Classic transphobic trash coming from TERF Island. Regret rate for gender affirming care is lower than knee replacement surgery, and no one is talking about outlawing knee surgery.

And thank you Ava Max for carrying my gym playlist 🫡

On importe beaucoup de fruits et légumes de la Californie, surtout l'hiver. La forte majorité des travailleurs agricoles sont des immigrants sans papiers. Si il met vraiment son plan à exécution va falloir se préparer à une inflation de la nourriture comme on ne l'aura jamais vu.

How to become the evil grandmother of the office 👨‍🦳

Far from dead, the project sparked an important conversation about the north east's lacks of transit connectivity, spawning offspring projects like the REM de l'est, another option explored to connect the East to the downtown core.

The project, much more expensive, would have connected the densely populated east with the downtown core and the south west. Unfortunately it didn't receive the financial backing from other governments and is still in the planning phase.

In 2017, Valérie Plante (Projet Montréal, progressive) defeated incumbent mayor Denis Coderre (Ensemble Montréal, center-right) by promising among other projects the Pink line, which would have connected the north east of the Island.

The REM is a mostly overground automatic light rail system connecting the north shore and south shore suburbs, the downtown core, the north and west side of the island and eventually the airport. The South Branch is operating, the north and west branch open fall 2025 and the airport branch in 2027.

Today, two projects have taken the mantle of northern connectivity and are at different points of advancement. The Mount Royal tunnel was refurbished to host the new REM network, the biggest expansion of the Montréal light rail system in decades.

Line 3 would have split in two branches and been partly overground. The technical difficulties of having different equipment and a focus on the artificial islands built for the Universal Exposition in 1967 shifted the focus away from building the red line.

The red line would have functioned a bit differently. The Montréal Métro was built based ont the Parisian model. Trains ride only underground and use tires instead of steel wheels. This is why the Métro is much quieter and smoother than the subway in New York.

The red line would have used the Mount Royal tunnel, built for passenger trains between Montréal and Toronto at the end of the first world war. Back then Montréal and Toronto had roughly the same population, and an electric locomotive was used, compared to today's diesel ones.

(small cardinal note) Montréalers in our day-to-day language use the cardinal directions in our own way. Due to the island's diagonal shape, this is a helpful reminder of Montréal's cardinal directions.

The northern boroughs of the Island today are still chronically underserved by public transit. A study of issues for the 2018 election showed the residents of LaFontaine (in red) have the longest commute time among the ridings in Québec, including the boroughs in the exurbs of the city.

In his original vision, Drapeau saw not two, but three main lines on the island. The third line would have been the red line (3). Connecting the northern settlements on the island, it would have connected them with the downtown core through the Mount Royal tunnel.

Today, the Montréal Métro stands among the best public transit systems in North America. It is made up of four lines. The green line (1), the orange line (2), the yellow line (4) and the blue line (5). In the numbering, we see the elusive line 3 missing from the network.

Bonjour ☀️

O-O-O-O'reilly's !

It's an old map, but it's the one where we see the branches the best. You're right, the Wellington station will now be called Griffintown—Bernard-Landry.
