By Anne Sutherland, The Gazette Benoit Labonté, borough mayor of Ville Marie, will be tabling a motion tonight that will provide for eight days of free parking downtown in an effort to help merchants in these tough economic times. He will propose that city parking meters will be free from 9 a.m. on Dec. 20 to 5 p.m. on Dec. 28. The gross loss of revenue from those metered spots will be $800,000, but Labonté said the net loss to the Ville Marie borough will be between $100,000 and $150,000. “We’re talking about one week in the year to help our tax-paying merchants, a kind of subsidy,” Labonté said. “The message we’re giving to citizens is come downtown to shop and don’t go to the suburbs.” Labonté and his Vision Montreal councillors have a three to two advantage on the borough council, so the motion is expected to pass. --

SNC-Lavalin wants to evict U.S. consulate Trudie Mason The big engineering company SNC Lavalin is trying to evict one of its tenants in an office building on St. Alexandre Street. The tenant is the U.S. consulate. It and SNC Lavalin have been arguing over who should pay for special anti-terrorism insurance on the building - an added expense since 9-11. The landlord says the consulate should bear all the cost, since its very presence makes the building a target. The consulate says SNC Lavalin's involvement in the munitions and military equipment industry contribute to the risk. The case is now before the courts.

Pas le pays - le parliament.

They wouldn't have to vote for it, they could abstain. Either way it wouldn't pass.

If relegated to the opposition- couldn't the Conservatives just table a confidence vote on Quebec seperation? Wouldn't the coalition fall apart on that?

RDI Le projet de complexe commercial « Lac Mirabel », évalué à plus d'un demi-milliard de dollars, est suspendu, faute de financement. Le promoteur du projet, l'entreprise américaine Gordon Group, affirme que la crise financière le force à stopper les travaux et à reporter l'ouverture du complexe. « À cause de la crise financière, il est impossible d'obtenir une hypothèque pour la construction », affirme le promoteur Sheldon Gordon. Ce projet, qui doit être construit près de l'autoroute 15, à Mirabel, comprend deux hôtels, un centre commercial et un lotissement. M. Gordon vient d'ailleurs de prévenir la ville de Mirabel de ce refus des banques. Il s'agit d'un coup dur pour ce promoteur, que l'on décrit comme le pionnier du centre commercial récréatif aux États-Unis, notamment à Las Vegas. Il a déjà investi 90 millions de dollars pour acheter le terrain au bord de l'autoroute 15, détourner une ligne à haute tension et obtenir les plans d'ingénieurs et d'architectes. Autre tuile pour la région, le projet français « Rêveport » reste un rêve. Ce centre récréotouristique évalué à plus de 350 millions de dollars devait voir le jour dans l'ancien aéroport de Mirabel. En attendant, l'aérogare et son hôtel restent à l'abandon. Face à ces pertes économiques, le directeur général du Centre local de développement de la Ville de Mirabel, Jean-Luc Riopel, affirme que si d'autres avenues se présentaient, il les présenteraient à la société Aéroports de Montréal.

