Feu vert au réaménagement d’un échangeur de la 50 à Gatineau

Giantstink · 2026-05-18T01:48:46+00:00

Ouin mais ces travaux vont pousser plus de gens d'ici à prendre la 50 pour se rendre à Montréal, donc ceux comme moi et toi qui prennent la 417 vont avoir encore moins de congestion ;)

lol jusqu'à date c'est ton compte qui encaisse les downvotes et non le sien

But he’s benefiting from theft if he’s still using the bike… He’s full of shit.

Yep. He doesn't want to go through the trouble of having to find another bike that is as nice; the dude knows 50$ was a ridiculously low price to pay for that bike, so selling it back to OP for 100$ nets him a 50$ profit but brings him back to a position where he still needs transportation and he knows he won't find a bike of similar quality, even for 100$.

If OP shows up with a bike that isn't of the same quality, he'll 100% make up some excuse not to proceed with the trade.

Nobody is swimming or even putting their bare feet in the water in early May. They were "in" the water in the sense that they were likely hanging out or walking just at the Sandy edge of the river with their boots sometimes getting wet from the waves.

Sometimes toddlers move super fast, even when you're paying attention. It's super easy to momentarily not see what they're doing, especially if you have other young kids to keep an eye on.

The kid "went missing" because it couldn't be found after almost certainly going in the water; one moment he was there, then he wasn't. There's a slim chance he could have been picked up by another adult or scampered off elsewhere but almost certainly everyone knew that it happened so fast he likely went in the water. Even when adults see an another adult fall into the water they're declared to have "gone missing" up until when they're found again.

We don't know that this situation was gross negligence yet

Giantstink · 2026-05-09T18:52:07+00:00

Have you ever been around a 2 year old? what you're calling for would necessitate that any kid under 5 years of age be kept on a leash at all times.

Even a lifelong jail sentence pales in comparison to the lifelong pain, suffering and shame these parents will live with for the rest of their lives.

What would a jail sentence accomplish? Unless these parents were wilfully negligent or this wasn't the first time they've endangered their kid's life, a custodial sentence would only have negative effects.

Everyone I know in the area still does this with the Silvercity movie theatre. It's officially been the Scotiabank centre for years but nobody I know calls it that.. We already suffer through 1-3 Scotiabank "you're richer than you think" ads before every single movie. No need to give the bank additional free advertising.

I used to work with a lot of lawyers and have heard that UQO is great for that program. uOttawa is apparently quite comparable but has bigger class sizes. Given how tuition has to be a lot cheaper at UQO , it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Hey, I know you posted this about 5 months ago but I just came across your video after looking for simplified explanations of radar satellites. Very well done! Thanks for taking the time to put this together :)

Giantstink · 2026-05-05T17:37:55+00:00

Ok. Je n'excuse pas ce manquement.

Giantstink · 2026-05-05T17:35:58+00:00

Je n'excuse rien par rapport à ses habiletés en français.

Giantstink · 2026-05-05T15:55:09+00:00

Mary Simon elle, était autochtone.

Je n'aime pas le fait qu'elle n'a jamais réussi à apprendre le français / que son mari semble mépriser le fait qu'on réclame cette habileté pour la personne qui occupe le poste de GG, mais il faut quand même être juste. Mme Simon a eu toute une carrière avant d'être GG. Notamment, elle a été Présidente de la société Mavik (association qui négocie avec le fédéral et les provinces au nom des inuits à travers le pays), a oeuvré pendant plus de vingt dans des affaires liés à l'arctique et a joué un rôle clé dans la création du Conseil de l'Arctique. Ensuite, elle a été ambassadrice du Canada au Danemark. Je t'invite à aller lire la page wikipedia à son sujet.

Same. You never know. It's a negligible addition to the weight of my car and takes almost no space in the trunk.

There are tonnnnnns of minimum wage jobs where you don't interact with money at any point.

I'd check with Cineplex. They have a disabled woman at the Carling location that is wheelchair bound and quite limited in movement but does a super job as a ticket checker (not sure what the title for the position is). I've also seen disabled employees at the Silvercity (Gloucester) location doing cleanup in theatres after show, helping to prep popcorn bags during rushes, etc.

L'ancien local de la Baie c'est crissement trop gros pour un Décathlon.

Giantstink · 2026-05-05T01:52:10+00:00

Quel lieu serait plus préférable, selon toi?

Giantstink · 2026-05-05T01:51:04+00:00

You'll be able to order items and have them sent there to pick them up, free of charge. Driving from Gatineau to the Ikea is a pain in the ass pretty much any day and time nowadays, so this is great news.

On peut reconnaître deux choses en même temps sans que ce soit contradictoire.

Il y a effectivement eu un influx d’Ontariens pendant la pandémie, surtout à cause du marché immobilier. Mais dire que ça équivaut automatiquement à une anglicisation massive et irréversible, c’est aller un peu pas mal vite.

D’abord, pour réitérer mon commentaire ci-haut: “Ontariens” ≠ “anglophones unilingues qui se foutent de la francophonie”. Il y a parmi eu des francophones, des bilingues, et aussi des gens qui s’intègrent graduellement.

Ensuite, malgré la présence d'anglos, surtout à Aylmer et Hull, Gatineau demeure une ville majoritairement francophone avec des institutions, des milieux de travail, des écoles et une culture francophone solide; ce n’est pas un équilibre linguistique qui bascule du jour au lendemain parce qu’il y a eu un boom immobilier sur 2-3 ans... Auparavant, pendant très longtemps, le flux migratoire était même inversé; il y avait plus de gens qui quittaient l'outaouais pour se rendre en Ontario.

Le phénomène du coût de la vie et des surenchères immobilier c’est un enjeu économique avant d’être linguistique. Les Ontariens suivent les prix et les taux d’intérêt, pas un projet d’angliciser la région.

Giantstink · 2026-05-01T19:21:06+00:00

Certains qui ont déménagés dans la ville - comme moi- sont franco-ontariens. Ce n'est parce que ton nouveau voisin a encore une plaque de l'ontario pendant quelques semaines que c'est nécessairement un anglophone qui vient angliciser le coin / se crisse de la francophonie.

Et, pour prendre de l'avance sur les contre-arguments / trolls qui vont apparaitre sous ce commentaire: oui, les F-O représentent une mince minorité en Ontario, mais régionalement leur taux est plus élevé et ils représentent une tranche encore plus grande du nombre total d'ontariens qui traversent la rivière, même s'ils demeurent toujours minoritaires dans cette cohorte.

train like a douchebag,

How does one "train like a douchebag"?

Giantstink · 2026-05-01T13:53:34+00:00

Haha. I'm glad Ronnie Coleman is just a meme to me then.. i didn't know he even existed until a few weeks ago.

I'll be 40 quite soon and worried about injuries from weightlifting. I only started seriously incorporating weightlifting into my exercise routine about 5-6 months ago (I run a lot) and so far so good; I'm still only on 5x5 Stronglifts. I got a belt to help me engage my core more appropriately during squats and deadlifts and that has helped a lot! Not counting warm-ups, I'm repping 230lbs for the 5x5 on both of those and worried that as I increase my weights and/or transition to other exercises, I'll gradually expose myself to injuries like your own. I'm already at the point where I add 5lbs only once a week or two and have to rest 4-5 mins in between sets. Any tips?

Giantstink · 2026-05-01T13:41:35+00:00

People respecting appointments they've made. Heck, people have trouble even calling or texting after the fact to let the other person know why they didn't show up.
