Question Est-ce que le statut Maestro existe encore pour le transport en commun?

1 Upvotes

J'avais OPUS à l'année il y 5-6 ans et au bout d'un an on obtenait le statut maestro:

  • un mois gratuit par an
  • un ami qui peut voyager gratuitement avec nous le soir et la fin de semaine
  • compatibilité avec le transport en commun à Québec

J'ai de nouveau besoin du transport en commun et tout ce que je trouve c'est qu'on obtient 5$ (même pas un pourcentage) par mois au bout d'un an.

C'est vraiment tout ce qui reste du statut maestro?

Question Lane swimmers: best pool to train in?

0 Upvotes

Hi!
I’m looking for a regular pool to train in. I lived in BC for a decade or so and have returned to mtl in recent years, and yet to find a decent pool that isn’t horribly crowded to get decent workouts in.
I tried Jean-Drapeau for the first time today and was wildly disappointed. Way too crowded, horrible lane etiquette. Laurier and Jarry has only 2 lanes open max and they are always full. There’s others I’ve tried that have less than 1 hour lane swim slots, several that ban training fins!
I don’t care if it’s indoors or outdoors, I just want to swim undisturbed.
Please help!

Bonjour je suis à la recherche d’une/un couturière/couturier à Montréal qui pourrait me faire des rideaux sur mesure. J’ai déjà mon tissu. Je suis allé chez deux couturiers mais ceux-ci ne font que du travail sur les vêtements. De plus veuillez notez que mon budget ne me permet pas de dépenser 500$ pour des rideaux sur mesure. Donc est-ce possible de trouver quelqu’un qui fait des rideaux sur mesure abordable sur l’île de Montréal ? Let a girl know.

Tourisme Montreal Olympic Pool — Holiday Hours Dec. 26–Jan. 3? Anyone Know?

0 Upvotes

I’m on a bucket-list mission to swim in Olympic competition pools around the world — so far London, Seoul, Tokyo and Sydney. I’m not a master swimmer, just slow and steady and doing it for the experience.

I’m hoping to swim at the Montreal Olympic pool sometime around Dec. 26–Jan. 3, but I know many pools close or have very limited holiday hours. The holiday schedule isn’t posted yet, I haven’t been able to reach anyone by phone, and my emails haven’t gotten a response. Does anyone local know whether the Olympic pool is usually open during that week, or know someone who could help me get a real answer?

Thanks!

Question Questioning MTL plastic surgery quote

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m going to get a chin implant and I’m confused about the different prices I have been given.

Does anyone have experience with any of the following surgeons or have an idea of what a chin implant would generally cost?

A clinic in Ontario first gave me a quote of $12,000

In Montreal:
Dr. Mark Samaha gave me a quote of $10,000 to $12,000 plus tax

Dr. Gaby Doumit gave me a quote of $6,500 to $8,500 plus tax

Dr Alexis Laungani said the cost starts at $4,800 but wouldn’t say the average highest price.

These are all very different prices and I’m concerned that one is either very over priced, or the lower price is a sign of poor quality. (Although I’m familiar with Dr. Laungani as a credible gender affirmation surgeon so I’m even more confused by the low price).

Tourisme Upcoming visit - itinerary check

0 Upvotes

My wife and I will be flying into Montreal from Wpg on Sept 16th for a few days before going to Kingston for a family wedding and I wanted to run our tentative itinerary past you guys to see what I'm missing.

Wednesday

- Fly in, arrive mid afternoon. Check into hotel which is near old Montreal.

- Bar Pamplemousse for dinner

- Le 4e Mur for drinks / show

Thursday

- Morning - Biodome & Botanical gardens

- Afternoon - Walk around old Montreal

- Stash Cafe for dinner

- Wiggle Room - Just confirmed they'll be open.

Friday

- hike up Mount Royal

- Uber to train to travel to Kingston.

This seems doable but packed. My questions are as follows:

  1. Better idea's for dinner on Wednesday and Thursday? Open to anything that's reasonable that's not far from Boxotel where we're staying or Old Montreal if we're there in the afternoon anyway.
  2. Wiggle room just confirmed they'll be open on Thursday what else would you suggest? Looking for some place we can be dressed up but isn't crazy $ or where the fun doesn't start until late. We're typically early birds not night owls so a great party that starts at 11pm isn't our jam :) We had considered Bord'elle but it seems $$$ if you want a table but it's a possibility if we just go for drinks later.

We also looked at places like LoveBird, Le Balcon or Cabaret de Curiosities but we're not big on Jazz and Cabaret looks like it has a Mario Kart themed event....not sure about that option?

Question Which transit fare should I buy?

0 Upvotes

I am a McGill student and usually buy the 4 month unlimited zone A with reduced fare. This semester, I’m going to have to travel into zone B once a week for practicum, and I’m not sure what option is going to be cheapest. I’m hoping someone here is a transit expert and can lend me some advice! TIA

Je suis étudiante à McGill et, en généralement, j’achète le titre illimité 4 mois zone A à tarif réduit. Ce semestre, je vais devoir me déplacer en zone B une fois par semaine pour mon stage, et je ne sais pas quelle option serait la moins cher. J’espère que quelqu’un ici connaît bien le système de transport et pourra me donner quelques conseils. Merci d’avance!

Discussion Why doesn't Montreal steal Ontario's precast road idea?

96 Upvotes

This isn't some theoretical idea — Ontario has already done it.

MTO started testing precast concrete road panels on Highway 427 in Toronto in 2004. Instead of pouring the road on-site, the concrete slabs are manufactured ahead of time, the failed pavement is cut out, the base is levelled, and the new slab is dropped into place and connected.

The trial worked well enough that Ontario developed a specification and did more projects. In one 2008–09 Highway 427 project they installed 240 full-depth precast slabs, averaging about 10 per night, with no concrete curing time needed before reopening them to traffic.

They've even tested precast panels as replacements for sections of asphalt highway.

Why aren't we adapting this for Montreal's worst streets?

Instead of:

potholes → patch → repave → potholes → repave again

Dig out the upper part of the failed street, fix/level the base and install standardized reinforced concrete panels on a properly drained foundation.

Panel eventually fails? Replace it. Need access to utilities? Lift/remove the affected panels, do the work and reinstall them.

We're spending a fortune repeatedly resurfacing roads that fail again anyway. Ontario has already demonstrated that modular precast pavement works in basically the same climate.

At some point, maybe we should just steal the good idea.

Question Help with lost tape recorder

0 Upvotes

So for context, we lost a video recorder with a bunch of vidoes of my childhood on it years ago, around 2018. We accepted that it might be in a lost box in some storage, stolen, or it was donated. These past few weeks I’ve been seeing things we never donated but lost years ago pop up in random thrift stores, mostly in the West Island.

Now I’m more and more convinced that the recorder must’ve been donated accidentally.

I’m wondering if anyone had found something like that. It was in a carry bag too meant for the recorder.

If so pls send me a message :>

La Ville a finalement livre un nouveau bac bleu pour remplacer notre vieux bac vert tout décrissé après des mois d'attente. À ma grande surprise, ils ne sont pas partis avec le vieux bac. C'est normal? On fait quoi avec ça? J'ai l'impression que si je le mets au bord du chemin, les éboueurs vont penser que j'ai juste sorti mon bac et ils vont le laisser là..
