  • In Hochelaga, a 2 bedroom could go for about 1700$/month. So I’d look to split with a roommate.

    The neighborhood is pretty nice. You have close access to the green metro line that can take you downtown in 15 min and to most universities including McGill and Concordia and there are several bus lines as alternatives that can take you not only downtown but also in most hip neighborhoods with the bars and clubs. There’s also night bus lines directly from downtown for when your stay up too late. Most amenities are accessible in a 15-30 minute walk like groceries, pharmacy, there’s a small market at Marché Maisonneuve with specialty groceries. But there’s also low cost options like a Super C and Maxi. It’s relatively cheaper than the rest of Montreal and it’s very convenient. However it’s mostly francophone.

    Another similar neighborhood would be Verdun which is very similar to Hochelaga, but being in western Montreal, it’s more Anglophone. But I think the rent is more expensive.












  • My 1998 Honda Civic SE hatchback was all manual. Manual windows with the canks, manual door locks, manual steering (no power steering), no braking assist, no assist of ANY kind in fact, and a manual transmission. It was basically an engine, four wheels and a steering wheel.

    If EV manufacturers could make cars that are closer to my old Civic, with the only difference being the engine being swapped for an electric motor, I would switch in a heartbeat. For now I’ll stick with my 2010 Mazda 3, which I barely use except for the occasional trip to my family or friends who are out of the city or to do my groceries once a week. Until cars start using manual controls for essentials like door handles and locks, audio systems and temperature control, I want none of it.

    I’m already having trouble with touch screen tablets when I’m not driving, let alone when I need to focus on the damn road.






  • Sérieux hein? D’après ce que j’ai entendu, comme le parti conservateur est très fort dans le rete du Canada et que les Libéraux sont faibles partout, le Bloc Québécois, aparemment, pourrait devenir l’oposition officielle au fédéral.

    C’est vraiment une belle occasion en or pour pousser l’indépendance et de faire de ce projet une réalité.
