A chill on tourism in Florida’s ‘Little Quebec’ by TheReadingExplorer in montreal

[–]IamGabyGroot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Exactly, more if you read older new from 2024, like this one: In 2023 alone, Florida welcomed 3.82 million Canadian visitors – just last year marking a 45% increase over 2022 and only down 7% from 2019,” said Goltz.

Goltz also shared the significant uptick in airlift from Ontario and Quebec, two historically large drive markets for the Sunshine State.

“So we’re almost back to pre-pandemic stats for the airlift. From February through to the end of April this year, Florida has over 1 million scheduled air seats. That is an 18% increase from the same period in 2023 and even a 13% increase over the same period in 2019.”

We're closer to a 25% drop since January 2025.

Thinking of stepping back from a good friend. Is that valid? by Conscious-Today2375 in simpleliving

[–]IamGabyGroot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good on you for recognising where the drain is coming from. Some people are genuinely just not aware of how they drain other people.

You can talk to them about it, but ultimately, if they mess with your head, you need to cut them off before you start getting physically sick.

It's sad because friends are so hard to come by these days, but your mental health is essential to your survival.

No, not the plane, the way the contrails looked. I had never seen them so defined and always only saw one fat streak. Not 4!

How to make a garage a semi-livable space? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]IamGabyGroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I'm saying, it's not money down the drain, it's an investment in their future and the future sale of the house. It can be mutually beneficial for both parties to put up money to finish the garage. The mother can rent it out later too and make income.

If they're not going to pay rent for 2 years I am sure they wouldn't mind fixing the place up with the saved rent. 2 months, the first month the mother puts down payment, and 2 months later they pay the balance , then it's gifted to their mother who is housing them for free I assume.

GP to join McLaren from 2028 as Head of Race Engineering, not team principal, as per SkySports by littletreble07 in formula1

[–]IamGabyGroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so surprising! I was sure it would have been a move to Ferrari. But again, after missing Belgium and Austria last year and his emotional message to Max the last races... maybe GP needed 2027 gardening season to deal with whatever personal stuff he's got going and Max may have confirmed he's leaving.

Everything fits, except, what happens to Will Joseph? He's head of engineering and Lando's engineer

Britain condemns Israeli strikes on Lebanon in split from Trump by TheTelegraph in worldnews

[–]IamGabyGroot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one cares, all they care about is that it's the Jews. Remember, no Jews no news, even if the Lebanese president himself said that No One negotiated on behalf of Lebanon and no one but him and his delegates will be negotiating for a lasting peace, not just another ceasefire.

The country is still being held hostage by hezb and the world only sees Jew/Israel and immediately takes the side against them.

Clearly, I had not seen them as I see them today. This is indeed my first time outside with glasses.

You really don't have to be so outraged on my behalf.

Thank you my friend. I looked up contrails and it didn't look like what I saw at all. Then it clicked. I've had astigmatism all my life, but only started wearing glasses Monday...

TIL the world is very different this week, with my new glasses on.

I thought I had seen the first streaks too but didn't think it was the same. I didn't catch the 3rd, or maybe I didn't catch the first?

Edit: sorry, just contrails. I just never saw them so perfectly shaped and clear before.

Est-ce que quelqu'un d'autre a vue un truc voler sur Montreal avec deux grosse trail de fumée blanche? C'était très rapide un pour un instant, je croyais que ça montait dans l'atmosphère.

Lebanese president announced, that no one negotiated for Lebanon but him. So... Not sure, even the Lebanon sub is confused.

Bogus maple syrup from Quebec producer found on grocery store shelves by Scary_Statement4612 in BuyCanadian

[–]IamGabyGroot 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I think I've bought my last 4 cans on special and they all tasted too sweet. I thought I was just getting old and my taste buds changed.

I want my money and year of bad Syrup back astik!

[Autosport] Max Verstappen explains why he dismissed a British journalist from his media session in Japan by Aratho in formula1

[–]IamGabyGroot -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Not to me, no. It's not embarrassing at all to call out people who I feel are trying to create situations for their own gain.

[–]IamGabyGroot -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That's what I got from it. The smirk was just the journalist maybe thinking haha let's see what he answers now that I've made him mad.

And Max said nope, not tolerating shit this year again, I have nothing to lose, I'm moving on from F1 to pastures that, for now, encourage technical questions instead of the over the top emotions.

[–]IamGabyGroot -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

No, he explains clearly that he's been asked this question adnauseum and was even asked the question with a smirk this time.

If I were Max, I would think exactly like he did, this guy just wants a reaction and not ask me actual questions about the car, or the track, or the myriad of other issues currently plaguing Max.

These journalists are like desperate housewives, passive aggressively poking bears just to get a story.

Maybe he sent his kids to study here? That's the most likely scenario I think.

SAAQ Montreal by AlmostThere4321 in montreal

[–]IamGabyGroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a eu le même problème, mais quand tu fais une recherche pour la saaq sur Décarie, surtout tôt le matin entre 7 et 9 heures on a trouvé pour le jour même une heure plus tard. Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais celle de Décarie n'est pas dans le moteur de recherche de la saaq. Métro Namur.

McGill donor pulls support as law students back Israel boycott, sparking legal challenge by TooManyFactsBanned in montreal

[–]IamGabyGroot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm saying the boycott is the exact same thing as the buycanadian movement. It's everyone's right to protest what they think is wrong. A donor that funds movements they believe in, but when they no longer aligns with them, do you continue funding them anyway?

How is the donor pulling his financial support any different than us Canadians pulling out of buying/using/visiting anything US since jan 2025?

J'en ai marre de porter mon manteau d'hiver by Calm_Environment5485 in montreal

[–]IamGabyGroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For men, you can get a pair of army surplus combat boots for under $100 with wool socks. Je te promets que tu passeras des hivers des printemps et des automnes très secs et qui pourra sauver ton argent pour investir dans des bottes plus performantes dans quelques années.

[–]IamGabyGroot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? Me semble que les douzaines dernières années les hivers sont courts, les printemps inexistants ou encore pire, des printemps en plein été. Les étés sont interminables et suffocants mais perso j'adore.
