ITHQ profits from monarchy

The Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec has become very popular with its restaurant's "Menu royal" inspired by William and Kate's visit last summer.

At the time of their visit in "colonial" Quebec City the rather sad RRQ (Réseau de résistance du Québécois, not the Régie des rentes du Québec, the other RRQ) had plastered the city in very clever "William dégage" posters. This translates roughly to "William take off, eh".

But can he coach hockey?

Montreal Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier says he's sorry for hiring a coach who cannot speak French. I thought as an interim manager, this was garnering way to much outrage, but it appears he's not so great at winning hockey games either.

The owners of the team are anglophones too. Should they sell the team to Pierre-Karl Péladeau or is he only interested when the taxpayer picks up the tab and he gets just the profits?
