We've got a lot to catch you up on.
We know the coming new year puts renewal on everyone's minds, but all the news this past week's been a little more than coincidental: Cinema Imperial could close, Notman house could close, the old NFB headquarters could become social housing, and the design for the new Victoria hospital on the McGill campus has been announced.
The new year's also a time for nostalgia, apparently, as seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady explored an alternate reality where he had a baseball career with a new weird commercial for his Montreal Expos rookie card.
And all of that's just scratching the surface for this week's Bulletin.
Read on, and see for yourself.
