Hello. I will be visiting Montreal in June for F1 and I'll be driving up from New York and wanted to stay in the city. I want to book accommodations but I'm not sure which choice would be the best for me. Since I'll be driving up I'll need my vehicle to go do stuff around the city but I'll Also need access to Station Berri UQAM. My problem is parking around the train station and if they allow 24 hour parking and in and out access. I can stay further away and only use the parking for the time I'm at the track. I have a friend who lives walking distance 5 minutes away from Statiom Berri UQAM but I'm also able to stay about 15 minutes away in the Parc Jarry area. If anyone has recommendations on how to approach this it's greatly appreciated. TIA

You board the metro, orange line heading towards downtown. Different groups hopping onto the metro car pre drinking and getting ready to party. A bunch of noise from all groups ensue. Grown adults making childish noises. 1st or 2nd year kids being loud af and making jokes. A bunch of girls laughing in joy. Someone punching the glass window of one of the metro cars. And the best part is, everyone else is laughing, minding their own business or shaking their heads, but it’s okay and everyone continues to do what they want. Then they all get off at Berri-UQAM and it’s quiet again.
A gorgeous Friday night in Montreal commences, ladies and gentleman. Welcome to the weekend.

I am so excited that ea sports college football is coming back this summer. I cannot wait to play as Alabama football all the time as well as other teams like Georgia, LSU, Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio State, Kansas, Texas A&M, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Notre Dame and more. We already know that all 134 FBS teams are going to be in the game, but I have been wondering, what about all the schools from the lower divisions of college football. The last game to have FCS in full was NCAA football 08. Prior to that FCS teams in NCAA Football 2002 through 2010 but they were the 6th gen consoles (PS2, Xbox, Gamecube) In NCAA 14, they were barely involved only appearing in dynasty mode in generic forms. It would be amazing to see these FCS teams back in the game, only this time there would every FCS team in the game instead of select ones including HBCUs. In addition we would also have Divison II and Division III teams too (including HBCUs). They won’t be available immediately at launch when the game comes out, but hopefully they will be available through DLC and future titles as long as they clear NIL issues and other types of legal problems. By having them in ea sports games, I would increase possibilities of having players play more FCS vs FBS teams and possibly see players play d3 vs fcs , d2 vs fbs, d3 vs d2, etc. Here are the list teams I would like to see in the upcoming ea sports college football game or future games:

What do you guys think

J'aimerais entendre ce que vous en pensez mais je pense qu'on exagère un peu le niveau de danger du métro. Il me semble que ces temps-ci à tous les jours j'entends des histoires d'horreur de malade par rapport au métro de Montréal. J'utilise le métro à tous les jours et même dans les spots plus sketch, en soirée, (Berri-UQAM, Atwater, Beaudry) je ne me suis jamais senti en danger même quand il y a beaucoup de sans-abri à proximité. J'ai vécu deux ou trois expériences sketch (se faire approcher par une prostituée sans mon consentement, tentative ratée de vol de cell, devoir traverser la rue à cause qu'un hobo était en psychose et attaquait un arbibus), mais ces incidents étaient isolés & du basic street smartness m'a sorti de toutes les situations.
Je dois mentionner que je suis un homme blanc et donc je suis privilégié pour ma sécurité par rapport au sexe opposé surtout. Mais ayant visité New York, Memphis, Atlanta, Nashville, Toronto, je peux dire qu'à Montréal c'est la ville d'Amérique du Nord où je me sens le plus en sécurité et qu'on est très privilégiés par rapport aux autres villes de notre continent. J'ai l'impression qu'on s'en rend pas compte; d'un côté on raconte des histoires d'horreur sur le métro, de l'autre je vois à tous les matins du monde traîner des affaires dispendieuses dans des grosses foules du métro matinal sans même avoir peur de se faire agresser ou pickpocketer.
EDIT: Je tiens à préciser après avoir lu quelques commentaires que je ne cherche pas à clore la discussion, à invalider le sentiment d'insécurité que certains, surtout femmes, peuvent ressentir (c'est pourquoi j'ai noté mon privilège), ni à dire qu'on a "pas le droit de chialer". Je cherche plutôt à faire des parallèles avec d'autres réalités qui se trouvent dans des pays soi-disant sécuritaires (Canada, É.-U.) et faire remarquer que notre situation en matière de sécurité est de meilleure qualité. Bien entendu, je remarque en lisant vos commentaires qu'il y a effectivement une dégradation et il faut en discuter et agir pour ne pas finir comme à San Francisco. Mon intention était de remettre les choses en perspective et de pousser la discussion plus loin, et les commentaires ne me déçoivent pas! Merci à tous ceux qui ont écrit dans la discussion sans tomber dans la chicane ou l'ad hominem, c'est très enrichissant:)

Acquaint yourself with some guys who may be the next coach of the Buffalo Sabres. I’ve seen/heard 25 names associated with the position, some are realistic and some in jest. All coaches are listed in alphabetical order by last name. Please let me know of anyone I may have missed.

