While we're usually thinking of Laurent Paquin's song Chant sacré when we're buried under six feet of snow, maybe we could turn that around to be about heatwaves?
Cut your engines and crank your A/C: It's the first heatwave of the year, and it ain't even summer yet. If you're like us, you're probably melting a bit while you're reading this, so we'll keep it quick: Even though a pool to yourself out in the off-island burbs might seem like a good idea, you won't have anyone to enjoy it with. We ain't bringing a sixer out to your place in Laval, Jerry.
Instead, once the heat breaks—and it should, osti tabarnak, by this weekend—there's going to be plenty to do and see.
