Un incendie qui a pris naissance mardi soir dans un immeuble de la rue De Lorimier, tout juste à la sortie du pont Jacques-Cartier, force la fermeture du pont par mesure de précaution.
If vehicular slalom were an Olympic event at next month’s Winter Games, a Montrealer would surely take the top prize. Montreal drivers swerving left and right to avoid potholes has become a typical sight this January.
FYI Montréal jacked up the property valuations AGAIN last year... so, Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce's 1.9% is a FAKE AF LOW % on the heels of that #BS.
The popular INFO-Neige app, used by residents to track snow removal operations in real time, is no longer free after the City of Montreal ended its financial support for the service. Users must now pay $4.
The Montreal Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce (CCMM) and Tourism Montreal published 'Maximum Blockage: Taking concrete action to have a visible impact on site management and traffic flow,' criticizing the city's actions to open roads.
Although the strike by maintenance workers at Société de transport de Montréal (STM) has been suspended, Labour Minister Jean Boulet still wants to bring forward the implementation of his law to limit pressure tactics, arguing that a work stoppage by…
#IETF124 was, of course, great, but I also enjoyed Montreal a lot. My flight home is only this afternoon so I went for a walk to grab some bagels and check out Habitat 67.
Twelve year old spoiler: #Montreal used the corrupt-suspect companies anyway. We had potholes to fill.
To me, this feels not so different from keeping my Facebook account for the beer groups, our business email on Google because of the spreadsheets/integrations, and even how @pluralistic talks about why he maintains his X/Twitter account.
It sucks, but there aren't alternatives that offer all of the same benefits (and I include “network of people" in this calculation).
In 2013, when #Montreal was deep into its corruption self-investigation, we almost ran out of asphalt.
We'd made a new rule that anyone named during the Charbonneau commission's corruption inquiry was disqualified from being a vendor/supplier for the city.
The hitch was that all of the asphalt suppliers were named. Yes, *all* of them.
So we had to decide “run out of pothole-patching materials" or “continue doing business with corrupt suppliers”.
One of the big topics at our #NoTyrants protest in #Montreal was House Bill 5518. If like me, you've never heard of it, it's a US bill to negotiate cross-border law enforcement with Canada, including sending ICE agents and other US personnel across the Canadian border. If you're Canadian, please insist to your MP that we can't surrender our sovereignty and allow US law enforcement here. #HB5518
spvm to buy a dystopian american mass surveillance product
some notes from the thread:
• American software collecting the movement history of all people in Montreal. Millions of hours of video will be sent to the US, and the movement history of all citizens will be potentially sold to the highest bidder.
• Software with very advanced capabilities accessible without a warrant by the police, such as chronological search (give me all the movements of this person over a year), facial recognition, alerts on individuals, and all the previously mentioned functionalities, etc.
• Complete loss of privacy for all people in Montreal, immediately. Privacy is dead the moment this system is connected and used by the SPVM.
• No strict judicial control, and data is not within our control. Valuable data going directly to the US and accessible without a warrant by the police.
• Police can access movement history without a warrant or validated by a judge ( think jealous police officer ex here )."

Lobbyists and apologists and landlords who endeavour to gouge/justify the gouge, etc. w/ most landlords looking to pay their OWN mortgages, car payments, travel, etc. can f*ck a duck.
Montréal asking rents up nearly 71% in six years, according to Statistics Canada:
Valérie Plante and Ville de Montréal, etc. were only concerned w/ F1 anyway...
The Canada Day parade has been cancelled for the second year in a row, with an organizer citing “ongoing planning disruptions” and the city workers’ strikes as reasons behind the decision. ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/ca… #priorities #polMTL #MTLpoli #montreal

Could Montreal rents reach Toronto and Vancouver levels of unaffordability? Tenants's rights groups are calling for a rent hike freeze until measures such as a mandatory rental registry and a ceiling on rent hikes are implemented. #rent #housing #affordability #politics #Montreal #Toronto cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/re…
Oyez, je vous présente… le sélecteur de titres de #transportcollectif de #ARTM pour la grande région de #Montréal, zones A+B+C. La stupidité absolue d'avoir une technologie comme la carte Opus, le futur de demain de l'an 2008, et maintenir l'incompatibilité entre les régions avec… 5 types de cartes Opus. On ne peut mettre des billets "zone C" sur une carte Opus standard montréalaise.
Le #Québec n'a jamais rattrapé son retard face à la carte Octopus de Hong Kong de 1997.
6 December 1989, 35 years ago, 14 women were murdered for one single reason: they were women. 12 of them were Engineering students, 1 was a nursing student and 1 was an employee. An additional 14 people were injured, 10 women and 4 men.
That this happened is inexcusable. These 14 people were chasing their own dreams. As a society, we must never forget them and we must strive to always do better.
The sky was thick solid clouds stretching from the horizon in the east to just above the horizon in the west. I wondered if that little gap above the horizon in the west would be enough for an interesting sunset. We waited 35 minutes for sunset and it was worth it. #sunset #montreal
Montréal suburb Brossard has a traffic light in a school zone that defaults to red, and only turns green when an attached speed camera detects a car driving under the speed limit.
The light is on a 90-day trial, on a 2-lane residential street. Similar signals are widespread across Europe.
Before it was installed, average vehicle speeds of 40 km/h. But in the past week, average speeds have dropped to 29 km/h.
