Prolongement de la ligne bleue… sans les portes de protection

Prolongement de la ligne bleue | Tout pour accueillir des portes « antisuicide »… sauf les portes
Les futures stations de métro de la ligne bleue auront tout pour accueillir des portes palières… à l’exception des portes elles-mêmes. Faute d’argent, la Société de transport de Montréal n’installera pas ce dispositif antisuicide dans l’immédiat, malgré les recommandations des coroners.

Automatic for the People
A Ride on the First Fully-Functioning Line of the REM, Montreal's New Light Metro
#Montreal has a new "light metro" links to the Mount-Royal Tunnel, at 5 kms the third longest tunnel in Canada. Built by the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) between 1911 and 1918, it cuts through Mont-Royal. Trains, which were perforce electric, be…

I couldn't go to #VCF #Montreal last weekend because I was away. Did any of you go? How was it? (Despite it being way down in St-Jean, not in Montreal…)
Haven't heard anything at all. Worth going if they do it again next year?

Looks like some people at HEC #Montreal have put together a dashboard with data (primarily demand/production) from our electricity utility, Hydro #Quebec.
Pretty interesting; especially given the excess demand this past week.

There’s not really any Chicago deep dish style pizza in #Montreal so we’ve got to make it ourselves.

Here's hoping they lose as badly as the PQ the last two times, and that #Montreal actually manages to elect representation that doesn't get washed out by a gross majority, so the province doesn't have to posture hating Montreal so much.
Don't let la porte frappe you on the way out after gutting so many of the services we paid for.
Also FPtP is a bad voting system. I said it…

I mean, I'm glad Montréal is finally installing bollards in this bike lane but
... not like that?

Photo of a road crew installing green plastic bollards in the middle of a single-lane bike lane. Three bollards are attached to the road directly on top of the painted bicycle and arrows that designate the lane.

The number of default-named #Meshtastic nodes in #Montreal is surprisingly high.
Like lots of `Meshtastic 40af`/`40af` nodes.
Is it like this everywhere? Why don't people configure their nodes? Am I just failing to read the configured name properly? So many questions…
Edit: adding screen…

Screen shot showing default-named nodes. Hope it’s not exposing too much to show this, but they’re literally broadcasting this so I don’t feel too bad.

You can do it, little thyme plant.
I’m not ready for actual snow season to start in #montreal quite yet.

The late autumn remains of my outdoor thyme bush, clearly marked “winter thyme” but also surrounded by this morning’s snowfall and some stray fallen tree leaves.
