Help downtown: Plante on TLMEP
The mayor was on Tout le monde en parle Sunday evening, and spoke about the need to help downtown recover, about homeless shelters and keeping parks open so we have somewhere we can walk and get some air. TVA noted on the weekend how crowded the parks have been.
Update: As noted in the comments, police closed the parking on Mount Royal Monday afternoon because the park was too crowded for social distancing.

Are we back to park-shaming people who want to leave their apartments on a beautiful day?

(In case it isn’t clear, that’s a rhetorical question, not a comment on Kate’s post or the TVA article.)

Plants asked people to go to their local parks instead of the popular ones like Mont-Royal.

Would be nice if they forced the cemetery to be open to the public as well. Ultimate dog in the manger that it is closed on a Sunday on a holiday long weekend.

They closed parking at the mountain but luckily you can still go to much safer crowded malls.

My local park has been jammed for the past two days, probably because La Presse featured it in a photo essay a few days ago. But I don’t really mind sharing. That said, I got my revenge today by going to Île Ste-Helene, which was busy but not crazy.
