Tuesday morning: 16, mostly cloudy, soccer and Broadway tonight.
Gas is up, break-ins are up, but Schwartz's is still Schwartz's. Here's what you need.
Hey. Sixteen degrees this morning, mostly cloudy, and you've got a solid 13 hours of daylight before the sun drops at 7:32 PM. UV's sitting at 6—that's high—so if you're outside for lunch, the sunscreen's doing real work. Nothing wild weather-wise, just bring a layer.
Not hearing about any transit disruptions this morning, so your commute should move the way it normally does. Gas is pushing over two bucks a litre across the city though, so if you're filling up, that's the news—Middle East tensions are pinching supply globally and we're all feeling it at the pump.
Couple things worth knowing: break-ins in August hit 506, and we're at nearly 3,800 for the year so far. Worth locking your door and keeping an eye on your block. There's also still fallout from the Repentigny train derailment back in July—residents are still pushing for safety answers almost two months on, and it's not going away quietly. Meanwhile, the PQ is pushing to extend Bill 101 to CEGEPs and colleges are pushing back hard. Standard Monday politics, but worth tracking.
If you're thinking lunch, heads up: there's a recall on raw breaded chicken and fish from five Viande à bas prix locations—missing cooking instructions on the packages. Don't grab from those spots if you were planning on it. Otherwise, swing by your regular or try something new. Schwartz's is swapping out their black cherry soda for a local alternative because tariffs are biting on U.S. imports, so if you're due for smoked meat, grab it and say hi to whoever's slicing.
Tonight's got options. There's a soccer match—Forge FC at FC Supra at Stade Boreale up in Laval, kicks at 6:00 PM if that's your thing. Or The Lion King's running at Place des Arts at 7:30 PM if you want Broadway. Either one's early enough for a school night, and the weather's dry for walking around after.
Sunset's at 7:32, so you've got time to get where you're going and still see it. Stay dry, lock your door, and have a solid Tuesday.
