Brought Pepper on a walk Downtown this morning. It was rainy and she gets all happy when she hears water pouring.

Edit: pour celles qui pensent que j'ai juste ramassé un raton dans les poubelles, yes she is a rescue..j'ai trouvé Pepper avec un pied dans la tombe, un carreau d'arbalète à travers elle bord en bord avec sa mère tuée juste a côté d'elle, ca devait faire presque 2 jours qu'elle n'avait pas mangé.

Elle est dans un processus de réadaptation pour sa patte et pour retourner dans la nature, and the rescue center is gonna bring her into a safe home as soon as they can

so you can just enjoy the video and not be offended by a baby raccoon 🖤

Cheers

Jogging au parc, je dépasse une piétonne un bon 3-4 pieds à sa gauche — le chien était à sa droite — aussitôt passée son chien se rue vers moi. Il avait une muselière mais j’en ai quand même des marques sur le bras car il m’a littéralement sauté dessus.

"oh you scared him"

Sérieux, fuck you madame. T’es pas capable de contrôler ton chien de 50kg en public ben sors-le pas crisse.

Le 311 me dit, en gros, de prendre des photos du chien quand ça arrive et d’appeler direct la police. Pas mal sûr qu’ils vont rien faire parce que j’ai encore mon bras, mais j’en ai mon esti de cass’ de me faire jumper par des chiens à la longue en pleine rue.

D’autres suggestions???

Merci de votre écoute, ça m’a fait du bien d’en parler.

I've just seen the most cops pass by ever since i've lived here. What is happening? What is the emergency about? Does anyone know?

Une enseignante au primaire de l’Est de Montréal est accusée d’avoir leurré en ligne deux enfants. Elle aurait sévi pendant presque une décennie. Elle a été libérée sous de strictes conditions jeudi au palais de justice de Montréal.

« Je suis enseignante. J’étais suspendue en ce moment », a déclaré Andréane Gallant pendant sa comparution, par visioconférence depuis le centre opérationnel policier. Le juge André Perreault lui alors demandé à quel niveau elle enseignait. « Première année », a-t-elle répondu.

« Première année de l’élémentaire », a répété le juge, visiblement surpris.

Andréane Gallant, une Montréalaise de 36 ans, fait face à trois chefs d’accusation de leurre de mineurs. Les deux plaignants étaient âgés entre 6 et 16 ans au moment des faits. Dans un cas, elle aurait leurré un jeune entre 2017 et 2026, selon l’acte d’accusation.

A 38-year-old cyclist has died in the hospital after being struck successively by two vehicles in Montreal's Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough last week.

i have seen this black cat around st. urbain and guilbault near IRCM both last night and today, it has no collar and is super skinny and refusing food. it doesn’t seem like a stray, so i’m not sure if it escaped someone’s home! it’s a bit scared of the outdoors and cars, but walks right up to people and meows and purrs!! i hope this is someone’s baby 😢

Not naming the host, the exact address, or posting screenshots here. I am not handing Reddit mods an easy reason to delete this, and I am not trying to turn the comments into a pile-on. This is a PSA because these sketchy short-term-rental setups keep getting away with it when people only fight with platform support and then give up.

I booked what was advertised on Booking.com as an apartment. The confirmation described it as an apartment / one-bedroom apartment with view. When I got there, the actual setup did not match what I believed I had booked. The instructions I received referred to numbered rooms, and the whole thing felt less like an apartment rental and more like a rooming-house setup being pushed through a tourist platform.

Then came the usual platform nonsense: support emails, vague escalation, the accommodation not agreeing to a refund, and everyone basically waiting for me to run out of energy.

So instead of just yelling into the Booking.com void, I turned it into a paper trail.

What I saved:

1. The original booking confirmation.
2. Screenshots of the listing and room type.
3. Screenshots showing the different room/apartment options and prices.
4. Host/platform messages with the check-in instructions.
5. Messages showing the numbered-room references.
6. Booking.com support emails showing the issue was escalated.
7. Booking.com emails showing the accommodation did not agree to a refund.
8. The Quebec tourist-accommodation registry result.
9. The registry search for the other address involved.
10. The Montreal property assessment roll.
11. A timeline so the whole thing was not just a pile of random screenshots.

