The good weather forecast for Monday has seen a bump in tourism, with hotels being booked and people flooding into town.
In a small local bakery just now I overheard some elderly anglos telling the staff they first came here for Expo 67 and they’re visiting now for the eclipse.

Sunday morning, a man was stabbed somewhere near the Met in St‑Léonard then dumped at a hospital, although this piece doesn’t say which one, and the incident is not elucidated. TVA is no more forthcoming with the details.

People in Lachine and Dorval are worried about shoreline erosion but the boroughs can’t get Quebec’s permission to remediate.

Lachine should dub its project the Northvolt Path. Environment ministry approval will be immediate, incredibly favourable to the borough and exempt the work from close environmental monitoring.

CBC has a what you need to know about the eclipse.
Jean-Drapeau park is preparing for thousands of visitors.
Some information from the Planetarium.
Stéphane Laporte has an exclusive interview with the eclipse.

That CBC article had everything but the one thing I was wondering about – where in the sky will the sun be tomorrow during eclipse. Does anyone know?
MarcG
Look to see where it is right now and that’s about right.

I also noticed the lack of info on that point, Joey. The sun will be quite high but tending toward what we Montrealers call the “south” side. Anyone looking over the St Lawrence from Montreal island will be in the right direction. The Mount Royal lookout – the one that looks out over downtown – would be ideal, but I expect it will be packed.
Joey
MarcG, that’s what I did!

It’ll be behind the moon and will be hard to see!

Joey, I found this at timeanddate.com – hover over the sun icon, move it to the time you want which is displayed under it on the left. You’ll get the altitude of the sun, and the degree of and the suns’s direction in the sky. Pretty much SW for the duration of the eclipse. https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/canada/montreal
