Poutine patrol: Even though it came out a dog’s age ago, people are still talking about the Vice Guide to Montreal—mostly because they haven’t seen it. Let’s put the rumours to rest—it’s not groundbreaking or wildly insulting stuff, despite jibes at NDG and Côte-St-Luc, both of which, let’s face it, have it coming. Yes, there’s something about naked breakfast places, copious ganja availability and medieval dorks. No, it’s nothing you didn’t already know. Yes, you can read it for yourself at www.viceland.com/issues/guide_mtl/htdocs/.

Peeler page: Keeping with the vice in Montreal theme, Montreal Strip Clubs is a “Full Contact Stripblog” from the perspective of a guy who’s really into strippers—an expatriate American who calls himself Nero Brass. He’s part sociologist, part huckster and all pervert, but that comes with the territory. Read his tales of two-on-one lapdances, proper tipping technique and the people who go to strip clubs on Christmas day at http://montrealstripclubs.thumblogger.com.
