Hearing that abandoned #Montreal churches are being converted to #pickleball courts.

Seems like a good repurposing idea, and possible origin story for the Cult of the Great Pickle.

"All hail the Great Pickle, may you touch his garlicky barnacles."

@ottaross And another reason Montréal is on our list of possible retirement bases.
@Chigaze It's such a great city. I'd probably live there too if it weren't for the provincial government.

@ottaross I’m in Alberta so…

(I’ll note that Ontario has really amped up it’s crazy government game lately)

@Chigaze oh yeah, good point. They might not be such an outlier anymore.

The tax levels are so high, and feed into a lot of waste – not so far off the Ab and On taxes to corruption and cronyism though.

Then the language laws, and fake-secularism laws are pretty frustrating to see though.

And crumbling roads/bridges/etc.

Then again bike infra is supposed to be good.
