TL:DR

Canada's Drag Race Season 6 is coming Nov 20th, and Montreal's bringing the heat with Sami Landri, Velma Jones (aka Johnny Jones), and Paolo Perfección! 💅 Plus, the weather's gonna be extra this weekend with rain, potential 'storms, then a major temp drop with *maybe* snow! 💀

The Queens Are Coming!

OK, besties, get ready. Canada's Drag Race Season 6 is dropping on November 20th, and Montreal's sending three queens to snatch the crown. We're talking Sami Landri, Velma Jones (who ALSO goes by Johnny Jones), and Paolo Perfección. This season is gonna be iconic, no cap.

Meet the Queens

  • Velma Jones/Johnny Jones: This queen is making history as the FIRST contestant to slay as BOTH a drag queen and a drag king! They've been killin' it at Cabaret Mado for nine years and describe their vibe as a "theatrical chameleon." So artsy, bestie!
  • Sami Landri: Known for their bilingual comedy gold, Sami is the FIRST Acadian drag artist AND the first queen from New Brunswick to hit the CDR stage! Their style? "Trash-chic." We love a queen who can werk a lewk!
  • Paolo Perfección: Okay, so Paolo is kinda new to the stage, but they're a whole fashion icon. Before CDR, they were mostly doing their thing online, serving unhinged realness and a love for all things fashion. We stan a digital native!

Sami Landri said it's so important to have this show right now given all the hate toward drag queens, trans folks, and the whole LGBTQ+ community. Preach, queen! ✊

Weather's Being Extra This Weekend

But wait, there's more! The weather's about to go full chaotic this weekend. Saturday's gonna be mild (around 15 degrees Celsius) but rainy AF with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. So basically, a vibe.

Saturday night? Cloudy with a 30% chance of drizzle and some strong winds. Secure the wig, queens!

Sunday's when things get wild. Expect a mix of sun and clouds, a 40% chance of showers, and more wind. But the real tea? Temperatures are gonna PLUMMET. Like, maybe even snowfall in some areas! 💀

Next week's lookin' kinda chill, tho. Monday's gonna be sunny-ish with a high of plus 4, Tuesday's cloudy (high of plus 5), and Wednesday's back to sun and clouds with a high of plus 4. Thursday? 40% chance of showers and a high of 7.

Basically, this weekend's weather is a whole mood. Dress accordingly, fam!
