    The Bulletin: Smut! Air Hockey! Tacos! Corgis! Political Theatre! [Issue #144]

    The Bulletin is a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal.

    Seems like this week's theme is choreography.

    There's a careful dance you have to do to get through this entire weekend: Corgi pawrades on Saint-Laurent, David Lynch-inspired smut at Cinéma L’Amour, matcha-powered pilates in a parking lot, and one-sided air hockey competitions for reasons no one’s explained.

    You can also party in the woods with Patrick Watson, a rooftop day party with onigiri and cocktails, $8-or-less street food, and eating enough tacos to win a trophy.

    Meanwhile, the news cycle’s doing its own kind of choreography: posthumous roadwork promises, cultural revival proposals, permanent pedestrian zones, housing projects, light canopies—all magically surfacing right on cue for election season.

    Funny how motivation kicks in when there’s a vote on the line—you can watch a recent debate between candidates here, by the way.
