Every post from Reddit, newest first.
Someone just found out the old house they always wondered about is over 300 years old—and now it's getting torn down. Locals are sad to see it go.
A car caught fire in Marconi Alexandra on Saturday afternoon. Emergency services responded to the scene.
A Montreal artist is painting the city's back alleys from life, plein air style. Just starting out but already mapping favourite spots around town, hoping to cover way more of the city's hidden corners.
The new city administration has discontinued the Bienvenue bébé box, a welcome gift given to newborns and their families in Montréal. The box included local goodies, museum passes, and references to First Nations history. Parents who got theirs before the cutoff are glad they did — future babies in the city are missing out.
Someone shared an authentic film-photo of Montreal from September years back—no AI, just actual late-summer vibes and a reminder that real Montreal looks pretty good on its own.
Someone asking if those are fireworks rn. Given Montreal's fireworks festival is running all summer, probably yeah. The 40th-anniversary shows have been lighting up weekends since June.
Someone posted about the garden near the Jean-Talon market and honestly? They're right. It changes every week, it's clearly thought out with care, and the gardeners who maintain it deserve all the appreciation. Locals are calling it a living work of art.
A petition to keep Lachine's planned open-water swimming pool on track just hit Reddit and it's getting attention. Turns out there's been debate about the project, but not everyone knew a petition was up—you have to live in Lachine to sign it though.
heated arguments over Tennis Canada's expansion at Parc Jarry, but one resident points out there's tons of unused space in the park's centre — and the new green space at the southwest corner might actually get used more.
University of Montreal's Carabins team just swept gold at the FISU Americas Championships. Big momentum heading into the year.
Someone's been tagging the Plateau and Rosemont with anti-AI messages—looks like the same artist hitting up the whole neighborhood. Thought-provoking stuff, at least more interesting than the usual tags.
Tennis Canada wants $200 million in public funding for a 15,000-seat stadium for one annual event—locals questioning if that's the right use of taxpayer money when it could go directly into community sports programs instead.
A visitor asking Reddit for help: girlfriend loves plants, doesn't want a public proposal, so where on the Botanical Gardens campus can you actually pop the question without a crowd? Sounds like a genuinely sweet problem to have.
Summer vibes, golden light, the city looking stupidly beautiful. That's it. That's the post. Just Montréal being Montréal.
A Harry Potter drone show is supposedly hitting the Vieux-Port next month, but Reddit's split on whether it's legit. People have gotten burned by fake drone spectacles before. One poster's worried because the venue has no way to block sightlines — anyone could just show up to watch from the harbour. Worth waiting to see if tickets actually deliver.
The Cinéma Banque Scotia downtown has the only IMAX 70mm projector in the province — and it's down. No word yet on when it's fixed. If you were hoping to catch a film in that format, you're stuck waiting.
Reddit's asking where to get the most quality and quantity for your money — massive portions, hidden gems, crazy cheap combos that actually taste good. The thread's blowing up with real answers.
The government ordered the closure of three École Communautaire Belz campuses, citing issues with teacher qualifications, curriculum compliance, and building safety standards.
Someone posted asking where Montreal lovers go when they need to escape the light pollution and actually see stars. The replies are real — people are genuinely burned out on the sprawl.
Graffiti protesting the new stadium project at Parc Jarry got scrubbed away after just one day. The quick cleanup has locals asking why the city moves so fast when Tennis Canada's involved.
