Should Quebec keep its carbon pricing system?
Social Sharing Since the federal government scrapped its carbon tax, Quebec stands alone as the only province with its own price on carbon. Now, the Quebec government is facing calls from some corners to eliminate it in order to bring down the price at the pump. But some experts say that would put us even further from our climate goals. And some Quebecers are still trying to wrap their heads around what exactly we're paying — and where the money goes. Do you have a question about Montreal? Host Ainslie MacLellan is determined to help find the answer. Whether it's a story that's disappeared from the headlines, a curious landmark in your neighbourhood, or a quirk of Montreal life you've been wondering about, we're on it. Let's learn about this place together. Your Montreal questions, answered weekly. Nothing too big, too small or too weird. What are you wondering? Send us your question here.

Why is rent going up so much in Montreal?
Every year, Quebec's housing tribunal, known in French as the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), releases a set of calculations that aim to help landlords and tenants figure out how much rent should increase. This year, it came up with 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? In this episode of This is Montreal, we look at how the rental increase formula works and hear why both tenants and landlords seem to want it to change. Do you have a question about Montreal?

What needs to change in Quebec schools?
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 learning environment.. 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 of This is Montreal, 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.
