Québécois poutine became ice cream in New Zealand, and now we're scared
Poutine, Quebec’s unofficial national dish, has made it in New Zealand, but some of the recipe’s finer points may have been lost in translation.
Giapos Ice Cream of Auckland, New Zealand, has announced it is celebrating National Ice Cream Month by serving a poutine ice cream.
The dish, for better or for worse, is not exactly what its name implies. Instead of infusing the flavours of fries, squeaky cheese curds and brown sauce into an ice cream like contestants might do on Iron -

Squirrels being evicted from Dorchester Square
Squirrels are officially rodentia non grata in Dorchester Square.
City of Montreal workers plopped two peanuts in a metal trap Tuesday morning in a bid to lure squirrels that have been gnawing at trees in the leafy downtown square.
The bushy-tailed rodents must go “due to the devastation they are causing to maple trees and the serious health risk they pose to mature trees, which could have an impact on the safety of square users,” a sign next to the trap said.

Opinion: Quebec should get rid of high school ministry exams
Many Quebec high school students, particularly those who’ve just completed Secondary IV and V, are just now finding out their marks in courses where there is a ministry exam.
These standardized high school exams, which weigh heavily in students’ final marks, are a nightmare for students and a nuisance for teachers and principals. They must be a headache for Ministry of Education administrators, too.
There are three main problematic areas: substance, slip-ups and security.

Opinion: Health centralization is opposite of what's needed
Health Minister Gaétan Barrette is currently piloting Bill 130, which curtails the autonomy of doctors and gives the health minister the right to make changes to the internal rules governing health establishments.

The reason for this governmental hyperactivity is simple: There are multiple systemic problems, especially in terms of long emergency room wait times an -

Montreal stymies plans to re-enact de Gaulle's 'Vive le Quebec libre' speech
A Quebec nationalist group is accusing the city of Montreal of thwarting its plans to commemorate a now-iconic speech by former French president Charles de Gaulle.
