Aha! Even in Sherbrooke you will find the traffic in MTL sooooooo
peaceful. What the locals call a "busy dangerous street" is probably
something you'd call a very quiet street in Mexico City.
You know, over there, pedestrians even *wait* for red traffic lights
for crossing the streets even when there is no car 1 mile away (and
I've been told by "this guy" that you'd better follow this strange
local habit unless you want a local policeman to fine you).
Of course, the above paragraph doesn't apply to fellow german and
swiss Debian contributors who are already used to such strange
things....:-)
(yet another opportunity to say "hi" to fellow Debconfers)
