Lachine's Victoria St. is much prized
Q: We have a problem in Lachine, because drivers use Victoria St. as an express lane when Highway 20 is jammed, morning and night.

There could be buses and trains to the West Island from the South Shore.

South Shore commuters in for rude awakening on Jan. 1
Q. I have a Reseau de transport de Longueuil monthly bus pass, and when I want to take the metro into Montreal I buy Societe de transport de Montreal tickets -six at a time -and have access to the entire metro/bus system. With the new fare changes coming in the new year at the Longueuil metro, will I need to buy different tickets other than the ones I buy now in order to access the metro system from the Longueuil station?

Hong Kong gets a grip on ex-Montrealers
Montreal has ways of holding people, and sending them away. It seemed somehow inevitable that Christopher DeWolf would leave, he being one of the most neighbourhood-conscious young Montrealers I met upon my own return in 2004, after an absence of seven years.
