Very happy that the city will end car traffic on Camilien-Houde. Sceptical about reducing parking around Beaver Lake. I fear that a lot of families will stop coming if there isn’t adequate parking. @alexnorrismontreal.bsky.social #poltmtl #projetmontreal

What if all federal parties promised that if they win the election, they’ll form a government of national unity, and invite members of the other parties to join their cabinet, with a mandate to set aside partisanry and focus on the trade war? #cdnpoli

L'article semble suggérer que les deux tiers du tracé seront souterrains. Ai-je bien compris ?

In Trois-Rivières’ defence, their current mayor is making a serious densification effort. This infrastructure problem is blocking that effort.

TIL that #Montreal dumps 40% of its snow in the Francon quarry, forming a glacier that doesn’t fully melt in summer, and contains snow from as far back as 2008. A UQAM researcher wants to use this glacier to provide AC to the surrounding neighbourhoods.

« M. Roy, qui a aussi évoqué la notion d’« éléphant blanc », se demande s’il ne vaudrait pas mieux investir dans d’autres initiatives comme la productivité – un créneau où les ports canadiens traînent la patte. »

Your last comment was on the impact on small businesses. Only two of the comments you shared address that. The Guardian one I can’t find. Another does, and it’s from 20 years ago, with no sources. Hardly a compelling case.

Gracia Kasoki-Katahwa is the compassion candidate. Every idea and intervention seems to come from a place of deeply caring for people.

Luc Rabouin exudes an aura of competence and leadership.

Laurence Lavigne-Lalonde gives the impression that she’s organized and that she knows the issues inside and out.

Ericka Alneus is one of those politicians that’s instantly likeable and full of energy. She’ll be a great campaigner.

Guedwig Bernier is an ideas guy and he’s good at explaining his ideas, many of which were relatively simple and innovative technical fixes to larger problems.

I can’t find any sources to support your claim. Do you have any?

Has that happened in the other cities that have done this?

Maybe (and I’m being generous) she just wants to rile up that base before shifting strategy later. If so, it’s a questionable strategy given that she’s running unopposed.

She proposes nothing, but is positioning herself to be the ‘pragmatic’ manifestation of anti-bike sentiment.

If this poll accurately represents how Quebecers are boycotting the US, then the value of that boycott is in the billions per year. #polqc #polmtl #cdnpoli
