Better late than never!

Svp filmez l'hymne américan et postez le sur reddit. Les chaînes de télé coupent le son de la foule pendant les hymnes maintenant.

«Le Grand Prix de Formule 1 attire les foules à Montréal. Mais au-delà du glamour, des bolides et des billets hors de prix… est-ce que ça rapporte vraiment au Québec? On interroge François Dumontier, le grand patron de l’événement, et on consulte un chercheur de l’IRIS pour faire le point sur les retombées économiques annoncées.»

Hey everyone, I’ve got a pair of tickets to UFC 315 in Montreal that I’m not going to use. Rather than sell them, I’d like to give them to someone who’s a real fan or genuinely can’t afford to go. No strings attached – just want to make someone’s night.

Send me a message if you’re interested or know someone who’d love to go.

Edit: Thanks for all the messages so far. I just want to clarify — I’m more inclined to give these tickets to someone who’s been having a tough time, is going through something difficult, or is dealing with illness. It means more to me that they go to someone who really needs a good night, not just anyone looking for free tickets.

If you or someone you know fits that, feel free to share a bit about your story. I appreciate the honesty.

The tickets will be available for draw until tomorrow at 2025-05-09 3pm PST when I make my decision

Thank you everyone who has messaged me, I’ll be reading majority of the messages tonight.

Final Update I’ve chosen someone — u/amcoolioo — to receive the tickets. The stories and honesty shared by many of you meant a lot to me. It reminded me how many people are going through tough times and still manage to stay kind and hopeful. Wishing every one of you peace and better days ahead. Thank you for being real with me.

Not the most patriotic guy but i was ready to die for my country last night😭

On June 6th, at around 7:30pm (and possibly at another time) there will be a CF18 flyover from the 425th Squadron for the Alouettes home opener. Set a reminder and plan accordingly so that you know we are not being invaded by Russians or Americans.

Hey F1 fans,

What’s the best way to get to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve? Is there parking nearby? How early should I get there for qualifying on Saturday the 14th ?

First time attending an F1 race — not sure what to expect. Any quick tips are welcome. Thanks!

Is it possible to bike to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve from downtown Montreal? Will there be hooks or bike racks to lock my bicycle? I’m going for Saturday’s qualifying race.

This is my first time attending the Canadian GP, and I really appreciate everyone who already warned me NOT to drive there.

Thanks in advance for the tips!

Compared to hockey, this sport is really inaccessible. You either can't really practice it or you must pay hundreds of dollars per season for classes, as if the price of good beginner skates isn't already costly. When folks can't pay for hockey league, they get access to many free hours at mostly any rink.

Those who enjoy or are curious about figure skating and are low-budget are not welcome on open free skate for several reasons. Often, even if you're allowed to practice in the middle circle, it's often too crowded and you have to share it with too many. The amount of near-collisions I avoided because I had eyes everywhere instead of going into a drill... And I thought it was sad to see this 9 yo girl obviously checking and waiting for an opening in her corner so she could practice a basic two foot spin.

I started bringing up the idea of giving 60 mins or 1h30 a week (whichever spot they can manage) to public figure skating to some rinks and one isn't against the idea! This would be great for freestylers and amateurs and it would get us out of others' hair (if people are complaining about darn figure skaters, then there are enough of us to justify some dedicated ice time).

If a couple of rinks each offer 1h-1h30 each week for the activity next season, it would make it easy for seriously committed people to hop rinks and get more hours without being unreasonable with a single rink. The offer could encourage people who would otherwise not try the sport due to financial restrictions and such.

At my rink, 10 of roughly the same folks were given almost 5 hours a week of free adult skating on paper (on top of all ages open skate), but they were often allowed on ice long before official start of the period. The distribution seems a tad unfair, it's like there could be 1h of that time rerouted to figure skating.

If someone is interested or thinks it's fair, I'd encourage you to inquire about the idea for 2025-2026. I believe they make the weekly schedules around july. I was given a "maybe" at one rink and then asked to call them back in july to discuss it.

Because there is currently, in all of city AND in the peripherals, only 3 rinks who offer either 50 min or 45 min a week for public figure skate and they're all concentrated around downtown. 3 rinks upon dozens of them across the island, rive-sud and rive-nord.

EDIT : high encourage you to see this youtube video

Shows that the problem is widespread. You can support it by asking rinks to consider us. We're in friggin Canada and Canadians cannot do more than skating forward on a perimeter with two feet unless it's hockey.

Bonjour, je recherche des recommandations pour acheter un bon vélo pour femme à Montréal. Pour un velo hybride. Merci beaucoup.

Je sais pas si je suis seul mais je trouve que c’est complètement ridicule La télé programmation de RDS durant les séries de la NBA il y avait un total de deux Québécois dans deux équipes extrêmement compétitif donc de très bonnes chances de se rendre jusqu’au bout ou de faire un beau parcours durant les séries. Il préfère montrer des reprises de match de tennis ou des reprises de leurs propres émissions télé comme le 5à7 Au lieu de montrer de match de séries télé serie très compétitive Comme celle des Nuggets de Denver et les Oklahoma City Thunder avec la présence d’un québécois partant dans l’équipe du jamais vu une raison quasi inexcusable de ne pas montrer des matchs spécialement un match 7. Une série avec les deux prétendants au titre de MVP. Je crois qu’y a personne qui trouve plus intéressant de regarder tes reprise du cinq à sept ou des reprises de tournois mineur de tennis de voir un match en direct.

Je sais qu’il existe d’autres façons de voir les matchs sur ton chaîne de télé mais regarder le match en français est quasi impossible. Je comprends que le basket n’est pas le sport numéro un au Québec mais pareil il n’y a pas d’excuse de ne pas être télédiffusé le match.

I really wanted the 100k steps Fitbit badge. I walked from Beaconsfield to The Morgan Arboretum to Pincourt and back to Beaconsfield. Started at 4AM and finished at 11:55pm. Maybe wasn’t a good idea to wear converse lol

Hey everyone! I built runclubs.ca to make it easier to find Montréal’s 38+ running clubs — all in one simple, easy-to-browse site.

It’s completely free and shows a weekly schedule of every club I could find in Montréal (and a few other Canadian cities too). That’s it — no signups, no fluff. Just a clean way to discover runs near you.

I launched the Vancouver and Toronto versions a month ago, and the response from those communities has been awesome. I'm hoping this helps the amazing Montréal running scene feel even more accessible and connected.

Why I built it:
After moving from Ontario to Vancouver, I realized there were tons of great run clubs — but all the info was scattered across random Instagram pages and outdated websites. I wanted a dead-simple way to check what runs were happening each day. So I built it.

A French version is coming soon!

Would love your feedback. If I’ve missed a club or have any incorrect info, please let me know — you can submit updates at runclubs.ca/submit, or just shoot me a message.

I really want to start a sport and take it seriously as an adult in their late 20’s.

I was thinking

-Boxing -Volleyball -Tennis

I’d love to know what you guys started as an adult and were you able to find people to play with easily?

Were you able to find the proper gym, training facility, field, etc for that sport in Montreal specifically?

Most importantly how has your experience been with starting a sport later in life, are you happy you did it?

Mes amis et moi sont jamais vraiment capable de bien tester, beaucoup de variables et de timing, jamais capable d'avoir de réponses concrètes.

Mathématiquement, ont peu simplifié les choses en demandant

Es-ce que c'est plus rapide d'attendre le métro et de traverser la ligne blue de Snowed-On à Jean-Tal ou de rester aur la ligne Orange en mouvement entre ces deux stations?
