Montreal city council voted 35-25 to adopt a bylaw banning insults, harassment, threats and aggressive behaviour toward police officers and other municipal employees. First offences carry fines of $300 to $1,000, rising to as much as $2,000 for repeat violations, and city staff would be allowed to refuse service to offenders. Officials have not set a date for implementation, and the bylaw does not define what counts as an insult.

Lorne Trottier and Branko Matić founded Matrox in Dorval, Quebec in 1976, combining their surnames to name the company. Their first product, the MTX-1632 video RAM board, generated a 32x16 ASCII display and sold $20,000 worth of orders after a free listing in Electronics magazine, making the fledgling company profitable almost immediately. They quickly followed up with the MTX-256, a raster graphics unit offering 256 by 256 dot resolution.
