MTL Blog is a Montreal based, Canadian blog that has both localized and international editions founded in 2012 by Charles Lapointe and Joshua McRae and owned by Narcity Media. The site features local & Canadian news, best of lists, provocative articles, and blogs.
The blog launched in 2012 and was originally focused on nightlife photography and parties in Montreal.
In 2013, the website incorporated into MTL Blog Inc and started creating content in style of listicles that were local, and some more generic.
In 2014 and 2015, the blog's popularity flourished by creating more provocative content and focusing on local listicles.
In 2015, former writer Irina Tee wrote multiple provocative articles about relationships and dating. While bringing in a lot of traffic for the website, Tee was the subject of petitions and of an open-letter demanding her suspension from her writing position at MTL Blog, thus not helping the website's image.