MTL : La Nationale supprime 400 postes à son siège social

Nov. 26, 2008 15 doctoral fellowships created by family foundation of retired Intel leader A member of Intel’s founding management team, Les Vadasz, BEng’61, DSc’07, and his wife, Judy Vadasz, have pledged more than $8 million to create 15 fellowships that will recruit outstanding doctoral students to McGill University ’s Faculty of Engineering. This gift from the Vadasz Family Foundation represents the largest donation so far from outside Canada – and the largest U.S. gift – to Campaign McGill, the Montreal university’s historic initiative to raise $750 million. To date, the campaign has raised $457 million from 64,160 donors worldwide. The Vadasz Doctoral Fellowships in Engineering will support and recognize at least 15 outstanding graduate students each year in the doctoral degree program of the Faculty of Engineering. These endowed fellowships will have a profound effect on the Faculty’s long-term ability to deliver graduate education of the highest quality, and to attract and retain the very best emerging researchers and innovators. “I am thankful to McGill and to Canada for providing me with the opportunity of an education when I arrived from Hungary following the revolution of 1956,” Vadasz said. “In today’s challenging economic times, it is especially important that great universities like McGill continue to have the resources to welcome and develop young minds. This is the best way to invest in our future, and I encourage others to do what they can to support our educational institutions.” In 1968, Vadasz was part of the founding management team of Intel Corporation, where he led the engineering activities which created the memory and microprocessor products that have become the foundation of today’s computer business. Recognized as an innovator and strategic leader during his 35-year career at Intel, Vadasz held many operational and management roles and was a member of Intel’s board of directors. In his later years at Intel, he was President of Intel Capital, which has become the largest corporate strategic venture program among high-tech companies, supporting hundreds of start-up businesses. Vadasz received honorary degrees from Sonoma State University in 2006 and McGill University in 2007. “Dr. Vadasz is an outstanding role model for our students,” said Heather Munroe-Blum, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill. “His creativity, energy, dedication and record of achievement are truly remarkable, and he serves as an inspiration to young researchers and innovators to reach his level of success. Dr. Vadasz and his wife, Judy Vadasz, have already had a powerful impact on our students, with their leadership giving for many years. We are deeply grateful that they continue to show their faith in McGill – and in the importance of graduate education – with this extraordinary gift.” “Doctoral students are the motors that drive university research,” said Faculty of Engineering Dean Christophe Pierre. “By enabling us to attract larger numbers of superbly qualified students, this exceptionally generous gift from the Vadasz family will significantly enhance the quality of teaching and research at our Faculty and, ultimately, advance Canada ’s leadership in technology and innovation. I cannot overstate the significance of this support.” Campaign McGill: History in the Making was publicly launched on Oct. 18, 2007, and will run until the end of 2012. Its $750 million goal was the largest starting goal in the history of Canadian university fundraising drives. Campaign McGill seeks to raise the funds needed to attract and retain the world’s best students and faculty, increase access to quality education and enhance McGill’s ability to address critical global challenges.

That i can agree with. I apologize in kind.

Tough guy - I never called you a pansy. Unless you lined up to pat him on the back and flew his mom in? Did you? n fact I have called you tough guy twice. I said I would rather be an asshole then a pansy. That doesn't make you one for not agreeing with me. My extent of name calling would have sounded like (typing aside) C-A-T-A-C-L-A-W, C-A-T-A-C-L-A-W. Loud and slow for effect.

Tough guy. I glad you think you are George Laraque. You're the one that keeps bringing manhood into this. You're the one that called me a dick and an asshole, twice now. You never met me and you don't know me, don't threaten me.

I'd rather be an asshole then a pansy any day. It doesn't make me feel like a man, it makes me a fan.

Who cares what uniform they wear? If you want to play the respect card, it would apply to everyone. Your argument makes no sense because you draw the line arbritrarily in terms of vocalizing discontent. Don't compare it with getting physical (ie popcorn). Booing is ok, but name calling is not? Booing Habs is not ok, but booing other players is. Booing former Habs is sometimes ok, sometimes not. Maybe there should be a time limit on cheering too then? What do you think, just because he wears a Canadiens uniform that he becomes untouchable, irreproachable. He is just a player, and a shit one at that, if Markov or Hamrlik had made that mistake - more fans would have let it slide. Let's become a city of pansies, everyone should have lined up to pat him on the back and tell him its ok, these things happen. We should all chip in and fly his mom in.

On fait la même chose contre Zdeno Chara, contre la plupart des goalers opposant. Lachez-moi la BS de classe, c'est un match de hockey NHL, pas un match de hockey ATOM, ni un souper au Ritz. C'est un spectacle, un evenment, comme j'ai dit, on va voir les Canadiens gagner, non seulement un match de hockey. Si vous aller voir un group de music comme Madonna ou n'importe quoi et ils chantent mal, vous seriez en calisse? Même chose. On le sait qu'il n'a pas fait expres, on le sait que sa arrive, but too bad.

