Quebecers’ rights are under attack. Why aren’t we more worried? An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

A Quebec scientist is petitioning the federal government to stop what he sees as a weakening of pesticide regulation and is asking them to follow the science.

Just about the dumbest thing ever. Car-obsessed folks seem unable to understand that cities belong to more than just them.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

« Trente ans, c’est une génération. Pour nous, la ruine de la Malting a presque plus d’importance que le bâtiment d’origine, soutient-elle. Pendant qu’il ne s’y passait rien, il s’y passait en fait beaucoup de choses. » 💔💔 www.lapresse.ca/actualites/g...

The saddest news. I have twice been a juror for the Governor-General's Award for non-fiction. Both times, I was left with more than 100 books of Canadian non-fiction, some of it excellent, and both times, my local librairies declined because they had no room.

“The idea is to preserve it. But we’re not there yet, not by a long shot. So that’s the commitment that’s been made at the technical level for now,” said Marikym Gaudreault, speaking on behalf of the site owner.” That sentence has more escape routes than a fire station. Sigh… 💔

No different than the CAQ scapegoating temporary workers after it asked the federal gov’t to allow it to double the permitted share of temporary foreign workers in Quebec to tackle labour shortages back in 2021-22. These folks rely on voters’ political amnesia.

Still think it “would cost too much” to solve the #ClimateCrisis? It will cost FAR too much not to. #ClimateBreakdown

Alberta goes to the polls today, to decide whether the province should separate from Canada. The fact that it's even happening is nothing less than psychological warfare, waged by damn liars. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

“Why are Quebec women being shortchanged? This province has one of the highest rates of breast cancer in the country, yet we remain the only Canadian province where a medical prescription is required for women between the ages of 45 and 49 to access screening.” montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

That’s nasty on every level. Wow. Ya they don’t care. When I was a teen I called 911 because I was on Atwater Cabot square and saw a homeless lady (indigenous) lying on the ground. Not moving. Cops came and go “oh 🙄 that’s Petula”. The fuck? So? Check on her! Ffs. 28 years ago and I’ll never forget

This is deeply embarrassing behaviour. Shame on them.

This is utterly vile.

When it comes to preventive care, Quebec is quite a bit lacking. My wife that has history of breast cancer in her family still struggled to get her first examination. And I’m appalled by how the province ignores colorectal cancer screening in their policies, it’d save so many lives and money.

If anyone still doesn’t understand why I frequently say that Montreal has been doing the best fine-grained civic city-building in North America, watch and share this video by @streetfilms.bsky.social with @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social. Ped streets, school streets, urban greening, bike-lanes, and more!

I met with a friend in Paris who used to be the single person in school getting there by bike (in the nineties) ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Paris: these results are simply majestic #alwaysberiding 🌈🇫🇷🇪🇺

A despicable waste of resources just to make the city worse and less safe

I fear this is the beginning of the end for this beloved Saint-Henri fixture and I’m honestly gutted. 💔 montrealgazette.com/news/canada-...

So sad to hear this. Mongrain was a well-known Quebec journalist & host. A passionate supporter of immigrants, he spoke of the responsibilities — not just the expectations—of a society welcoming them. Those unfamiliar with him should watch some of his classic TV outbursts directed at racists.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

Parfaitement absurde.

He makes a good point.
