A court ruling will soon determine whether a Montreal taxi driver has the right to decorate his cab.

The taxi driver claims that his decorations should be permitted under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The cab’s décor includes religious objects, the Canadian flag and photos.

Taxi regulations prohibit any objects in the cab that aren’t related to the job.

The taxi driver feels targeted after he made complaints about the cab bureau failing to deal with unlicensed taxi drivers.

The taxi driver has previously received seven tickets for violating the city’s bylaw.

As the clock struck noon Monday, Concordians on the first floor of the Hall building chimed the infamous Beatles song about love in honour of Valentine’s Day. The flash-love in as it was called was orchestrated by WHALE, which stands for Wintery Hot Accessible Love-in for Education. As the singing and swaying concluded, the group gathered in for a whopping love-filled group hug. About 25 people showed up to participate. 

Quebec’s justice system could fall on some hard times.

 Prosecutors might go on strike today after last minute negotiations.

In local news, more than one hundred firefighters rushed downtown to stop a fire on Sherbrook street west Sunday night. The fire caused an estimated one million dollar damage to an art gallery. The worse damages were on the third floor and the roof, were the fire is believed to have started. None of the tenants living about the gallery were injured. Several hundreds of pieces of art were saved with little damage. The fire was not characterized as arson by the Police Department.  Investigations into what happened are still ongoing.
