the mbam sucks because it’s private, headed by desmarais scions and funded by the wealthiest of westmount. ottawa is more conservative than montreal but the national gallery is a better art museum.

My 89 yo Lebanese-Palestinian-Italian grandmother, who fled the Nakba in 48 as a child to Lebanon, has essentially never lived more than a few years at a time in nearly a century of existence without being impacted by Israeli state violence.

And then they call this 'crisis in the middle east.'

Emmanuel Damas est mort d'une infection dentaire dans un camp de concentration trumpien. Ses geôliers l'ont laissé souffrir le martyre pendant des semaines sans lui porter assistance. C'est un meurtre raciste doublé d'actes de torture et les dirigeants européens lèche-MAGA en sont complices.

Almost certainly, but the Canadian offices are in Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver. They work with the RCMP a lot

Mise en valeur des escaliers de Québec: Bruno Marchand salue l’initiative Bruno Marchand a salué l’idée de faire des escaliers «un produit signature», un nouveau symbole et une marque distinctive de la ville de Québec.

Parle-moi de ça, un maire fier de ses escaliers bien entretenus, été comme hiver. www.journaldequebec.com/2026/03/04/m...

Le refus de déneiger les escaliers publics à Montréal et Ottawa est une vrai honte pour des villes soi-disant hivernales. J’espère qu’elles s’inspireront de l’exemple de Québec

Have they improved the fit on these? I remember the nose bridge not holding its shape well and the ear loops were loose. My go to in those situations are the breatheteq but they only come in black, purple, or blue.

Carney could have said something like this. He could have said something morally defensible but weaker than this. He could have said nothing at all.

What he actually said is that Canada explicitly supports Trump's war. And he's wrong: Canada wants none of this.

I imagine the low cost of housing would also factor into that, especially a decade ago when the gap between Toronto and Montreal rent was even bigger.

Correct. It’s not uncommon for Canadian students to work for a year inbetween semesters to bring the cost down.

Archives matter - but not to the Carney government. Canada has only ONE federal funding program for community archives, and they just killed it. Gone.

Is there any car sharing in NYC? In MTL you can easily pick a car off the street and drive out of the city for hours or days at a fairly reasonable price. On summer weekends though, demand vastly exceeds capacity so the fleet is entirely claimed by Saturday morning.

L'absence de règlementation plus sévère n'est pas très compliquée à expliquer je pense.

Il suffit probablement d'aller regarder à la Ville, à Québec et à Ottawa le nb de nos "représentants" qui sont ds l'immobilier locatif.

+ la crainte de s'aliéner électoralement les "proprios"

Voilou

Americans did in fact care about Gaza, and the government notably had the police beat the shit out of them on college campuses across the country.
