Let me get this straight... aside from this one dealership, one cannot shop for cars on the weekend in Montreal? When the **** are you supposed to do it, then? WTF?

There's a protest against police brutality scheduled in a couple of weeks. Now that should be a riot.


Although I do hear that the organizers are trying to make it more "family friendly" this year... I find that a bit unrealistic however, given the topic of the protest. Yea! Lets march against Police Brutality and destroy everything! That'll prove our point!

QFT. Quebec is ****ing stupid. Dealerships are open really late on weekdays.

That being said, it's wicked annoying

I know a lot of people who bring some alcohol in a coke bottle or something so that they can pregame a bit... considering that drinks at the clubs cost $10 I can understand that...

Quebec is backwards.

Right, and when a dealership chose to open on a weekend, not only were they expelled from the association (which is fine, AFAIC), but the association sent ~60 people in to protest and try to prevent the dealership from conducting its business. Not just that, they caused property damage and would have caused more without the police there.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm not about to cry for the poor car dealer having two of his cars damaged, that's pretty much the name of the game.

Yeah, and to hell with the consumer!

The problem is that every other car dealer out there will eventually have to open on week ends too, which probably means hiring additional employees. But I don't see the car market as being terribly elastic, so they'll sell the same number of cars, i.e. less commisions per capita.

[JessiPollo]

Hell, they could just open on the weekends but close on Mondays and Wednesdays or somesuch... I know businesses that do that down here. Being closed Sat-Sun is just ****ing stupid, though. It's the best time to buy/sell cars.

We should totally protect their interests against those of the consumers. I mean, who are those consumers to want businesses to be open when they're free anyway?
