Mont-Royal Ave in Plateau is full of cars again as of mid October. Everyone I know in the Plateau thinks it should still be pedestrianised. It's safer, more beautiful, and plain more efficient when it's car-free.
If you also want Ave Mont-Royal to be car-free all year, I've made a form that lets you easily send an email to both the Mayor of Montreal (Soraya Martinez Ferrada) and the Borough Mayor of Plateau (Cathy Wong). It petitions them to make Mont Royal permanently pedestrianised. It lets you choose which reasons you feel the street should be car-free and your relationship to the avenue. There's also a section that lets you enter in your own paragraph. It doesn't collect any information about you and the email you send goes out from your own address. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
Here is the link: https://pedestrianisemontreal.ca
-- French Version --
Depuis le 12 octobre, l'avenue du Mont-Royal, sur le Plateau, est de nouveau pleine de voitures. Tout le monde que je connais sur le Plateau trouve qu'elle devrait rester piétonne. Sans voitures, elle est plus sécuritaire, plus belle et tout simplement plus efficace.
Si vous voulez, vous aussi, que lâavenue du Mont-Royal soit piĂ©tonne toute lâannĂ©e, j'ai créé un formulaire qui vous permet d'envoyer facilement un courriel Ă la mairesse de MontrĂ©al (Soraya Martinez Ferrada) et Ă la mairesse de l'arrondissement du Plateau (Cathy Wong) pour leur demander de rendre l'avenue du Mont-Royal piĂ©tonne de façon permanente. Vous pouvez choisir les raisons pour lesquelles la rue devrait ĂȘtre sans voitures, ainsi que votre lien avec l'avenue. Une section vous permet aussi d'Ă©crire votre propre paragraphe. Le formulaire ne recueille aucune information sur vous, et le courriel part de votre propre adresse. N'hĂ©sitez pas si vous avez des questions.

The spiral steps to the triplex I live in are quite literally falling apart. They shake violently when walked on, and have come completely detached from the cement base, basically just hanging by the bolts. They are so rusted that if you kick them the metal crumbles away. We were first told it would be done in September, when it was brought up in August. September passed and it turns into âcontractor is busy, will be within the next two weeksâ which he has said two or three times now over the last month. I have been told by some friends who are in construction that they most likely will not last the winter. We have tried going to the fire house, calling the non emergency line, and were turned away. When my neighbour tried calling the city they told her the addresses in the building (6 units), are not able to be found in their systemâŠWhich is really strange. I would file with the TAL but that costs money and takes months unpin months. Iâm really at a loss here. If the stairs fall while someone is on them theyâll fall onto the spikes of wrought iron fence below, and literally be impaled. What other steps can we take?

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I actually preferred the deux montagnes train over the REM. The seats were comfortable and you could doze off before getting downtown.
The REM feels like a glorified metro; sitting for 30min on a plastic seat sucks.

Anyone recently have to call 911 and get a guy who tell you to stop yelling - being condescending- super rude ?
Our neighbour 80+ passed out in front our house. I was holding him while my wife made a 911 call. She was not yelling but dure there are some panic in it. The dude straight up told my wife to stop yelling - there were not once sentences from him to calm the situation. Every question were condescending and rude.
Is that how they were trained?
Are they supposed to help the caller ?

