Montréal Q&A

I'll be flying YUL-MEX on Aeromexico this winter and I'm just wondering how far in advance I need to arrive at the airport. I've travelled often and I don't have checked luggage. My ticket says I have access to the fast-track security lanes, so I assume I won't spend more than 15 min in line. Do I really need to arrive 3 hours ahead of time?

I have a 9am appointment and I'm wondering if I'll be able to park.

I was walking through Angrignon Park during the day and saw a fox that looked sick. It had mange and seemed to be in bad shape. I'm looking for a service that can help the fox, possibly a wildlife organization in Montreal.

I live in a typical semi-detached in Bois Franc. My room is in an internet dead spot due to my Bell router being in my basement. I have Ethernet ports spread across my house. I cannot find where they lead to.

I'm trying to figure out how urgently my landlord is required to address the heating issue in my apartment. Temperatures aren't below zero yet, but the apartment can't get above 19 degrees. We've been relying on space heaters, but the electrical circuits can't handle them consistently and have been tripping. The caretaker bled our radiators, but confirmed that no heat is actually reaching them, and only one of four furnaces is functioning for the building's heating/hot water system.

I'm going through a serious burnout and my body is starting to show it physically. Symptoms include chest tightness, heart palpitations, left arm pain, ear ringing, extreme fatigue, and some depressive episodes. I called 811 and they said stress-related but to follow up with a doctor urgently. My family doctor has no availability until November. I can't wait that long.

My friends and I want to start a winter running challenge, a 30K run. I know it's crazy, but we're not looking for running advice. We want to know what gear to wear for winter running in Montreal. Specifically, what kind of shoes, clothing, and accessories do you use?

I run a small taco stand in Montreal and I desperately need a hair cut but I'm also really protective/nervous about hair cuts. I'd like to see someone that knows how to cut long hair and do things like wolf cuts but some of the prices are staggering and I'm really nervous about my hair being messed up.

I'm 23, I've lived on the north shore of Montreal my whole life, but I'm starting to feel like I'm missing out on things. I've got some friends here, but they're all busy with their own lives and I feel like I'm really alone. I've been trying to make new friends, but it's hard when everyone is in their own little bubble. I've got some friends in my neighborhood, but they're all families with kids, and I'm not really interested in that scene. I'm thinking of moving to Montreal proper in a year or so when I finish my program, and I'm wondering if it's easier to have a social life there. I see all these cool clubs and groups on social media, but they're all in Montreal and it's hard to justify traveling out there just to meet new people. Has anyone else made a similar move and found it easier to meet new people in Montreal?

I'm an international graduate student in Polytechnique Montréal thinking about getting pregnant. I have private group health insurance through my university, but I'm not sure how the process works here in Canada/Quebec, or how to find a doctor to follow the pregnancy with and have the expenses covered by my insurance.

I'm looking after a friend's 7-year-old and want to get her some reading for the weekend.

I've recently taken up crochet and want to donate handmade items to patients in Montreal. I've heard of some charities in other provinces, but I'd prefer to keep it local and simple. I'm looking for recommendations on charities that have clear guidelines on what to make and what to avoid.

I was on the green line heading towards Honoré Beaugrand and the metro didn't stop at Berri Uqam, no announcement was made. Has anyone else experienced this before? Do you know why this happens?

My wife and I rented an Air BnB in the Village and admittedly didn’t do enough research. It’s rougher here than we thought it would be.

I'm looking for a center or activity where I can enroll my 6-year-old autistic child. I've done some research online, but it's always better to ask people. I'm worried that the educator might find it challenging to manage the child since they don't listen to directives.

I'm organizing a rather niche event for Halloween, with a target audience of people who are into anime or more geeky things. I'd like to reach younger people, geeks, students, etc. without breaking the bank.

I was walking with my kids in Little Italy and noticed a camera on the corner of Everett and Pie-IX. It's on the same pole as the traffic lights and I'm wondering if it's one of those flock type cameras from Genetec that the SPVM uses.

I'm at the last leg of my autumn Québec trip and I have to leave Charlevoix tomorrow to return my rental car to Montréal downtown. I'd love to enjoy the autumn foliage on the way back to Montréal and take some pictures. I'm also looking for authentic maple syrup to buy, preferably in bottles, not cans. Any recommendations would be great!

I'm trying to decide how much to tip for food delivery, and I've heard some people never tip and others give a few bucks or a standard percentage.

My partner and I want to have a very small wedding, just for our parents and us. We don't need anything fancy. Do you know of a small, affordable venue in Montreal where we can hold the ceremony? I've seen all the big wedding halls online, but I'm not sure if there's a place that can accommodate just 10 people or less.
