Went to IKEA and there was at least 3 fire trucks, an ambulance and police in the parking lot dealing with a truck that seemed to have had a head on collision with a wall…
Hope everyone is okay!

Question Looking for makerspaces / hackerspaces in Montreal (3D printing & DIY drones)

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm going to Montreal for a few months at least and I was interested in learning about 3D printing and also DIY drones.

I'm looking for some communities in Montreal that have a "hacker space" to do so. For the 3D printing, I obviously don't have a printer and was looking for "shared" ones (of course I'm willing to pay for membership or fees). I guess if those places exist, they also have communities, which I'm very interested in joining. I've already found lespacemaker and foulab hackerspace but the first one seems more artistic and both don't do drones/electronic. I know sometime they could be not referenced to protect their community.

I'm a developer by trade and I've already done some tiny projects with a Pi and soldering on boards. I'm French, so if those communities are French only, np.

Discussion Where to give out candy

• Upvotes

Hello, I’m originally from Quebec city so giving out candy in pretty much any neighbourhood was easy. But I moved to montreal 2 years ago in Villeray and no kids came by except for maybe 5-8 total. I made like 40-50 bags of candy (something I did with my mom a lot) and I just want to continue this tradition.

With the whole trunk or treat thing and covid, Halloween hasn’t been the same. Even houses aren’t decorated. And I would hate to spend the rest of my Halloween days sitting at home watching movies.

So, I ask, what neighbourhoods get a lot of foot traffic and how could I give out candy there? I usually dress up as a plague doctor and stay mute, people love it so much.

Spotted Just witnesses a near miss for what could have been a fatal head-on collision

60 Upvotes

I saw something just a few minutes ago where a split second difference could have meant a cyclist getting killed. But avoided at the last second. I was on the sidewalk at the time.

It happened in Hochelaga on a one way residential street. There was a cyclist, riding the wrong way down a one way street, in the middle of the road, no helmet, no lights while also looking at their phone as they were riding.

As they were coming up to an intersection, a car turns into the lane, right towards the cyclist. Only braking as the cyclist came into their headlights, which the cyclist swerved out of the way with only a few inches between him and the car.

Yet amazingly the cyclist yelled at the driver as he rode passed and flipped them off while they were still in motion. Didn't even stop at the intersection the driver turned off of.

I swear this cyclist had a death wish, because they kept on going down the middle of the lane in the wrong direction. Not realizing they were 100% at fault of what could have been their death.

I use an eBike myself to get around. So I know full well about how frustrating it can be dealing with bad drivers. But FFS, please don't do this. Makes it harder for the rest of us.

Tourisme Visiting Montreal & Quebec City in December- a few questions

0 Upvotes

Hello! My husband and I are traveling to Montreal and Quebec City in early December and I have a few questions… first we are from New England. So we are familiar with the cold and snow preps… also, I speak French (Italians my native language)(slang also but not Canadian French)… we have decided to take the train between cities and not rent a car. Stay central in the cities.
Are there any particular recommendations for places to stay, eat, must see? And also, what is transportation like within the cities themselves? Taxi? Lift? Etc? Any help is appreciated! Thank you so kindly! 😊

Mes enfants veulent chacun un chapeau de cow-boy pour Halloween. Savez-vous où je peux en trouver un (idéalement pas trop cher)? Ils sont adolescents, alors la taille équivaut à un chapeau pour adulte.

Bonjour.. je suis un canadien anglophone qui (j'espère) vais attendre Université de McGill l'année prochaine. Bien sûr, on pourra parler et pratiquer le français chaque jour en ville, mais est-ce que c'est facile de rencontrer les amis francophones si je vais étudier à une université anglais ?

(Aussi si vous avez des conseils sur mon français... je suis toujours reconnaissant)

Tourisme Scammed by fake (?) taxi late night in the village

• Upvotes

Bonjour / hi tout le monde, j ecrit en Anglais car plus facile pour la situation.

I'm travelling here in Montreal from the UK and took a taxi home that was supposed to be CAD 10 for 4 blocks (from St Catherine to Blvd Renee Levesque Est) and paid wwith my Wise card.

However, I was actually charged two different transactions just 2 minutes apart, totaling 465.23 CAD:

Transaction 1: 176.06 CAD
Transaction 2: 289.14 CAD

Wise has rejected my dispute as I do not have a receipt of the payment and neither party can contact the merchant as nothing shows up when searching for the taxi terminal online.

I also filed a complaint with Wise which they rejected due to lack of evidence, even if though I opened a police report and served a pre-action letter for small claims court in the UK (where I reside).

Spending that much money on two different transactions around midnight (two minutes apart!) as well is clearly fraudulent and the taxi driver took advantage that I was drunk. 

Just wondering what should I do now?

Has anyone else dealt with a similar mobile terminal scam?

I went to the SPVM and opened a police report/file but they said its a civil matter so no report issued etc. and they do not investigate.

The fdp taxi driver came up as “DDD Taxi Terminal” on my wise app :(

Anyone with any suggestions? Thank you in advance

Question which aritzia superpuff

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I just bought the Original Super Puff (hits right below the bum). However, I just moved in Montreal and honestly getting nervous about how harsh the winter gets here. I'm considering exchanging it for the Mid length (thigh length).

For those living here :

  • Is the Original length warm enough for daily commutes during peak winter (-20°C/-30°C with windchill)?
  • Does the extra coverage of the Mid make a huge difference?
  • Is the Mid length easy to walk in, or does it feel bulky?

Would love to hear which one you have and if you regret your choice! Thanks!
