The STM maintenance workers called off their strike Tuesday night—six hours before the labour minister could force them back. Relief swept through the city as buses and metros rolled out, but nobody's celebrating yet: A shutdown from bus drivers and metro operators is still on the table, and the labour tribunal hasn't issued its ruling on service levels.
Feels more like a breath held than a problem solved.
Meanwhile, Montreal's been busy reviving things we thought were gone for good: Wünderbar opened as the city's first proper German beer hall in 30 years; CKUT hit 38 years of scrappy community radio; Pasta Casareccia marks 40 years in NDG with the same lasagna recipe.
And then there's what we're letting slip away! We looked back on the Empress Theatre, empty for 33 years. Sonder, the Montreal-born unicorn that collapsed in days after never turning a profit. The ugly Christmas tree we mocked, loved, then abandoned—now the subject of a petition we started to bring it back as tradition.
