Political will is aligning behind a transit project that would link Montreal and its northern suburbs. The mayors of Laval, Montréal-Est and the North Shore municipalities of Terrebonne, Mascouche and Repentigny are now calling for a new line connecting their cities to Montreal's East End, including direct connections to the blue and green lines of the Montreal metro.
If you hear faint explosions or feel the ground vibrate under your feet this week, don't worry, it's probably not a hoard of ladybug lookalikes attacking the city Godzilla-style (even if those damned things are everywhere). Between October 26 and 31, the military is setting up around-the-clock operations on some of the islands between Montreal and the South Shore.
