We can get through this, Montreal. Ça va bien aller. Ça va passer.
It's been nearly a month (25 days since Quebec premier François Legault declared a local state of emergency, to be precise) since we started to self-isolate, turning Montreal into a veritable ghost town, and what we see of the city is generally restricted to anything outside our windows and whatever's happening on social media.
So what IS happening on social media? Rainbows. Our feeds are filling up with heartwarming scenes of Montrealers partaking in spreading messages of hope in form of rainbows with the message "ça va bien aller," that everything is going to be OK. It's everywhere you look...
