Quebec's updated school plan What every parent needs to know At a press conference today, Quebec revealed their updated back-toschool plan. As schools scramble to get ready for their reopening in just three weeks from now, parents have also been preparing themselves - with much uncertainty towards it. The province's plan may sit comfortably with some, but surely not for all. Unlike the Federal or Ontario guidelines that go much further, Quebec has chosen to make their own rules. Jean-Francois Roberge, the province's Education Minister first addressed the issue of wearing masks. Students in Grade 5 and up will be required to wear masks. It will be mandatory in hallways, common areas, amphitheaters and on school buses but it will not be mandatory in the classrooms or outdoors during recess. Parents will be required to supply masks for their children, however teachers will be provided with them. For parents who need financial support, Roberge said they could reach out to community organizations for help, as the cost of masks can add up. "Our children and our health are our most precious things, our government

Please stay safe!

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca does not intend to compromise on these issues… closing schools is not protecting children," he said, in line with Public Health Director Dr. Arruda's statement 'that keeping children out of schools has more negative consequences than the virus itself'. Sanitary measures already in place: washing hands with soap and frequent cleaning of classrooms will be maintained. The idea of keeping students in 'bubbles' from their first plan last June has been dropped and instead, "The bubble is the class,” Roberge explained. "A class will have to stay as one unit and there will be no social distancing

between classmates". However, students from different classes will be required to keep apart from one another. Exceptions for will be made for students with serious health concerns and who are at risk, or for children who have family members with serious health issues - and a doctor's note will be be required to confirm it. School boards and service centres will then have to offer remote learning options to the children. A guide will soon be sent out to help parents with the new back-to-school protocols and will be available in English and French. As well, schools will receive guides within the next couple of weeks, with details on the measures that should be taken if a student presents symptoms of the virus or if someone at the school tested positive. The government said they wanted 'to be transparent about COVID-19 cases in schools, promising that parents would be informed of cases in their children’s classes or in their schools'. If you have any questions, you can visit the government's website or call 1-877-844-4545.

Montreal Budget: hard decisions at city hall For a second year, the City of Montreal has launched a public consultation regarding its budget.The consultation for the 2021 budget takes the form of a survey which Montrealers may respond until August 23. (The study consists of eight questions and to participate visit: https://www.realisonsmtl.ca/consultationbudget2021%20%20) The current conditions created by the pandemic may force the city administration to face hard decisions: to raise taxes or to cut services. Another option is to run a deficit, however, for this to happen, it would be necessary to modify a provincial law which now forbids cities to be in the red. Indeed, hard decisions to make. Not surprisingly, one of the questions of the survey addresses the issue of what to cut: "police services," "garbage collection," "snow removal" and "other." Given the atmosphere created after the killing of George Floyd in the US, and the rise of the "Defund the police" movement, reducing the police budget seems a natural choice. However, that might not be everybody's choice. In fact, a few months ago, people in the NDG neighbourhood were protesting the closing of a local police station. Then, the question of reducing police services is somehow more complicated: the SPVM has a lousy record regarding race relations, in particular by profiling black people. On the other hand, however, there are cases when people actually wish that an agent is on hand: robberies, assaults, rapes. Somebody has to be there to face these—genuine—threats to society.Although, by comparison to other cities, especially American ones, Montreal is indeed much safer. But crime, even on a relatively small scale, still exists and someone should be there to fight it. And this, without neglecting social policies aimed at preventing crime. But that in an area outside the • August 15, 2020

ment and collection, urban development, culture and sports. But, do we need a Bureau des relations internationales? Is it necessary for Montreal to have its mayor or other officials taking trips abroad to attend international conferences—cocktails and receptions included? What about the Service de la performance organisationnelle? Come on, you don't need such a thing. Each section of an institution—in this case the city— must perform well its job, no need for some particular bureaucratic layer reminding them to organize themselves in a right manner. And what about the Commission de toponimie, supposedly in charge of proposing names for streets, parks and other public places? Its role: to be clear that those honoured with a street name really deserve it. The city, instead, could save money on this by commissioning research on the subject to History departments in any of the four city universities. Reducing the bureaucracy, however, should be attained by eliminating or merging some commissions and bureaus, getting rid of the high-paid bosses who manage those bureaucratic structures. Rank-and-file employees who do the actual work should keep their jobs. The city survey also asks if one would agree that the city could run a deficit (something that both the federal and the provincial governments are doing at this very moment).Yes, of course. We live exceptional times, and Montreal needs to keep the right level of services. At the same time, property owners and businesses are also facing very demanding situations, which would make tax hikes the worst measure to take. The city should follow the federal and provincial examples and be allowed to run a deficit. After all, it is only money, easy to recover when things get back to normal—quality of life, however, is essential. 3

