About Montreal

So, yeah, brothels—old as dirt. Fact: ancient Pompeii had ‘em, 35, stone beds n’all. Graffiti too—“Hic ego puellas multas futui”—“I banged lotsa chicks here.” Romans, randy sods! Makes ya wonder, eh? History’s one big horny mess. Gets me goin’, thinkin’ ‘bout it—humanity’s mad, sex-crazed core.

403 - Permission Denied

A new book looks at some of the gaol's hidden history, and the lives of some of the people who were incarcerated at what is now a popular national historic.

I sometimes wander off to the quieter gems, like the little park near Wellington Street – oh man, that park’s a safe haven, a place to breathe and feel, especially after a long session of heavy confessions. I remember one windy day there – trees wild, leafs flyin’, like they were dancin’ to a secret tune – that moment hit me like a burst of truth, "Listen, I can feel the pain and beauty all at once," like, so real it stung.
