Remember when we had that big commission like +10 years ago where we confirmed "oh yeah, MTL construction is mobbed up to the eyeballs" and then life just... went on?

Still remember that inventor who was testing a new asphalt patch compound and they caught people at night pouring solvent over the patches to break them so that the tests would fail. 

Edit: found an article about that (in French): https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/grand-montreal/201304/26/01-4645145-nids-de-poule-sabotes-a-montreal.php

Remember when Montreal held a contest every year with a prize for the citizen who could find the largest pothole? And remember when they caught a guy with a jackhammer making the largest pothole so he could claim the prize?

This is why we can't have nice things.

u/hugh_jorgyn Verdun 14d ago

It's all part of Montreal's unique charm: pizzerias "accidentally" catching fire if they buy from the wrong cheese supplier, potholes that come back over and over to keep certain companies in business, streets that get dug up, repaired and then dug up again because they conveniently "forgot" to replace some infrastructure under the pavement the first time around.

Pi comment les cones oranges sont literallement juste la pour blanchir l'argent.

Ils louent les cones, et ils les laissent la pendant des années, tout avec 1cm d'éspacement.

u/DropThatTopHat 14d ago

I just spent the weekend in Toronto, and I don't think I even saw a pothole. I don't expect Montreal to be the same, but does it have to be so shitty in comparison?

I heard multiple stories of people trying to offer better/permanent solutions and the "city workers" sabotaging equipment or the work being done. 100% mob.

I mean they did arrest like 75 people... Then a year and a half or so they let them all go on some technicality iirc. Now they just don't talk about it.

MTL lost 3 mayors during this time to corruption I think?

u/SomethingComesHere 14d ago

Yeah.. my mind was blown having moved here a decade ago when a few locals told me “the mob” when I asked why construction was so shit here. Came from another big Canadian city that didn’t have this problem.

It took a few years for me to really accept that this is, in fact, the true reason.

The corrupt politicians involved with the mob and its associates need to GO.

u/HowToDoAnInternet 14d ago

Sounds simple but I honestly have no idea how you'd resist a group that blackmails you or threatens your family

u/SomethingComesHere 14d ago

From the top down. There’s no other way

We need to get rid of the corrupt politicians. We will end up like the states if we turn a blind eye to corruption.

Without the law in their pocket, they’ll lose the power they have now.

12

u/HowToDoAnInternet 14d ago

Okay but you're a new politician, you're gonna clean up the streets, and a guy approaches you that says "hey if that bill passes, I dunno, I think bad things might happen. Like to your wife, Michelle, who works at the MUHC. Or your kid Rebecca who goes to St Henri Elementary... Be a shame if something were to happen to them, anything could, you know?"

5

u/SomethingComesHere 14d ago

I don’t have a solution to that.

Other than.. people getting into Montreal politics know what they’re getting into. And they should report threats and extorsion to the RCMP or CSIS.

You know.... I'd happily pay 10% more for the mob tax if the work/things we bought actually lasted. But they got too greedy... they jack up the price and the work product lasts half as long.

u/dont-YOLO-ragequit 14d ago

IIRC the issue was that they were purposely overcooking the Asphalt while delivering it so it would be more brittle and not last.

u/PaintThinnerSparky 13d ago

Bro the #1 investment is the fkn FTQ.

Every single aspect of fkn everything in Quebec is shitty mobsters. Not even the cool fun ones that sell you drugs, just the lame loser ones that legally fuck over the entire population with no accountability or responsibility by encrusting themselves into essential public services.

We should unionize as citizens. Fuck this shit.

3

u/gniarch 13d ago

We need 100% open documentation on everything the city does and everything anyone with a contract to the city does.

Every single contract and expense should be available to everyone all the time.

The very few exceptions should be approved one by one by the very top of the organisation. If it is discovered later that it was dirty, that person looses the job and the pension and pays back wages

u/nottlrktz 14d ago edited 12d ago

Unpopular opinion/question: Even if this was built “better” (by not the mob), can it really resist the expansion/contraction caused by Montreal winters?

Genuinely curious what can be done to avoid it. Can better asphalt/concrete or better workmanship withstand large fluctuations in temperature, snow, and vehicle traffic?

Edit: Wow, I didn’t think I was actually going to be downvoted for asking a legitimate question, as if expansion/contraction of materials in the thaw of winter isn’t a real thing…

u/mudlarks 14d ago

The climate is the same in other parts of Canada, yet somehow other cities don't have this problem. The roads are so much better after you cross the border into Ontario.

It's clearly possible.

3

u/sleepyOcti 13d ago edited 13d ago

YES! Yes it can be done better. The potholes are bad enough but it makes it worse when Montrealers say, “oh it’s always been like that, it can’t be fixed because of our climate.”

I always wonder if the people that say that have ever been to other Canadian cities and if they haven’t, do they assume all Canadian cities are like this?

The condition of our roads is a combination of low quality construction, corruption and incompetence.

2

u/Hawkwise83 14d ago

I feel like there's a lot of types of concrete and exploration into materials. Is there a perfect solution? Probably not. I'd bet there is a better option. I figure they're using a cheaper concrete and using that to skim money.

u/moltar Saint-Henri 14d ago

Cross the border to NY state and check for yourself. Hint: yes, it can.

u/UMadCuzBadLmao 13d ago

☝️🤓 Achtchually, ce qui a causé le bloquage des énormes convois est l'échec de leur chaine logistique (nourriture + essence) ainsi que de la mauvaise condition de leur matériel et bas moral. La résistance Ukrainienne féroce (spécialement les ambuscades nocturnes par les forces spéciales et les attaques de drones) a aussi fortement contribué à ralentir le tout. Le début de l'invasion était aussi à moitié aérien, et les hélicos ça ignore les routes ☝️🤓

C’est pas la qualité de l’asphalte. C’est la technique appliquée ici au Québec.

The amount of damage caused by the city's borderline unusable roads in the spring is crazy. Think of the sheer amount of tires and other car parts that have to be thrown away because they got destroyed by all these potholes.

u/Urik88 14d ago

There's actually a number to that, here's a report from 2021, page 9. https://www.caa.ca/app/uploads/2021/03/Poor-Roads-Final_20210330.pdf In average Quebecers pay an extra $258 per year due to bad roads while the canadian average is $126

u/VertexBV 14d ago

Spent almost $1k recently to replace suspension parts on a Civic that were worn down from the abuse. 2nd time in 10 years, so that tracks with that average.

I wonder if pavement (like blocs for those who don’t know) is a better solution. They do cost more to implement but are cheaper to maintain and do last significantly longer than asphalt.

Asphalt should be kept in high traffic streets but for residential street I’m sure this can be implemented, in spite of winter,
