Hello fellow residents!
I was wondering about this since last winter but does anyone remember when the last mayor tried to do a city tree a la Rockefeller but failed miserably and the poor tree was dubbed the “sad sapin” ?
Welp, I’ve been thinking about this as mentioned since last winter and thought the city should try to do it again but have a better process for selecting a big and beautiful tree but the location is what has me stumped, because first I thought somewhere in the city center like Square Phillips but then I thought probably not cuz the fountain’s there, then I thought maybe more appropriately near city hall close to the old port but then I didn’t really see a good spot for it, maybe in front of the huge Ferris wheel but then it would block the wheel so that probably wouldn’t work, later I thought of a couple more spots but then reconsidered those probably wouldn’t work either, now I’ve settled and thought it might work if they put it in Jarry park, there’s a lot of open space there just before the basketball courts and they could probably even setup a Christmas village for the holiday season. What does everyone think, would this sound like plausible idea/suggestion for the city/new mayor?

Thanks in advance for any feedback 🙏😊

PS: Reposted because I forgot to ask as a question in the title 😅

Je voudrais utiliser le transport publique, mais je ne sais pas c'est quoi la meilleure application pour recevoir des données précise à propos du transport publique pour mes besoins. Est-ce que je devrais utiliser l'application chrono officielle de montréal où devrais-je utiliser une autre application non-officielle qui trace bien mieux le transport et les lignes qui son disponible? Merci.

Bonjour, je termine un DEC en électronique programmable (243.G0) en hiver 2027. Je me demande comment le marché de l'emploi se porte pour les technologues en électronique à Montréal.

1. Si vous avez gradué dans les 1–3 dernières années, combien de temps avez-vous mis à trouver un emploi, et à quel salaire de départ?

2. Est-ce que le bac en génie électrique a fait une vraie différence de salaire ou de promotion, comparé à un DEC avec de l'expérience?

Je demande parce que je connais quelque unes qui ne sont pas capable de trouver un emploi après fini son BAC chez McGill et son Maîtrise à Concordia. Je veux avoir plus d'information avant de conclure.

Merci d'avance!

Hey! Is anyone selling tickets to the SAT Halloween party on the 31st? I waited too long, and now it’s sold
Out… plz!

Hello! Ive recently started learning Mandarin Chinese and think that having friends in montreal who are fluent, semi-fluent, or even also learning would be really helpful for improving! (Also a good way to make some friends in general). Feel free to leave a comment :)

L’ex-vice-présidente du Congrès mondial ouïghour, Zumretay Arkin, sera candidate pour le Bloc québécois lors des prochaines élections partielles dans la circonscription de Laurier–Sainte-Marie, à Montréal.

[…]

Zumretay Arkin est née à Ürümqi, en Chine, avant d’immigrer au Canada avec ses parents quand elle avait 10 ans. Elle a milité activement à l’échelle internationale, notamment aux Nations unies, pour dénoncer la répression, les détentions arbitraires et le travail forcé de la minorité ouïghoure en Chine. Elle a entre autres été vice-présidente et directrice du plaidoyer global du Congrès mondial ouïghour, basé à Munich, en Allemagne.

Elle a également expliqué avoir passé « beaucoup de temps » dans Laurier–Sainte-Marie, notamment lors de ses études à l’Université de Montréal, et avoir « beaucoup d’attachement » pour cette circonscription.

C'est quoi ce nouveau site web mobile pour la STM? La carte de proximité live des bus et horaires à tout changé pour le pire. Ce n'est pas aussi pratique que l'ancien et tout les favoris on disparu!

What's going on with the new STM mobile website? The live location map with nearby bus lines and schedules has changed for the worse. The previous proximity map was straightforward and easy to use and configure, now all our favourites have disappeared!

I’m very last minute in my search for a Halloween party… a lot of parties have already sold out or they are on the 30th (I’m only available on the 31st). Any recommendations for Halloween party for someone in their 20s. I’m into dance, techno, rnb or hip hop type of music and so any party would work lol as long as I’m surrounded by mainly my age demographic.

Hey everyone! 35M from Mtl here, planning to go to the Bimbo event on October 30th. None of my usual group is going, so I’m looking for a crew to pre-drink with and head over together. DM me if you have room for one more!

I’m looking to discover some good street musicians around Montreal.

I’ve seen someone playing in front of Notre Dame Basilica in Old Montreal, but I’m not sure which days they usually perform.

Does anyone know where I can find good street musicians, and whether they usually play on weekdays or weekends? Any recommendations for specific spots or the best times to go would be appreciated!

Who’s up for a back alley Xmas market competition? Each neighbourhood can compete! I am thinking about the kids and how Montreal has really declined in holiday spirits.

Est-ce que vous avez eu du plaisir ou c'était juste dégeulasse?

C'est quoi vos conseils pour un nouveau participant? ( On arrive comment en avance et tout, combien d'argent, etc.)

I’m trying to find out the recipe for either the original or the spicy Dagwoods sauce so it would help if someone who works for it would reply

Does anyone have a copy of the VtM 5E core rulebook kicking around that they're not using? I'd be happy to pay for it. I'm running a Vampire: the Masquerade campaign for my friends this November, and although I have PDFs of all the sourcebooks, I'd love a physical copy of the rules for quick reference. I'd buy it myself, but it's sold out at every game store in Montreal that I could find and on backorder at just about every retailer I could find online. :(

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 “contractor is busy, will be within the next two weeks” 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 system…Which is really strange. I would file with the TAL but that costs money and takes months unpin months. I’m really at a loss here. If the stairs fall while someone is on them they’ll fall onto the spikes of wrought iron fence below, and literally be impaled. What other steps can we take?

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 ?

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.

Laval tient mordicus au prolongement du métro sur son territoire. Dans l’espoir de faire avancer le dossier, la Ville vient d’octroyer un contrat de 287 000 dollars à la firme Systra Canada afin qu’elle examine de plus près les projections en matière de construction immobilière et les estimations d’achalandage pour le prolongement de la branche ouest de la ligne orange du métro.

Alors qu’un nouveau gouvernement s’installe à Québec, la Ville de Laval a voulu « prendre les devants » en commandant cette étude qui permettra d’évaluer les retombées potentielles d’un prolongement du métro sur les déplacements et sur le développement résidentiel, commercial et institutionnel. Elle chiffrera non seulement l’achalandage attendu, mais également les retombées fiscales potentielles.

Le projet examiné par la Ville comporte cinq nouvelles stations sur le territoire lavallois, dont deux seraient dans l’axe de la branche est de la ligne orange, qui, à l’heure actuelle, se rend jusqu’à la station Montmorency. Les deux branches se croiseraient à la station désignée par le nom de Saint-Martin. Le projet nécessiterait la construction de la station Bois-Franc sur le territoire montréalais.

Le mandat confié à Systra consiste à examiner le potentiel de ce projet sur 30 ans. Laval, qui compte près de 460 000 habitants, poursuit sa croissance démographique, souligne la Ville dans le document soumis au conseil municipal le 6 octobre dernier. « Si les habitudes de déplacement demeurent inchangées et que la part des déplacements effectués en automobile se maintient au niveau actuel, plus de 200 000 déplacements automobiles additionnels pourraient être générés annuellement par les Lavallois [à l’horizon de 2050] », fait valoir la Ville.

While walking today I saw a crowd of what I assume are protesters, im wondering what are they protesting about if anyone know? Greatly appreciated

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 it’s just another day in the park. Luckily we have good insurance (and much more sadder things can happen). Anyways, yeah avoid it. 😕

EDIT: avoid parking here if you have a license plate that isn’t local and likely drive a Toyota SUV😂
