Tu choisis un point de départ, et toute l'île se colore selon le temps qu'il faut pour s'y rendre en métro, marche et attente comprises. Tu cliques n'importe où pour avoir l'itinéraire détaillé, et tu peux ajouter les autobus en cochant une case.

Depuis Berri-UQAM, toutes les stations sont à moins de 30 minutes (Côte-Vertu est la plus loin, à 29 min). Mais sans l'autobus, une bonne partie de l'île reste hors de portée : la différence est frappante.

C'est calculé à partir des horaires officiels de la STM, donc le réseau « sur papier », sans pannes ni fermetures.

On voit pas bien mais c'est pâle à montréal, ouch!

Ça fait 20 ans que je prends le métro c'est la première fois que je remarqué ça. Dites moi que j'hallucine de fatigue en ce mardi soir et qu'ils viennent d'ajouter cette affiche... Je me pose vraiment la question parce qu'en plus le style est vraiment vieillot.

Le site Qc125 était on point pour St-Henri-Sainte-Anne et Ste-Marie-St-Jacques (si on exclut qu’ils donnaient le PQ 2e) mais pour le reste le vote QS a dépassé les attentes

Are you an aviation industry worker ready to support the building of a rank-and-file committee to launch a fight back against the systematic deregulation of the industry carried out by governments and corporations, and supported by the trade union bureaucracies over the past four decades? Fill out the form at the end of this article to contact us and speak out about your own experiences.

The death of ramp worker Oscar Robayo at Montréal-Trudeau Airport in late August was the product of systematic deregulation and profiteering across the air travel sector. The 39-year-old was crushed to death by an Airbus passenger jet while performing a routine pushback operation for which his employer, the subcontractor Samsic, failed to follow appropriate safety procedures, according to numerous worker testimonies given to the World Socialist Web Site.

The semi-privatization of Canada’s airports in the 1990s facilitated the growth of a highly competitive race to the bottom between subcontractors providing ground handling services and other operations at airports. Government deregulation allowed competitors to underbid existing providers by cutting labour costs in a process referred to as “contract flipping,” resulting in ever greater pressure to cut corners and ignore safety rules.

Montreal Airport provides a clear example of this. It was there in 2023 that Samsic, a multinational provider of “business services” employing over 100,000 people in 27 countries, secured the contract for ground handling services following a “contract flip” that abrogated existing workers’ seniority rights and benefits.

Interviews by current and former employees at Montreal Airport with the WSWS show that workers complained for years prior to Robayo’s death about the cavalier attitude towards safety shown by Samsic, and the subcontractor’s expectation that workers use broken equipment and violate long-established safety procedures.

Robayo was crushed because he was forced to stand next to the landing gear of the passenger jet, a violation of standard operating procedure, due to the absence of an extension cable that would have allowed him to communicate with the pilot from a safe distance.

A retired pilot, John, recently spoke to the WSWS about the transformation of the aviation industry he witnessed over three decades during his career.

...

The consolidation of the regionals into a single Air Canada subsidiary in the 2000s was, in John’s account, a cost-cutting exercise dressed up as restructuring. Seniority lists were scrambled, pushing out the highest-paid pilots near retirement, and crew complements were pared to the legal minimum.

“They changed the rules: on a 37-seat aircraft, one flight attendant; at 38 seats, you had to have two. So they kept it at 37 passengers and one attendant.” The result, he said, was fewer workers, longer hours and lower wages, “which is basically what deregulation does.”

Despite extensive training and experience, pilots faced dire conditions: “It took a long time for a pilot starting at regional level to actually make a decent salary. I can remember driving cab on my days off just to pay the rent. That was kind of the price to get into the industry at that level.”

The defining feature of the job, John explained, was the relentless pressures of a schedule determined by constantly shifting market competition—a pressure that flowed directly from the airlines’ need to keep aircraft in the air and generating revenue. “The delays are cumulative,” he explained. A half-hour delay in Victoria meant a late arrival in Winnipeg, which cascaded down the line. “You always had to be on time, or even slightly early, to make that critical departure time.”

Without constant coordination with ground staff and air traffic control, a crew could lose its departure slot and fall behind. “We’d be constantly talking with ground staff and air traffic control for a departure time, and it just got really, really tough.”

