    Why does Montreal celebrate Pride in August instead of June?

    June is Pride Month, especially in the U.S. Montreal’s Pride festivities are in August, but this wasn’t always the case. We’ll hear from Montrealers who had a hand in organizing Pride at various times in its history and hear how, in each era, the 2SLGBTQ+ community channeled political and social struggle into the movement of protest and celebration that we know today.

    Where did all these wild turkeys come from?

    From Verdun to Rosemont to NDG, it seems like wild turkeys have been popping up all over Montreal in recent years. They’ve spurred a lot of curiosity and even delight from Montrealers, but we have seen some human-turkey conflict arise. We’ll hear about what life is like for a big bird in the big city, and how we can get along without ruffling any feathers.

    Why did the Montreal melon disappear?

    Ribbed like a pumpkin, but with a spiderweb exterior like a cantaloupe, the Montreal melon was a wildly popular fruit in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It graced the dining tables of the finest U.S. hotels and was literally fit for a king. It was cultivated by local producers, particularly in Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, but it all but vanished by the 1950s. We’ll hear about efforts to revive the Montreal melon, and why some say it’s overdue for a comeback.

    What’s a tiny forest?

    As we heard last week, it’s not always easy to find spaces to plant trees in a city. That’s where tiny forests come in. What started in Japan has become a worldwide movement to plant densely-packed pockets of vegetation in cities, including Montreal. CBC reporter Ben Shingler shares his documentary.

    Why do we plant big trees under power lines?

    Big ice storms, pests, drought: there are lots of threats facing urban trees. In a special two-part episode, one Montrealer asks how the city is making sure our trees can withstand climate change…and won’t take out power lines when they fall. And a Pincourt school bus driver asks what’s happening with all the trees being cut down for the new Île-aux-Tourtes bridge?

    What happens when you flush a toilet in Montreal?

    This question came from a 9-year-old boy who is curious about our sewer system, so you’d better believe we took him and his dad on a field trip to Montreal’s wastewater treatment plant! We find out what happens to the water we use and what we can do to make it cleaner before we send it back into the environment.

    Why does Montreal have so many potholes?

    Teeth-rattling, rim-shattering, hub-cap-catapulting potholes seem to be everywhere you turn in Montreal. Sometimes they lurk underneath puddles, just waiting to throw you off your bike, or damage your car. So why are there so many, and why do they keep coming back? We’ll dig beneath the surface to find out.

    Where do the profits from Loto-Québec go?

    If you’ve ever bought a lottery ticket or placed a bet at a Quebec casino, you may have wondered where that money ends up. How much of the money that Montrealers gamble ends up invested back into services that they use? Turns out there are limits to how far we can follow the dollars. We’ll talk about how our system stacks up with some other jurisdictions.
