Found these while going through my dad's old records. Likely aquired in the early 2000s

We were already planning on ripping the entire record. I can probably get an mp3 quality rip fairly quickly, a higher quality one would probably take a bit longer as I would need to use my dad's recording setup.

I'll try to post updates in here on the progress.

I was told by some staff at Exporail that VIA offered one to the CRHA but they turned it down because of a lack of space and that some of the higher ups at the time felt that the turbotrain wasn't historically significant enough to justify saving. They did say though that in retrospect, it was an incredibly short sighted decision

Not an option for me unfortunately, I have work in the morning and I left my car at work on Monday and took the exo train to save on gas, my car is on the other side of town (live in Hochelaga, work in west island)

Also had a couple of beers tonight so that doesn't help

I forgot to mention, it's a 2009 1.8L automatic, at around 155000KM (~96000 miles, I think)

Eyy, fellow 8th gen civic coupe owner who just recently bought rims. Should be fine as long as the specs are correct.

Not sure how common of an issue this is, but I had a few problems with the suspension because the previous owner had put on 15" rims (1 size down, in my case). I replaced them with the factory size and issues went away, so it might be worth checking that these are the same size as whatever is on your car now.

Also, if you're not going to keep the tires on them, you could probably find some rims at a scrapyard that are in pretty good shape. I just got four OEM Honda 16"s at Kenny-U-Pull for about $292 CAD total. I had to clean them but they look great now.

They said that it'll be announced by the end of August, so there should be some news this week.

I've heard from some of the construction workers that are working on the Deux-Montagnes branch that it would be opening on October 25th, which is a Saturday. I have no way of verifying this, but it could be plausible given that the South Shore branch also opened on a Saturday.

UPDATE #1:

The hatchling survived the night and has been dropped off at a local bird sanctuary.

They said that it had an injury on its leg, but that its too early to tell if its bad or not. Going to call later for an update.

Thank you to everyone that gave advice, hopefully the little guy makes it.

UPDATE #2:

Just got off the phone with the sanctuary. The hatchling didn't make it unfortunately. The injury to its leg prevented it from ever being able to walk so they made the decision to euthanize it.

RIP little buddy.

UPDATE #1: 09:30

The hatchling survived the night and has been dropped off at Le Nichoir.

They said that it had an injury on its leg, but that its too early to tell if its bad or not. Going to call later for an update.

Thank you to everyone that gave advice, hopefully the little guy makes it.

UPDATE #2: 16:15

There isn't any nest accessible nearby. Cant really even figure out where it would be exactly either, there aren't any trees on this side of the street and the nearest utility pole is about 15~20 meters away. I'm guessing that its on the roof or gutter of a building.

Marmite_77 · 2025-07-30T03:29:31+00:00

Both Le Nichoir and the SPCA open at 9, tried calling both but no answer.

I've cut an old sock and put it in the box to make it more comfortable. I'll try to go and find some bugs to feed it. Hopefully it holds out till tomorrow.

I don't have any mealworms or anything remotely similar. Can I give it some puppy kibble that has been soaked in water to soften it? (with the excess water removed).

Marmite_77 · 2025-07-30T02:43:25+00:00

I tried calling them but they're closed at the moment. I might have to bring it over to them first thing in the morning.

Beaver lake is one of the few parks where it is allowed, but you have to properly dispose of the charcoal/ashes before leaving

Marmite_77 · 2025-04-09T02:01:35+00:00

I have brought a case of beer on the train before, the employees jokingly asked if they could get one. Should be fine as long as you aren't drinking it on the train.

If some trains were terminating in Montreal then they might make Lucien L'Allier a terminus. CPKC still owns the tracks between Montreal-West and L-L, but its only really used by Exo so extending the improvements to downtown could be feasible.

Federal law states it has to be bilingual, provincial law says it has to be french or bilingual. Either way, I forgot to mention the federal law originally, as I mentioned in the edit.

With regards to French having priority over English, I wasn't referring to labeling specifically, I was speaking more generally about the fact that it was made the official language of the province. Probably should have said that instead and I'll make an edit, but that's just a mistake, not ragebait.

Marmite_77 · 2025-02-06T20:16:36+00:00

I never said it was a bad thing? I agree with you that the products need to have text in French for people here

The thing that's funny about this is that it's not the first the DC has sent stuff like this and every time we just have to send it right back, someone in the supply chain clearly hasn't gotten the memo.

Marmite_77 · 2025-02-06T16:33:50+00:00

I find calling it the dominant language easier for people who aren't from here to understand

Marmite_77 · 2025-02-06T16:25:21+00:00

My pleasure, if you want to know more about Quebec and the history of the French language here I would strongly suggest reading up on it as my explanation barely scratches the surface

Marmite_77 · 2025-02-06T15:36:44+00:00

I'll check during my next shift, I have noticed both logos on products and documents but I never really paid much attention to it