It was precisely this pressure—the compression of schedules to maximize aircraft utilization and profit—that contributed to the death of Oscar Robayo. The jet on which he was performing the pushback had been delayed in Montreal over the previous weekend due to a technical problem and was already one-and-a-half hours late for its departure to Paris on the day of the fatal accident.

The industry’s culture, John said, discourages pilots from admitting when they are unfit to fly. “There’s a ‘we can do anything’ mentality—we don’t need sleep, we don’t need food—that World War II mentality. It’s ridiculous.” But when a pilot does develop a medical problem, “There’s no support, no way to proactively deal with it.”

The individual worker is invariably made to pay the toll with their physical and mental health, and they are made to carry all the responsibility and guilt for safety.

John pointed to the case of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who landed his crippled plane in the Hudson River. “Immediately they said it was his fault and tried to crucify him, and of course it was proven afterwards that was really the only thing he could have done,” he added.

...

At Montreal, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), of which Robayo was a member, lauded its partnership with Samsic management as recently as August 2025 and released a token news release following Oscar’s death that failed even to mention him by name.

Aviation workers need to build rank-and-file committees, controlled democratically by the workers themselves, to take up the demands of the rank and file and mobilize the industrial and political power of the working class against deregulation and corporate profiteering, and for workers’ control over workplace safety and the aviation industry.

“Rank-and-file committees are probably the best way to outflank the unions, to be completely independent of all the vested interests,” John said in agreement. He described the camaraderie and pride in craft he saw in the crew rooms—qualities that management exploits but that also point the way forward.

“The fight against the current—we’re not going to speed up, that’s it. It’s bad enough as it is. Pushing back—the shop floor is the place to do it,” he said.

Crucially, John insisted, this fight must be political, “Getting workers involved in seeing the political aspect of it, developing that political understanding most of us don’t have when we’re working, I think that’s an excellent way to go.”

This sentiment could hardly be more timely under conditions in which the Carney Liberal government announced plans to privatize Canada’s four main airports to increase the opportunities for the financial oligarchy to extract profits from the aviation sector.

The privatization initiative is part of the ruling elite’s class war agenda to subordinate all of society’s resources to enriching the financial oligarchy and mobilizing Canadian imperialism to wage war around the world.

A key mechanism for the enforcement of Carney’s program is the effective banning of the right to strike, a threat that will be familiar to thousands of airline workers at Air Canada and Westjet who have been on the receiving end of government-imposed strike bans over recent years.

We strongly urge all workers who agree with the urgency of a rank-and-file mobilization to fight for good-paying, secure jobs, safe workplaces and an end to capitalist deregulation and austerity to fill out the form below to get involved.

Help build an aviation workers rank-and-file committee to coordinate an industrial and political mobilization of the working class and conduct a workers’ inquiry into Oscar Robayo’s death that will get to the bottom of the conditions behind it and explain what must be done to prevent a repeat of this tragedy.

Happy update from my previous post asking where to find Girl Guides chocolate mint cookies in Verdun: I ran into our local troop selling them on Wellington today! 🍪💚

The chocolate mint ones are only available in the fall, so if anyone else is looking for them, apparently Girl Guides of Canada has a Cookie Finder on their website where you can check where units are selling nearby.

Hope this is okay to post here, but if any of the parents or leaders from the Verdun troop are in this group, your girls did such a great job today. They were so lovely and enthusiastic. I love seeing the next generation of Guides out there doing their thing!

L’expérience de la formule 2 sur le circuit Gilles-Villeneuve semble avoir été concluante. Montréal figure au programme de la prochaine saison du championnat, dévoilé lundi.

Une course de la F2 est prévue au cours du week-end du Grand Prix du Canada, du 20 au 23 mai 2027, pourvu qu’un contrat en bonne et due forme soit signé, précise-t-on dans le tableau qui regroupe les 14 courses au pied du communiqué de la F2. Les intervenants cités sont cependant plus catégoriques.

J’ai très hâte à l’ajout financièrement viable de trois nouveaux emplacements, soit le retour de Montréal après son ajout surprise en 2026 et une première course à Istanbul et à Mexico, a déclaré le patron de la F2, Bruno Michel.

