Suspicious package at Lionel-Groulx. They have the robot going to detonate it. Gridlock everywhere, avoid at all costs. Orange line still running, walk to St-Henri station a few blocks west.

Not to downplay this threat but considering yesterday's false alarm, I'm suspecting this is nothing but over the top paranoia.

And I hope I'm right.

You'd think they would close the orange line if this is an actual threat. There was a "suspicious" package at Fairview out in the West Island as well. Hopefully this proves to be a false alarm but I really wonder what people are thinking if they believe this kind of prank is funny in light of what happened in Boston.

No doubt it is nothing...It's more so you know to change your commute plans seeing as LG is a pretty major metro hub, especially if you live in Lachine/West Island and take the bus.

Edit:

STM on twitter says all lines are working. They're just skipping over Lionel.

Well I guess the paranoia is here to stay. No bomb threats in x days and now 2 in 2 days... Everyone raise a glass to society... as it stumbles to the ground.

That's a little ridiculous...it's not "here to stay", the bombing happened two days ago, not two years ago. It's perfectly normal for everyone to be on their toes a little bit in the days following, especially with concerns of copycat bombers and whatnot.
