A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

Montrealers, do (most) planes at Trudeau airport land and take off towards the South-West? That would put it over the water, so the noise wouldn't be as bad. (lemmy.ca)

Planes take off and land into the wind so they don't crash. Runways are built in the directions wind blows, and wind direction tends to be pretty consistant, so an airport's runways often all face the same direction.
