An ode to circumstance If the -40 weather doesn’t get you, if the +40 weather doesn’t get you, if the mafia doesn’t get you, if the police doesn’t get you, if the drug addicts don’t get you, if the puppy mill girls don’t get you, if the potholes don’t get you, if the sinkholes don’t get you, if the collapsing facades don’t get you, if the...

Sweet Canadian news story of the day! A penguin celebrates its 33rd birthday at Montreal’s Biodome. CBC Montreal reports… Our favourite moment: the little boy who didn’t want the frozen fish cake for his own birthday.

Marie-Antoinette's Mile-End Apparel Mixer

The Hameau de la Reine was a corner of the Versailles castle where Marie-Antoinette, Queen of France, could pretend to be a peasant. And so it is at the “clothing swap” meets organized by the Xchange Collective! Forget boxes of jumbled, moth-bitten polyester sweaters being foraged through by indigents under the watchful eye of church-going dowagers hoping to make a quick buck. The...

Multiple nations under God or Gods that may or may...

Oh these sons and daughters of the Loyalists, so often much more American than they care to admit. According to the National Post, singing O Canada is now mandatory at Toronto Catholic schools. Fuck Yeah Quebec believes that children should go to public schools to learn, not to be indoctrinated, and that singing the national anthem should an act of voluntary pride, not coerced. True patriotism in...

Montreal is thoroughly and intensely historical - the incredible diversity of communities that have passed through this space, and the multi-faceted and multi-leveled celebrations, cooperations and conflicts between them, mean that our cultural heritage is surprisingly deep considering the relatively short history of our city. Enjoy this profound account by Third Solitude of a relatively...

Reblogging from thadnshit: …what is there to do in Montreal? Lemme know Hi Thadnshit, we looked at your Tumblr and we think you have a Montreal vibe. Anyway, to answer your question: Drink good wine, enjoy incredible festivals, eat fantastic food, have sex. Montreal is more about enjoying the atmosphere… the city and its neighbourhoods. It’s not the kind of place you go to with a...

Fuck Yeah Unprintable Names!

Thank you Montreal Mirror! This recommendation was published in the April 5, 2012 edition. Fuck Yeah Quebec doesn’t pretend to be a public service. It’s just a Tumblr blog that presents opinionated little blurbs about why Rosemont is the last stop on the road to oblivion, how a Citroën DS parked on the Belvedere encapsulates everything right about Montreal in the 1960s, including a brand-new...

Les Justiciers urbains present Quebec's...

Have you ever heard of the Justiciers urbains? Their blog, just like FuckYeahQuebec.com, is all about celebrating the reasons why Montreal is a fantastic city. They’re probably nicer than we are though, and their blog goes into a few subjects of local interest that FYQ doesn’t really touch (e.g. borough politics). If you can read French, you should definitely check them out. Anyway,...
