I went this afternoon hoping to find good Polish-style sausages. Instead I found overpriced produce and "boutique" meats at inflated prices.

I saw a Montreal hot dog stand that was 29$ for two hot dogs and some sides. I thought hot dogs were a poor person's food.

Complete nonsense.

Faudrait surtout pas que quelqu'un vienne vandaliser ça...

La ville est en train de faire une consultation (un peu biaisé contre) sur les pistes cyclables. Je vous invite à participer:

It goes up one floor. It's indoors. It's narrow. It only carries people with books. It doesn't get wet, or get pebbles in the grooves. It has been repaired many times, and even recently completely replaced as far as I know.

How is this thing always down? Anyone know?

They shot and killed one of the shooters, allegedly there are more at large

Today, on downtown Ste-Catherine next to the Best Buy, I happened to see an advertisement for a "history of psychiatry" thing on the sidewalk. Next to it some guy was handing out pamphlets.

I looked at him and said "Scientology, huh?" and the guy looked away.

So just a heads up, looks like Scientology is ramping up some sort of silliness. Do you think we'll spot Tom Cruise or Jenna Elfman?

Or should we organize a speedrun? I'm too old and fat for that, best I can do is a speedwheeze.

Bonjour à tous!

J'avais en tête comme projet cet été d'aller afficher "qqch" pour promouvoir les communautés Lemmy canadiennes à travers l'île, mais j'ai pas vraiment d'idée quel médium utiliser.

Papier dans une acétate ça prend l'eau éventuellement, j'ai vu du monde avec un bac à moppe afficher des pancartes mouillées, mais j'ai aucune idée c'est quoi le processus.

Avez-vous des idées? Je veux pas vandaliser non plus 😅

De plus, j'ai besoin de suggestions de communautés à promouvoir, à date j'ai:

• c/montreal
• c/quebec
• c/canada
• c/buycanadian

Préférablement des communautés bilingues ou Francophones.

Merci d'avance!

Genre j'ai des pneus, de l'huile usée et du métal coupant, j'ai pas vraiment le choix, et j'assume que la fin de semaine c'est encore pire.

Chris came back from his winter break feeling energized. Ubisoft’s Halifax studio, where he worked, had recently unionized with 74 percent support, joining CWA Canada. On January 5, employees returned from vacation eager to prove that unionization would make them stronger workers. But two days later, it all came crashing down.

Jean-Michel Detoc, chief mobile officer from the company’s France office, walked through the front door, unannounced. Dread descended upon the staff. By 10 a.m., all seventy-one employees were laid off. Some started crying. Others were furious. “You lose your job like that—it sounds dramatic, but it’s a traumatic experience,” says Chris (whose name has been changed to avoid professional repercussions).

The Halifax office closure was widely seen as union busting. Employees said there was no correspondence with them or the union before the layoffs. (“All impacted employees in Halifax were informed of the closure at the same time on January 7, 2026. Ubisoft immediately contacted the union on Jan. 7 to begin discussions, including negotiations regarding additional severance,” the Ubisoft spokesperson said in the response.)

Ça date d'octobre mais il ne semble pas que ça ait été posté ici. J'entends rarement parler des éboueurs et j'ai trouvé ce reportage fascinant.
