I enjoy documentaries via YouTube when I can find something educational.
This is easily the most educational documentary I've EVER watched. It thoroughly takes the mystery out of nuclear power production. I didn't mind it before. I REALLY don't mind it now.
1 hour and 45 minutes of WOW

Excellent write-up about 2 of 12 days touring Montréal by bike. I read it slowly to fully absorb and appreciate the consideration to make it both entertaining for armchair tourers, and informative for people researching to plan their own biking adventures. I'm envious of the pedestrianized streets.
31 km ride on Montreal’s calm streets to Jean Talon Market, lush linear parks, and iconic Fairmount Bagel. Repurposed streets, murals, pedestrian zones, and waterfront views. A steep climb back to the Oratory. A full day of food, art, green spaces, and discovery.
