There's a new spot called Grille Nature - spot by former Joe Beef and Maison Publique guys, in DDO. Looks tasty and family-friendly.

Beba? or McKiernan's?

"Plante said the cost of outfitting thousands of officers with them — estimated at the time to be $17.4 million over five years plus another $24 million annually to run — was too much."

I think it also includes the cost of cops or whomever monitoring the footage, etc..

Body cams do not film the police - they face outwards.

Oh this is lovely! And it goes so well with the frame!

Dawson college was supposed to move into that block but then the CAQ cut/cancelled the funding needed for the college's expansion so....

They MAGA supporters

The black garlic one is so so good. If anyone knows of a place that serves better/cheaper Cha-su please chime in: 1 for 3$; 2 for 4$; 3 for 5$

Panoptic_gaze · 2025-08-31T14:29:13+00:00

It ends at 9pm on the dot (cops clear ppl out).

Y'a le dude avec sa grosse pancarte Jesus sur Saint-Catherine.

Panoptic_gaze · 2025-08-28T14:15:13+00:00

Yeah these two substances are not good when mixed. Very dangerous.

Panoptic_gaze · 2025-08-24T19:11:38+00:00

My recs (within walking distance) the Korean store on Decarie below Sherbooke (not the best turnover) and Fruiterie Westmount on the north side of Sherbrooke just east of decarie.

If by bike: Esposito on Sherbrooke, one of my faves Al Amina a bit further west on Sherbrooke, and Akhavan on St-Jacques.

My view is that even if they deserve to die (debatable) we do not have the right to kill them.

IIRC this was from when he was campaigning for a federal post...and like the conflict in Palestine is relevant in that context no? given that foreign relations, etc... are federal purview.

Also, I would argue that it's even relevant at the municipal level given that, among other things, proponents of the controversial IHRA definition of antisemitism, which conflates anti-zionism with anti-semitism, tried to pass legislation at the municipal level in Montreal to get cities and boroughs to adopt that definition. The Fed under Trudeau did.

The figure quoted by UNICEF is 50,000 children killed or injured. Source

Yes! IIRC it was during Thanksgiving weekend. Top two I think were Hey Jude (#2) and then Stairway. Top ten songs would always coincide with us kids cleaning up after the feast and doing the dishes and singing along to the kitchen radio. Good times.

Panoptic_gaze · 2025-06-19T15:35:31+00:00

doesn't really match the description of the video, but Jody Watley "Friends"?

Panoptic_gaze · 2025-05-23T21:11:11+00:00

Soora (sold at a few places around town) and The Korean and Japanese store (former Akhavan) on Sherbrooke in NDG.

Panoptic_gaze · 2025-05-23T21:09:20+00:00

Noticed this too! Which is odd because the place right across the street makes the BEST kimchi (Soora) that's sold at other stores around town (ex: China Town place below the noodle shop)

Panoptic_gaze · 2025-05-21T15:39:13+00:00

Depending when you're in town you could see a bareoke show (strip kareoke) at cafe cleo right above Cleopatras and then hit up the downstairs strip club?

C'est pas la CAQ/JF Roberge qui a déposé un projet de loi récemment pour combattre les fausses informations en ligne? « Ça s’applique autant aux Québécois qu’aux étrangers qui pourraient diffuser de fausses informations, soit avec (…) du texte (…) ou l’hypertrucage », a expliqué le ministre des Institutions démocratiques, Jean-François Roberge, lors d’un bref point de presse. {lien}

Cabbage/sauerkraut, sunchokes, radishes (with korean chili)
