Sitting in the YUL MLL. There is a women in the centre of the lounge (the long wooden table) who has been on a teams meeting for the last 30 minutes. She has been doing most of the talking and does not have a quiet voice.

She is behaving but really loud. She finally finished the call.
No lineup today. Friday of a long weekend and the 17:00 flight to YYZ is delayed. I’m very surprised.
Not that I could tell.

Once again validating my premise that Teams is just evil.

YVR MLL yesterday around noon...line-up for non-SE, about a dozen people waiting to get in.
Not sure the reason for the line as there was a lot of open seating upstairs, but it looked like the agent manning the door needs some training as a bouncer as she wasn't doing a very good job of matching the inflow to the outflow of people.
Was just before noon and a number of the cold food options were exhausted and awaiting replenishment, which didn't seem to be happening quickly.
Did not appear that the power outlets along the long table by the window are operational yet as a woman seated 2 down from me had to get on her hands and knees to find a traditional outlet under the table against the window.

I was in the YYZ transborder MLL for parts of 7 hours while waiting for AC737. Lack of power outlets made things difficult, but the new long tables helped capacity somewhat.
Food was alright: pancakes, Korean BBQ chicken, pasta, and the sliders.

The outlets along the long table in the northwest section of the YVR Dom MLL worked for me last week.

YUL International MLL, 18:10 on 2022-09-26, line of ~15 pax.
Proactively asked the reception if SE gets priority, was told he can open the private lounge for me. Was instructed to go to the private room at the further inside of the lounge, where another SE was resting.
The other SE is a French-speaking guy in 3-piece suit.
After I settled, I went out to get food. As I tried to get back into the private room, a cleaning staff tried to stop me, asking if I was with the gentleman inside and told me the room is not open for regular use. I said I was SE but she wouldn't buy in and said she need to ask around. I gently pointed out there is another (3rd) SE (who is my travel companion) inside the private room and I am with him.
After a few minutes inside the room eating food, another staff (more fine dressed, maybe the management type of lounge staff?) went inside the room and told me I cannot use the room as it needs reservation. She seems to be cool with the guy in 3-piece suit and communicated with him in French (wish I can understand). I basically told her that the reception told me to use the room, then she left. I briefly talked with the gentleman in suit (turns out he can speak English also), and he was basically instructed the same thing as I did, lounge is full so go using the private room.
The lounge staff returned a few minutes later and said we are all good.

I was there two weeks ago and the furniture in the middle of the room still did not have power connected.
