Oh Canada, our home and native land???

On the night of June 23rd, the eve of 'la St-Jean' (Quebec's national holiday), I was home and listening to the boom of fireworks being set off at various parks and backyards in the neighborhood. The following night, more of the same. This is Repentigny, after all - a city where I can't speak English to my kid at the local IGA without at least a couple of heads turning. Fast forward to the night of June 30th, eve of Canada Day. Silence. The following night, a total of 6 feeble pops. Yeah. Six. Yeah. I counted.

Here's my message to Repentignites (or whatever the hell we're called here): Yes, you're Quebecers. Celebrate it, by all means. But then look around. You're still a part of Canada. You get the freaking day off from work, for pity's sake! That alone should be worth more than a measly 6 lousy pops!!!

My friend, André Seiffert, was right. I should have come up to Parliament Hill to see the show he and his gang put on. I told him it was on my bucket list and after the woeful presentation I was barely privy to this week, I'm thinking next year, he and I will have a date ... well, so to speak! (Hi Leanne!) And the next year, maybe I'll do la St-Jean in Quebec City. In the meantime, belated Happy 24th and 1st (and Happy 4th to my 'merican buds). Happy (and safe!) holidays to everyone  :)

Gary Brownrigg - Stat Transport

Imagine you or your company have some palettes of merchandise, a slew of boxes or a machine that need to be delivered from here to there. Wondering who to call? Well, meet Gary!

I was recently introduced to Gary Brownrigg, yet another RHS alum (class of 1977). Gary has since shown himself to be a very outgoing and funny man; he also happens to be very hardworking and smart as a whip. In addition to all that, Gary owns and operates a transport company, Stat Transport.


After working as a driver for major companies for over 30 years, Gary started his own business in 2006. Given his experience behind the wheel, Gary knows this city like the proverbial back of his hand. While he has had opportunities to expand, he prefers to run and work for the company solo. A man who cares about his clients and their business, he believes in offering his customers a personalized and high quality service, one that covers the greater Montreal area. Stat Transport also operates under the same umbrella along with four other companies, allowing Gary to ensure you a very positive outcome.


Stat Transport is not a courier company. Gary does not deliver envelopes, nor is he the man to call if you're moving. Stat Transport is the company for same day transport service of merchandise ranging from a single palette to 25,000 pounds. Stat Transport offers competitive rates; Gary's prices have remained the same (so far), despite the rising gas prices.


So the next time you need something delivered - delivered safely, promptly and professionally, remember Gary. You'll be satisfied ... and you'll be back!
