The article on installing bollards to prevent thieves from stealing people’s vehicles is too much to expect of any property owner.
I must be naïve to think the solution to all this theft is to tighten the controls at the prime export location, the Montreal port. Can it be that easy to load thousands of vehicles into containers and ship them overseas? Does it not raise concerns that the port authority is in some way negligent or, in my view, a prime component of this network?

Junos highlight our inclusiveness
The Junos, held on the weekend, represent a slice of Canadian life that is not always appreciated by those who voice nostalgia for an era that was predominantly white, straight and fixed on mediocre rock bands but not really inclusive.
It was compelling to watch the full musicality of Punjabi, First Nation, Black, and LGBTQ2S rounded off, CBC-like, with more traditional Canadian Music Hall of Famers. The contrast with the Grammys was evident, though the United States does the big events truly huge.
But the youthful Haligonians surrounding the stages for the Junos have accepted inclusiveness as normal. The teary-eyed joy we witnessed from the parents of award winner Talk was all confirming. We appreciate good music, wherever it comes from, but this was Canadian music in all its forms and strangeness and glory in every expressive way.
Thank you, Junos and hosts, for confirming our great leap forward.

Wouldn’t it make sense for Ottawa to have a small museum to pay tribute to the extraordinary work and dedication of our prime ministers?