QESB win temporary suspension of Bill 40 By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca

Bill 40, an 'Act to amend the Education Act with regard to school organization and governance', created controversy when it was first introduced in Quebec's National Assembly by Education Minister Jean-François Roberge last October 2019. It was passed through on February 8th 2020, when the government invoked closure, leaving no time for the opposition parties to debate the Bill.The act would put an end to school boards in the province and replace them with 'Service Centres', taking away 'a minority community’s rights to manage and control their institutions as prescribed in Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms'. However, Bill 40 has now been put on hold for the province's nine English school boards - temporarily suspended until a final court ruling is made.

This past Monday August 10th, a Quebec Superior Court Justice, ruled that the plan raised serious questions pertaining to the constitutionality of Bill 40. He also ruled that the disappearance of English-language school boards 'constituted irreparable harm'. It was last May 15th, when the QESBA (Quebec English School Boards Association) along with coapplicants Adam Gordon (Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board Parent Committee Chairman) and the Lester B. P e a r s o n School Board, had filed for an 'interlocutory injunction and judicial review' in Quebec Superior Court. Dan Lamoureux, President of the QESBA, said in a statement on their website, “We are very pleased with the decision today which has the effect of suspending the application of Bill 40 to English school boards pending a decision on the merits of the case. Given the very limited amount of time our boards have to organize school elec-

tions, scheduled for November 1st, we are hopeful that the government will not appeal this decision.” The province's French school boards, now called service centres, chose not to contest Bill 40 and therefore will no longer hold elections for Board of Director positions. Russell Copeman, the QESBA's executive director (former borough Mayor/City Councillor and Quebec MNA for CDN/NDG), said “Justice Lussier recognized in his ruling there were serious constitutional arguments that were raised, and going ahead with the implementation of the Bill until such a time when the court has ruled on its constitutionality would represent irreparable harm to the applicants.” In reaction to the ruling, Minister JeanFrançois Roberge said during a news conference, “We are fully confident that we respect the right of the English community to manage and control their network. We will address this with our lawyers.”

Mandatory wearing of masks does not violate Charter of Rights In an advisory published by the CDPDJ (Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse / 'Human Rights and Youth Rights' Commission) on Wednesday August 12th, Quebec's decree making the wearing of masks mandatory in closed public spaces - does not violate the province's Charter of Rights. After studying the decree, the Commission said that Article 9.1 of the Charter allows the government 'to regulate fundamental rights and freedoms if it demonstrates that the restriction is neither irrational nor arbitrary and that the means are proportionate to the objective', according to The Canadian Press. As well, the CDPDJ considered that 'the violation of fundamental rights is justified in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic' and although 'it is likely to infringe

certain rights under the charter, the commission considers, based on the information currently available to it, that this limitation would be justifiable within the meaning of Section 9.1 of the charter' and that 'the restriction is neither irrational nor arbitrary and that the means are proportionate to the objective'. They note that the article allows the government 'to reconcile indiwww.mtltimes.ca

vidual rights when there is a conflict between these rights and freedoms, and that in this case, one can believe the imposed obligation aims in particular to protect the rights to life, safety and the integrity of everyone' and the 'government included measures to attenuate the possible limits to equality rights - for example, by not obliging the wearing of masks in certain cases of disability, age or social status'. However, 'the mask order must be removed or modified when it is no longer justified by the circumstances'. As of Saturday July 18th, wearing a mask became mandatory in all of the province's public indoor spaces. It included stores, bars, restaurants, concerts, showrooms, drug stores, dentist and doctor offices - basically all indoor places open to the public. August 15, 2020 •

