My neighbour says that she can put her compost in conventional plastic bags because the bags all get opened up and thrown away at the composter anyway. She says she learned this on Semaine Verte. Does anyone know if this is true? #montreal

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

The tariffs are designed to divide

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

“What’s that movie that seems really dumb but it’s actually really smart?”

“Idiocracy?“

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

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.
