Quebec's Injustice System – The Rover There are hundreds of people jailed in Quebec every year for minor infractions. Why? Access to a fair trial is quietly becoming luxury most cannot afford.

Okay, Trump and Zelensky are taking quite a bit of oxygen on here but DID YOU KNOW Quebec jails hundreds of people for minor shit and that its prisons are the deadliest in Canada? @bigmedicine.bsky.social and I investigated: therover.ca/quebecs-inju...

The Closure of ‘Iconic’ Nouvel Établissement and the Uncertain Future of Nightlife – The Rover The City of Montreal is promising a better future for nightlife venues, but bylaws impacting venues are left up to the boroughs.

Montreal’s night life has always been for outcasts and weirdos but it’s being suffocated by gentrification and goddamn noise complaints.
Can the city’s new nightlife policy help us freaks fight back???? @emeliafournier.bsky.social with another brilliant piece.
