[URBAN NOTE] Five Montréal links: weather, coyotes, archeology, Mies van der Rohe, Doug Ford

[rfmcdonald]

• The scale of the heat wave in Montréal this weekend is not to be underestimated. CBC reports.

Montréal, like so many other cities and regions, now has coyotes. CBC reports.

• Archeologists working at Peel and Sherbourne, in downtown Montréal, are continuing to recover remains of what may be an Iroquois village. CTV reports.


• Jérome Delgado at Le Devoir takes a look at the Mies van der Rohe-designed service station on Ile-des-Soeurs.


• This Martin Patriquin column in the Montreal Gazette praising Doug Ford for his reduction in Toronto city council's size, arguing this kind of reduction is needed on the island of Montreal, made me raise my eyebrows.
