Public washrooms are few and far between in Canada. When nature calls, it's often a scramble to find a coffee shop or mall restroom that's accessible. In Montreal this is certainly the case, but it wasn't always so. The city used to boast a decent network of public washrooms, constructed before the Second World War. Where did they go? And why, to this day, do we have so few public washrooms in Canada? On this week's Storylines, CBC Montreal's Ainslie MacLellan uncovers the answers.This episode is from the CBC Podcast Good Question, Montreal where every week Ainslie MacLellan takes a question about Montreal from a Montrealer, and then does whatever it takes to answer the question. Reported by Ainslie MacLellan.

Unions in Quebec have united for one of the largest strikes in Canadian history, with more than 6% of Quebec's population currently on strike. Is the public blaming unions or Premier François Legault for widespread school closures and delays in healthcare? How does the unions' “Common Front” moniker invoke Quebec's deep history of labour solidarity? If deals aren't reached soon, how long could strikes continue? CBC Montreal journalist Jennifer Yoon explains.

For a year and a half, almost 50,000 migrants had walked into Canada via Quebec's Roxham Road to seek asylum. Then, at midnight on the morning of March 25th, Roxham Road – and the immigration loophole that made it a famous irregular border crossing – effectively closed. CBC Montreal reporter Verity Stevenson has been speaking to migrants who arrived at Roxham soon after the change, only to suddenly discover their journey would be cut short. Today, she brings us their stories, as well as what she saw in towns south of the U.S. border that are hosting hundreds of asylum seekers rejected from Canada.

Host Connor Cyrus speaks with CBC Montreal reporter Kate McKenna about how Canadians, specifically Quebec residents, are reacting to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The British monarch was also Canada's official head of state.

In 2017, Jordan Peele made the jump from comedy to horror with his directorial debut Get Out and the world of horror was never the same. Now Peele's back with his third film. Nope has clouds, cowboys and a whole lot of anticipation. CBC News film reviewer Eli Glasner caught up with CBC Montreal's Nantali Indongo to discuss the film.

Often when we think about lethal heat, we picture things like forest fires. But the fact is, one of the most dangerous places to be during a heat wave is inside a city. And considering that nearly three-quarters of Canadians live in urban areas, that's a big problem — and one that will only get more dangerous with time. Today, CBC Montreal reporter Jaela Bernstien breaks down what "urban heat islands" are, and who is most vulnerable to their deadly impacts. But this story isn't all doom and gloom. There are also lots of ways to fight urban heat — even some that are cheap and quick — and we'll be looking at those too.

This week, Quebec Premier François Legault announced a new reason for people to get their jabs: His government would place a significant tax on the unvaccinated. The announcement came a day after Legault accepted the resignation of the province's public health director, Dr. Horacio Arruda — leading some to ask if this bold plan was merely a distraction from the political strife within the province. CBC Montreal's Sarah Leavitt explains what exactly has been going on in Quebec under the Omicron wave. We then talk about the tax and if it's even a good idea. For some frustrated with people who won't get the shot, the controversial proposal was welcome news. But bioethics scholar Bryn Williams-Jones at Université de Montréal disagrees. He tells us why, in his view, this kind of tax is a legal and moral minefield.

Across Quebec, a COVID-19 conspiracy movement with ties to the far right is gaining ground — even as new cases continue to skyrocket. Today, CBC Montreal digital reporter Jonathan Montpetit joins us to talk about what has caused this conspiracy movement to thrive in the province, and what it could mean for Quebec’s fight against COVID-19.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Quebec police estimate threats made against public officials are up about 400 percent. Most of the people arrested for making those threats show evidence of believing in conspiracy theories. In fact, belief in these theories, as well as distrust in the mainstream media, is rising quickly in the province. And not all of these theories are coming from the United States. Some of them are coming from inside the province. So what should police and governments be doing? Because things seem to be getting dangerous quickly. GUEST: Jonathan Montpetit, CBC Montreal

Quebec’s premier, François Legault, has announced a plan to re-open the province in May, and he says the province’s COVID-19 crisis is now under control — at least, outside long term care facilities. But is it really under control? And will reopening the province trigger deepen community transmission of the disease? CBC Montreal’s Kate McKenna and Jonathan Montpetit join us to talk about what’s happening in the epicentre of Canada’s coronavirus pandemic.

Yet another Quebec government is proposing a bill designed to affirm the province's religious neutrality. The Coalition Avenir Quebec's Bill 21 seeks to ban public workers in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols. Thousands of people have turned out in protest -- but the idea is popular amongst the province's francophone majority. CBC Montreal's Jonathan Montpetit explains the long fraught history of legislating secularism and reasonable accommodation in Quebec.

Our guest today is here to tell us why journalists are your worst best friends. Tanya Birkbeck is a bilingual multi-media broadcast journalist who works on staff at CBC Montreal. She files daily to national and provincial news casts for radio and television and also creates web and social media content for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. She’s a trained video journalist and has worked internationally producing news reports and radio documentaries while also training and mentoring journalists. She will also tell us about how she launched the world’s first feminist cat magazine! Tanya’s Inspiration: Tanya grew up on a grain farm in rural Saskatchewan. She was an only child who lived out in the middle of nowhere. She spent a lot of time reading books and writing about her animals. Because of this upbringing so far away from everything she developed an incredible curiosity for the rest of the world. This was the inspiration for what would later become her career in journalism. Feminist Cat Magazine: As a kid Tanya created a lifestyle magazine for female cats called Catelaine. It was inspired by Chatelaine, Canada’s largest women’s magazine. She borrowed Chatelaine’s logo and did the illustrations and wrote the articles using her own cats as characters. Worst Best Friend Ever: In terms of their relationship with their sources journalists are the worst best friend ever. They’re the best friend who doesn’t respond to your messages, misses your anniversary and doesn’t come to your kid’s birthday party but all of the sudden when they need to borrow your car to move they are calling and saying “can you have your car over here five minutes ago please?” It’s nothing personal journalists are just very hard to get a hold of because they are extremely busy. Follow up, follow up, follow up. The importance of that first line: The subject line has to catch their eye because they are scrolling through dozens of messages. It should inspire curiosity that makes them have to know what the second sentence is because they are so hooked on the first one. It is like buzz feed headlines that you can’t resist clicking on even though afterwards you can’t believe you wasted your time on it. Be a little quirky: The things that make a good interview are clarity, getting to the point and it helps to have a quote that’s a little quirky. Make your point in a way that doesn’t sound exactly the same as everyone else. Let your personality come through a little. For example Tanya talked to a doctor who was against a proposal of having a non smoking and smoking area on a terrace. The doctor said “that would be like having a peeing and non-peeing area in a pool”.  ·      Tanya’s a-ha moment that took her out of the baby pool and into the ocean: She was working as a producer on an art show in 2012 when the student protests occurred. They were looking for some reporters and she had worked as a reporter years earlier. They asked her if she would like to go back to reporting and when she did she realized it’s what she loves and wants to do for her career. When you’re doing something you really love you know it in your heart. If you don’t really love what you’re doing you’ll know that too. Figure out what you love. ·      You can pitch Tanya your stories via email or twitter. Her email is tanya.birkbeck@cbc.ca and her twitter handle is @tanyabirkbeck ·      Tanya is also active on instagram where she posts a lot of journalists in the field style photos. It’s a good way to get to know what interests her. ·      Look me up on twitter at @lifewithgeeta or check out the resources on my blog at [geetanadkarni.com] for example the template for the perfect mediagenic bio that you can get written in under 15 minutes ·      Write headlines no journalist can resist, with the 58-headline template pack [http://babygotbooked.com/headlines]
