Saw them at least back in August. Considering I was flying to PDX it was kind of lol

I must have just not noticed them when I was there in August.

I'd suggest a FAP at some point but epidemiological conditions aren't exactly ideal at the moment. Something to keep in mind for the future, however.

Pas cool, Valérie.

- The police operating budget in 2021 will be $679 million, an increase of just under $15 million from last year.

- The budget for housing, including funding for the city's goal to create 12,000 affordable and social housing units by 2021, will be $140.5 million, down nearly $13 million from last year.

A group of suspects would hold dozens of people hostage, Friday afternoon, in Montreal, in a building that houses the premises of the Ubisoft company, on Saint-Laurent Boulevard.

wtf

wtf

yikes. news is very unclear so far

One of my friends works like a block from there, in a building where Ubisoft also has offices. Thankfully the hostage situation seems to be limited to a single building but reports of a ‘group’ of suspects are hardly comforting.

Suspects reportedly asking for $$$. To be confirmed.

scary stuff

For all I know it could all be a hoax, nothing had been 100% confirmed so far.

Well aside from the fact that it’s being treated as a potentially dangerous situation.

fuck the postmillennial that's alt right bullshit

but the images of people on the roof don't particularly evoke hostages so far; i think it's premature to assume they are.

i have a friend inside who says there's lots of police and he's safe

i'm two blocks away, my son's daycare is less than a block away. :( i know s1ocki is nearby too

let's wait and see :(

s1ocki has tweeted that they're staying put inside their office which sounds like they're safe

appreciate that that is a somewhat informative link but that's an alt-right website

Yeah it seems there isn’t much information atm from official sources, hope for a fast and peaceful resolution.

sorry was by a friend of mine who works there and is in the story

I'll ask a mod to delete I had no idea

er linked by a friend who works there and is thankfully working from home

TVA says they got swatted. Also to be confirmed.

might be useful for non-locals:

Something is going down at the Ubisoft building in Montreal / Mile End, but a few pointers for people looking for info or trying to share info:
- news outlets to check include TVA, Journal de Montréal, CBC, CTV, CJAD, Radio-Canada as they appear to all have people there.

Swatting a video game studio is pure 4channery.

I guess that's the best case scenario really, but uggggh

this seems to be updating fairly frequently (in french) and the latest update has people peacefully being evacuated

llooks like all of the sites now saying it was a hoax so uhh i guess that's better than the worst case scenario but fuck this

what the fuck

Hope you guys are OK

My ex lives right around the corner and he said he's had to stay inside all afternoon and the helicopters are insane

Whoever made this hoax as a lot to answer for.

whoever made assassins creed has a lot to answer for so fuck u

can we just ban this sort of behavior?

what's this now?

I don’t want really think it’s okay to be told ‘fuck you’ for having feared so much for some of my closest friends.

I'm confused, what the hell just happened here?

Salmon wrote that in response to us being scared of that terrorism scam at Ubisoft back in Novembre.

What a weird thing to post a month after the fact.

The curfew affects us all differently.

Fields,have a sour beer and relax.

Oh hey, I was gonna say: I actually tried a sour beer and I'm totally hooked. There are some fantastic ones available.

Nice. Which one did you have?

I think I've tried most of the sours available. Brasserie Shelton alone has four or five different ones.

It all started with a can of « La Poudre jaune » (by Lagabière) on a very hot day last summer. Couldn't believe how much flavour it had for only 3.5% alcohol. I'm pretty much obsessed with trying them all now.

I haven't had any since I moved back. As soon as Dry January ends, I'll give La Poudre jaune a shot – I'm generally a fan of Lagabière.
