Faces of the Day

The City of Montreal takes their snow removal very seriously. To clear one street, the city came with two graders, two sidewalk cleaners, a front-end loader, a massive snow blower, two semi trucks and two tow trucks for cars not yet moved. It was quite the scene.

Heart Toque On Waverly Street

Inside a Montreal Muslim Mosque on Fairmount Street.

Everyone was so very welcoming to me. There was every nationality there in the room of 60 souls.

Prayer

I shared a large plate of rice, veggies and meat with two men, as we sat on the floor we chatted about the world and the art of being a better person. I left the mosque feeling very positive and charged up, the evening wasn’t about religion so much as brotherhood, friendship and love. Everyone there greeted you by looking directly into your eyes followed by a warm smile. The door is always open and anyone of any religious background is welcome.

Dealing With The Snowfall

The new parking style in Montreal, due to the recent snowfall, is now angle parking mixed with some parallel parking, where the massive snow piles allow. Everyone seems to know the drill here in Montreal as far as parking and managing the snow, but what I want to know is: if you dig out your car and clear a spot in the crazy snow piles and then someone else comes along and snags it, is that fair?
