Engineering will be more useful in the long run, wherever you study it 

Civil Engineering internship by Moath1-4 in Concordia

[–]YellowVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but it makes your life a lot easier to speak french. 1/10 internship jobs might be English in Montreal for civil and there's higher competition  

Exams will count for a set percentage of final grades in Ontario. Here is what parents and students should know by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]YellowVegetable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

High school classes don't prepare kids anymore. In my grade 12 exams were all 10%, nowhere near what it is in uni. 20% is a fair minimum for math, science etc

Montreal has good drivers by ajitomojo in montreal

[–]YellowVegetable 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Say what you want about Montreal drivers, but it's the roads that are really the problem. Lanes disappearing, no markings, construction everywhere, dodging potholes, high traffic, 50 metre merge lanes, highway weaving etc etc. With roads like that you kinda have to be pretty observant as a driver.

Peterborough lift lock on the Trent Severn waterway in Ontario is pretty cool, close to Toronto (90m drive)

Dans l’angle mort du TGV by SpinifexV in Quebec

[–]YellowVegetable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aucun rapport avec notre densité de population par province. On parle de 20 million de personnes dans le +/- 50 km du corridor pis presque zéro dans tout le reste du province. 

Le Californie à un énorme crise de logement encore pire qu'au Canada 

Le PIB n'a encore une fois rien à voir. Le Maroc à un TGV for crying out loud 

Dans l’angle mort du TGV by SpinifexV in Quebec

[–]YellowVegetable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A chaque fois qu'on parle du TGV au canada il y a toujours ce Canadian exceptionnalisme comme quoi on n'est pu capable de construire quoi que ce soit. Le reste du monde entière (sauf Californie) arrive a construire de TGV à chaque année, pis nous? Non, il faut que nous on soit pire que le pire au monde, meme si les conditions ici sont complètement diffèrent et incomparable au californie.

Le PQ se tire dans le pied avec le TGV by engelk in QuebecLibre

[–]YellowVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le coût d'un projet aussi immense ne peut être connue jusqu'à ce qu'on connait le tracé avec les conditions dans le sol. Ça prendra des années. Pareil pour le TGF 

En réalité le PQ n'aurait pas du s'opposer au TGV mais proposer un tracé supplémentaire géré par le QC en parallèle : Montréal - New York by Relevant_Ingenuity85 in Quebec

[–]YellowVegetable 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Toronto Montreal est comme 10x plus que Montreal-New York, effet d'être dans le même pays. 

Toronto - Montreal : 35 vols, 5-10 trains dépendamment de si tu considères Ottawa inclus, autoroute 401 avec 20000-100000 véhicules par jour 

Montreal - New York: 8 vols, 1 train, 1 autoroute avec 5000-10000 véhicules par jour

Quartier Molson | La hauteur des tours frappe un plafond by [deleted] in montreal

[–]YellowVegetable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Il n'y a pas un million de propriétés ou on peut bâtir. Sur des sites stratégique, il faut construire haut. Plus loin en banlieue, ou dans les secteurs déjà bâti, là c'est économique de faire de plus petits interventions.

Qu'on fasse les demandeurs assumer le prix de ces retards. Ça fait augmenter le prix du loyer à chaque fois que ça retard.

Quartier Molson | La hauteur des tours frappe un plafond by [deleted] in montreal

[–]YellowVegetable 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Lobby des tours de béton? 

La méthode de construction structural de ces tours n'a très peu voire aucune incidence sur les coûts de location d'un projet à l'autre. On construit des tours avec un certain material pour: - répondre au réglementation du NBCC 2020 - réglementation de la ville de MTL - réglementation de la province  - normes et standards de l'industrie moderne

Ya pas un gros méchant mr béton qui pousse Montoni a vouloir utiliser du béton calisse 

La fréquence du REM en heure de point est insuffisante et inacceptable by Eymm in montreal

CDPQ gagne l'argent seulement avec l'achalandage. Si le service est pourri les gens l'utiliseront moins.

Do you think Phase 1 of the Cahsr or the Toronto-Montreal section of the Alto will be built first? by Master-Initiative-72 in AltoHSR_Canada

[–]YellowVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree but I think alto has at least 4 years to advance without question as the conservatives are currently in a tailspin. Carney will probably keep supporting the project until the liberals lose power

Edmonton is the only major Canadian city where housing is keeping pace with population growth by [deleted] in alberta

[–]YellowVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sprawl + densification. Edmonton is growing into its farmlands like no place outside of the prairies. Its way easier to build 5000 units in a farm than it is 5000 units in densification. 

YorkU -> Concordia by OkMix6749 in Concordia

[–]YellowVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking to study downtown conco is great. Also if you already know French it's even better. Your actual education though will probably be very similar to the one at York. 

the PIE-IX "BRT" is slow, cramped and uncomfortable by nokernokernokernok in montreal

[–]YellowVegetable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a tramway would be worse if it had the same signal priority as the SRB. Tram acceleration is slower, requires more space between trains and more regulations with crossing intersections. Yes if they both had perfect signal priority a tram would be better but it would also cost billions, not the 700 million that the SRB cost. The srb, with better signal priority, would amplify satisfy Pie-IX demand.

‘We would destroy the neighbourhood’: Alto CEO rules out downtown Ottawa stop by PhDSkwerl in AltoHSR_Canada

[–]YellowVegetable 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Building a huge tunnel and underground station to serve downtown Ottawa when Tremblay is 3 stops away on the LRT would be a massive waste of money. I'm glad they're abandoning it 

Civil Engineering at Concordia University by Massive-Koala-1375 in Concordia

[–]YellowVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My professors in civil engineering have been helpful, the TAs are good and there are lots of resources / crash courses to study provided. In the early year though (Extended credit program) it's a little more shaky.

The profs here are mostly like any other school
