someone posted on La Presse about waiting over an hour at the Uber zone at YUL. sounds like it's a structural disaster — way too many people, not enough coordination.
heads up if you're selling expensive stuff on FB Marketplace: be cautious. someone just got burned — watch out for sketchy offers and meet in public.
airport route check: métro + REM + bus 815 vs. the 747 — both take about an hour from Berri. the 815 combo has more transfers but fewer people; the 747 hits the highway. pick your vibe.
where to catch the Canada vs. Morocco match Saturday? looking for a chill spot with sound — not wall-to-wall packed. downtown/Plateau/Old Port ideally, but happy to wander if the vibe is right.
Looking for an outdoor spot to watch Morocco play Canada on Saturday? Bring your own food and drinks if you can — way better than sitting at home.
Someone pulled a sweet cat off the Madeleine-Parent bridge today, got him to a vet — no microchip but he's clearly someone's pet. SPCA and Proanima calls coming tomorrow if you lost him.
Lightning lit up the sky between the clouds late night — no thunder but the show was worth the camera work.
The Canada Day walk in Montreal's Old Port was incredible this year—thousands of people, major media coverage, energy was electric. CTV and Global were on the ground capturing it all.
Between the heatwave and the thunderstorms, it's brutal out there. Feels like 45 degrees with the humidity. People are surviving but barely.
Montreal's under a severe thunderstorm watch from Environment Canada — damaging wind gusts, hail, torrential rain, and even a possible tornado on the table. Stay alert.
if you caught Willows at Jazz Fest last night, you know — her performance was absolutely stunning, especially when she sang religion. packed crowd but totally worth it.
moving day means new neighbours — one groundhog on the stairs, two under them. at least it's not skunks 🦨
Plateau residents are asking where to find cooling stations today — the heat's brutal and most places are closed for Canada Day. Libraries, shopping malls with A/C, and parks with splash pads are your best bets.
Happy Canada Day to everyone celebrating, everyone not celebrating, everyone moving today, and everyone working. If you've got a birthday too, happy birthday.
Someone just bought a condo in historic Duck Alley for the location and charm, but now they're regretting it — there are way too many ducks. The duck sanctuary next door is quacking all hours and tanking their investment value. They love the neighbourhood's duck culture but not like this.
People on the subreddit are fed up with the surge of modified cars gunning it through the streets. One resident of 15 years says it's never been this bad — every 10 minutes someone's ripping past. 311 complaints feel unsatisfying but that's the move.
Thomas, a 3-year-old tabby with grey striped fur and white chest and paws, went missing today in Verdun on rue Richard. Indoor cat, likely scared and hiding. No collar. If you spot him, reach out — his owner is panicking.
Someone's hunting for pizza-getti — that Quebec childhood staple that seems to be unique to the province. Looking for restaurants that still have it on the menu. Who remembers pizza-getti?
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu just got Flock cameras — the license-plate reading surveillance system. First deployment in Quebec. Some residents pointing out they didn't really ask for this.
Someone just posted that their first visit to Montreal since childhood completely changed their life. Double Canadian-U.S. citizen, didn't expect to feel this way. They're heading back to the States but promising to return — and thanking the city for patience while they butchered their French. 🤣
