Every shadow starts in the light....

....even if you are groping in the dark.Saloo toot mond.Way,say m'way le grow tet karay!Thats right sportsfans.This is the place.Somewhere everyone can come to when they wonder why they left La Belle Province or to shake thier heads at why they've stayed so long.And now that we have been recognized as a nation within a nation(along with Labrador,Cape Breton,Toronto's Tent City,and those sixteen guys in northern Saskatchewan who have stopped wearing clothes...)things are only going to get better.Allow me to be your guide to the things Canadians never really find out about life in La Solitude.
This new Blogger format is soooo much better than MySpace.Three months of posting and commenting there got me three friends:A scientologist,a guy from L.A. who sent me a picture of his lost chihuahua in case I find it(?!!?)and a speed metal band from east Texas called My Truck Goes Fast that want me to tell everyone about their page.I felt so loved.
The first thing I want to talk about is a very sensitive subject in the city right now and for the past few months.All you ex-pats might not know it but owr glorificus mayor Gerald Tremblay has tabled and had passed in city council a motion to rename Park Avenue.Unless something miraculous happens soon many beautiful,diverse ethnic communities will be sharing addresses on Robert Bourassa Avenue.The city says its no big deal.They changed Dorchester to Rene Levesque and there were no problems.Sure.But Rene Levesques is home to office buildings and historical buildings not a thriving neighborhood of family owned businesses and restaurants.Make no mistake,Mr Bourassa was a great polititian and deserves to be remembered.Maybe they could find a better way to honor him though.
I hope anyone who receives this invite passes it on and comments often.A tonto.
