As one of the original GBWBers, this makes me twice as sad
WB was there for me through a difficult move to Ottawa, through planning my wedding, trouble with my marriage, a loss, and pregnancy and birth of my daughter.
I've made lifelong friends here and for that alone, I am eternally grateful.
I love you all, especially my fellow mods and GBWBgirls.

I'm very torn about the law. On one hand, I'm all for it. Montrealers are known for staging the randomest protests (like every time the Habs lose or win the cup...) so if there's a way to stop the chaos and destruction that costs the city hundreds of thousands of dollars, I completely support it.
But on the other hand, it's against our democratic freedom.
So all that to say, I don't know

Quebec has the cheapest post secondary education in North America. Even with the increase, it's still dirt cheap. These entitled kids wearing the latest clothes and talking on their latest iphones, need to get a job to pay for their education or drop out.
When I was in University, if I missed more than X number of classes, I would fail the class. And if I failed X number of classes, you would be expelled. All these spoiled brats should be expelled IMO.
I have no sympathy and they are costing a city which survives on their summer tourism Millions and Millions of dollars. The US has put a travel advisory against Montreal!!!

I'm smaller than you, 4'11" and 99lbs and OldNavy XS or 0 fits me. I've also had luck at Rickis and Banana Republic. Laura Petites sometimes has cute, young looking stuff.
I'm also a big fan of tailoring regular sized clothes if they don't fit quite right.
Good luck!

I had a section as my baby was breech. I was supposed to have a vaginal breech birth but there is a lack of training for midwives and OBs for them.
Recovery was rough. I couldn't sit up on my own or get into bed for about 4 weeks. Even now, 8.5 months later, I have a hard time doing a sit up or getting up from a crouch position because my abs are pretty weak still. But according to my midwives and a subsequent gyno visit, I healed beautifully.

Rant ahead:
We're moving in about 6 weeks. I've started packing and purging. Slowly. DH rented a storage locker this weekend to help us. He's so FREAKING excited about it (he's a Storage War fan) he's been bringing random crap there. He was up until 3AM taking random furniture out of my living room (coffee table, table that held my plant (no idea where said plant is!) and the unit that holds (held?) the DVD player and cable box) and put whatever was stored on it (papers, books, random stuff) ON MY FLOOR. Not in boxes. Urgh. I'm pissed. I have a cleaning lady coming at 9, and a crawling baby. And before having my coffee, I have to clean the mess and put stuff in random boxes instead of organized ones.
It's too early to put Bailey's in my coffee, right?

I don't spend much money on my clothes and what I usually wear is jeans and a black top. So I express myself through my purses.
I used to work at a purse & luggage distributor and I now only buy higher end stuff. One of my faves is a Canadian designer Chris.toper K.on (google his stuff, it's gorgeous) but I also have a few coach.
The most I've spent? $500 I think

DD had it. We also had it lasered off. My brother had a huge gap in between his 2 front teeth and had his frenum clipped when he was 10years old, so I'm happy we got it done early.

I love Montreal and would move back in a heartbeat. I never had issues finding jobs, however I do speak French.
I always lived in the West Island (my parents currently live in Dor.val close to the water and I love their place)
I agree with Kalua that the job situation is very dependant on your field. And as per housing costs, I would be able to afford a much larger house in the WI then I can in Ottawa