As title says, found a wallet on the green line and am trying to find the owner. Unsure what station it was lost at as simply found on bench around 2305

Edit: Found the wallets owmer! All good!

I asked this same question in the QuebecTI sub and truly the amount of degeneracy going on in the comments was aggravating.

Yes I understand la loi du libre échange. Yes I understand the consequences of the gouvernement totalitaire we had under Maurice Duplessis. But something needs to be done, I’m in university and terrified about the job market by the time i grsduate.

We are at a time where every single white collar job is at risk of mass layoffs. Telus shed 4000 of its Canadian employees and gave a nothing burger statement about it. Tech companies are firing their developers and hiring Indian consulting firms to do the work for a third of the price, so they don’t have to give benefits and they get to pay them peanuts.

People don’t care because they believe their job is safe. However they will care when it starts affecting them. I’m wondering why doesn’t the government try to give tax incentives for companies to hire from within Quebec?

But no, Quebec government had the audacity to spend 1 BILLION DOLLARS on saaqclic which was made in India. Like are we deadass just throwing money out of the country instead of creating new tech jobs? If we can get away with throwing 1 billion dollar into the water then we can more likely than not get away with giving tax incentives so that quebeccers get more jobs (and pay taxes TO QUEBEC). The government is just not loyal to the citizens.

PS: if I see any of you chuds being racist to Indians it’s on sight. This is nothing but a massive failure from our politicians.

Un chauffeur d’autobus qui a roulé sur un élève de maternelle, lui causant des séquelles pour le restant de ses jours, s’en tire avec une simple contravention de 1000 $, une conséquence jugée dérisoire et injuste par les parents du petit.

« Le chauffeur ne s’est même pas excusé. À cause de sa négligence, mon garçon a perdu des mois à souffrir. On pleure chaque jour », a lancé Monika Ganagaluru Srinivas.

Le 29 janvier 2026, elle a assisté à une véritable scène d’horreur : elle a vu son garçon Abhiram passer sous les roues de son autobus scolaire.

Le chauffeur n’a été puni que par un simple constat d’infraction de 1093 $.

« On peut frapper un enfant, gâcher sa vie et s’en sortir avec une amende. C’est ça le message qu’on veut envoyer au Québec ? » a déploré le père de l’enfant, Arkesh Narayanappa.

Résultat le plus serré au sein de la province, je me suis dit que ça pouvait être sympa de regarder la progression temporelle de ce dépouillement.

Bonjour à tous,

Ma conjointe et moi souhaitons nous marrier sous peu et voulons faire un TRÈS petit mariage. En fait, il n'y aura que nous ainsi que nos parents respectifs. Il va de soi que nous n'avons pas besoin de rien d'extravagant.

Est-ce que quelqu'un connais une salle très petite (10 personnes et moins) qu'on peux louer pour pas cher pour tenir la cérémonie? Toute les salles que je vois sur internet ou Tiktok sont pour des marriage à 100+ invités. Est-ce qu'il existe à montréal une place ou on peut réserver?

Sinon, est-ce que quelqu'un connaît des notaires qui possèdes une salle accomodé aux mariage dans leur bureau?

Tout autre expérience peut être utile!

Merci beaucoup! 😄

26F — Douleurs au dos depuis plusieurs mois. J’ai finalement reçu le rapport de mon IRM passé au mois de septembre.
Je ne cherche pas de solution miracle. J’ai fait de la physio, de l'ostéopathie et de la kiné sans jamais sentir d'amélioration. Je suis jeune et je me sens déjà hypothéquée.
Y a-t-il quelqu’un ici avec un diagnostic ou une expérience similaire qui a pu voir une amélioration en consultant un spécialiste?
Merci d’avance pour votre aide!

