Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Rebel News's reaction to this ruling is about what you'd expect. 100
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 07/10/2026QS was basically a non-factor outside central areas of Montreal, downtown Quebec City and the centre of Sherbrooke. 100
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Though it finished ahead of Québec solidaire in overall votes, that vote was too spread out to win a single riding. Its best showing was in Jonquière (Yannick Gagnon), with 33.34%. 100
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Conservatives did decent in the regions but were strongest in the Quebec City suburbs and were not much of a factor in Montreal (their appeal to anglos appeared not to do much). 100
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The PQ won the regions and the 450. Those dark blue ones in the east are Matane-Matapédia-Mitis (Pascal Bérubé) and Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Joël Arseneau) 100
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Heat map time! Liberal support was strongest in western Montreal, Laval, the Townships and Outaouais regions, with a hint of Quebec City. #polqc 100
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Journal de Montréal columnist (you probably know which one) blames ethnic votes for Liberal wins on the south shore www.journaldemontreal.com/2026/10/07/l... 010

Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Élections Québec is holding a voting results simulation this afternoon so the media can check their systems. It has fake candidates and results, but just in case, congratulations to the new Parti accès propriété et équité/Climat Québec/Parti populaire du Québec/Bloc Pot minority government. #polqc 131
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Cette élection, il y a un parti avec les noms synonymes de succès. Drainville. Dubé. Bélanger, et, surtout, Fréchette. Québec solidaire. #polqc 030
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 11/09/2026And on Page A6, a photo of Ivana Trump, who was at the Montreal casino doing a fundraiser for the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. 010
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 11/09/2026This was that morning's paper, by the way. A photo of an elderly crossing guard, a story of Quebec doctors moving to Ontario, and a promise from Quebec's premier that English-language health services would be maintained. 130
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 11/09/202625 years ago today was the last time The Gazette produced an extra edition, a 16-page tabloid (six of which were just photos) rushed to press late in the morning with whatever info was known at that time. Changes in the way we consume breaking news means it will almost certainly never happen again. 142
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 10/09/2026There are now 12 candidates (announced or registered) in Verdun riding, the most of any of Quebec's 127 ridings so far. (Fewest: 4 each in Beauce-Sud, Duplessis, Rimouski and Ungava) #polqc 000

Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Tried the new virtual Opus card with the Chrono app on Android. Very easy to load new fares. You tap with your phone, no need to unlock or even turn the screen on. There's maybe a second of delay compared to physical Opus cards but it works. 070
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Amazon Prime Video announces NBA schedule for coming season. Includes two Raptors games (Nov. 20 and Jan. 7) NBA Cup in December, two games in Europe Jan. 14/17, the Play-In Tournament and Eastern Conference Finals. 000

Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Quebecor has filed a #CRTC complaint against Corus, saying (apparently) it is unreasonable about conditions for distribution of its specialty channels on a Quebecor-owned brand, apparently Fizz. The application is heavily redacted, *including the name of Quebecor's own brand*. 000

Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I can't imagine being so triggered by a former politician — even one I don't like — being in a new relationship. Like, if Stephen Harper or George W. Bush or Boris Johnson or Viktor Orban started dating a celebrity, I wouldn't write an op-ed to express my disgust. I'd just ... not care. 170
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 25/06/2026MPs still paying for self-promoting Facebook ads I see. 020

Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 18/06/2026The #CRTC is considering an application by Evanov Radio to use the former frequency of Toronto's CIRR-FM (Proud FM), whose licence it still owns almost three years after the station shut down, for a retransmitter of CHLO AM 530 Brampton, in the Halton Hills area west of Toronto. 020

Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 03/06/2026CBC has applied to the #CRTC to convert Radio-Canada's ICI Première station CBKF-2 in Saskatoon from AM (860) to FM (91.7) with a 44,225W transmitter. It also proposes power increases to CBKF-FM-6 in Prince Albert (to 20kW) and CBKF-FM-3 in Zenon Park (to 9kW) to mitigate loss of coverage. 000

Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Random story from Saturday: At the Victoire parade and party, there was a delay between the players' arrival and their presentation on stage. Why? Well, they'd been drinking quite a bit on the bus and a bunch of them really had to pee, and there were only two potties available backstage. 040
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 30/05/2026This doesn't include the crowd still walking over from the parade. 110
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Time to celebrate a Montreal hockey championship. @victoire-lphf.bsky.social 131
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Montreal Victoire celebration schedule tomorrow. Team will be on a double-decker bus for the short parade starting at 11. The event will be broadcast live on RDS Info. 041
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 26/05/2026The Gazette (my employer) got a bit slimmer in print today, with a four-column layout that's about an inch narrower and an inch shorter than it was last week. (Insert grumbles about how back in my day the paper was six columns wide...) 330
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 21/05/2026And as is tradition, changing a URL slightly can reveal the merch that could have been. 010
Steve Faguy @fagstein.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Jean St-Onge will continue doing French radio play-by-play for the Alouettes as it moves to 99.5, and Luc Brodeur-Jourdain will take over analyst duties. 000
