Field notes
The homepage is organized like a small issue, with a numbered date, a lead feature, recurring sections, and links to earlier stories. The Garage Desk supplies automotive vocabulary for the jokes, while the In Short items use familiar Montreal and Canadian references such as potholes and Tim Hortons. The page links to an RSS feed and identifies the publication’s stories as satire.