Bonjour!
Est-ce que quelqu'un sait ce qu'il s'est passé dans le métro ce midi vers 12h30?
~12h30: annonce : code 907 berri-UQAM ligne jaune. (Matières dangereuses) ~12h32: annonce : arrêt des lignes vertes, orange, et jaune. ~12h35: évacuation des stations entre Atwater et Viau sur la ligne verte. Évacuation des stations entre Beaubien et L. Groulx ~13h10: reprise des services.
J'ai pris le vélo à la place pour aller au bureau, et je suis passé devant berri-UQAM il y avait deux camions de pompiers, une ambulance et une poignée de policiers à chaque entrée bloquant l'accès.
Je sais qu'il y a de la construction par là-bas, ou alors c'était peut être un exercice ?
Je ne trouve aucun article là-dessus (en même temps c'est tout frais) et jme posais la question s'il y avait quelqu'un qui avait plus d'infos icitte

If you are looking for something to do tonight - Orchestre classique de Montréal has a concert at Pierre-Mercure Hall at the Pierre-Péladeau Centre near Berri-UQAM metro.
There is free tickets to give away. Come to the box office table and say that Danielle sent you.
Here's more information on the concert: https://en.orchestre.ca/between-heaven-and-hell/

hi ! I'm looking for a studio (2 1/2 or bigger) for me and my partner for the next school year, move in date July or August. we want to be max 30min away from Berri uqam and ideally with appliances included. our budget is pretty flexible, obviously lowest is best but I'd say 1200 top. I really hope that's realistic with the crazy market right now, if anyone is looking to transfer a lease around those dates let me know !! we're both students but parents can co sign and I have a pretty good credit

Bonsoir!
Je suis de Trois-Rivières et je n’ai absolument jamais conduis à Montréal.
J’ai un spectacle à allé voir au Centre Bell un mercredi soir. J’avais l’intention de garder mes bonnes habitudes et de laisser ma voiture dans les stationnements de l’Université de Sherbrooke à Longueuil, mais j’ai constaté que le dernier métro du Centre Bell jusqu’à Berri UQAM passait à 23h30-ish et mon spectacle risque de terminer plus tard.
Je pensais prendre un taxi à la fin de mon spectacle et retourner à Longueuil de cette façon, mais j’en suis venue à la conclusion que ce serait probablement plus coûteux et compliqué à la sortie d’un show. Alors, ma dernière option envisageable est de conduire jusqu’à Montréal et possiblement prendre un ticket de stationnement au Centre Bell.
J’ai lu quelques posts et le trafic semble difficile et/ou les prix des stationnements sont dispendieux? Alors j’ai besoin des conseils des montréalais, juste pour rassurer une personne qui a roulé en sens inverse dans le centre-ville de trois-rivières par accident et qui commence à stresser un peu pour sa première expérience auto-Montréal.

I am hoping to learn to fish again after a 40-year absence and volunteer. My wife loves to sew and quilt.
Our main motivation is being near our daughter who lives in Montreal.
We are impressed with Plattsburgh’s waterfront, trails, parks, hospitals, shops, and transportation (Greyhound, Amtrak).
We do not drive and mostly walk now and use uber and buses here in Costa Rica.
Not sure if we would buy a house to rent.
Not knowing how we handle winter, we are thinking initially about being snowbirds if winter is too much for us.
I am hoping to learn to fish again after a 40 year absence and volunteer. My wife loves to sew and quilt.
I welcome any insights or advice.

No service from Berri to Montmorency for over an hour. Lines of 100s of people waiting for a bus.

