Gotta love Montreal

November 17, 2000 by Michael Boyle

! In other cities people complain about Christmas starting too early. In Montreal people do something about it – they organize, plan, scheme… no idle chatter here. Uh, OK, it’s completely ridiculous, doing things like smearing shop windows with baby oil in protest. But we’re an activist city – we won’t take serious matters like decorating for Christmas too early lying down! The outrage of it all! [embarrassingly, this was found via Swallowing Tacks]
