wtf.

What a zoo. It's weird to see a situation like that in what looks like a high end building with high rents.

FWIW I have heard rumours of similar behaviour at the Glasshouse condos here in Winnipeg. Maybe not quite as extreme as Ice, but similar Airbnb-related misbehaviour plus who knows what else. It is also a relatively nice and new tower. I can imagine that Airbnb must be a curse for people who live in condos, particularly those in central, downtown areas.

Some images of Ottawa during this weekend's (and continuing) truck convoy.

Those are canadians that you happen to disagree with.

Great view of the mighty east coast metropolis... I love that angle, and the fog just adds a certain something.

That guy who took that great wintery Montreal aerial also took some other interesting shots:

Oh wow, mega eye candy. I'll be staring at those for a while...

Don't know which thread to put this in. Hey, Quebeckers (or anyone, actually): what's your favourite city outside of Montreal and Quebec City in Quebec, and why?

I haven't spent much time in any of them, but I liked the looks and feel of Trois-Rivieres and Sherbrooke when I went through them.

Rico Rommheim · #**18978** Posted **Feb 1, 2022, 8:43 PM**

Last year I explored Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres, Riviere-du-Loup and Shawinigan in the same month. All those cities were solidly urban, full of rowhouses and bulky downtown. Trois-Rivieres was the winner for me (even though I was rooting for Sherbrooke), for some reason it seems more compact and cohesive as a unit. Rviere-du-loup was also a pleasant surprise. Shawinigan was basically the borough of Lachine set in the middle of a giant forest and perched on a giant waterfall. But so far, I'm going with T-R.

Sherbrooke has a nicer setting then T-R though, don't you think? I like the big hills going down toward the river.

Quebec City would've looked so much better without those concrete bunker-like talls. For the taller structures, only Chateau de Frontenac and Hotel Clarendon fit this old city, IMO.