Too Much and Never Enough by Mary L. Trump In the summer of 1983, me and my old high school friend Scott embarked upon a weekend chartered bus trip to New York City to see Simon & Garfunkel perform at Shea Stadium.We arrived in Manhattan at the crack of dawn that Saturday. After we checked into our hotel, we decided to explore the city and do a little shopping. As we were walking along 5th Avenue, Scott suggested we take a look at a relatively new building that was now part of the 5th Avenue scenery; it was called Trump Tower. At first, I thought it was a rather unusual name for a New York City building (at the time, the word “trump” to me was associated with a card game). But when we set foot in it, I was amazed at its opulent interior, especially the fountain in which the water ran down a wall in the lobby. When I returned to New York four years later, the name Trump was more than just the tower on 5th Avenue, it had a face that went along with it. It was connected to Donald Trump, the billionaire real estate magnate who was more than just a successful businessman. He was also a mega celebrity to boot, with his face on so many newspaper front pages and magazine covers and any article that had his name on it guaranteed so many copies of newspapers and magazines being sold to celebrity-hungry readers. And directly across the street from Trump Tower, the Barnes & Noble bookstore had in its display window a large multitude of copies of his just-published autobiography The Art of the Deal, which topped the New York Times best seller list; to me, this was indeed a visible sign that you capped off your respective career with flying colours. By the time the 2000s rolled around, Donald Trump was not only a name, but a brand, too. There were Trump Steaks,Trump hotels, Trump casinos, Trump Water, a Trump shuttle airline, Trump University and even a line of Trump neckties. And with the success of his NBC reality series “The Apprentice”, anyone could be successful in business if they followed the Trump philosophy, and win the ultimate prize of working for the Trump Organization and manage one of his spectacular real estate projects around the world. However, in 2015, Donald Trump decided to go political and declared himself as a candidate for the Republican Party nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.

This failure gave Fred Trump and Donald enough cannon fodder to belittle and humiliate Freddy for not being loyal to the family business, which contributed to his premature death from alcoholism at the age of 42. But perhaps the most eyeopening aspects of the book – besides the chapter that details Ms. Trump’s contribution to the New York Times’ 2018 Pulitzer Prize-winning feature about the Trump family’s history of shady business dealings – are the final chapter and the epilogue that stunningly sums up how and why her uncle Donald became such a dangerous man from the results of his dysfunctional upbringing. She believed that her grandfather made Donald a “vanity project”, in which he would enable him by throwing countless millions of dollars at him to fix any of his business projects that did not work out as anticipated, especially the ones that led to Donald’s series of bankruptcies in the early 90s. As Ms.Trump writes: “Fred didn’t groom Donald to succeed him; when he was in his right mind, he wouldn’t trust Trump Management to anybody. Instead, he used Donald, despite his failures and poor judgment, as the public face of his own thwarted ambition.” Also, Ms. Trump has this to say about the president’s inaction during the COVID-19 pandemic: “Donald didn’t drag his feet in December 2019, in January, in February, in March because of his narcissism; he did it because of his fear of appearing weak or failing to project the message that everything was ‘great’, ‘beautiful’, and ‘perfect’.The irony is that his failure to face the truth has inevitably led to massive failure anyway.” Too Much and Never Enough is a fascinating, alarming book that is practically required reading to understand why Donald Trump is the most unpresidential of his 44 predecessors as U.S. President, and how a person who grew up in a culture of dysfunction, fear and enabling is using those psychological scars to contribute to the unravelling of the American fabric. 9

Award winning Beef Stew By Chef Peter Webster of Bouquet Garni Catering

n a cold day, comfort food is needed to warm up the bones. Soups are great but nothing compares to a hot bowl of stew with a crusty baguette and butter on the side. I like to use top sirloin for my stews but the cardinal rule here is to use those cheaper cuts of meat. ( flank and blade roasts are perfect here). These cuts lend themselves beautifully to the braising process, becoming tender and flavourful as they cook in the liquid. I like to buy a large piece of meat and cut it myself rather than buying the prepackaged stewing beef. When sautéing the beef cubes, don’t overcrowd the pan. You don’t want to steam the beef, you want to brown it. INGREDIENTS: (serves 10p) • 3 lbs of beef – cut into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes

