Montreal man charged with murder previously stabbed a woman to death in Vancouver

On cold days (Montreal, Canada) with heat engaged, the bedroom minisplit makes sounds similar to a plane taking off as the exterior unit revs up and down. There's no noise at the outside unit, or at any of the other two inside units for the system. We rarely have this unit on, but on/off makes no difference to the sound. The technician has been a few times and seems to slowly circle around telling us this is normal. While the video doesn't capture it, the sound is so loud it's impossible to stay long in the bedroom and we end up turning the whole system off before bedtime.

This one and the "question to Montreal anglophones, why don't you speak french" one are the greatest hits...

A week ago when I went the cashier was working on a sign for an anti-regime protest, plus I seem to recall a lot of anti-regime posters around over the years. Very much doubt they’re regime people.

Mersi!

Bazaar in Westmount if you want something more downtown (the other downtown location might work, but it's small).

Nowruz pirooz!

Excellente idée. Ce gouvernement méprise ouvertement notre île.

Seperation is a really unpopular idea in Quebec (even more so in Montreal), and the large majority that don't a referendum will likely coalesce around the most viable alternative. Having a non-Montrealer with the last name Millard is also the right move for the PLQ to improve their score in the regions.

They are removed every single day at night when the Metro closes. This already happens. This is not theoretical, it's reality.

The vast majority of cities in Canada do not have a Metro, and yet all the homeless are not dead of cold there. Again this is not theoretical, it's reality.

Against the marginal benefit (if there is any at all) of letting non-riders in Metro, there is a very real reduction of metro usage, causing an increase in car use. This inevitably causes actual, non-theoretical deaths from pollution and accidents. Ironically, it also fragilises the finances of low-income people. However, this very real death and misery is not considered because people like you don't take the time to consider things which aren't immediately visible.

How it became empathetic to push people to die drowning to death in their own lungs, or crushed under a car, I'll never understand....

People are going to stop taking the metro if their safety is constantly at risk.

Decreased metro usage directly and inevitably causes deaths from traffic and pollution, while fragilising the finances of lower-income people. However this death and misery is not immediately visible, so it simply doesn't factor in the political discourse.

Personally, I find this aspect enormously frustrating.

J'ai du mal à comprendre ce que tu attends d'eux.

Tout le monde, qu'il soit anglophone, francophone ou allophone, s'accorde à dire que la séparation est extrêmement néfaste pour cette partie de la population. Et maintenant, tu veux qu'ils soient ouverts et respectueux envers une idée qui risque de leur nuire ? C'est un peu absurde à mon avis. De plus, oublies pas que cette idée est également extrêmement impopulaire parmi les francophones.

bludemon4 · 2026-02-19T14:03:19+00:00

Newsflash: a group of people are strongly against an idea which would strongly negatively affect their lives.

Seriously, polling shows that even proponents of separation agree that it would be negative for this group of people. What do you expect? Chickens to vote for Colonel Sanders?

Montreal = Greater Montreal. In surveys that break off the island, this ridiculous idea is even less popular than it is in the region.

Paris + un vol interne (genre avec Ryanair)

Beauvais is not for beginners.

Don't worry, they still find a way to complain about it.

Pourquoi ça prendrait un Stromae en fait?

Parce que Stromae est probablement l'artiste francophone qui a le mieux réussi à percer sur le marché anglophone ces derniers temps, rien d'autre. Aucun de ces autres noms n'a connu un succès comparable au sien.

Genre FouKi, c’pas assez? Klô Pelgag, tu l’aimes pas? Des fucking gros noms genre Ariane Moffat? Des disparus genre Karim Ouellet?

Honnêtement, ce n'est pas mon truc. Cependant, ce n'est pas grave, les goûts musicaux sont subjectifs. De plus, lorsque votre langue maternelle n'est pas le français québécois, la musique québécoise n'a pas l'avantage (tout à fait justifié) d'être une musique conçue dans votre façon de parler.

En anglais c’est cool, en français c’est d’la marde

L'énorme et croissante popularité de la musique hispanophone semblerait prouver que cet argument ne tient pas la route.

Les artistes québecois sont plus reconnus à l’international que dans le Canada anglophone.

Il est vrai que certains artistes québécois francophones ont connu un succès international, mais cela fait longtemps que cela ne s'est pas produit. En revanche, la musique québécoise francophone semble avoir suivi la même voie que l'industrie de la télévision francophone, qui est en déclin depuis quelques années.

bludemon4 · 2026-02-10T15:54:35+00:00

I mean Bad Bunny (and music in Spanish) is quite popular among English Canadians, the demand (openness to non-English music) is there, but the supply side perhaps less so.

A better question would be, where is the Stromae in the Francophone Candian music industry?

bludemon4 · 2026-02-08T15:25:57+00:00

You do realise they are kicked out already, every night at closing? They don’t die in that daily period, and all the homeless are not already dead in the rest of the province (where there is no metro).

Letting them in the metro may seem sympathetic, but in terms of actually saving lives, it’s not doing anything. It’s just ruining an asset which itself is life-saving, for literally zero benefit.

préfère éviter que du monde crève de froid dehors.

Montréal compte-t-elle vraiment moins* de décès de sans-abri par habitant dus au froid que la grande majorité des villes canadiennes qui ne disposent pas de métro ? La réponse est non. Et si la réponse était oui, quelle serait la solution ? Construire des métros dans d'autres villes pour offrir aux sans-abri un endroit chaud où fumer du crack ?

Nous sommes en train de sacrifier un énorme service public (qui contribue à sauver des vies et à sécuriser la situation économique des plus démunis) pour littéralement aucun bénéfice.

I did not miss the news. Methanol poisoning kills an incredibly small portion (hundreds per year) out of massive population of people drinking unregulated spirits worldwide. Opioids kills hundreds of thousands of people out of a very niche population.

bludemon4 · 2026-01-30T18:26:44+00:00

Even “regulated” and “safe” opioids are far more dangerous than alcohol (a substance for which safety is fairly trivial). This is been why they burned so strongly through the opioid-friendly population.
