TVA reports that praying was tolerated Saturday morning at Trudeau airport. The airport has a prayer room but it isn’t accessible from international departures, so a group of Muslims asked for a little space, put down a carpet, and did their salah right there. TVA got a disobliging comment from a Parti Québécois MNA but it isn’t otherwise obvious why this was considered news.
Uatu
As if anyone noticed. Everyone’s face is buried in their phone lol

I don’t know when some Québécois are going to realize that because they share a collective memory of a time when religion dominated this society, it doesn’t mean that anytime somebody performs a religious observance, it’s a potential threat.

Académie de Roberval is a big school building located behind Jean‑Talon hospital in Villeray. It’s been boarded up for years, so students who are nominally enrolled there have been going to classes – sometimes in cramped windowless classrooms – at Georges‑Vanier high school instead. Many will graduate never having set foot in their school, and they’d like something more than empty promises that it will be revived.

Most of the metro system was down for more than an hour Sunday morning, but it was back before 7 – and this following after a long shutdown on Friday.
Sunday’s outage was blamed on the computer system. I wonder how old the metro computers are, and what OS they’re running.

Cobol haha
Srsly though I remember there was a big upgrade from NT some years back so I assume Windows whatever. I’m sure they’re out of date but for control systems that’s not always a bad thing as stability is key, and they basically do the same thing all day every day. It’s the same reason there really is so much cobol still in use.
