’t:

the dollar cinema

It’s a bit of a trek if you are taking the metro (Namur station on the orange line then a bit of a walk to the mall that seems like you are going to Ottawa) but worth the opportunity to see the films you may have missed when they were in their limelight. The Dollar […]

Beauty-full Breaky

spot located at 93 Mont-Royal W (and Saint Urbain). Beauty’s breakfast and brunch spot appears unassuming from the outside, if you can ignore the lineup outside.