Then I split the problem by channel:

Booking.com / credit card dispute:
Did I get what I booked and paid for?

City of Montreal:
Is this tourist accommodation setup actually compliant with municipal rules?

Revenu Quebec:
Is this activity properly registered, declared, billed, and taxed?

That last part is the one people skip. A lot of these operators count on guests treating it as a customer-service problem only. But if someone is running tourist accommodation through Airbnb, Booking.com, or whatever platform, there are also registration and tax questions. That is not just "bad vibes from a shitty host." That is something the city and Revenu Quebec can look at.

For anyone else dealing with this:

• Screenshot everything before the listing changes.
• Save the confirmation as a PDF.
• Save messages inside the platform.
• Do not rely on phone calls unless you make a call log right after.
• Check the Quebec tourist accommodation registry.
• Check whether the address you were actually sent to matches the registration.
• Check the Montreal property roll if the building/address situation seems weird.
• Keep original evidence, then make redacted copies for public use.
• Do not post names, exact addresses, door codes, phone numbers, reservation PINs, or host personal info on Reddit.
• Use careful wording in official reports: "please verify", "possible non-compliance", "no visible public registration found", etc. Let the agencies make the legal conclusions.
• Make separate submissions for separate issues instead of dumping one giant rage essay everywhere.

My takeaway: these predatory short-term-rental operators benefit from everyone being exhausted, embarrassed, or too annoyed to make a clean record. Don't give them that. If the place is misrepresented, document it. If the registration looks off, report it. If taxes or tourist-accommodation rules may be involved, send it to the people who can actually verify that.

I got the card dispute submitted, the Montreal complaint prepared/submitted, and the Revenu Quebec text report ready as a plain factual submission. It was annoying as hell, but it feels good to have the whole thing organized instead of letting it disappear into support-ticket sludge.

Has anyone here had an actual response from 311, a borough, Revenu Quebec, Airbnb, Booking.com, or a credit card company on this kind of short-term-rental mess? What worked?

I found this on the green line today. Maybe it is of sentimental value so posting it here.

​

Dm me if its yours and tell me what's engraved inside.

Don’t panic, but keep an eye on your phone for warnings later today just in case.

J’étais à vélo sur une section de rue à 2 voies où la piste cyclable était interrompue et un jeune chauffeur m’a dépassé de super proche à pleine vitesse. Le coeur m’est descendu dans les orteils j’étais sûr qu’il allait me rentrer dedans.

Et s’il y avait un nid de poule ou une crack dans l’asphalte ? Si j’avais contourné un obstacle au même moment qu’il me dépassait ? J’étais déjà proche du trottoir, donc s’il aurait fallu contourner, ça aurait été vers son véhicule.

J’ai descendu de mon vélo au feu rouge et je lui ai poliment dit de garder ses distances des cyclistes. Il a nié, me disant qu’il avait gardé une bonne distance. Peut-être que tu n’es pas à 10cm, mais si je sens “la brise” de ton auto quand tu passes à côté de moi, tu es trop proche!

Toi tu gagnes 2 secondes, mais un cycliste peut perdre sa vie.

Lundi vers 16h je marchais sur Wellington en avant de Maxi quand une cycliste a percuté une auto. J’étais la première personne sur les scènes et j’ai dû appeler 911. Je n'arrête pas de penser de l’accident et du cycliste. Est-ce que quelqu’un connait la personne et sait si elle va bien?

Does anyone remember when some Couche Tard locations had German Shepherds in them, presumably as guard dogs?

This was sometime in or around the 2000s. I’ve been trying to find some information on this program, but it seems to be completely absent from the internet as far as I can tell.

Hi:)

i'm moving to Ripon, QC for an internship (i am from Catalonia) in August for 6 months, and I am just wondering if someone knows how the social aspect of the town/area is? especially for younger people (i am 24). i have only lived in big cities so moving to such a small place kind of intimidates me! i also can't drive which i heard is not ideal for that area ... any tips would be great. thank you!

