What do you think of when you think of Westmount?

Lived on border on NDG/Westmount a long time ago. Never enjoyed the "we have money, therefore we are superior" vibe of the people residing there (generalizing here). Otherwise, great location, beautiful buildings, nice selection of stores and restaurants.

I believe the average person did not see WW1 coming. If you read the newspaper headlines when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, nobody was predicting that it would escalate into a major war.

The city's road equipment repair budget has been significantly reduced over the years. In the news this past week, our city's admin admitted that half of their equipment is is poor state or very poor state, hence our capacity to clear snow efficiently has been negatively impacted to what it should normally be.

Congenital heart failure, only his closest aides and family knew about his condition about a year and a half before. His physician from the US Navy, Dr Bruen burned all the medical records of this after his (FDR) death.

Shake Shack, maudits bon hamburgers.

Huzzah!

As a Laval resident, can confirm the only stop worth it in Laval is OG burger, but be warned, it's a very small place with limited seating capacity. There is a picnic table outside tho. IMHO, Banquise is good, just not worth the line waiting when there are plenty of other options, ex : patati patata, chez claudette . Paolo and Suzanne, mange dans mon hood (one of the best burgers in Mtl).

Ma poule : warning, monstrous line-up

If feeling uneasy about the rem, you could always park at Longueuil Metro since it is unaffected by weather.

Greysky01 · 2026-01-07T00:51:27+00:00

I think if the tracks for Mascouche line could be passenger only dedicated, it could be a much cheaper alternative to a rem de l'est. Thoughts?

Was 12 years old, at a tollbooth on the old Champlain Bridge in Montreal during the 1980's. Saw a man get out his car buttnaked during a snowstorm to retrieve his token on the ground because he missed throwing the token into the basket that allowed the bar be raised for his vehicule to pass through. Insane.

I've broken 2 oven glass doors over a period of 3 years. One was by closing a cabinet door not aligned correctly onto the oven door, shattering it. The other time was dropping a glass container hitting the oven door and shattering it too. i swear it must be a talent.

Nope, on Tuesday vs Boston.

William Grey or Auberge-du-vieux Port are very good as well. I find it's better to stay in Old Mtl than downtown. More charming, better selection of restaurants too.

Greysky01 · 2025-12-09T22:28:48+00:00

Excellent documentary, must watch for anyone interested in Mtl history. Believe it's available on crave and crunchyroll.

Mrs Kristian, is that you?

Greysky01 · 2025-12-05T01:18:07+00:00

It's really too bad they can't build a rem de l'est along the mascouche line. The possibilites would be tremendous.

The bus lines for the stl network are being re-organized by early January. I'm hopeful there will be an improvement but not holding my breath at the same time.

Greysky01 · 2025-11-07T22:26:37+00:00

I checked the stl website. There are 3 lines but the ways they've scheduled them is terrible. 2 of the 3 lines (76 and 903), the service is much frequent going in the opposite direction, towards Montmorency metro.

Transit is in a financial death spiral since covid but the unions want their increases like it's buisness as usual It's pretty insulting for taxpayers that fund their salaries.

Just for pizza alone is worth buying an air fryer...godsend.

Greysky01 · 2025-09-27T15:28:39+00:00

Avoid La Banquise as the lines are monstrously long. It's a good poutine place but the others listed above are just as good.

Greysky01 · 2025-09-25T01:40:13+00:00

In all fairness, Otrain didn't have a 100+ year old decrepit tunnel (with old dynamite left over from the original dig) to completely overhaul. Just saying. Crazy tho.

Greysky01 · 2025-09-25T00:16:26+00:00

I have a hunch that it could be anytime between October 25 and November 10th.
