@grandemcrae Oh, I once looked at my options beside the train and the terminus looked like it was in an eastern suburb. Might have confused it with an intermediate stop.

@GabEnHerbe I don't know if I consider the union station bus terminal to be a strange place 😭

Took the Megabus this time from Montreal to Toronto instead of Via Rail.
- Much nicer bus than the train cars. 2nd floor view and less stuffy.
- Not even more bumpy
- Only 1 hour late much better than Via
- Half the price of Via and we modified our trip 24 hours before we left

On oublie souvent la pression énorme dans les canalisations.

@OldSanuk @Ramsey_Kilani But, like, every such aspect is worse in Toronto
English
@Ramsey_Kilani No. I was born & raised in Montreal, graduating from Sir George Williams University, but that Montreal with a vibrant city core is long gone. Now, it’s just another dystopian city of concrete & glass, with the same multinational chain stores lining the streets.

OK people where should I go in Montreal.
Food, streets, buildings, museums. You guys know it all.

@0A1L2E3X_4B @bouboulandQC Le saviez-vous? Valérie Plante n’est pas la seule élue municipale du Québec.
Français
@bouboulandQC la super mairesse va faire plus de parcs éponges, au lieu de régler le problème à la source: infrastructures inadéquates. Facile, juste à mettre ça sur le dos des changements climatiques. On connaît le refrain des politiciens incompétents par coeur.

Montreal needs to reannex this guy's town by force. Talking like some warlord about murdering children from the soap box of "mayor of rich suburb that leeches off of Montreal" gtfo

Israel must strike first and strike hard, eradicating every security threat with relentless force. The mission must be relentless and unyielding until every adversary, including the civilian supporters, fully grasps the magnitude of their defeat. This is a battle for survival, and Israel must demonstrate unparalleled strength and resolve.

@vivbastarache Les Québécois seraient les Français d’Amérique du Nord?! (Je dis ça en soutien)

Il faut plus d’offre, pas stimuler la demande 🤡

Important update: Canadian financial institutions are now offering 30-year mortgages for first-time buyers purchasing a new build! This will help younger Canadians enter the housing market sooner and lower their monthly payments.
Français
@JustinTrudeau Super! Maintenant les mensualités restent inchangées et on en ajoute 60. 🤩
Français
If you have a longer-term mortgage, you can make smaller payments to start. That means you can buy your first home sooner.
Starting August 1, more first-time homebuyers will have that option.

it’s crazy how on the island of Montreal there are all these tiny suburbs with some of the most expensive emaculate homes, sitting amongst all the medium density and high rises. Yin and Yang if you will

@brookebikesmke @RachelVT42 @urbanistvc @stan_okl Most children start their first year of primary school at 6, and the second language is taught then too.

@GabEnHerbe @urbanistvc @stan_okl @brookebikesmke Learning from kindergarten onwards makes it easier to become truly bilingual though.

@urbanistvc @stan_okl @brookebikesmke Québécois start learning English (or French) as a second language in primary school. Does not have to be at kindergarten age.

@stan_okl @brookebikesmke Needs to start younger than public school typically starts

@LordTommmy @duertufs @amindfulmanlet May be where I was was more conservative, but boasting about it didn’t seem so Tunisian!

Every country thinks their culture has a unique trait of treating guests well and drinking heavily

@duertufs @amindfulmanlet Tunisians def don’t say that, except, may be, for the richest of them!

@amindfulmanlet Literally every Muslim country except for Afghanistan boasts about how they're Muslim but drink alcohol lmao. See Bosnia, Turkey, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Tunisia etc.

J'ai profité du 1er juillet pour relire "Bonheur d'occasion" qui nous plonge dans le Mtl ouvrier des années 40. Un portrait de pauvreté et d'espoir qui prouve qu' il suffit parfois que le père quitte sa famille pour faire de la place dans un logement trop petit. #Créativité