• August 15, 2020

• 3 tbsp canola oil • 2 onions, peeled and diced • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed • 2carrots, peeled and chopped • 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped (optional) • 2 potatoes, washed and diced, skin on • 1/2 bulb fennel, diced • 1 lb mushrooms, washed and quartered • 1 cup red wine or beer, for deglazing • 1 litre beef stock • Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary or oregano • Salt and pepper • Red pepper flakes (optional) In a heavy based casserole, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add in some beef cubes and brown on all sides (do not overcrowd pan). Remove the browned cubes, set aside and continue browning the beef until completed using more oil as necessary. In the same pan, add the onion, carrots and parsnips stirring and

cooking until tender, about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic, potatoes, mushrooms and fennel, stirring for another 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine or beer, scraping up any browned bits. Add the beef pack into the casserole with the stock. Add in your herbs, salt and peeper and a little of the red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a simmer on the stove top , cover and put into the oven at 300ºF. Let the stew simmer for 2 hours minimum. Taste and adjust the seasoning, skimming any fat from the top of the stew. You can thicken the stew with some cornstarch/water mixture. Comment on this article at: www.mtltimes.ca www.mtltimes.ca

Investing in your health By Joanna Wright Montreal Times

oon after my father’s death, my family began the arduous task of sorting through his financial affairs. While doing so, we discovered that he had left us with a generous amount of money through his life insurance plan. Through my grief, something kept making me shake my head, as I rolled those two little words around in my brain. Life insurance? How ironic. He was dead. There was no insurance of “life” for my father in this long term investment. The only thing that was certain is that he wouldn’t be the one reaping the benefits. Then a strange emotion began to emerge. Regret. Why hadn’t he invested in his health with this money while he was still alive? Perhaps we could have enjoyed a few more good years to share together? Did he really think I’d rather have this money than have him here beside me? I recount this story often to groups of seniors who fail to see the importance of investing

in their health. Whether it be a personal fitness trainer, a recumbent exercise bike or a gym membership, I explain to them that, in the end, we will all pay for our health in one way or another. But being proactive and staying healthy is much cheaper in the long run and much more fun. Consider the statistics. As a senior, if you are no longer able to live independently, the average cost of an assisted care living facility is approximately $1800 to $5000 a month. Most seniors who find themselves in this predicament can no longer perform the basic tasks of taking care of themselves due to weak muscles, low energy endurance, arthritic bones, or balance issues. In contrast, a good treadmill might set you back $1000. A qualified trainer $65 an hour. A gym membership $100 a month. There is no comparison. As a trainer who specializes in working with seniors, I have perfected the fine art of targeting the exact exercise movements that will give my clients the

tools to stay afloat. I once trained a 90 year old woman in her own condo until she ultimately had to accept the fact that she needed more care. She lamented to me, “I guess I failed.”. On the contrary. She had worked hard to give herself 4 more years of living HER way. Sleeping when she wanted, eating what she wanted, DOING what she wanted. I call that a success. Looking back, I wish my father had invested not for us...but for him. I miss him. He crossed his fingers and hoped for good health while diligently planning financially for his demise. I can’t help my dad anymore. But my passion and my goal as an older adult fitness trainer is to motivate, educate and guide other seniors to invest in their health today, so that their families are able to love them for as long as possible!

An acid that might bite back Alarm awake another day Put the body wash in play Focus, stretch to morning cleanse Squish the pump. Squirt away Bubble lather aims to clean Gentle soothing grapefruit sheen Promising a glow skin shine Is danger lurking? Quite unseen? Ready now to face the day! Although quite polluted. Sad to say By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

Our skin often feels it could use a little help. This typical morning cleansing ritual described above would not occur if you truly knew what you were doing. Body washes are in. They smell great. Affordable. Functional. What more should one ask for? How about asking for a cleanser that does not contain so many unwanted toxins? While not all body washes contain salicylic acid, some do. Salicylic acid. AKA: The pimple destroyer. Salicylic acid is listed under the medicinal ingredients on a label, separate from the others. But do read both listings.The rest are generally not desirable either. Salicylic acid goes deep into the

skin and does work for targeting acne, blackheads, whiteheads, all the nasties. This is why it is popular. But there is danger involved. Let’s look at one product that does contain salicylic acid. For exfoliating and cleansing. I couldn’t resist the name. ‘Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial’. Clever, creative marketing. ‘Drunk Elephant’ conjures an image. T.L.C. is most nurturing. Sukari means sugar which is addictively delicious. Sukari also rhymes with Safari where we again can visualize the drunken elephant.‘Babyfacial’ rings of softness, soothing and safety. But ‘Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial’ is, thankfully, not for babies. It is for us. It contains salicylic acid. At the time of this writing the cost was $140.00 CDN on Amazon. A rather expensive and toxic adventure, no? Apparently, not even allowed to be sold in Canada as it is too strong. Kudos Canada. But online seems to work. The name might get you. The cost may not be an issue. But perhaps the risk should be. Dermatologists do give warning when prescribing salicylic acid medications. If you decide you want to try salicylic acid, make sure you are under some guid-

