People whose lives are messed up by the REM

Radio-Canada talks to several people whose lives are about to be shaken up by the closure of the Mount Royal tunnel and the loss of the Deux-Montagnes line for three years. Although the man who’s retiring because it’s too hard to get from Canora to Central Station any other way is older, frankly, there are other ways to do that which aren’t so terrible. The folks stranded in distant suburbs are in deeper trouble.

In other news, TVA has a mildly clickbaity headline here with Pont Samuel-De Champlain: où sont les travailleurs du REM? but the answer is simply that various agreements are about to be signed before workers can get to the job of running the line across the new bridge.
