I don't need to download the app if I'm savvy enough to have my preuve de vaccination pre-downloaded, right? It seems like as long as I have the PDF with the QR code in it, I can just show that.

Gros Tarla posted:It was never about apostrophes specifically, the whole signage had to be in French. And if there was ambiguity with a name and then you add an apostrophe, then it made it clear it was english. That was initially, at least. Now, all trademarks are allowed in whatever language (including apostrophes), as long as there's french signage too. So for example, Best Buy has "magasin électronique et électroménagers" or stuff like that near it. Best Buy is a common example but it's weird to me because there's nothing about the English words to suggest they're a consumer electronics store. But a store named "Meilleur Achat" wouldn't legally need to have prominent signage describing what they sell. Now I'm imagining stores like Vieille Marine and La Cible popping up.

infernal machines posted:lol, and also lmao. The riding I'm in was a "three-way race" according to "polling" between the Liberals, QS, and CAQ as of a few weeks ago. Immediately after that one QS candidate was found to be stealing opposition flyers from a mailbox, the "poll" changed to be a coinflip between the QLP and CAQ. In the end the Liberals won, QS strong second, and CAQ got less than half the QLP votes.

tagesschau posted:The ability to borrow gobs of money for essentially nothing is gone for the foreseeable future. The insanity will not stop until the speculators and the government face reality and stop trying to will an economic perpetual-motion machine into existence, but the more forcefully they try, the worse the hangover will be. They've been keeping the plates a-spinning for well over a decade now, and neither you or I can say when exactly this madness is going to end. To quote yourself from nine years ago, tagesschau posted:The market can remain irrational longer than you can retain your sanity.

The only time I've cared about what's in my passport is when I've reached the utter depths of boredom on a longhaul flight and start leafing through the pages, and the memory of that only lasts until I reach my actual destination. I can't imagine actually giving a poo poo about this.

Somehow you can hear your phone buzzing through the cacophony and manage to grab at it and read: EMERGENCY ALERT / ALERTE D'URGENCE Massive 8.7 earthquake detected, residents are advised to live with it

Aces High posted:A friend of mine just returned from Japan, and she said they would make public announcements (presumably in the larger urban centres) as earthquakes were occurring. Like, she recorded a video of a public announcement and the shocks happening less than a minute later. Yeah I was too optimistic, the emergency alert in Canada would arrive an hour later after half your house collapsed.

COPE 27 posted:https://nationalpost.com/opinion/someone-in-charge-finally-needs-to-say-no-to-high-speed-rail/wcm/fcd914e6-c11c-428c-b619-0ffdf66af225/amp/ The article posted:Now imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth when HSR’s proponents discovered that it’s more expensive than flying. To the first point, I don't think anyone is under any illusions that HSR would naturally be cheaper than flying unless it were heavily subsidized à la the kind of trains you see in Europe. That said, trains are simply so much better than flying along the Windsor-Québec corridor: you can show up ten minutes before it leaves; no security queue; bigger seats and legroom; if you get business class from MTL to TOR it costs the same as an economy flight but you get a meal and drinks and you only spend an hour or so extra. The second point is unfortunately true given the dire state of the electorate in this country. I did enjoy the part where they lamented how small townships along the main CN rail line might have to pay to support this new infrastructure (for an unspecified amount because they have no actual numbers or data to present), and brought up the fast ferries in BC, something I hadn't thought about in like ten years. Good to know that Canada has a history of "boondoggles" when it comes to mass transit solutions, but nothing's wrong with all the highways we have in the country -- by implication we should really be spending more of our money on them, I guess.

DaysBefore posted:I emailed my city councillor once. He was very nice and got back to me right away. I guess I love voting now My city councillor is very engaged with "community outreach" insofar as he frequently posts on the neighbourhood FB groups, though it is very funny to see how many things are completely out of his hands, since I live near a long stretch of land owned by Parks Canada in the middle of Montréal.

In the last election I voted in, the candidate I chose won for the first time in my life. I'll take this as a sign that it's all downhill from here and I should never vote again.

Raenir Salazar posted:Went in for blood tests and they're like, "Did you fast?" and I'm like "No? Was I supposed to?" , and they're like it says so right here. *Points to French instructions that I can't read that I thought said "yellow", like testing for Yellow Blood Cells or something.* But when I was there the last time they only said not to eat sugar for today's blood tests. Luckily I intermittently fast anyways so by accident the answer was yes but to me it isn't fasting its just what I do. It's also where the "jeuner" in "déjeuner" comes from

Growing up in the states, my biggest interest in Canadian television came from learning that nearly every sci-fi show I watched as a kid was shot in Vancouver/BC. I ended up moving from the US to QC though and had to learn culture all over again. Still have no idea what Passe-Partout is all about

Fortunately the weather for Montréal has been predicting sunny skies so I could watch it from my front balcony, though I think I'm going to cycle south to get some extra time in totality, really want to soak it in.

In my part of Montréal there are just IGAs around, and I didn't realize until this conversation that they're a Sobeys joint in this province. I think the nearest Loblaws-owned place is the third-closest pharmacy, to get to an actual grocery store of theirs I'd need to take transit instead of walking. Not sure one of their stores has ever been the most convenient option in my near twenty years of living here in various neighbourhoods.
