Let there be night light

Someone want to explain to me what this is? Taken at 4:20am (more than an hour before sunrise), facing south-southeast toward downtown.

Is it ... aliens? The moon? Some secret government experiment? Aurora borealis? Patrick Lagacé?

Ici on commerce en français during store hours

Seen at a store on Ste. Catherine St.

There's quelque chose that strikes moi about this image, but je can pas put my doigt on it.

Does someone understand street-light morse code?

I'm pretty sure the aliens are trying to send us a message.

Clip du Plateau

I was a bit curious why, on a bus at 2 a.m., a woman would be carrying a poster with pictures of Guy A. Lepage tied to it with white paper clips. I'd even considered asking her.

But I fear any rational explanation for this, and so I kind of prefer it to remain a mystery.

Dooo dooo gooooo!

Spotted at Cremazie metro on Oct. 3

I have seen a lot of strange things happen in the metro system before, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone decorate a cake.

One of these things is not like the other

Appareils

Can you guess which one?

Natinals

Just when you thought the ex-Expos couldn't embarrass themselves further, quickly grabbing the worst record in baseball by losing their first seven games of the season (and 10 of 11), they made themselves into even more of a laughing stock by misspelling their own name.

I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.

Here it is, your bus ride of zen

Paper with quotation on a traffic light post on St. Denis St.

Paper with quotation on a traffic light post on St. Denis St.

Sunday night on my way home, I noticed a piece of paper with a quotation on it taped to a bus stop post. I didn't think anything of it until I passed by another stop and noticed another quote on another piece of paper. In the end, there were similar pieces of paper taped on or near bus stops along the 361's route from Old Montreal to Ahuntsic.

No idea why. Naturally, their flimsy construction and unauthorized nature meant they didn't last long.

Y’a pas d’choix, y manque un bras!

You know, part of me imagines that everyone reads the Journal de Montréal like this.

Or 24 Heures like this.

There are, amazingly, hundreds more where these came from.

Oh. Canada. Our. Home. And. Native. Land.

Unionized journalists aren't the only people spreading around online petitions. Kristian Gravenor is peddling one to convince the Canadiens to have William Shatner sing the national anthem at a game.

Yeah.
