New York Times Also Reporting on Montreal City Hall Corruption

The media is abuzz because the prestigous Economist magazine had an article this week entitled 'Water and Grime' about corruption related to the awarding of contracts at Montreal city hall.

It's been largely unreported, but the New York Times also had an article about corruption in Montreal city hall, yet it's been curiously unreported.

........Wait a second, now I get it.

This article was written in another '09 year, actually 1909, just about 100 years ago. WOW!

The judge's report recommends that the number of elected Montreal officials be reduced.
Sound familiar?

plus ça change, plus c’est pareil!
