What to do today in Montreal 🖤

“The City of Montreal should immediately convert the Shriners and Miséricorde hospitals and convert them into homeless shelters and treatment facilities. Longer-term, the city should expropriate any abandoned residential building or empty lot for the purpose of building new social housing.” #polmtl

Montreal has spoken. 🇬🇧🐟🍟

“While the Trump Administration ignores court rulings and instructs journalists to behave or be excluded from White House press conferences, they're demolishing whatever vision of representative democracy the United States once prided itself in upholding.” Democracy, you in danger, girl

“Every year it feels like the City of Montreal is blindsided by the problem of homelessness — particularly in winter — and it’s completely unacceptable. “The city should develop a plan to create as many temporary shelters as needed to get 100% of the homeless population off the streets.” #polmtl

"In less than a year, Donald Trump’s presidency has destroyed what took decades to build, backsliding into a kakistocracy — a government run by the least competent, most unscrupulous citizens." Democracy, you in danger, girl An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

“The National Post and Toronto Sun endorsed Pierre Poilievre in the 2025 federal election, and at least 11 of Canada’s legacy news outlets endorsed the Conservatives in the six previous elections. There’s an obvious media bias towards the CPC, despite Poilievre’s claim that the opposite is true.”
