About me:
Hi i'm Ayme, an 18 year montrealer who is looking to make a difference. I'm making this account on the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, January 20th 2017. I am fearful of a few things regarding this presidency simply because Donald Tump's use of rhetoric has created such fuss over the past months, and he has been known to make some off the wall and often quite offensive statements. I am a person who is very optimistic and hopeful, and i believe that this is a time where we must hope that Donald trump will make the kind of changes that will better the lives of Americans. Only time can tell what will come out of this presidency, and i sincerely hope for the best.

Cold winters, torturous traffic, and road construction as far as the eye can see… If you're a Montrealer, you've probably had to deal with all this and much more, but what if i told you that their’s a more important issue you've ever even considered, an issue that if solved, could play a vital role in achieving sustainability, which means less traffic jams, a better environment, and an over all improved sense of community. The problem I'm talking about is that of Icy bike paths.
