When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

But throughout most of the 20th century, you could find downhill ski runs on and around Mount Royal, complete with tow ropes, T-bars and even a 100-ft long ski jump!

How has snow clearing changed throughout Montreal's history? 23:14

منذ 19 يومًا23:14

23:14

When Montreal gets walloped with snow like it just did, it takes days to get the streets and sidewalks cleared. A century ago some streets just didn’t get cleared at all. From horse-drawn plows to the snowblowers, plows and trucks we use today, we’ll look at how snow clearing has evolved in Montreal. And we’ll hear from some Montreal researchers who are working to design the snow removal of the future using artificial intelligence.…

Will Quebecers still buy electric cars if they have to pay full price? 20:48

منذ 26 يومًا20:48

20:48

As of this month, if you buy an electric car in Quebec, you’ll be paying for it entirely out of your own pocket. The federal rebate program for electric vehicles has ended early and the Quebec program is on pause until April, before being phased out in 2027. Both Quebec and Canada have goals to eliminate the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035. But with less subsidy money on the table and with all the economic uncertainty of U.S. tariff threats, can we still meet that goal?…

Why is rent going up so much? 19:22

منذ 5 weeks19:22

19:22

Every year Quebec’s housing tribunal, known in French as the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), releases a set of calculations to help landlords and tenants figure out how much rent should increase. This year it recommended 5.9 per cent for an unheated apartment — the largest increase in at least 30 years. So how does the TAL come up with this number? We’ll look at how the rental increase formula works, and hear why both tenants and landlords seem to want it to change.…

What needs to change in Quebec schools? 48:11

منذ 6 weeks48:11

48:11

In October, the Education Ministry published a report alleging that a group of teachers at an elementary school in Côte-des-Neiges had for years created a toxic atmosphere. That led to a series of investigations into other schools. In the wake of those events, about 30 Montrealers gathered at the Maison des Jeunes in Côte-des-Neiges, for a conversation with CBC host Nantali Indongo about the state of our schools. In this episode, we’ll hear from some of those students, parents, teachers, administrators, community organizers and researchers, about their experiences in the Quebec education system and what they think needs to change.…
