The Blanche Report

Our new Champlain bridge is six years old and it's already rusting, as you can see from the picture above. Not a sexy picture, but a real one. How , you are asking yourself, is this possible. Even for quebec this is a new low. Let's start with the target life of the bridge which is 125 years because they supposedly used high-performance materials, galvanized steel etc. And it was a federal project. Which begs the question how is there visible erosion six years after opening

We could not put our finger on what was really bothering us about Mamdani's win as mayor of NYC. We know he can't put into action all the ridiculous things he promised his adoring fans. Please, free buses? Who is paying for that? Nope. That's not it. Here's part of what is: Mamdani ran using openly antisemitic slurs, said he would cut out and then axe Israeli products, companies or anything else Israeli anywhere he could. That's not even the big problem. The big problem is n

It wasn’t a surprise that Mamdani was going to be elected the new mayor of New York City. The polls incessantly showed him winning. And it’s also no surprise that he did so as an openly pro-Hamas, openly antisemitic, BDS-loving marxist-jihadist. He kept telling people that's who he was. With a smile. What’s equally unsurprising? He’s never held a job in his life. You read that right. The man has never worked a day in his life and now he’s running one of the most important c

That didn't take long, particularly for Legault who rarely says he's wrong. He actually didn't say he was wrong here either. Rather, he offered an olive branch to the doctors in the form of coming back to the table to discuss Bill 2. Of all the interviews we heard in the past few days, one doctor resonated the most. He was honest and chilling: He explained that where he is in the Gatineau area, only 3 out of 12 operating rooms are functioning because of lack of nurses and ane

As we have said here on multiple occasions, negative and mud-slinging campaigning is a dead end and turns people off. Tell people what you’ll do for them. How you will better their life. Harping on what you think someone else did wrong is a recipe for losing and the proof is in the results. In Hampstead, Mayor Jeremy Levi won by a small number, but he won, he is Hampstead's mayor and we wish him a heartfelt mazel tov. Bill Steinberg didn't come close to the word win and sho

In Hampstead: Jeremy Levi for mayor. Pay attention to the ballots. There are five of them, one for mayor and one for each councillor. Councillors:  Jeffrey Budning - Seat 5 Alan Farkas - Seat 2 Harvey Shaffer - Seat 6 Larry Zoltak - Seat 4 In Westmount: Michael Stern for mayor. In Montreal: Soraya Martinez Ferrada for mayor. Quite the 'happy' couple, eh Blanche? Not. They both look like miserable, melting ice statues. But we digress. Mark Carney is one very sly dude. Here's w
