Did someone say polar vortex? Today along the P'tit Train du Nord.

Yesterday on Mount Royal.

Getting a cozy movie theatre all to myself on a snowy Saturday morning ❄️💕 Going to watch Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague at the Cinéma du musée #Montreal

My hot take: Steven Guilbeault should run for the leadership of the NDP. Not often a winning party, but one with a long history of principle and leaders who walk the talk.

Speaking of the F-35 deal... Check out this moment from The Diplomat | S3:E3. www.netflix.com/watch/817721... #Canada

Feeling cozy on this first snowy morning of winter. #remembranceday #Montreal

This is a rant into the void: I CAN'T STAND IT when websites and apps push a bunch of pop-ups, and did you know about our new thing, when all I wanted to do was the thing I logged on to do! Leave me alone and don't make me click 3 irrelevant things before I can do what I came here to do. Thanks.

Can we petition Pierrefonds-Roxboro to demerge? I really don't see how people who live 45 minutes from downtown have a say in how the city is run. It wouldn't change the outcome today -we're cooked- but still.

I love this squirrel. I see it all over my neighbourhood, but this one takes the cake, with its Montreal logo necklace and... Are those have signs lol 🐿️✌️

It's coming! #Halloween

Check out this Halloween skeleton at the Atwater market, enjoying the colourful flowers. It looked so happy!

This is from a hike earlier this fall, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Mont Ham. You can't tell from my video but the colours were beautiful along the route, especially through Orford and Bromont.

The view from the top of Mont Loup Garou (werewolf mountain, in French) in the Laurentians, this weekend. Yes, it's past peak colours. It's a nice 2-2.5 hour hike through woods and there's a cabin at the top if you want to stop for lunch. #hiking #Québec

Squirrel. The cute kind.

It's past peak colours up in the Laurentians. Still beautiful and splendid for a hike and a spa day. This was at Mont Loup Garou (means werewolf in French).

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a bike ride along the Chambly canal.

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride on the P'tit train du nord. Traffic was yucky, though. Why can't we have good public transit to the Laurentians on weekends?

Beautifully moving account of Dr. Balfour Mount's life and legacy. I worked at his McGill Palliative Care Conference and even that was truly inspiring. Legend. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Oh yeah! I did this on Sunday. My plan was to take the kids to Mont St Hilaire but I was too late and all the tickets were sold (darn environmentalists, protecting the darn environment from too many visitors, argh) so I pivoted: a walk up to the Outremont summit of Mount Royal, through the cemetery

Could we maybe learn something from the countries that are doing better at postal delivery than Canada Post? #postalstrike #canadapost

Always fun to bike under the Champlain bridge. Looks like they're working on something to make the area more of a destination. #Montreal #cycling

I notice we don't really say cyber anymore

✅ check! Another #Quebec peak done this weekend. Hoping to do more soon. Mont Ham, in the Eastern Townships.

Fun stuff happening at Le Rendez-vous, in NDG, Girouard park. There's a bar, an ice cream parlour, food for sale, and sometimes dj dance parties or live bands. Tonight was a lot of fun with some good news bags from @vaniercollege.qc.ca such as Dahlia and Photobomb 👌🎤 #Montreal

What is even happening? I couldn't find harissa at Super C (ok) or PA (whaaa) today. What kind of world are we living in?? I'm gonna have to make my own🌶️

My collaboration with Ivan Ehlers for the @latimes.com

Netflix was pushing Crazy Stupid Love on me, a 2011 movie with Ryan Gosling and Steve Carrell, so I watched it with a friend last night. We had both watched it almost 15 years ago and forgotten most of it. It's fun, but problematic, in the way that a lot of movies can be over time. In particular

@cyclefunmontreal.bsky.social Have you biked from Chambly to St Jean sur Richelieu? I see there's a 20km path along the canal, and I'd like to take my kids. Just wondering what stops we might make along the way, if you know the path. Are there places to get food, snacks?

Suggestions for how to spend a day in Chambly on the weekend? I've heard there's kayaking, would they still be renting boats this time of year? #Quebec

Cannot see the game Réjean without thinking of the best character in Toy Story 4. Iykyk This is my gorgeous library, bibliothèque Réjean Ducharme. #libraries #Montreal

Another beautiful day on 🌎Earth, #blueskyfriends Specifically in my favourite place: Montreal 🍁🥯 Went for a really nice bike ride to Parc Jean Drapeau.

The Alouettes lost but it was fun to watch and I learned more about the rules of football than by listening to anyone's explanation!

When I see all the micro shorts and bike shorts-as-regular-shorts, I think about women in the 80s and how sad it is that they never got a chance to show their buns of steel in public that way.

Evening falls on Lake Magog, near Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Chilling on a little electric boat on the #Lachinecanal in #Montreal for number 2's 10th birthday. He learned to drive a motor boat on Bark Lake this summer and is now obsessed. That's the Canal Lounge in front of us.

I didn't take 📸, but last night on the Metro ride home I enjoyed watching the people returning from île soniq cross paths with the people going to Pride* and then be joined by the people exciting Takuthon. *notable mention to the men in short silver shorts, one of them with a mirror ball helmet on

I thought it was a weird thing for my kid to take a photo of. But maybe not. #Canada

Day 3 of #Osheaga 2025, wrapped! It was hotter and hazier and more massively packed than days 1&2. Highlight: the view and sounds from the top of the Skip Ferris wheel during the beginning of Olivia Rodrigo's set. Although it may look a little sparse near the Monster tour, you have to understand

The Fart Heart ❤️ of Saint Henri #Montreal 💨

Overheard at Gracie Abrams's show at #Osheaga in #Montreal: "I wrote this song about a narcissist." "Been there, done that."

Day 1 of Osheaga 2025 ✅🎆 The kids patiently waited for The Killers to play the last song I wanted to dance to: All the things that I have done. They loved their first Osheaga day, so we've got momentum for Day 2. So far we're loving the Skip+ bathrooms (brilliant move) and rest area.

Looks like we made it! #Osheaga day 1 of 3. #Montreal je t'💕

#sunset over Bark Lake, lac aux Écorces, in the Laurentians, North of Montreal. Just another beautiful day on Earth 🌎 over here

One more reason to 💕 where I live. I went out for an evening walk along the Lachine canal and ended up watching the movie Pushover (1954), at @filmnoiraucanal.bsky.social Bonus: as the movie ended, the fireworks at the Old Port started.🎆 That's #Montreal for you

Just a little #justforlaughs to keep the #Montreal in #bluesky

Haircut day at Mama's Boy in Westmount, Quebec.

Just letting you know there was an epic outdoor dance party at Girouard park (not its legal name), Montreal, tonight, with mostly 80s new wave but also some early 90s and late 70s tunes. DJed by Brendan Kelly. Just another beautiful day on Earth, #blueskyfriends 🌏 #Canada

How can I make my bluesky feed less US-centric? I follow so many international accounts, yet it's always skewed to US politics, and, honestly, I could use a break. Please and thank you, #blueskyfriends.

Disappearing act, starring a bunny. Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Montreal, on a beautiful summer day. It's better with the sound on.

The beautiful green walls of the terrasse Sainte-Elizabeth in Montreal. A classic that is always rumoured to be "about to close" but here it is, still standing, on a beautiful summer night on planet Earth 🌎 #Canada
