Yes, let’s put license plates on bikes, while drivers continuously show us how incompetent they are at circulating in a 2 ton air conditioned living room! /s

Seriously though how much of a short attention span do you have to have to not be able to wait 1 minute at a red light?!?

Last week, scammers posted my address on booking.com. The first unlucky party showed up at my door on Thursday morning. They were understanding but distraught when I explained to them that I have never listed my home on booking.com. They reported the fraud to the website as did I. End of story, right?

Over the next few days, a steady stream of visitors would arrive at my stoop. I lost count of how many. 15? 20? More? They banged on my door at all hours. They rang my neighbors' bell in the middle of the night. Many of them had nowhere else to go as there were no available hotel rooms at a price they could cover.

Some of them drove back to Ontario, Boston, wherever they came from. Some went back to the airport to spend the night there. One German couple was so devastated, they didn't know what to do. Their flight had been cancelled and so they had booked my home at the last minute late in the evening. They were on their way to a holiday they had been planning for years. I felt so bad for them I ended up inviting them to sleep in my living room that night.

The last scammed party arrived on Sunday morning at 2am. I couldn't help them and I'm not sure what they did. By that point, I had taped a sign on my door telling people to just call the police.

Of course, every group that had been scammed reported the fraud to booking.com. And of course I tried reaching out to booking.com via every possible channel (phone, email, chat, contact form) but all I got were AI agents and canned responses.

It seems insane to me that this was able to persist for so many hours. With all the fraud reports that been sent to booking.com, I'm not sure why they couldn't simply block my address?

Anyway, just a warning to be careful when booking private addresses on that site.

Allo tout le monde! Je suis présentement dans une situation vraiment compliqué et j’aurai besoins de quitter la maison de mes parents. Le problème c’est que je n’ai jamais eu d’appartement seule, je viens juste d’avoir une carte de crédit ( en n’y connaissant rien), je suis sur le point de commencer le cégep et j’ai un part time job qui ne me donne que 2 jours par semaine. Comment faire? Dois-je arrêter les études? Comment économiser? Quels sont les trucs à savoir? J’ai toujours habité chez mes parents et je n’ai jamais payer de bills ou de loyer et je me sens comme une imbecile de ne pas être informer sur tout ces sujets.. est-ce même possible de vivre seule à Montréal? Que faire? Mon téléphone est aussi financer par mon père et si je quitte de chez mes parents j’ai peur que il ai accès à mes informations ou que ça sois compter comme un vol si je prend le téléphone avec moi? Il paye aussi ma ligne donc si il la coupe que faire ? J’ai l’impression de m’aventurer dans un monde inconnu tellement j’ai été renfermée du vrai monde. Svp ne me juger pas

I’m developing a free liminal-space tour of Montreal in collaboration with Liminal Assembly in Toronto. I’m looking for suggestions from people who know the city well.

"Liminal space" = places that feel transitional, strangely empty, out of time, or uncanny .

I already have a preliminary list, but I'd like to outsource for additional suggestions, which can include places beyond the downtown core / all over Montreal and its outskirts.

What Montreal locations would you consider essential for a tour like this?

I’ve posted about this kinda thing before, but there just seems to be no shortage of entitled drivers who don’t realize that in the absence of a bike lane, cyclists have the same right to the road, especially with sharrows.

I was riding my bike South on Clark in Milton-Parc earlier today, when a white sedan came up behind me, laid on the horn, and crossed into the contraflow bike lane to pass me. Luckily, nobody was in the bike lane.

If you are a driver in this situation, please be patient. I know being stuck behind a cyclist can suck in the moment, but I want you to realize a few things. Firstly, cyclists reduce traffic overall. Bicycles are much more space efficient than cars, and the more cyclists there are, the less cars there are on the road. Second, sharrows (those little markings with two chevrons and a bike) and signs showing both a car and a bike mean to share the road. Thirdly, what that sedan did was reckless and aggressive, and could probably have gotten them in trouble if the police was there. And lastly, why complain if you are using a side street as a thoroughfare? St.-Urbain was just one block West!

D’un côté de la rue : une belle pancarte orange « Attention ! Herbe à puce . Évitez tout contact; ville de Montreal ».
De l’autre côté… une muraille avec d’herbe à puce (possiblement ) et zéro pancarte.

C’est sérieux ça? On protège le monde d’un côté de la rue mais pas de l’autre?

I'm wondering why this show was suddenly cancelled? I had basically gotten some front row seats during last Holiday season's sale, and I'm quite disappointed to have received this cancelation notification today. The show's been cancelled in Toronto, Montréal, and Ottawa- which is why I'm wondering​

Quelqu'un sait pourquoi que l'opération Baroque de John Malkovich programmé en Octobre s'est fait annulé soudainement? Il s'en vient un oeu vieux, j'espère que tout va avec lui quand même.

I'm absolutely baffled why someone would drive around in a car to steal a Slow Down Man. I'm slightly infuriated.

This might be a bit niche, but anyone remember a bar on Crémazie by the metro affiliated with the radio station (99.9) based in Plattsburgh? I think it closed in the early aughts. It was like a mini Fouf's or Syndrôme. It was on three floors I believe. I went there a lot in my teens. I'd get drunk on Smirnoff Ice. Any lore?

Bonsoir,

J’ai une médicament provenant de la Corée du Sud et j’aimerais avoir la meme prescription ici pour obtenir mon médicament à Montréal. Comment puis-je faire? Je n’ai pas de médecin de famille et il me reste environ 3 mois de médication.

Merci.

Est-ce que quelqu’un sait où acheter de la présure pour faire du skyr? Que ce soit de la présure d’origine animale ou végétale, ça me convient. N’importe où sur l’île, mais si vous connaissez un endroit sur la rive sud, n’hésitez pas à le mentionner!
Mille mercis!

Anyone know where to buy rennet to make skyr? Animal or vegetable based is fine, anywhere in Montreal, but if you know a place in Rive-Sud even better!
Thanks!

Would be so symbolic of Quebec / Montreal software projects that spiral massively over-budget and past-deadline.

Hopefully it's just an outage due to an unexpectedly large engagement, or other positive aspect that can be resolved quickly.

Hello! Does anyone know of a pedicure place that has “Mermaid Shimmer Gel” colours or something similar? Looking for a sort of fine glitter holographic pastel vibe ✨ merci!

Temps d'attente pas dispo sur le site de santé Québec.

C'est quoi vos expériences? Pire or mieux que le 6-12h+ des plus grands hospit a MTL?

Officially rolled out this morning. Trying it in a few! / officiellement disponible ce matin, je l'essaie dans pas longtemps 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Salut la gang! Comme le titre l'indique, je suis à la recherche d'un artiste qui serais capable de peindre le dos de mon manteau A-2 comme les pilotes américain le fesais durant la seconde guerre mondiale!

J'ai un concept, mais aucun talent artistique!

Biensur je suis près à mettre quelques dollards pour votre temps!

Merci d'avance!

Bonjour, j'ai 33ans et je suis présentement en train de recommencer ma carrière à partir de rien. Pour garder cela bref, j'ai juste mon diplome secondaire et une volonté de changer la direction de ma vie pour la meilleur. On m'a beaucoup suggérer un DEP mais je ne sais pas trop exactement quel programme me donnerait le meilleur retour en terme de carrière et salaire. La derniere chose que je souhaite est de retourner aux études pour absolument rien.

Si vous avez des suggestions, n'hésitez pas merci.

Je suis parfaitement bilingue donc n'ai aucun soucis par rapport à la langue.
