<p>The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for holding a grouse against the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, over his relocation to Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. According to the APC, it seems the PDP didn’t want the governor to return home alive from Germany, where […]</p>

To make matters more difficult, Montreal was hit with a <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/montreal-weather-blowing-snow-warning" target="_blank">blowing snow advisory</a> from <a href="https://weather.gc.ca/en/location/index.html?coords=45.529,-73.562" target="_blank">Environment Canada</a> on Monday morning.</p><p>While the worst of the extreme weather may be over, towering snowbanks and clogged streets could remain a common sight for the next week or so. On Monday afternoon, the City of Montreal addressed the situation in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mtlville/posts/pfbid02JpkTEccVgkrnH2N1wabybfNyygkUH6c5BVBPBFgn1hq3y5McckL4yPvGq9Mz9GXcl" target="_blank">social media statement</a>.</p><p>"We have just gone through an unprecedented storm, with nearly 74 cm of snow accumulated in record time," the city wrote before offering a timeline for snow clearing. "Montreal is buried, and it will take at least eight days before the situation returns to normal."</p><p>Officials are reminding residents that parking restrictions remain in effect and must be respected to avoid slowing down snow removal crews. The city also confirmed that all garbage, recycling, and compost collections are cancelled this week.</p><p>"We thank you for your patience and understanding," the statement continued. "Behind every shovel, every snowplow, there is a person working hard. In the meantime, let's be there for each other — help a neighbour, push a stuck vehicle, give a smile to the teams on the ground."</p><p>Montreal mayor Valérie Plante later issued a statement of her own, reminding citizens that Montreal hasn't received a snowfall this significant since the 1950s. </p><p>"Travelling will not be easy this week, but the situation should improve gradually," she wrote in French. "I'm aware that this is not easy for a lot of people. I want to reassure you: We are doing everything in our power to deal with this exceptional situation."</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGLt5OHvek5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
