Frenchys Lust: July Edition – Part One

Ally: So if you  haven’t gathered, one of my favourite past times is shopping at Frenchys, particularly the Digby Frenchys. Ok, it’s the only Frenchys I visit. My parents live close by, so when we spend time with them there, Frenchys is a must on our list of priorities. Yes, I’ve even gotten El Jeffe [...]

My plan is to have long mermaid hair like this by winter, so I can wrap myself in it as an extra pelt.

al fresco weather

We've had some great weather and when it is warm out, I love eating outside. Recently we headed to "The Battered Fish. I'd heard a lot of great things about this truck. It is parked on the Bedford Highway next to the Esquire Restaurant (another classic...

Spacing Saturday

Spacing Saturday highlights posts from across Spacing’s blog network in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and the Atlantic region.


Spacing Ottawa editor Evan Thornton was on the road in Winnipeg this week and reports from that city on the dialogue surrounding the beautifully restored and vibrant Exchange District. During the decades when money was being funnelled into large scale modernist improvement projects the Exchange District was naturally and slowly rejuvenating itself.

On behalf of Montreal artist "Hyperalligina" Spacing is appealing to readers to help find the perfect empty lot in the city for part of an art project to be installed this summer using a grant from the Awesome Ottawa Project. The post includes some more details about what the artist is looking for.

What does your choice of favourite buildings say about your personality? Continuing to digest the results from the reader survey of the best of Montreal, Spacing contributor Justin Boulanger speculates about the personal traits of the readers of who selected the top three favourite buildings and laments that the Sci-Fi nerds were not organized enough to get Olympic Stadium onto the podium.

In a landmark public space ruling the…

And I Shall Be Queen



Happy Belated Bastille Day!

Belated is the only kind of holiday we know around here.

Anyway. Ah, the French Revolution. It's one of those things where the utter madness of it all lends itself to great comedy, and it's been done! Perhaps you've seen the classic Start the Revolution Without Me, or read Dylan Meconis' absolutely wonderful comic Bite Me. Is "madcap" the word we are looking for here? Hmm..

It is, however, one of those events that can be many things to many people all at once. And as in a lot of cases, the comedy we get comes from great tragedy. I almost didn't put in the comic about Madame Lamballe, because once you read her story, you may be as sad as I! But if you haven't heard of her, perhaps now you will know what a brave woman she really was. In any case, there are things delightful and horrifying about the French Revolution, and whatever you learn about it, it's sure to be interesting, above all.


I don't make comics that are history books, but do yammer on about the subject sometimes.
