Montreal is, of course, the telemarketing capital of, well, probably the country.

The problem with this is, the article states that “100,000 victims have been defrauded $45,000,000 by this organization over a period of 18 months”. Whoa. I’m in the wrong business.

The Liberal government took $1.5 million from its sponsorship program to build a giant TV screen for the Old Port of Montreal because it couldn’t find the money anywhere else.

No comment.
