I noticed the other day that sword on this statue in Square Philips was rubbed gold.
This made me wonder if there are any other statues in #Montreal that get rubbed, and if not, what should we be rubbing?!

I’d be so happy if the whole country got elections at every level this year. Canadians voted for incumbents during and after the pandemic at abnormally high rates.
A lot of those elections done under societal duress just don’t line up with where citizens are at and kind of need a redo.

I think car owners are only just getting an idea of what it has felt like to own a decent bike forever.
Imagine if a car left locked on an urban street for a couple of nights was almost guaranteed to be stolen.
Imagine that most people you knew just didn’t buy new cars because they were too likely to be stolen.
Imagine that you had to park in in a garage, and could only visit friends with a garage to park it in.
Imagine you intentionally painted silly colours so people wouldn’t take it.

It's worth mentioning that BILL C-371 from Taylor Bachrach would give #canada passenger #rail priority.
It's just sitting there after first reading.
People who like rail transportation should encourage their local MPs to support this bill.
It's an easy win.

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.

Happy to see #cbc investing in the fundamentals in #montreal, this series does everything right.
I listened to a few of the episodes on stuff I know about and they’re doing a pretty good job.
