- Montreal is in *really* bad shape economically. The possibility
- that city officials have put up the cash to fix the F1 auto track is
- unlikely. On the other hand, the reason that we are in bad shape is
- *because* they've been cock-eyed in their priorities. Not that I wouldn't
- mind seeing the moto race.... but I like eating on a regular basis too.

- P.S. If I hear anything, I will post (this was first I heard of this rumour).
