Things that happen when you schedule your posts...

Snow covered the lawn, a tree and cars behind a condo somewhere in Montreal, Quebec.

Feeling cozy on this first snowy morning of winter. #remembranceday #Montreal

This is a rant into the void: I CAN'T STAND IT when websites and apps push a bunch of pop-ups, and did you know about our new thing, when all I wanted to do was the thing I logged on to do! Leave me alone and don't make me click 3 irrelevant things before I can do what I came here to do. Thanks.

OMG you called Montreal West part of the West Island 😭

Ce n'est pas complet, mais as-tu regardé ici : resultats.election-montreal.ca
Au moins tu peux voir le taux par secteur.

That eye roll!!

Merci, ça exprime pas mal mes sentiments. Je suis déçue, mais pas surprise. J'ai commencé à voter pour Projet Montréal à l'époque de Richard Bergeron. J'ai vécu longtemps dans une ville régie par des hommes frustrants et malhonnêtes. Nous allons survivre à l'époque de Soraya aussi.

Can we petition Pierrefonds-Roxboro to demerge? I really don't see how people who live 45 minutes from downtown have a say in how the city is run.
It wouldn't change the outcome today -we're cooked- but still.

Too late

*are those gang signs (I swear I reviewed my text before I posted argh)

I love this squirrel. I see it all over my neighbourhood, but this one takes the cake, with its Montreal logo necklace and... Are those have signs lol 🐿️✌️

It's coming! #Halloween

Atwater market in Montreal, Quebec

Check out this Halloween skeleton at the Atwater market, enjoying the colourful flowers. It looked so happy!

😧 that is so mean!

This is from a hike earlier this fall, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Mont Ham. You can't tell from my video but the colours were beautiful along the route, especially through Orford and Bromont.

Did you mean the university of Québec at Montreal? UQAM?

The view from the top of Mont Loup Garou (werewolf mountain, in French) in the Laurentians, this weekend. Yes, it's past peak colours. It's a nice 2-2.5 hour hike through woods and there's a cabin at the top if you want to stop for lunch. #hiking #Québec

Thanks for the info!

Squirrel. The cute kind.

Lake Matley, near Saint Adele, Quebec, on a late fall day.

It's past peak colours up in the Laurentians. Still beautiful and splendid for a hike and a spa day. This was at Mont Loup Garou (means werewolf in French).

Good point that it wasn't strictly Canada per se. I was thinking that they ought to have had a stronger position against slavery.

Bananas to think that Canada remained neutral during the American civil war!

I thought we were done with this now. So last winter!

Totally. My mother is from Chile and she is always in awe of how easy it is to find parking in Montreal.

A lock along the Chambly canal. Do not turn the handle like this naughty boy. It will actually open and close the doors, and make the Parks Canada employee come out of her cute hut.

Entrance to the location of the old fort Ste -Thérèse, first built in 1665.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a bike ride along the Chambly canal.

A brutal war

Immediately identify the tourist who tells you how much they love the "old town" in MON-tree-al. Nevermind pronouncing in French: English locals call it Old Mun-tree-al. Si non, c'est le vieux Moh-reh-al

I was laughed at, literally, by border agents on my way into Scotland when I mispronounced Edinburgh.🫣

Just walked by it tonight!

Not Soraya, please! You don't have to vote for Craig, but please don't help usher in an era of torn-up bike paths and Airbnb's run amok.