Salut Quebec,
​
En cette belle soirée de mars, je vous propose de lire l'histoire qui m'est arrivée aujourd'hui en voulant me rendre du beau quartier d'Hochelag' jusqu'à ma demeure sur la rive nord.
​
Étant un amateur d'urbanisme, j'opte souvent pour le transport actif et en commun lorsque cela m'est possible. C'était d'ailleurs le cas aujourd'hui, mon plan étant d'utiliser notre bon vieux métro pour me rendre jusqu'à Laval et ainsi emprunter le train de banlieue.
​
Tout se déroule bien au début: je me rends à la station la plus proche, je trouve une billeterie sans file d'attente et je m'achète un billet à usage unique parce que je me procrastine pour me procurer une carte Opus contemporaine.
​
"Attention à tous les usagers, la ligne verte sera hors de service durant 20 minutes"... Merde! Je me suis arrangé pour arriver seulement 10 minutes à l'avance à la gare de Laval et le prochain train ne pointera son nez que trois heures plus tard. Pas grave, je vais prendre l'autobus.
​
10 minutes passe, puis 20, puis 30 et il n'y a toujours aucun signe d'un MPM-10 ou d'un MR-73. C'est alors que la nouvelle débarque: de la fumée a été détectée et il faut évacuer la ligne verte!
​
Me retrouvant dans cette situation pour la première fois, je me mets à réfléchir aux alternatives pouvant me porter de mon point A à mon poit B en marchant jusqu'à l'extérieur: la marche? Trop long. Bixi? Je n'ai pas de compte. Le taxi? Trop cher. L'autobus? On dirait bien que la 97 est mon meilleur choix malgré que l'attente sera plutôt longue.
​
Heureusement, c'est en sortant de la station que j'ai apperçu cet autobus avec l'étiquette "trajet spécial". J'entre dedans, je demande si il se rend à Berri-UQAM et, pas de chance, il me dit qu'il part dans l'autre direction et me pointe l'agent de la STM de l'autre côté de la rue.
​
La soixantaine de personnes et moi sommes reconduits jusqu'au lieu où l'autobus est censé nous récupérer et celui-ci arrive enfin après une attente assez longue. Je m'assis à côté des touristes grecs semblant plutôt confus du fait qu'ils ne parlent pas français et l'autobus décolle après les nombreux bruits de klaxons des automobilistes incapables de doubler en raison des rénovations.
​
Le trajet se déroule aussi bien qu'un trajet d'urgence peut se passer et nous arrivons à la fameuse station Berri-UQAM. C'est dans la ligne orange que je m'aperçois qu'il faudra que j'attendes une autre demi-heure pour pouvoir embarquer dans le dernier autobus nécessaire à mon périple en regardant Google Maps.
​
J'arrive à Laval et, par miracle, un autobus de ma ligne est là, de l'autre côté de la fenêtre, comme si les étoiles s'étaient alignées afin de me sauver ce 30 minutes supplémentaires semblant inévitable à mon épopée.
​
Je cours, je cours et j'embarque dans l'autobus pour apprendre à mon horreur que mon billet est maintenant expiré. J'explique ma situation à la dame avec un léger espoir qu'elle me laisse pénétrer sans payer, mais, pas de chance, je n'arrive pas à l'amadouer. Exo n'acceptant pas les cartes débit ou de crédit dans ses engins de transport de masse, elle me donne trois minutes pour retourner à l'intérieur et me procurer une nouvelle passe.
​
Je tiens à m'excuser à tous les occupants de cet autobus bondé, car la situation ne s'annonçait déjà pas bien devant la seule billeterie hors-terre. Au front, un soldat épuisé de la guerre pitonnant aussi vite que ma grand-mère sur internet. En renfort, un bleu ne connaissant pas les nouvelles zones tarifaires de la région. En arrière, moi tentant de cacher l'anxiété d'être à un coup de pédale de devoir perdre 30 minutes supplémentaires à attendre.
​
Mes neufs dollars supplémentaire sacrifiés aux dieux du transport, je réussis à m'infiltrer au sein de l'engin et même qu'une place m'attendais au coup d'un espace de jambe restraint pour la femme en face de moi.
​
Mon arrêt sur la rive arrive. Je débarque, je marche quinze minutes, puis j'arrive enfin... Après toutes ces péripéties, j'arrive enfin à mon automobile stationné à la gare! Il ne reste qu'à combler la dizaine de kilomètres non desservie par le transport en commun et trop dangereuse pour faire en bicyclette.
​
Comme bilan, cela m'a pris plus de trois heures au lieu d'une heure trente pour faire un voyage de 40 minutes en auto et ça m'a coûté plus cher que ce que j'aurais payé en essence. Comment est-ce qu'on peut blâmer les individus en dehors de Montréal de ne pas vouloir prendre le transport en commun quand c'est ça le meilleur qu'on peut leur offrir...