Je pense que les partisans on belle et bien le droit, même plus, l'obligation de ce prononcer. De ceux qui sont la, la plupart ont seulement la chance d'aller voir un match par année. Alors, ils ne sont pas la pour un match de hockey, ils sont la pour voir les Canadiens gagner. Si ont peut huer un joueur opposant qui nous coute un match, on peut certainement le faire contre un des nôtres.

Exactement! Voila pourquoi la CSN est completement contre.

Losers as usual. Calvillo chokes again.

C'est pas compliquer - je vous l'avez dit, le stade est beaucoup tros cheap. Pour avoir une equipe MLS, y-aurai prit un investissement de 75 millions de plus (cout de franchise + cout de stade). L'équipe aurait des revenus de 15-17 millions max, pas des profits, des revenus. Ils attendraient 20 ans avant de recuperer la totalité. De plus, des équipes comme San Jose, Kansas City et Salt Lake en arrache pas mal - ils ne survriront probablement pas a long termes.

Les conservateurs vont réduire le budget de Radio-Canada

Il y a de la place a coupé: CBC exec racks up big tab By PETER ZIMONJIC, NATIONAL BUREAU The executive vice-president for French services at the taxpayer-funded CBC is claiming almost $80,000 a year in expenses for theatre tickets, meals and travel. Documents obtained under Access to Information reveal that in 2006 Sylvain Lafrance ran up bills in the tens of thousands -- all of which apparently "conforms to CBC's corporate policy". Lafrance expensed more than $28,000 on hotels, travel and meals in 2006 -- including almost $6,000 for lunch and dinner dates with other CBC managers and executives. He ate with TV host and editor Yvan Asselin eight times in 2006 spending almost $850 over the year. "Those expenses were for business lunches with high-level managers during a full year," said CBC spokesman Marc Pichette. "Those expenses are fully compliant with CBC corporate policy ... if you compare them with the private (sector) they are very low." Travel expenses also reveal Lafrance spent $7,500 on two trips to Paris for meetings at TV5Monde, an international French television network partnered with CBC. Each time Lafrance visited Paris he stayed in a hotel that cost about $450 per night. The CBC refused to release the name of the hotel but Pichette insisted it was "absolutely not a luxury hotel." Lafrance also approved more than $15,000 in office catering for managers, employees and guests to CBC offices in Montreal. On March 22, 2006, for example, the CBC spent more than $2,300 on beer, wine, nachos and pretzels as a thank you to CBC staff who worked on the Turin Olympics. On another occasion, almost $2,000 was spent on food and drink so that CBC staff could toast the launch of a new internal computer system. "Those office catering expenses pertain to those meetings with high- and medium-level managers," said Pichette. "At all times, and for each expense incurred, Mr. Lafrance fully complies with corporate policy." The documents also list more than $33,000 in corporate expenses for CBC's French service, which were cleared by Lafrance, for benefit dinners and theatre tickets to events that raise money for Quebec-based arts and culture organizations. In April 2006, Lafrance signed off on a $10,000 bill to buy 10 $1,000-a-plate dinner tickets for a fundraiser for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. Lafrance could not attend the event so sent a senior manager in his place. He also signed off on a bill of $5,000 for a table of 10 at a benefit for a Montreal theatre called Espace Go, which a senior manager also attended in Lafrance's place. Records also indicate Lafrance regularly signs off on expensive theatre tickets for charities that range in price from $150 to $450 per person. Pichette defended the $33,000 in theatre tickets and $1,000-a-plate dinners as the duty of a "good corporate citizen." "Giving a part of our money to an annual benefit is, for us, a way to encourage those cultural organizations that need money," said Pichette. -

Italy pays 5 million - Hungary pays 5 million - Germany pays 10 million. Plus he gets 100% television ratings - of which Montreal generates the highest (10 million$ more then any other race).
