My neighbour says that she can put her compost in conventional plastic bags because the bags all get opened up and thrown away at the composter anyway. She says she learned this on Semaine Verte. Does anyone know if this is true? #montreal

Liberals get their best popular vote result since 1980, and it’s somehow not enough for a majority.

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

The tariffs are designed to divide

Very happy that the city will end car traffic on Camilien-Houde. Sceptical about reducing parking around Beaver Lake. I fear that a lot of families will stop coming if there isn’t adequate parking. @alexnorrismontreal.bsky.social #poltmtl #projetmontreal

What if all federal parties promised that if they win the election, they’ll form a government of national unity, and invite members of the other parties to join their cabinet, with a mandate to set aside partisanry and focus on the trade war? #cdnpoli

“What’s that movie that seems really dumb but it’s actually really smart?” “Idiocracy?“ “No, no. The Quebec one.” “Elvis Gratton?” “That’s it”

“In total, about 60 per cent of Quebec’s prison population is in jail awaiting trial”

#Canada and its government being pretty laid back this time around at the imminent possibility of #trumptariffs #cdnpoli

Navrée de faire le lien vers FB, j’en avais trop long à dire. #polmtl #mtl2025 #vélo

TIL that #Montreal dumps 40% of its snow in the Francon quarry, forming a glacier that doesn’t fully melt in summer, and contains snow from as far back as 2008. A UQAM researcher wants to use this glacier to provide AC to the surrounding neighbourhoods.

“Suffering is not a personal failure, it’s a designed outcome of exploitation”

Had the pleasure yesterday to hear from all 5 #projetmontreal candidates. Here are my positive impressions of each one: #polmtl

If this poll accurately represents how Quebecers are boycotting the US, then the value of that boycott is in the billions per year. #polqc #polmtl #cdnpoli

How momentum works

Concept congestion pricing zone for Montreal. Would love to hear more about this idea from #projetmontreal candidates. #polmtl

Ne nous laissons pas faire face à Donald Trump. Délaissons les marques américaines. Achetons les produits du Québec sur les tablettes!💙🛒 #PolQc

This is so good.

Canada's """Fentanyl Czar""" should just be Rick Mercer going on CBC and talking a mile a minute at the camera about the drug war. Send US news the tape and do not clarify anything.

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

It appears that we got Trump to fold in exchange for some symbolic measures, various minor assurances, and $200 million in security funding.

Trump’s backed down, for now, but I’m still going to reorient my dollars away from the US, and I hope our governments seize the opportunity of this wake up call to do the same.

Meanwhile, in an underground bunker somewhere in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Québec, the shadowy leaders of the maple syrup cartel discuss whether to open the valves of the strategic syrup reserves in order to drive down prices and counteract the tariffs.

Like Eisenhower, Trudeau gives his best speech on the way out.

LOL #BuyCanadian

THIS was the era of left wing action movies

Trump is signaling pretty clearly that the tariffs aren’t about fentanyl, immigrants, or other specific issues, they’re about reordering the system of international trade, and that these tariffs will remain indefinitely, regardless of what Canada does.

Could the CAQ kindly not start a new culture war in the middle of a trade war?

Seems like a good time to rewatch Canadian Bacon

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Ma modeste contribution. Aidez-moi à répertorier les personnes élues et les partis politiques au Québec! #polqc #polmtl #polcan #polmun go.bsky.app/SnSVJho

Good

Hey @lrabouin.bsky.social I understand that you’re looking for bold platform ideas for #projetmontreal that don’t depend on funding from other levels of government. How about congestion pricing? #polmtl #lucàlamairie
