Would you like to know if the restaurant you're about to eat at passed inspection?
The official opposition at Montreal city hall, Ensemble Montreal, thinks we should — it's tabling a motion at the next city council meeting asking the Plante administration to push the Quebec government to give them the power to assign hygiene grades and force restaurants, food trucks and grocery stores to post them prominently.
You've seen them in cities such as New York, Toronto and Paris — letter grades, colour codes and emoticons placed near the entrance of the food establishment indicating if the food establishment passed or failed inspection.
Ensemble Montreal says food inspection results are public — if you know how to find them.
