Canadians are too nice
Thought this was really cool and something nice in the news once in a while and thought I should share
https://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/m...snow-1.4031234"Batman has a bit of a sore back this weekend after shovelling cars out of the Montreal snow for several hours on Thursday.
Shovelling as Batman has all the makings of a publicity stunt, but Bennani Smires says it's the kind of volunteer work that's integral to what his company does."A devastating storm covered southern Quebec on Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving residents struggling to get around later in the week.
Sidewalks were treacherous and many cars were encased by about 40 centimetres of snow.
But the owners of children's entertainment company MJ Anim'Action saw it as an opportunity to brighten people's day.
They decided to send Batman to the rescue.
"We went into all the side streets to find people who were trying to get rid of snow and when we found a person who was working we helped them right away," MJ Anim'Action co-founder Mehdi Bennani Smires told CBC News.
The duo stayed close to their headquarters in Montreal's Rosemont borough, delivering about five hours of good deeds to their neighbours.
Those searching for a comic book reference to explain why it was Batman roaming the streets with a shovel, instead of another superhero, won't find one. The Batman costume simply had the most insulation.
"I couldn't be Spiderman. It was too cold," Bennani Smires said."
"We have nice costumes and we know how to talk to kids because we used to be children's educators. We know children's needs," Bennani Smires said.
They now volunteer at Sainte-Justine Hospital, meeting kids in costume, as part of the Starlight Foundation and Rêves d'enfants — two charities that work to lift the spirits of seriously ill children.
"We're people who dress up as superheroes but the real superheroes are the kids, the ones fighting illness," Bennani Smires said."
