Montréal Rorschmaps

So there's Rorschmap, a cool web site that turns Google Maps into a kaleidoscope. Here are a few images around Montréal, screencapped by me but of course entirely thanks to Mr., or Ms. Rorschmap.

Clicking on the pics makes them larger, but you already knew that.

Montréal's Worst High Schools, According to the Fraser Institute

I've already included some pictures of what were in one person's opinion Montréal's best high schools. I thought I'd look at the bottom end, and who is there to provide it but the Fraser Institute. Now of course this list, just released, is controversial here in Québec, so make up your own mind as to whether these schools are really so bad.

Montréal's Best Public Schools

I make no claims about the veracity of this list. It's a few years old by now, and I just copied it as I saw it on this webpage.

1. ROYAL WEST ACADEMY

2. VINCENT MASSEY COLLEGIATE

3. ST. THOMAS HIGH SCHOOL

4. ÉCOLE SECONDAIRE PIERRE LAPORTE
