It's snowing fluff in NDG — allergies are going wild and there's so much pollen one batch even started a small fire near the Rona on Sherbrooke. June weather, allergies peak.

Someone in Hochelaga near Dickson heard what sounded like a short but intense explosion around 2am. If you heard it too, Reddit's wondering what it was.
The poplar trees are going wild this year—piles of white fluff coating everything like June snow. It's not allergenic, but it's genuinely intense.

The new Vampire the Masquerade game is set right here in the city. Reddit's already hyped about how the developers are depicting Montreal.
