Montreal

Good morning everyone! Woke up this morning to a $.77 US Canadian dollar and 87 cents a litre gas. Can't have the good without the bad I guess and now it seems Premier Charest wants to call an election in December. Only problem is 7 out of 10 Quebecers don't think it's necessary! Maybe he didn't check the voter stats from the last Federal election a few weeks back! Had a great visit with Lara, Chad, Phil and Fer in Montreal this weekend after coming back from the property. Marie and I went out to cover up the camper for the winter and enjoyed the peace and quiet for the last time this fall. Stopped off in Montreal for dinner and a visit with the kids before heading back to Ottawa. Sure wish the drive between the two cities was more interesting though. It's gotta be one of the most boring roads in all of North America! Maybe what we need are some billboards welcoming one to the Nation's capital and all the cultural and historical sites available. At least it would keep one's mind occupied since the Ontario governent is considering banning all cell phones, blackberrys and even GPS systems. How the heck are you going to stay awake?.. Have a great week and keep those hands on the wheel! gws
