On the $3/meal thing: I went through a weird period where I tried to be really frugal and would try to limit my grocery budget to $50/week. I am single and educated. It was really hard and ultimately something I gave up, because it made me miserable.

Selon une étude de Re/Max, 75 % des Québécois voient la maison unifamiliale en banlieue ou en campagne comme la résidence idéale. Or, ils ignorent que leur vision mène à la perte de terres agricoles et à l'étalement urbain.

«C’est quand même spectaculaire»: le prix des unifamiliales bondit de 17% à Québec
À Québec, le prix des maisons unifamiliales a bondi de 17% en 2025, un sommet en plus de 20 ans, soit deux fois la hausse observée à Montréal (8%).

Mesdames et messieurs, le SPVM. Des budgets records année après année, ça donne ça : tous les mangeurs de beignes à 10km à la ronde accourent pour se désennuyer de leur basic bullying, tellement excités qu'ils se rentrent dedans en char, s'autopoivrent et tirent tout croche. Cue la 🎵 de Benny Hill.

Inclusionary zoning is a way of transfering the cost of social housing from the general public to new condo buyers. In some circumstances it might just be the cost of doing business. But it's not especially progressive.

Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there. "It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

A quick explainer on Montreal’s election: The urbanist Projet Montréal party of outgoing mayor Valérie Plante has lost the election to the opposition Ensemble Montréal. Projet deserves a *lot* of credit for Montreal’s transformation in the past 10 or 15 years to be more bike/pedestrian-friendly.
