See here, here, here, and here.
Big box stores, eh? Yuck. Still, it'll be better than a casino.
It's great to be alive! |

| | | | Wal-Mart???? I prefered the casino idea. Also, Wal-mart did the same thing in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, they demolished the old CSF factory and cancelled the project. So we better be careful they don't demolish it for nothing!

| | | | Fart Mart also is looking at Saint Jaques and Cavendish-- they want to be in NDG so bad it s making them crazy!
But no surprises --- the city has no imagination at all! At a time when cities the world over are being redefined by interesting community projects that renew and embellish old neighbourhoods, Montreal stays firmly dug in the past by allowing corporate interests to take a long look at anything they want!

| | | | Are your surprised? People voted for Gérald Tremblay. What did they expected? Vision and leadership?
Doré got the boot because he had vision and leadership (digging up the canal Lachine was his idea, revitalization of downtown through a "International business" sector also). Drapeau got public shame for having vision and leadership... What was Montréal in 1962? Nothing. My point exactly. Ok, it cost money but so what? At least Montreal is still on the map.

| | | | and Tremblay took an easy route in - he didnt really have to come up with any ideas of his own, just pretend he was democratic about the mergers, debate Bourque ( which any moron could do), and ride the wave of a very misguided and often misinformed populous.

drapeaus good ones:
Expo 67
1976 olympics
subway
first major league Baseball team outside of US
he was known by Ed Sullivan and was on the show twice, only canadian politician to ever toss out the first pitch in an american ballpark
Dore:
the revitalization of de la commune
the restauration of city hall
the Nouveau Montreal housing developpments in old montreal
support of labatt park
in the expos waning days he chimed in saying that montreals name was mentioned in 29 other cities nightly they were an ambassador of our city
tremblay has done squat since he has been in, the FINA fiasco is proof even the temporary pools that the city supposedly had a buyer for are still in storage

| | | | The thing that was good about Drapeau and Dore was that the people who disagreed with them disagreed PASSIONATELY!!! Today, well, if you have no personality, it just isnt going to be very exciting is it?

| | | | I passionately think Tremblay is an idiot with no vision and leadership whatsoever. I think Bourque have as much vision as a Geranium. And I'm passsionate about this.

Bourque has been called "Geranium Premier" (or Geranium in Chief I guess in English) publicly many many times.