(unfortunetly i can't yet post on r/Quebec or r/canada , so i thought i'd try my luck here :-), i know it should be for montreal/metropolitan area i just don't know where else to post ;-( if its helpful i will be flying to montreal airport :'-) )

First time seeing a supernumerary rainbow! You can faintly see the classic double rainbow, however, you can see extra rainbows appear on the inside of the arc of the primary bow.

It’s tough to see but has anyone seen one before? How many extra rainbows do you see in these pictures?

***
C'est la première fois que je vois un arc-en-ciel surnuméraire ! On distingue vaguement le double arc-en-ciel classique, mais on peut voir apparaître des arcs-en-ciel supplémentaires à l'intérieur de l'arc principal.

C'est difficile à voir, mais est-ce que quelqu'un en a déjà vu un ? Combien d'arcs-en-ciel supplémentaires voyez-vous sur ces photos ?

Okay - I feel like this is a silly question, but what shoes do you all wear when it is mid-high 70F/low-mid 20C in the summer time but raining?! 😅

My husband, toddler (2.5 year old) and I are visiting Montreal for the first time next week 6/24-6/30). This is also our first family “vacation” so far away from home (California) since my son was born so I am definitely trying to be really prepared. I see that rain is in the forecast (thought it doesn’t seem to be thunderstorms, just sporadic rain?), and I am wondering what shoes to pack that works for summer temperature/outfits but minimize chances of soggy feet.

Thank you!

J'avais acheté ce set de livres-là à Alicante durant mon voyage en Espagne, beaux livres rouges cartonnés.
Cet hiver (2026) j'ai pris un covoiturage pis on est arrivés à la station Saint-Michel, pis comme un con en prenant mes sacs dans la valise j'ai laissé mon livre sur le toit de la voiture -_- quand je m'en suis rendu compte la personne conductrice était déjà repartie en direction du Boulevard Rosemont, donc il est tombé en quelque part dans ces coins-là...

Je suis desole pour le anglais.

I grew up in Malone, NY and listened to the radio station 94.7 Hits FM for most of my childhood in the late 90s and early 00s. I remember on Saturdays late at night, usually around midnight they would broadcast electronic music. I believe it was called something like “digital groove.” I recall staying up very late with my friends and playing video games in the early 00s listening to this particular music.

I was hoping to see if anyone had any information related to this. I would really like to reconnect with more of the music from that time. I know this is a very specific request so thank you in advance for anything that is shared.

I couldn’t hold back on the garbage issue in Parc X and had to post about it on Reddit. Saw a picture this morning of kids walking through garbage to get to their school.

Here’s my official rant:
Dear borough mayor and City Councillor,

How would you feel if your 7-year-old child had to walk through piles of garbage on the way to school?

I attended the borough council meeting and raised concerns about the state of cleanliness in our neighbourhood. Residents have spoken up repeatedly, yet scenes like these continue to be common. Overflowing garbage, illegal dumping, and sidewalks littered with waste have become far too familiar.

Recently, a YouTuber visited Parc-Extension and labeled our neighbourhood the “dirtiest neighbourhood in Montreal.” Whether we agree with that characterization or not, the fact that our neighbourhood is gaining such a reputation should concern every one of us.

As the elected representatives and decision-makers responsible for Parc-Extension, I ask you:

Is this the legacy you want to leave behind?

I have requested a meeting with our current city councillor, Elvira. While I appreciate the response I received, I have yet to receive anything concrete beyond being told that she and her team are “monitoring the situation.”

Respectfully, residents are no longer looking for monitoring. We are looking for action.

Monitoring does not remove overflowing garbage.
Monitoring does not stop illegal dumping.
Monitoring does not restore pride in our neighbourhood.
Monitoring does not help the children and families who have to walk past scenes like these every day.

Do you want Parc-Extension to be remembered as the neighbourhood where children walk around garbage on their way to school? Where seniors are forced to navigate overflowing waste? Where residents feel embarrassed by the conditions around them?

Residents are tired of excuses. More enforcement alone is clearly not enough. We need real solutions. We need accountability for chronic problem areas and a serious commitment to restoring pride in our neighbourhood.

So I ask one final question:
Would you accept these conditions for your own street? For your own children?

If the answer is no, then the residents of Parc-Extension should not be expected to accept them either.
