![The Bulletin: Sunday roasts, wrestling chaos, and lip-syncing to Christmas movies [Issue #160]](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthemain.ghost.io%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2025%2F12%2Fle-sapin-a-des-boules-mcfly-evt-04-scaled-1.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
This week's stories circle around who gets to be seen, who chooses to stay hidden, and who's watching.
A hair slon locks its doors every Monday so hijab-wearing clients can finally get a professional haircut in private, some driving from Vermont because nowhere else offers what Montreal does. A Scottish tavern honours a mother who spent her life hosting dinners and tracing family lineage back to the 1200s. Meanwhile, the OQLF inspectors swept nearly 1,000 stores with cellphones to remind merchants the language watchdog is always watching.
The weekend delivers participatory Christmas chaos for anyone who wants to shout along, wrestling for anyone craving spectacle, witchy markets for the goths, and Sunday roasts for pure comfort.
For readers who care about Montreal.
