Sorry to deceive, but no, Montreal's not going to plan some grand Halloween event just yet—but bear with us, we'll get through this analogy.
Did you hear those emergency sirens go off yesterday? And then maybe you enjoyed a sunlit break in the week-long grey skies? Then you saw stories of protests in the streets, but then someone called you up to go out for a drink and catch up? University tuition is going to double at anglo institutions, but then St-Viateur Bagel's Morena family went on Family Feud?
It's all ups and downs this week, twists and turns, brief moments of calm before something or someone pops out at you. Montreal is, in fact, a great big haunted house right now (see what we did there?).
