Nice detail in #Montréal’s Edouard-Montpetit REM station: natural rock walls. The platforms are 73 metres below the street—height of a 20 storey building. The rock is gabbro, a very hard igneous rock. 100,000 kg of explosives were used to build the station.

I love that new #transit smell!

Getting a press tour of #Montréal’s new REM line this morning. Starting at Edouard-Montpetit station.

A clean, light, modern édicule (entry kiosk). And there’s parking for my bicycle…

Here’s the front-end view of the new REM line to Deux-Montagnes in #Montréal. Between Côte-de-
Liesse and Montpellier. A very smooth ride so far…

Postcard from #Montréal. Bixis under the snow. I rode my own winter bike to work. Rough sledding, with few of the streets plowed. And 20 cm on Nov. 11 is a bit much, ‘stie!

#IETF124 was, of course, great, but I also enjoyed Montreal a lot.
My flight home is only this afternoon so I went for a walk to grab some bagels and check out Habitat 67.

"We’re the anti-austerity party, the tax-the-rich party, the electoral reform party. We’re the activist party."

Has #Montreal found its Mamdani?

#Canada's 2nd largest city votes for a new mayor on Nov. 2, 2 days before #NYC.

A new party is shaking things up. I sat down w/ leader Craig Sauvé...

🇨🇵 Plusieurs manifestations de solidarité avec le mouvement étatsunien #nokings auront lieu au #Canada (dont à Montréal : voir lien). Mais pour éviter toute confusion avec le statut monarchique du pays, des adaptations sont proposées : le "NoKings" devient "NoTyrants" et le "NoCrown" passe à "NoClown".
De l'art de s'adapter...

🇬🇧 Several demonstrations of solidarity with the US #nokings movement will take place in #Canada (including in Montreal: see link). However, to avoid any confusion with the country's monarchical status, some adaptations have been proposed: “NoKings” becomes “NoTyrants” and ‘NoCrown’ becomes “NoClown.”
A real art of adapting.

Radio-Canada, quel titre petit. Il y avait plus de 10 000 manifestant-es au plus fort de l'événement. C'est vraiment du mauvais journalisme. L'atmosphère était passionnée, avec des personnes de tous horizons, des citoyens et citoyennes plus que jamais déterminé-es à mettre la pression sur le gouvernement canadien.

@dada So, if you want to meet too with English speaking people, it might be a good idea to post also in comments a post in English to yours original post in French. 😊

Like I do, as we are used too in this country:

English follows

Post in French

Then same post English in the comments by changing the post language.

For # I’m adding #Toronto #Montreal #Ottawa to nail the cities based on your original post.

And bienvenue/welcome here! 🇨🇦

"These damn bicycles are taking over the streets!"

NEW MCGILL STUDY: Hard facts from #Montreal to set things straight.

Cars now get 79.6% of the infrastructure area (roads) in the city.

Pedestrians (sidewalks): 18.3%

Micromobility (lanes for bikes, scooters etc.): 1.57%

We’ve been trying to make this happen outside our kids’ school in #Montreal. It’s been an uphill slog, as I explain in this HIGH SPEED blog. But there may be good news soon, stay tuned!
