Ross of OttawaHearing 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."
Paul Turnbull 🇨🇦@ottaross And another reason Montréal is on our list of possible retirement bases.
Stéphanie@stephanie Well some of it is just the creativity of what to do with old unused churches and that there are enough unused churches to repurpose. As yet I have not played pickle ball.
Previous factors adding to the list is that I went to uni there and fell in love with the city and the fact that Dieu du Ciel, one of the single best breweries in Canada, is there. :)
John Francis 🇨🇦🦫🍁💪⬆️@stephanie @Chigaze @ottaross I have a vision of pickleball players relaxing on the alter after the match, drinking excellent beer and crunching through a bag of those host crisps Stephanie posted a few days ago. A guest priest, who is also a retired pickleball pro, delivers a non-canon morality sermon & club pep rally using pickleball concepts.
@johnefrancis @Chigaze @ottaross lmao this is awesome
I do hope the politics will get better before my retirement, I'd really like to move back. Maybe it'll be a country at that point 🙄
@stephanie I think we’re safe there as while separatism has more support in Québec than in Alberta it’s far lower than the early nineties when I was there.
@Chigaze @johnefrancis @ottaross I don't think the referendum will pass, but the next government will almost certainly be the separatist anti-woke party, so we'll see how it goes :|
