Yes the one in Plaza CDN.
I just pray that the little Chinese restaurant will stay (the uncle/auntie there seem to say they will) after the renovation

The one in Dorval has been doomed for a long time and everybody knew it. The whole mall it's attached is dying off too as the tenants have been largely driven out to make way for development there. Not just that mall either. the small strip malls, the old theatre and other buildings along that strip are either gone or slated to go. It's going to be an eyesore for sure.
Why do we not have any Asian outcall agencies?
All these agencies popping up, but all are incall. They may include outcall in their ads, but when you ask, you get an answer of " oh, sorry, no out call today. And if they say okay, they add 100$ to the hourly rate. Just so you forget about it and never ask again.
What a fuvking world we live in.

Instead of only bitching about how dirty Montreal is (because it's true) I myself picked up some trash from my local park. Going to do it again tonight. Every little bit counts as they say! Maybe one day we'll have people who know how to dispose of their trash properly!
I used to be part of the yearly Mont-Royal cleaning social event. It was very satisfying, had to stop because of sciatica problems, otherwise I would still participate.
STREETS / Montréal, Toronto and Burlington
Comparison of the structure of a typical local street
Based on official standards and comparative studies:
- MTQ for Quebec
- MTO for Ontario
- VTrans for Vermont
1. Montréal (Quebec) / typical local street
- Bituminous concrete (total asphalt): about 7.5 cm.
- Granular foundation (often MG-20): 15 to 20 cm.
- Subfoundation (often MG-112 or equivalent): 30 cm.
2. Toronto (Ontario) / typical local street
- Bituminous concrete (total asphalt): 9 cm. This is slightly more generous than in Montréal.
- Granular foundation (Granular A): 15 to 20 cm.
- Subfoundation (Granular B): 30 cm.
Ontario and Quebec are very similar here. Costs are optimized, with a relatively thin foundation and a good sub-base for drainage.
3. Vermont (Burlington and surroundings)
- Bituminous concrete (total asphalt): 10 cm.
- Granular foundation (base course): 50 cm.
This is the big difference. Vermont builds a deep granular base from the start to better withstand freeze-thaw cycles.
- Subfoundation (sand cushion anti-frost): about 30 cm. Comparable to the other two regions.
Why are Vermont's roads more durable?
The thick foundation (50 cm) better absorbs movements caused by freezing and thawing, even if the asphalt isn't much thicker.
SIZE (of the granular foundation) MATTERS!

I am extremely tired of the madness and desperation I encounter daily on my way to and from work on the STM. It has become a nightmare. It is so bad that I consciously avoid certain stations.
It`s not just you. It`s getting worse. Just a couple of very recent articles:
https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/2026-04-09/itinerance-au-quebec/un-nouveau-sommet-est-atteint.php
Bring in too many people; don't build enough homes/apartments: rents go up by a lot: homelessness goes up. Add extremely toxic drugs to the mix circulating on the streets and you have the perfect storm. Canada is basket case.
Very well said, and the crux of the problem. The sad part is that Canadians elected the same government to clean up their own mess, and they now have a manufactured majority to do what they want.
It will not get better, only worse. This summer will be nasty.
And the two least-well informed reactions I hear most often are 1) you are racist 2) blame the landlords. This is 100% ignorant. We blame the government for having had a thoroughly mismanaged immigration policy. We were a model for the world with respect to immigration before Trudeau made a big whole mess out of it. The damage that he inflicted on this country is beyond measure. And now he is partying dressed like a teenager with his pop star girlfriend. I just cannot believe it.
Again, well said and true. The point system needs to be brought back, and the family class and Bill C3, which just passed the Senate, must be repealed. Most Canadians are ill-informed and ignorant. That is my bitch and gripe today!
I am off to the office now, and about to board the Metro system. Hopefully, I won't encounter anyone taking a shit on the car or shooting up today.
Or try to take it earlier like me, I usually see students off to school
Today will be a long day. I lost my purse a couple days ago. I have to go to the bank, go get a double set of keys for my home and for my incall, go get my nails done (the appointment was already made before losing my stuff lol), and I have a duo this evening.
Currently sitting on my shower floor being lazy about it all. Ok let's do this lol

Poor you.
Hope everything goes well for you and you get everything straightened out without too much hassle.

You put something up for sale on Facebook or Kijiji or whatever, you clearly write in the ad that if the ad is still up the object in question is still available, so please don't write to ask if it's available or not. Subsequently, 75% of the messages you get are "Is it still available?". Can't we do something to improve the gene pool? I'm trying to decide whether people are too lazy to read a two line ad or whether they're too stupid to understand what's in those two lines. Bilingual ad too. It bugs the shit out of me because even if I tell them not to ask, and they do, I waste my time and answer them anyway, and then never hear from the again after I send them a positive response. I'm also trying to decide whether "no good deed goes unpunished" applies here, and I think probably that it doesn't, but I still feel like they're punishing me anyway. sigh.
It's because it's the default button on an ad that everyone press first lol
Yes, I know, but for chrissakes, you only have to read two lines and then make a tiny conscious decision not to send the message that the ad asks you not to. It's not hard. You can write literally anything else. The simple, short, friendly little ad only asks you not to send one type of message. It's not overly demanding. You could ask about the item, offer a price, make an appointment, ask about condition, send a picture of a pretty flower, a recipe for nanaimo bars, a description of the terrible case of athlete's foot you have, anything really. Why would you respond with literally the only thing that you've been asked not to do? How stupid or lazy do you have to be?
