When destiny yanks your bingo card away So two guys were sitting in the The Original Bar in Granby. One took a sip from the other’s glass, which causes a small disagreement. Soon the two are outside hitting each other pretty good. Robert Lafleur, 38, – old enough to know better, stomped and battered Michel Quirion, 46, who is the man with the temerity to have dared take the fatal sip. Quirion ended up in a coma for 12 days. The brutal battering was caught on tape. Quirion lost a lot of cognitive abilities. In court Quirion reported that he’s saddest because he can’t play bingo with as many cards as usual due to his inability to concentrate. Bingo is his passion. His doctor suggested he play a lot of bingo because it’s a super way to exercise your memory. But he’s not able to do it and is sad about it. Lafleur expressed regret and got 15 months in prison.
The reason we have such a serious ADD problem Education Ministry bureaucrat Sylvie Grenier, 44, managed to defraud $200,000 over a period of two years (January 2002 to February 2004) taking a load of money earmarked for children with attention deficit disorders. She wrote 18 cheques of between
$2,000 and $19,000 and deposited them in her personal account and one that she shared with her spouse who later denied any knowledge of the scheme. Credit card statements showed that she spent $120,000 in stores in Quebec City but she reported no memory of making all those purchases. She also said spent $2,000 a day on cocaine and $300 on Tylenol per week while working. This didn’t impress the judge who didn’t believe that one could take so much drugs and still work in an office. Perhaps he should have asked Andre Boisclair. She was tried in February.
No crowing in court In March Sabin Johnson, 37, was in court for possession of a small amount of marijuana in Gatineau, near Ottawa. He was asked to explain why he was walking down the street crowing like a chicken. Johnson – for the sake of accuracy - decided to show the court his buzzed out chicken routine, which left judge Jean-Francois Gosselin laughing so hard that they were unable to continue the proceedings. He eventually returned and gave Johnson, who made money selling crack to hookers in Hull, 41 months. Johnson had already served 10 months while waiting his trial, time served is doubled, so he got 20 months in the pen.

Ah Quebec... home of so many goofballs.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the skinny on these mob raids in Montreal?
Don't know the specifics of the case but I'd imagine that it's because everybody rats each other out nowadays. Rare is the man who will take the fall for the big guy. The old time gangsters are quite upset about this.
