The bucolic home to Italian hit men visiting Montreal in the 70s

   The Inn was a hospitable landmark in St. Sauveur until it burned down in 1973.
   But what most do not know is that the Irish-Canadian owner had a deal to welcome Mafia hit men flown into town from Italy to assassinate certain selected targets.
   The killers were as discreet as could be on their brief visits to Canada except once when their car bumped into another vehicle at a red light.
   The other driver exited, angrily cursing the inhabitants of the Mafia-killer vehicle.
   The angry driver slunk back into his driver's seat and sped off after seeing a gun pointed directly at his face, held by an expert professional killer.
   Good times...sigh...good times.

    CKGM, before it became CHOM, had a one year anniversary (new rock format) around 70-71 in Saint Sauveur at a hotel that had 3 or 4 bands playing on different levels, place got trashed by partying Montrealers. No idea what the name of the place was, any ideas?

  2. CPR used to run a special train to Quebec City for Carnaval.

    The last year it ran, the Assholes trashed the train on the return.

    Thank You.
