In local news, drivers may find themselves dodging fewer potholes by the end of the week. 

According to a city spokesperson, 75 per cent of Montreal’s potholes had already been filled as of Wednesday.

While work on major roads is nearly complete, smaller side streets are expected to be finished in the coming days. 

The city’s attempt to plug-up potholes started last Monday, after a winter season particularly tough on the roads. 

The two slates running for this year’s CSU election duked it out Wednesday in a debate heard live on CJLO. Chosen by Team Action to debate were Presidential candidate Khalil Haddad along with VP hopefuls Teresa Seminara and Rasim Hafiz. Sitting to the right of them was Your Concordia’s Lex Gill, Chad Walcott and Laura Glover. The main issues were discussed to give students a better idea of who they’d like to vote for.
