Contributing Writer

Montreal may be known for bleeding red, white and blue, but there's no denying that it also bleeds a whole lot of orange (cones) thanks to the constant construction we can always count on.

And if anyone knows these struggles properly — it's the locals of the city, like Robert Soare, the creator of the TikTok above, which is one of the most accurate things I've ever seen.

At the time of writing this article, the TikTok had collected over 41k likes and over 800 comments — I guess many people can relate.
