Save the topless bars!, by Richard Martineau
There's a wind of Puritanism breath on the country.
After Stephen Harper which is a sign of the cross when he hears the word "seal" and the status of women who skate hair legs when Madonna closed the leg a bit too high, it is now the turn of the mayor of Granby want to close the last topless bar of the municipality to protect "the family-oriented downtown."
Montreal going to imitate Granby? Not according to the spokeswoman for the Mayor Tremblay.
"Montreal has a strong economic, cultural and international," said Ms. Sauriol to the Journal.
A JEWEL OF OUR HERITAGE
What topless bars have to do with the economy, tourism and culture, you ask yourself?
Well, everything.
First, topless bars are part of Quebec.
What we found in each municipality of La Belle Province? A case pop, a chemist Jean-Coutu, a church and a bar dancers. With factories in corrugated iron and trailers to potato chips, these monuments are the four pillars of the architectural heritage of Quebec.
From Red Light of Val-d'Or to Triple Sexe of Jonquière through Sherbrooke The Tigress and The Body Shop Saint-Antoine, bars dancers are Quebecois villages that are covered bridges in southern U.S. .
TRAPPES TO TOURISTS
You really think that tourists come to Montreal to see the Olympic Stadium, Place Ville-Marie and Notre Dame?
No: they come to Montreal to go have a drink at Parée and at Wanda's.
Ruins, buildings and churches, tourists have mass home. That their fate by the ears.
But beautiful girls running around on a pole She's Got The Look for Roxette, that they do not.
Instead of closing the topless bars, the mayors of Quebec should subsidize.
No, it's true: what would the hockey players if Parée did not exist? Where they meet their blond?
THE MECQUE
Why do racing fans like they come to Montreal, do you? For the beauty of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve?
No. They like to come here because Montreal has more bars dancers per square kilometer than any other North American city.
It is not Gérald Tremblay, Raymond Bachand and Michael Fortier should be sent to the bedside of Bernie Ecclestone to save the F-1. It is the owners of clubs of the metropolis dancers! The owner of Solid Gold, manager of Super Sex!
They not find words to mollify Bernie. The words, but the images.
And then, everyone knows that Montreal is one of the world capitals of dance. Marie Chouinard, Ginette Laurin, Edouard Lock and Louise Lecavalier are recognized by all over the world.
Ditto for the young and nice Sandra in the second part of his show ...
In short, not sure that the mayor of Granby has made the right decision in closing the last club dancers in the city.
After all, if he does not like the idea that people pay to see furry creatures, why do farm he not the zoo?
