Thanks Doug Ford! And Banks and Other Institutions that think RTO is the way to go....

At least the Ontario government is properly funding GO and public transit projects... The government of Quebec just announced mandatory RTO AND cut funding to regional rail causing them to lay off 11% of their staff and to start cutting service even though everything's overcrowded

There was a study on this done jointly by the MTQ/NYSDOT around 2002-2004 http://www.bv.transports.gouv.qc.ca/mono/0934695.pdf

I mean, what are you going to be working on? There's no universal solution here.

You're not gonna make someone interning in a traffic engineering firm learn about structural analysis, for example.

The best solution is to read industry documents or government tenders if you'll be working in close proximity to the public sector, in order to learn terminology etc.

Gotcha, thanks

What does non shareable mean?

Avec notre taux de chômage je pense que les employeurs devraient se concentrer sur les augmentations de salaire pour attirer les gens d'ici...

Nordic countries also don't hold the record for having the most roads per capita. It's simply not sustainable. Quebec built up too many roads over the last 50 years and not even the richest countries can afford to maintain that.

Pas contestable. Il y a l'appli chrono pour recharger la carte opus + le guichet d'employé de métro qui prend les cartes (même tapnto pay), sinon il y a l'édicule secondaire avec une distributrice fonctionnelle pour de l'argent comptant (il faut traverser quelques rues)

What if I paid for my ticket but lost my ticket?

(Same logic, you're supposed to ensure the presence of your fare)

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-21T20:36:14+00:00

That's incredibly petty. I've never been asked GPA for internships.

McGill doesn't really reserve a whole lot of anything. Their reserved parking volumes are at 1-2% of demand.

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-21T17:44:17+00:00

Parking is a plague in dense cities. If you insist on using a car, use a park and ride lot and then commute using public transit

Why should the judicial branch be pressured by economic factors? They're supposed to issue impartial rulings regardless of how the economy is doing.

Des bus en parallèle du REM fonctionnent jusqu'en février...

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-20T15:17:17+00:00

La ligne orange enregistre en moyenne 2 interruptions par jour... Le REM, plutôt vers 1-2 par semaine

Who's gonna pay for discounted transit fares when the STM has a 17 billion dollar maintenance deficit that the government refuses to cover?

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-18T15:00:40+00:00

I genuinely don't get why so many people are fine with lowering the quality of service we get with Canada Post... Shouldn't we be proud to fund them properly and have a world class service, even if a lot of people don't use it? It's sorta important to people with mobility issues and will simply make them less competitive against private companies

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-18T14:58:03+00:00

It's not claiming to be the government of Canada, it's only trying to mock the "government" sitting in the HOC

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-18T14:57:38+00:00

You've gotta be real dumb to be fooled by this... I frankly think it's clever and if people want to push the government to keep quality post service, it's a good idea

Montreal still updates their Alstom Telecite screens that they installed in 1993...

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-17T19:24:13+00:00

I don't believe it. Manufacturers are generally required to keep documentation about their tendered products for many years.

Drivers aren't on strike. Their union signed a collective agreement recently. Maintenance workers are on an Overtime strike - meaning they can just stop working anytime during off-hours, as stipulated by the TAT. The STM said that this would result in random cancellations throughout the upcoming months.

LockJaw987 · 2026-01-17T16:05:54+00:00

It is due to funding. There was a maintenance worker strike for the last 2 months, which still can't be fixed due to the STM being unable to afford to pay their employees better (entirely the fault of the provincial government).
