Quebec Legal Age for Pot will be 18 - Looks to SAQ for 'Expertise' By: Bonnie Wurst / mtltimes.ca

Although the Quebec government has yet to reveal its full plan for the regulation of sales, distribution and manufacturing of cannabis - it has announced the legal minimum age to buy and consume pot will be 18 years old. As well, the sale of cannabis will be controlled by the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ).

Health organizations and medical professionals want the minimum age for marijuana to be 21 years old - because of research showing its potentially negative effect on the developing brains of youth up until the age of 25. But according to Premier Phillipe Couillard, making the age higher will not prevent youth who are already smoking pot from doing so, and instead they will continue to turn to the black market.

“What we want to do is prevent organized crime and the black market from profiting from the situation," he said to the media. He also pointed out the legal age of 19 years old in Ontario and the proximity of the two provinces, making it easy for youth to just cross over and get what they want.

www.mtltimes.ca

Rumors have it that Quebec would sell pot at around $7 or $8 a gram, which would make it competitive with the illegal market.

As for how and where it would be sold, the province would create a Crown corporation using the 'expertise' of the SAQ. Employees would be acting as 'pot counsellors' not salespeople and instead will be making youth aware of the potential health consequences of using it.

The private sector, including dépanneurs, will not be allowed to sell pot as they hoped for and instead the government will maintain control.

What exactly that entails or where the profits will go is not yet clear - but many are calling for it to go into awareness and prevention programs.

The bill on cannabis legalization is expected to soon be introduced in the National Assembly, with pot scheduled to become legal in Canada in July of 2018.

What do you think the legal age should be?

And should the private sector be allowed to sell pot?

Quebec Fast-tracks Expropriation Bill for Light Rail Transit By: Bonnie Wurst / mtltimes.ca

www.mtltimes.ca

Last May, Quebec Transport Minister Laurent Lessard introduced a bill that would allow the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec to speed up the process for the construction of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) project - a bill that would force the expropriation of land and prevent property owners from contesting it. Due to the summer break the bill was not officially put through.

As many as 163 properties would have to be expropriated, 15 of them being homes.

On Wednesday September 27th, Bill 137 was quietly put forth and adopted, regardless of much criticism and the call to study the proposal further. Even in despite of a report published in January by the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement (BAPE), raising serious concerns about potential environmental consequences of the project - Premier Philippe Couillard and Mayor Denis Coderre both announced it would still go ahead. Unfortunately, it is one political promise they kept.

Nicolas Marceau, the Parti Quebecois' finance critic, had said that people will have no chance to contest losing their homes and that Bill 137 is a 'legal bulldozer'.

Linking a good part of the Greater Montreal area, the 67km system would connect the areas of downtown Montreal, the South Shore, West Island, North Shore and Trudeau airport - with hopes of alleviating congestion in the Metro system. But many feel it would do very little and the part of the project linking the Trudeau airport, West Island and Deux-Montagnes area is a waste of money as it would cut in to existing train service - and ridership would not go up with the LRT system, as it would just be diverting riders from AMT trains. Instead, the money might be better spent improving the train lines along the route, which in turn would provide better and faster service for commuters. www.mtltimes.ca

The estimated cost for the project was $6 billion - up from the original $5.5 billion first announced. The Caisse de DĂŠpĂ´t was committed to financing $3 billion, with another 'conditional' $2.5 billion needed from the financial participation of both the federal and provincial governments - for a total of $5.5 billion then.

In Quebec's budget announced on March 28th, they committed to investing $1.3 billion in the project and 'several hundred millions for related work' - while the federal government has also promised $1.28 billion in funding.

At this point one cannot help but question why the government is in such a rush, and not taking the required time needed for a project of this magnitude in order to review the report by BAPE and other professionals - but more importantly, the concerns of its citizens.

Sears Closing in Fairview Pointe-Claire Mall By: Bonnie Wurst / mtltimes.ca

In an announcement surprising many in Montreal's West Island area, Sears Canada said it is closing its Fairview Mall location in Pointe-Claire - the only store in Quebec to be closed so far. Other stores in Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia and Newfoundland are planned for closure - all part of their restructuring plan after being granted protection from creditors by an Ontario court on June 22nd 2017.

Before filing with the courts, Sears began making changes to its stores across the country, trying to keep up with the trends their customers were being drawn to - and it required time for those changes to have an impact. Their plans are to re-

structure and emerge from bankruptcy later this year - but appears it will be quite a challenge for them.

Thousands of their employees across Canada have been laid off, since announcing they would be closing 59 stores and outlets as part of their restructuring plan with at least 14 of them in Quebec.

The store in Fairview has been an icon for many years in the West Island and a familiar landmark to many heading east or west on Highway 40. It is closure is sure to have an impact on the community.

How do you feel about the closure?

