By: Bonnie Wurst / mtltimes.ca
fter decades of rumours and just talking about it - it's finally official. Today, Friday April 9th 2018, Premier Philippe Couillard, joined by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mayor Valerie Plante, made the announcement that the Montreal metro’s blue line will be extended. The 5.8 kilometres extension of the metro in the city's end will include five stops through the boroughs StLÊonard and Anjou (roughly lining up with Jean-Talon Blvd, with stations located on Pie-IX, Viau, Langelier and Anjou) and will be mostly financed by the Federal and Provincial governments - with the city of Montreal expected to contribute about 10% of the total cost estimated to be $3.9 billion. A few weeks ago, Pierre Arcand, Treasury Board President said that some work had already started, with exwww.mtltimes.ca

Guinness beer is more than just a great beer it cleans and nourishes skin
GUINNESS BEER – Toting a beer into the shower may not be on everyone’s agenda, but perhaps it should be. Not to drink necessarily, but to cleanse and nourish the skin. We love our Guinness soap, called Irish Stout Oatmeal Soap. Not only is it great as a body and face soap, but it also serves well as a shampoo for the hair. Beer and especially Guinness, contains natural anti-oxidants*, making the hair softer and more voluminous. When we make our beer soap, it is necessary to allow the beer to become flat before mixing. Same idea, if you wish to rinse your hair with the pure Guinness, it should sit for an hour or so before using. You can wash as usual and then rinse with warm water and beer. Since beer contains B vitamins, hops, saccharides and yeast, it acts as a natural moisturizer. After cleansing 4
with the Guinness soap, some people do not need to moisturize, or at least need less. Beer helps clear the skin of acne. The brewer’s yeast in Guinness will attack the acneic bacteria on the skin and reduce the oily secretion from the sebaceous glands. Beer not only clears the complexion, it also treats dryness and smoothes the skin texture. Beer would be a wonderful addition to our popular Clay Neem facial mask. Once again, if you do not wish to invest in the actual beer, try our Guinness soap! We stand behind our products. We give great customer service. Visit our online store: natural.ca .

Free Report Reveals How to Avoid Getting Stuck Owning Two Homes
WEDNESDAY
April 11, 2018
MONTREAL - West Island - Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first.You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It's what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it's an extremely anxious position to find yourself in. This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn't sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you never get caught in the Real Estate
Catch 22. Before you hire any professional, you should research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you'll find that most agents simply cannot make such a guarantee. To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled "How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes". To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.WestislandGuaranteedSold.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-727-7105 and enter 3005. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to find out how to guarantee the cash sale of your home.
