The Montreal Canadiens are off to the Eastern Conference Finals after winning game 7 in overtime last night against the Buffalo Sabres. Following the overtime stunner, we had some light, riot-adjacent, fan activity in downtown Montreal. A long form piece over the weekend in the Montreal Gazette gives us an updated picture of what is happening in the neighbourhood of Milton Park. A petition initiated by a Liberal MP is demanding for federally regulated employees to work remotely three days a week. La Presse has a three-part series on how much CEOs in Quebec make.
Elias Makos caps the week off with Raphaël Melançon, political analyst for CTV Montreal and CJAD 800, and columnist for the Montreal Gazette, and Lea Streliski, Best-selling author, comedian and columnist. Hey, what exactly do you guys call this long weekend and the holiday on Monday anyways? The Montreal Canadiens are one win away from making the Eastern Conference Finals. Do you believe this series is over or will we be talking about a crucial game 7 on Monday? According to Québec solidaire, over three-quarters of Quebecers support their proposal to tax the ultra-rich Police in Sherbrooke are asking residents to not give money to people begging for it on the side of the road.

Elias starts off the week with Jimmy Zoubris, Montreal businessman, longtime activist and former special advisor to Valerie Plante and Montreal journalist and broadcaster Sue Smith. Ruba Ghazal says Québec solidaire's new platform is "ambitious and credible. First, they would create a Quebecois Costco, a food wholesaler focused on local products and aimed at competing with the large grocery chains. They also propose a tougher stance and stricter rules on “abusive landlords”, and property owners who break housing laws, including reno-victions and property flipping. A beloved Verdun café is closing after being slapped by what they say was a 60% rent hike. Station W has been a mainstay on Wellington Street for 13 years. In a statement to the Montreal Gazette, the building’s owners refute claims of a 60% increase, but news of the closure and any talk of massive rent hikes have led to renewed calls for regulations on commercial leases. It appears the Quebec Liberals will have no problem attracting “star” candidates to their roster. Multiple reports now say that Michel Leblanc, the former head of the Montreal Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, will make his return to the public spotlight under Charles Milliard’s banner. David Bowles, who headed Quebec's largest group of private schools for eight years is also on the list. So is Pierre Cossette, a professor and doctor and former rector of the Université de Sherbrooke.

If you haven't heard of Nirvanna The Band The Show then you're doing yourself a disservice. I'm actually pretty shocked that both Jon and Scott aren't more familiar with it. Tracking down the Viceland episodes seems to be a bit of a trick these days but there is still a delightful fansite that has thoughtfully preserved the Nirvanna The Band webseries episodes for your enjoyment. If you have a chance to check out Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie in theaters I'm fairly sure you won't be disappointed. However, it was produced by Crave so if you have that service I'm sure you'll find it on streaming soon enough. While you're at it you should probably check out The Dirties, Operation: Avalanche and BlackBerry too. Since everything is fine in the world we spend some time talking about how CEOs eat their hamburgers. If you haven't seen the footage I think it's somehow both more and less cringe than you think it is. On first watch I thought it wasn't so bad, but then I watched it again and decided that the McDonald's CEO might not even be an actual human being. We talk about other stuff too. What jobs are going to be stolen by artificial intelligence, UFC BMF Champion Charles Oliveira and his entire leg-sleeve Pokemon tattoo, the Masters of the Universe movie trailer and Scott's dislike of medical dramas. Anyways, we spend this episode of Garbage Time talking about how much the sports writers for the Montreal Gazette kind of suck. That leads us towards the death of print media and how much we miss Vice Magazine. Not sure how we go from there to curling and ultra marathons but you know what? We do. If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

This evening we investigate when it is permissible to schedule a non-urgent surgery on Friday, in spite of a general prohibition to do so. Rabbi Yosef Rimon gives practical and sensitive guidelines that are especially relevant here in Montreal, and in many other places. Through this rather technical discussion, Rabbi Rimon is clearly attuned to protecting both physical and emotional well-being. We survey the disappointing response of the Jewish People to Moshe's noble and grand statements of God's promises, and we derive what all of us need, to be able to dream and look toward a future we are seeking. I share part of an article in last week's Montreal Gazette on the ravages among young people (and not so young people) of e-device overuse and even addiction. Finally we offer two different layers of meaning to God granting us the Land of Israel as in inheritance, as opposed to any other legal transfer of ownership.

U.S. President Donald Trump visited a Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan on Tuesday, and dismissed the relevance of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying the U.S. doesn’t need the trade deal and that “Canada would love it.” A new Leger poll says nearly one in three Canadians are afraid that the U.S will invade Canada. As per an Op-Ed in the Toronto Star, are the Canadians that continue to move their start-up companies to the U.S., or go to school in the U.S., or vacation in the U.S. bordering on treason?