ance. While known for acne, it is also a powerful exfoliator. For some, maybe too powerful. There are side effects of this acid, albeit NOT all that common. They can include redness, skin burning and peeling, Infections can occur. If you already have skin sensitivity, e.g. rosacea or are pregnant. it is advised to stay away from this medication. Advertisements may suggest to use only dermatologist approved products, but if you read my last article, this advertisement addition is not all that reassuring. See Is This Product Dermatologist Tested? If you check Salicylic acid functions on SkinCharisma you will see it is known for many tasks. Skin Conditioning, Masking,

If you decide to go this acid route, I would avoid buying any salicylic acid products online that you have not tried before. The Mayo clinic has several warnings and cautions against overdosing.

Chablis fine expression of Chardonnay Caves Jean et Sébastien

1er Cru, Vaucoupin 2014 SAQ # 13192021$29.75

know a great deal of people who will turn down a glass of Chardonnay but never a glass of Chablis. The funny thing is that Chablis is made from entirely Chardonnay!!. So what is going on here?. Outside

great white wines of Burgundy. However, the wines vary greatly in style and flavor from their southern neighbors, mainly as a result of the district's cooler climate and unique Kimmeridgian soil. Chablis has a particular bouquet that recalls wet chalk, lemons, and green apple, with a higher acidity than most Chardonnay. There are four Chablis “ appellations”. These are Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru.

By Marco Giovanetti mtltimes.ca Burgundy, Chardonnay could have a tendency to taste homogeneous alike no matter where is grown from California to Italy and passing through Australia. This is a reason that is putting wine lovers off to taste chardonnay. To get the essence of this grape you must drink Chablis In the spirit of getting to know more Chablis, I accepted the invitation of Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne ( BIVB) for an informal tasting this past September 11th at the Restaurant Magdalena in Montreal. “ Les Instants Chablis” event was a great opportunity to get acquainted with this Burgundy wine region.

Chablis is a wine region situated around 130 km northwest of Dijon, France and is considered a part of the Burgundy region. The white wines of Chablis are made entirely from the Chardonnay grape, much like the other • August 15, 2020

Petit Chablis come froms plateaux in hillside vineyards. It is fresh and aromatic with subtle floral nuances. The area of the production is 1010 h and its vineyards are located on either side of the river Serein. This AOP was established in 1944. It is one of the jewels in the crown of the Chablis region which forms the “golden gate” to Bourgogne. In contrast, Chablis is the largest of the 4 appellations in terms of planted surface area. The area under production covers 3560 ha and their wines are more structured and longer in mouth than Petit Chablis. Chablis vineyards are located near Auxerre in the department of Yonne along the Serein river as well. Winemaking goes back to the 12th century when the Cistercian monks from the abbey of Pontigny developed vine cultivation. The area of production is 3560 ha.

The appellation of Chablis Premier Cru is reserved for single vineyard wines or climats. The term “climat” is a Burgundy concept. These are plots of land with precisely defined borders with specific geological and climatic conditions. There are 40 different climats, each with their own style. Some yields mineral wines such as Montéé de Tonnerre and Côte de Léchet while others are fruity such as Beauroy and Montmains. The distinctive factor of Chablis Premier cru lies in their soil geology. The important soil substrate is Jurassic limestone (specifically, Kimmeridgian limestone) which was formed some 150 million years ago.The base layer has deposits of tiny fossilised oyster shells which brings to mind that Burgundy was under a warm ocean.The most famous Climats are those on the right bank of the Serein river surrounding the Grand Cru.

