“Sign of the times.” Outside an office building in downtown Montreal, a sign on the pavement forbidding smoking- of any kind. Cannabis has been legal in Canada since 2018 but this is the first multi-purpose “No smoking” sign I’ve seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u-FquAoyXs

Not a political statement. These are signs at the local “pick your own” orchard and are varieties of apple.

Evening shadows and lines, outside 1000 de la Gauchetière. There is a dispute whether it is Montreal's tallest building as there is another skyscraper that is taller but only if the height of an antenna is included. Built in 1992 it has 51 floors and houses, among other things, an ice skating rink and a major bus terminal.

Getting around in the snow. An ATV with snow tracks, Park St Bruno. I think it looks like rather more fun that it's fair for someone to have at work.

Anarchist "Zone d'Autonomie Temporaire." After the Climate March protest (Montreal Sept 27th). As the sun began to sink the anarchists got together to cover their faces with bandanas, make some noise, breath fire, and, in general, anarchize.

"This is the Lorax/ He cares for the trees/ Stop F--ing the planet/ And killing the bees." From the Climate March Montreal 27th Sept when Greta Thurnberg visited town. About 500,000 people turned out. I wasn’t there (on account of the “toad” called work) but passed by later to see the aftermath.

From the Climate March Montreal 27th Sept when Greta Thurnberg visited town. About 500,000 people turned out. I wasn’t there (on account of the “toad” called work) but passed by later to see the aftermath. This catchy placard was on display at the Anarchist's camp. ("All Progress in Agriculture is progress in the art of not only robbing the labourer but robbing the soil- Marx")

This is called "the secret bench of knowledge" (Lea Vivot). Coated in ice, they aren't dressed for the cold!