Consequently, a portion of a street was closed between 8am and noon where riders were meet. The start of the ride occured at noon and and returned at 2pm. Upon their return, they gathered behind the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs church on Wellington between Galt and De l'Église streets (Metro De l'Église) as this was a closed park for the bikes but where public passerby came to admire the motorcycles and talk with their riders. Motorcycle related merchants, music, food and beverages were present onsite. There was also a shoeshine and Barber chair on site to clean up those moustaches. www.mtltimes.ca

Montreal's commuter woes have gone from bad to worse. Something needs to be done before we all fall apart at the seams. Our public transit system is the only viable option in sight.

But it needs the tools to encourage more people to use it - and that would take some investment on the city's part. A poll in 2016 showed close to 70% of drivers are still not using the system.

Besides reducing greenhouses gases, less cars on the road, especially in the city core, would mean less traffic - and in turn reduce the stress and anxiety commuters have been facing with all the infrastructure work going on. Businesses might even see an increase in sales.

"The experiences of free public transit elsewhere in Quebec and internationally show that they have undeniable impacts on traffic flows, improving the quality of life and the purchasing power of public transit," Bertrand Schepper also said.

Free public transit in other cities have seen bus ridership increase tenfold with the initiative - and have also seen new business attracted to city centers. All over Great Britain there is some form of free ridership, from South Hampton to Manchester and beyond. In the US as well, many cities offer free rides. The city of Chapel Hill, NC provides public transportation service throughout the greater community and within the first few years ridership increased significantly.

The same positive results have been found in Australia. Newcastle in New South Wales has a free bus service that operates in the central business area between 7:30 am and 6:00 pm and Perth has free bus and train

20

trips within the city center. Even in Quebec, the cities of Candiac and Ste. Julie already offer free transit and Longueuil offers seniors free bus rides outside of rush hour. So why not in Montreal?

If the city could spend $1 Billion on a 375th party or $700,000 to renovate the Mordecai Richler gazebo (among other questionable expenditures of lately), surely they could direct funds to something that would greatly benefit its citizens.

As IRIS suggested, if Montreal isn't ready to make public transit free for everyone, they can start slowly, beginning with students and then seniors. It could bring the cost down by $107 million.

With Montreal municipal elections coming up on November 5th, this could, and should, become a campaign issue. Projet MontrĂŠal and Mayoral candidate ValĂŠrie Plante are already in favor of free bus and metro service for students and seniors. "We will support that, free public transit for youth and for elders - and this is what we're going for," Plante said to CTV. Mayor Denis Coderre stated 'he supports the idea in principle, but it would be difficult to implement'. "We will take a look at it but I would suggest that in the near future to say that's it's going to be free... where the revenue will come from? I mean $620 million, we need to be realistic," said the $1 Billion party man, who has been crying out for commuters to leave their cars at home and take public transit - of which he doesn't use.

What do you think? Should free bus and metro service become a reality?

Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Place des Arts Tickets at Place des Arts box office, (514) 842-2112, and placedesarts.com

Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story, the show that inspired a generation of multi-million selling juke-box musicals including Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia, Million Dollar Quartet, and We Will Rock You, is back by popular demand!

With more than 22 million music fans having lived the experience since it opened in London’s West End in 1989, Buddy speaks an international language, and continues to thrill rockin’ audiences from 8 to 80 the world over.

Both publicly and critically acclaimed, Buddy tells the enduring tale of the musical icon’s meteoric rise to fame and his final legendary performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, before his tragic and untimely death at the age of 22. In 18 short months, the Texasborn boy revolutionized the face of contemporary music influencing everyone from The Beatles to Bruce Springsteen.

Boasting a phenomenally multi-talented cast, together they present two terrific hours of music with over 20 of his greatest hits, including the timeless classics That’ll Be the Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy and Rave On. With the

28

Big Bopper’s Chantilly Lace and Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba completing a stellar musical line-up, Buddy is a not to be missed evening of feel good family entertainment Buddy’s widow, Maria Elena Holly, says of the show: “When we opened the show we never imagined Buddy’s music and story would still be rocking stages and entertaining audiences around the world week-in week-out over 25 years later. I believe this is testament to a great show – the first of its kind – and to the enduring appeal of Buddy Holly and what he represents; a youthful energy, huge talent and creativity, combined with a determination to make a lasting impression in this world.”

Writer/Producer Alan Janes says “Audiences dance in the aisles every night to our enactment of the story of a young man whose musical career spanned an all-too-brief period but whose music will be remembered forever”.

Enter a time capsule and turn back in time to what would have been John Lennon’s 40th Birthday - October 9, 1980. For one night, the Fab Four come together again on stage, after a decade apart, performing other hits like Back in the USSR, Live and Let Die, Got to Get you into My Life, My Sweet Lord, Hey Jude, and many more hits never performed live, plus several other classics… Imagine a night that never happened, but which feels totally surreal! The original production which established itself as one of the West End’s most popular shows when it opened in 2012, and which recently celebrated its 1,000th performance, showcased the music of The Beatles from their humble beginnings in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, through the pinnacle of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces.

11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale WEDNESDAY

October 4, 2017

MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair.

That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home.

If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.
