"What if our politicians took their cues from Quebec’s culinary movers and shakers, who not only welcome this diversity but celebrate it and champion it, understanding how it fundamentally makes this city and all of us who we are? montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

“It’s in Montreal’s food scene that you’ll see an organic, from-the-ground-up, unfiltered and non-curated image of what our metropolis is really about.”

“Heated Rivalry’s success and the way it showcases and celebrates Quebec and Canadian creativity is a reminder that it’s rarely ever politicians or bureaucrats who inspire love for a place’s culture and language. “It’s artists. Always artists.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

Last year, I told New Yorkers: we would open city-owned grocery stores to take on the affordability crisis. Today, we're delivering five stores in each borough — with the first opening next year. Here's to healthy families, thriving communities, and promises kept.

“Heated Rivalry is a love letter to Montreal, filled with local Easter eggs. There's optimism and uninhibited queer joy in this smutty, romantic story that's far more 'chez nous' than any U.S. production could ever be.” Heated Rivalry is so Quebec-coded An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

Montreal police will no longer handle noise complaints against Plateau venues under new bylaw “This is a significant step forward in preventing the closure of cultural venues due to abusive noise complaints — a major issue in Montreal for several years.” #polmtl cultmtl.com/2026/04/mont...

“Quebec education policy has long emphasized the importance of early intervention, inclusion and equal opportunity as pillars of the réussite éducative network. Yet chronic underfunding at the primary-school level has directly undermined these objectives.”

I had to read this twice because I thought I misunderstood the first time around.

“I really need to advocate that this is something that is reproducible and economical and good for the population,” he said.”

Hahaha! How droll. Rebel News has literally hired people who once worked at a white supremacist store but go ahead and make jokes about why people may be shocked that PSPP decided to accord them an interview and legitimize them as real “media.”

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to laughing at people who were totally behind Quebec’s ridiculous secularism bill as long as they thought it affected only others.

Another great read.

“No, Rousseau wasn’t unfairly removed. He had ample time to learn enough French to read a couple of pre-recorded lines from a TelePrompTer. Yes, most francophones would have been happy with that simple show of respect. They weren’t asking for the moon. “ montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

Je serais pas étonné que des élu-es caquistes se joignent à la procession pour souligner notre bel héritage catholique.

Stephen Miller demanded that ICE-holes “force confrontations” with protesters because “anti-ICE could not be viewed as successful.” He repeatedly said that protesters “need to be vanquished by any force necessary.” Later, ICE-holes murdered Alex Pretti. #ProudBlue #StephenMiller #FuckICE #AlexPretti

Great piece. As I watched the series I picked up on most - but not all - of the references to Montreal and Quebec culture mentioned here.

I've yet to watch the series, but after reading this article by @mtltoula.bsky.social I may just need to take a look.

Great piece by @mtltoula.bsky.social 🙂 I think I’m ready for a rewatch!

There's a basic rule to the linguistic divide in Montreal- you have to try. Speak the other language, meet the stranger halfway. Have respect for your neighbours. It's why Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau can never be a Montrealer. He lives here, but will never be one of us. Tant pis pour lui.

Few articles I’ve written recently have generated the amount of comments my latest @cultmtl column about Heated Rivalry’s deep Quebec connections has. They’ve all been so much fun to read! cultmtl.com/2026/03/heat... cultmtl.com/2026/03/heat...
