Re: Montreal has no mayor: Tremblay resigns due to corruption.
I've heard of homeowners being harassed/threatened by roving construction crews on the construction holiday for daring to perform home renovations during that period.
For those that are unaware, the construction is a set of two 14-day statutory holidays for only the construction industry. Between the two it covers 28 days, although it may overlap some existing statutory holidays.
Wow, that's funny, I have not heard, or witnessed that. And yes, 2 sets of 2 weeks of statutory holidays. That doesn't bother me as much as no night work EVER on our worse-than-3rd-world-country-roads. Our freakin' int'l airport highway has been under construction for how long now? How much longer? Slated to be finished in 2016? The best, absolute best is the length of time to complete a perimeter highway. 30+ years, slated to be complete this year. WTF? Nothing will change until such time the thieves are tarred and feathered then sent packing. I was in a good mood, I swear.
The construction holiday is pretty stupid as a lot of these guys work only seasonally. Who needs two weeks off in summer when you only work half a year?
