Church Burns, Food Bank Hardest Hit

CBC – of course.

A Montreal food bank was lost and more than 70 seniors have been forced from their residence after a nearby church fire spread to their building in the early hours of Monday in the Sud-Ouest borough.

“It’s very sad,” said Roger Mpemudjir Kilanga, head of La Main Qui Partage, a food bank that, in operation since 2013, serves thousands every year.

Probably a coincidence.

  1. So MinTru is pretending to be upset a food bank was lost. It’s using it as an excuse to blame Christians because a church building was torched. That’s what I am reading between the lines.

  2. The peaceful Left strikes again.
    I see the government funded CBC still doesn’t allow comments.

  3. The church site belongs to the Catholic Church of Montreal and was being rented by the Saint Nicholas Romanian Orthodox Church. That parish is now crowdfunding to help its relocation to another space.

    I’m sure the local Mosque will lease them some space. Although women parishioners will be banned to the basement.

  4. Quality CBC writing:
    “A five-alarm fire broke out at the church…”
    “The church fire then spread to the residence where it became a two-alarm fire.”

    When it turns out to be arson, will the CBC report it?

  5. I understand that most mosques (and those that attend them) are actually quite flammable. Be careful though as bacon fat is a dangerous accelerant.

  6. The new Canadian pastime, burning Christian churches. No one will be arrested as Christian churches are known to spontaneously combust.

  7. “A Montreal food bank was lost” … “after a nearby church fire”.

    How about “A fire at a Catholic Church destroyed the church and spread to a nearby food bank”.

  8. Of all the terrible, nation-ruining things that have been happening to our friends to the north the last decade or so, the church torchings easily steam me the most. I hope every last perpetrator burns in hell for all of eternity. But first, thrown off the roof of the CN tower live on national television.

  9. L – By the time Quebec separates, will there be any heritage remaining to save? Preserving their culture was the strongest argument for becoming independent. If the PQ held their next annual meeting in a No-Go zone in Paris. They could closely examine the axiom that: “Politics is downstream from culture, which is downstream from religion.”

  10. Incidentally, a church was set on fire just before, and then the adjacent food bank caught fire. Accidentally.

    1. And yet if the food bank was for trans people of color there would be a day of national mourning.