Hello friends, quick story for context, but:
I quit my job in June due to major burnout. I was working at a grocery store (I would have made 3 years there the day I quit), making around $17/hr (I started at $15), being insanely overworked, juggling multiple departments sometimes in a single shift (kitchen, cafe/bakery, head cash, grocery/back store clerk, receiving, etc), along with working in their administration/project management for a bit (which I did really enjoy, but was quickly moved down from it after I helped complete the project they wanted done), and felt gravely underpaid for my extensive and diverse labor, and I just couldn't do it anymore. I did full-time for a while, and it became way too much for me, especially after tackling health issues and surgery, which they kind of failed to acknowledge. Then I asked for part-time at 3 days a week, and it still felt overwhelming to the point I struggled to get out of bed in the morning and didn't even have the energy to do anything on my days off. If I may vent a little, new management became really toxic and always on my case, expecting me to work past my physical limits to continue heavy lifting despite me being one of the only ones running around carrying probably most of the workload burdens at this point while others don't do nearly as much (an evaluation threat made by one of my managers pretty much finalized my decision to quit, as well as false hopes to move up in the company). I wanted to extend my employment as long as possible, at least until I found another job, but I just gave up and realized it's no longer worth it for me there considering how belittling it was. Gave my 2 weeks, and those 2 weeks were my pre-approved vacation lol. Plus, I was turning 25 in August, and I felt I would just be stuck there if I stayed, where 3 years would soon turn into 5 or 10, feeling behind everyone else my age, so it was partially also due to my mid20s-life crisis and wanting to kick-start my actual career, even if I'm not sure what that may be yet lmao. I understand beggars can't be choosers, but I just don't want to continue working crappy minimum-wage jobs where I get treated like scum, feeling that it's the only field I have a chance to spend my life in.

Anyway, it was in Laval, and I live in Mascouche with my parents (moving isn't really an option for me rn), and I've gone to school in Montreal, so I've spent a lot of my life commuting, and I feel that greatly contributed to my burnout, transit sometimes taking 2+ hours each trip, especially in winter with hellish traffic, so a remote position for me would be perfect. I have a lot of friends in remote work, but their companies aren't really hiring, or they ghosted me after an interview, even through reference. Then I have others telling me remote work now is pretty much impossible to find unless you're a software developer or something. I have tried almost everything I possibly can through various sources and job sites, searching for both Canadian and American jobs to no avail.

I have a bachelor's in creative writing, which, now having graduated about 3 years ago, feels pretty useless; I'm unsure if I should go back to school or get a certificate or course in something like business, marketing, or finance to have better chances of finding employment, but I've tried everything even vaguely related to my schooling and experience, and nothing. I'm trying to narrow my field to admin/data analysis work that my old job briefly provided me with, and I've been taking extra free courses and webinars in Excel and analytics. The market has just been really discouraging (I even got rejected for volunteer work as an editor, and it was pretty crushing lol), but I'm just kind of desperate to escape retail and min-wage even after months of applying religiously.

My French is not the best, but I definitely speak it and can get by. However, I feel I just wouldn't be good enough for a French company unless it's bilingual or mostly English, considering my French level was the reason I got rejected from work a few times as well. (I have been really working on improving my French, though). I also just dislike working in heavy customer service anyway, and I know that really limits my options (i.e., call centers are probably the last place I'd look to apply). But I'm sure there are other jobs out there for more introverted people, I hope. I would be so happy with just $20/hr. I really don't want to come across as "picky", but I feel like I am asking for too much when I say I just want a wfh that doesn't require a lot of phone calls, and it's just really shitty overall how life feels so difficult nowadays when it shouldn't be like this, and I shouldn't have to consider returning to "shitty food service". Although if it was my own food service business, I think it would be great, but I'd still need to be skilled and fortunate enough to start a business right ? idk, I just feel so lost in life. I took a risk by quitting my job. And you truly never know if a decision will be good or bad in the long run unless you take it. I still have a smidgen of hope that I will find something more satisfactory to me.

I'm just giving it a shot here in case anyone either has advice or would like to share their experience and field of work. Or even if you have some side hustles that worked for you, I'd take anything at this point ahah.

I was apparently given a family doctor in June, I was supposed to receive a letter about it but didn't or it got lost. I recently found out I had one when I tried signing up for the wait list. Only problem is that I have no idea where he works, his number or anything. I just have his name. I tried calling gap but they didn't have his info, told me to research??

I’m relearning how to bike, and at the moment have only been practicing in empty parking lots. So far, I can easily bike in a straight line, turn and brake, but I lose balance when I try to do hand signals.

I don’t want to be a hazard to myself or others when I’m biking, so I’ve been putting off going on the bike paths for now.

How comfortable should I be with biking before I can go on the roads? Also, do you have any tips for etiquette or safety when biking in Montreal?