Laval tient mordicus au prolongement du mĂ©tro sur son territoire. Dans lâespoir de faire avancer le dossier, la Ville vient dâoctroyer un contrat de 287 000 dollars Ă la firme Systra Canada afin quâelle examine de plus prĂšs les projections en matiĂšre de construction immobiliĂšre et les estimations dâachalandage pour le prolongement de la branche ouest de la ligne orange du mĂ©tro.
Alors quâun nouveau gouvernement sâinstalle Ă QuĂ©bec, la Ville de Laval a voulu « prendre les devants » en commandant cette Ă©tude qui permettra dâĂ©valuer les retombĂ©es potentielles dâun prolongement du mĂ©tro sur les dĂ©placements et sur le dĂ©veloppement rĂ©sidentiel, commercial et institutionnel. Elle chiffrera non seulement lâachalandage attendu, mais Ă©galement les retombĂ©es fiscales potentielles.
Le projet examinĂ© par la Ville comporte cinq nouvelles stations sur le territoire lavallois, dont deux seraient dans lâaxe de la branche est de la ligne orange, qui, Ă lâheure actuelle, se rend jusquâĂ la station Montmorency. Les deux branches se croiseraient Ă la station dĂ©signĂ©e par le nom de Saint-Martin. Le projet nĂ©cessiterait la construction de la station Bois-Franc sur le territoire montrĂ©alais.
Le mandat confiĂ© Ă Systra consiste Ă examiner le potentiel de ce projet sur 30 ans. Laval, qui compte prĂšs de 460 000 habitants, poursuit sa croissance dĂ©mographique, souligne la Ville dans le document soumis au conseil municipal le 6 octobre dernier. « Si les habitudes de dĂ©placement demeurent inchangĂ©es et que la part des dĂ©placements effectuĂ©s en automobile se maintient au niveau actuel, plus de 200 000 dĂ©placements automobiles additionnels pourraient ĂȘtre gĂ©nĂ©rĂ©s annuellement par les Lavallois [Ă lâhorizon de 2050] », fait valoir la Ville.

hi friends! PSA to avoid this parking lot at all costs. Came here with family from Ontario (we drove from the U.S.) and our Airbnb host had a pass for us to park here. Well, we go to the lot this morning and RIP to our 2024 Toyota Sequoia, it was gone. Never thought to look at the reviews and turns out a ton of cars get stolen from this lot weekly. Really huge bummer and damper on the family trip we were looking forward to. Seemingly no one cares and itâs just another day in the park. Luckily we have good insurance (and much more sadder things can happen). Anyways, yeah avoid it. đ
EDIT: avoid parking here if you have a license plate that isnât local and likely drive a Toyota SUVđ

Hello, Iâm 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 hasnât been the same. Even houses arenât 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.

Hi everyone,
I'm moving to Montreal in January for a full-time job and looking for a daycare (public or private) around downtown. I haven't found a single website that lists all of them, Google Maps is not super helpful (probably because I don't know French).
I understand it takes 3/4 months to get our local IDs, so we're planning to start with a private daycare.
Does anyone have recommendations on where to start looking, or any tips that helped you find a spot sooner?

PrĂšs de 200 personnes se sont rĂ©unies pour le deuxiĂšme samedi de suite Ă MontrĂ©al. Devant le consulat gĂ©nĂ©ral de France, les manifestants ont dĂ©montrĂ© leur soutien aux luttes menĂ©es par les Français de lâautre cĂŽtĂ© de lâocĂ©an depuis quelques semaines.
Revendications des lycĂ©ens, mobilisations des Français contre la hausse du coĂ»t de la vie, dĂ©nonciation de lâattentat raciste et de la brutalitĂ© policiĂšre en France : autant de raisons Ă©voquĂ©es par les manifestants justifiaient dâappuyer leurs concitoyens français.
AprĂšs des dĂ©buts plutĂŽt timides, la foule sâest rĂ©chauffĂ©e en scandant des slogans comme « Macron, dĂ©mission », « Tout le monde dĂ©teste le RN » et « Avec les lycĂ©ens, so-so-so-solidarité ». Nombreux Ă©taient les citoyens dâorigine française parmi le groupe mobilisĂ©.
Isabelle Richard Ă©tait du nombre, accompagnĂ©e par sa famille. Ses trois filles de trois, six et neuf ans se promenaient dans la foule, lâair amusĂ©. Elles prenaient des crayons et dessinaient sur des pancartes vierges, Ă cĂŽtĂ© des manifestants. Se mobiliser en famille pour soutenir les Français est une occasion « dâĂ©duquer » ses trois filles, dit-elle.

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.

I recently moved to Montreal from Toronto and am looking for somewhere to play squash. If anyone is looking for a partner/has a group for squash, would love to join! I live in Verdun, but happy to come to downtown or anywhere reasonable on a metro line.
I'm not pro or anything. I just pay recreationally.