At the top level of the hierarchy we find the Chablis Grand Cru appellation and its seven climats Blanchot, Bougros, les Clos, Grenouilles, Preuses, Valmur and Vaudésir. Situated just over the village of Chablis, each terroir has its own set of qualities. Blanchot is floral, supple and charming. Les Clos is mineral driven with great power. Valmur is mineral but fruity as well with a well defined elegance. Grenouilles is rich fruity and decadent. Vaudésir is bright floral and curvy. Preuses is long and aristocratic with a famous aging capacity and finally Bougros is round, mineral and supple The austere, mineral character of Chablis

makes it perfect for simple, clean flavors such as sautéed white fish, and can serve as an excellent counterbalance to rich dishes or cream-based sauces. Petit Chablis

should be great with raw oysters or other shellfish. For not too expensive Chablis and Premier Cru, pasta alla vongole or fried fish should be great too. For Grand Cru Chablis definitely I would go for a rich and sumptuous plate. Egg based pastas with mushrooms such as porcini or black truffle, salmon in pastry or veal in a cream based sauce. Hard cheeses are great as well. Try it with washed French rind cheeses such as Epoisses and Soumaintrain.

LaSalle Drive-In aSalle Drive In (LDI) is a fixture along the riverfront in LaSalle. It is popular with middle class families looking for value when they want to order subs, pizza, hot dogs, and pasta (and a view thrown in for free). LDI is also a business that can boast keeping some employees for two decades or more and that gives generously to local charities. The restaurant could also be seen as an immigrant’s success story. We met up with coowner Johnny Tzouvelakos on the terrace on a recent Saturday afternoon. The choice of the terrace was an easy one; apart from the beautiful weather and vistas look-

ing across to the south shore of the St. Lawrence, the tables were all taken inside. “When my father, Peter, and Uncle Nick founded LDI in 1967, there was no indoor seating at all,” explained Tzouvelakos who was three years old then. “People would order inside a little shack and then carry the food away, often to eat it in their cars. Now our seating capacity is 45 inside with 40 on the terrace. A lot has changed… Back then, LaSalle Blvd served as the TransCanada Highway until Highway 20 was built.” Today some 60 items are feature on the menu and there is also a full

dairy bar. “Yes our cuisine is Italian, Greek, and Canadian,” joked Tzouvelakos. “The only thing missing here is Chinese food!” The specialty of the house is “Peter’s Special,” a sort of pizza roll with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and mustard that you probably can’t find anywhere else.Tzouvelakos’ father invented the roll one evening in 1972 and was eating it when some police officers came in. They spied the roll and insisted on having the same thing. “Now we serve a lot of these every day,” said Tzouvelakos. From the comings and goings in the parking lot, it was evident that LDI also does a thriving

take-out business. The area served includes LaSalle, part of Lachine (west to 32nd Ave.),Verdun, and Ville Emard.The former Ville St. Pierre (now part of Lachine) is also covered. Tzouvelakos explains that delivery is free on orders of $5 or more. Prices marked on the menu are modest and as Tzouvelakos puts it. “For $5 to $15, you can eat well here.” And the general rule is that the more credit card signs are on the door, the more expensive a restaurant is. But at LDI, a sign is taped to the cash register saying,

place (Excursions Rapides de Lachine) just upriver and we get cyclists stopping from the bike path.” And it doesn’t hurt business that the LaSalle police station is across the street. The West End Times spoke to four young men drove in with surfboards on top of their car. They explained that they were surfing on the rapids about one kilometre downstream. “This is the only place that I’ve ever worked,” revealed Tzouvelakos, who started at his father’s restaurant at age 13 (standing on a bench to reach things down

LaSalle Drive-in Submarine “cash only, please.” There is an ATM machine in the back if you run short on cash. The customers walking into LDI tend to come from the same geographic area that deliveries are made to. “But we also get American tourists from the rafting

from high shelves). “I started studying political science at Bishop’s University, but my father fell ill and I came back to run the restaurant.” His father, who at 85 still comes by the restaurant sometimes, arrived in Montreal from Greece in 1959 to

begin working as a dishwasher. By 1967, he opened LDI and the business he founded today supports 35 families. Tzouvelakos spoke very highly of his business partner and brother-in-law, George Tsimiklis. Tsimiklis’ kids now work at LDI, representing the third generation of the family to be there. In high class restaurants you often pay for the view, but the owners of LDI include an exquisite river view for free. You can see across the river to La Prairie. From the terrace, I watched three boatloads of rafters paddling down the river to catch the Lachine Rapids. There were ducks and motorboats, too. Tzouvelakos plans to open a second floor of the restaurant in 2011with seating for 40 inside, promising an even better view of the river. “You wouldn’t believe how the ice flows look coming down the river on moonlit nights!” he exclaimed.
