The ‘hypotheses’ of language at home and quality/proximity of schools on why some #Quebec students eligible for English schools opt for French education
“In #Montreal, about 81 per cent of those eligible choose an English school but in places like the Laurentians and Lanaudière region, it’s a different story.”
Today is #Montréal's 40th consecutive day with maximum temperature ≥ 7°C. This is the longest run before May 16 in 19 years, since May 15th, 2005. #YulWx#YUL#QCWx
La saison des feux commence et l'été devrait battre tous les records de chaleur. J'ai pensé acheter un masque pour courir. Et je m'enlignais vers le Respro Ultra-light. Avez-vous déjà couru avec un tel masque ? Est-ce supportable ?
After hearing arguments on the matter on Monday, #Quebec#SuperiorCourt Justice #MarcStPierre denied the request Wednesday morning. The judge suggested that the school modify its request and file it to court within the next 10 days.
"[Superior Court Judge] St-Pierre appeared unconvinced by [McGill's lawyer] Darche's claim that the university's convocation plans were "urgent" when compared with the rights of the protesters to demonstrate peacefully."
So, if you're in #Montreal and you were, say, thinking of going to have a wee trip to Place Du Canada today, you should be aware that at about 9am there were 15 police cars around the square, an additional five on side streets, plus the gray jumpsuited tacticool riot guys in their REALLY. BIG. MANLY. TRUCK. and the K-9 unit. I also saw the horses in their trailers heading that way. Just in case you were headed that way.
Dozens gathered on Lavoisier Boulevard in #FerlandPark in Montreal on Saturday as a pair of white shoes were installed in memory of a mother and grandmother, who was struck and killed by an SUV almost four years ago in the #StLeonard borough.
#LuciaTiberioTamburro, 82, was struck and killed by the vehicle travelling 80 KM/H, while she was walking on the sidewalk on Oct. 14, 2020.
WhatsApp has blocked me "due to spam" which (needless to say) is nonsense or some glitch on their end.
I know people will find it annoying/pretentious if I fully switch over to #signal but can you blame me after losing my primary means of communication? This fucking sucks and if it doesn't get resolved is going to mess up the next few months like i lost a wallet.
@paige Fifteen years ago I had a local #Montréal phone number through a VoIP service called Gizmo. Google bought the company, then shut down its services. My lesson was to stick to free software whenever possible.
