Libya now a no-fly zone

The United Nation has authorised a no-fly zone over Libya. The security council said that it will do all that is necessary –including military action- to protect civilians.

The no-fly zone establishes a ban on all flights in the airspace. The United Nations has also demanded a ceasefire, calling out for Khadafy to meet his civilians basic needs.

The Libyan leader didn’t wait to voice his disagreement. In an interview broadcast right before the security council voted on the resolution, he dismissed the United Nations, saying that he does not acknowledge their resolutions.


NDG Parking Woes

Parking in Montreal can be expensive, and if you get a ticket it’s even worse as many NDG residents will tell you. The latest numbers from QMI reveal the NDG-CDN borough receives the most parking tickets in all of Montreal. 

One borough councillor saw this as a sign of vitality. He also noted the extra parking difficulties NDG-CDN has with two hospitals, metro stations and Concordia. 

Police say they are not being overzealous. They say they have more parking regulations now. A ticket for failing to fill the meter can set you back $52.
