    Very happy...the added density will be great and they'll be keepin' the grocery store which happens to be quite popular. To top it all off, a square will be built!

    Quartier Concordia

    chris a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Complétés

    The corner of Guy and de Maisonneuve is going to look soooo cool once the recladding of the GM Building is done! Now if only Concordia can acquire those apartment buildings on the north side of de Maisonneuve and make use of them. Concordia would essentially own that intersection and would be a true hub for the university. The problem with Concordia right now is that they have no 'center'...no hub (unlike McGill and many campuses across North America). I hope to see that problem fixed within the decade.

    So is New York City.

    Yeah...maybe it's time to start voting for that other Federal political party which traditionally treats these menaces to society a little less kinder!

    Sooooo any update regarding this project? Have they gotten the green light?

    Definitely worrisome...I think it's time to start accepting immigrants only from 'low-risk' countries i.e. countries that do not have a history of breading Islamic terrorism. In my opinion, countries like Somalia, Pakistan and Yemen are definitely NOT low-risk countries and immigration from these places should be severely curbed. As for the homegrown terrorists born and raised here in Canada...send them to Gitmo! If they don't like it here in Canada they can get the hell out.

    Go tell that to PQ Language critic Pierre Curzi...I think it's about time HE hears what the people of Quebec have to say.

    A new survey of Quebecers' attitudes on education shows that two out of three prefer to have the right to send their children to any school in the province they choose, public or private. The poll, conducted for The Gazette by Léger Marketing, asked whether students other than those now allowed, including franco-phones, should have access to English-language schools if they wish. A total of 66 per cent of a representative sample of Quebecers agreed that they should - including a 61-per-cent clear majority of francophones. Non-francophones were even more overwhelmingly in favour, at 87 per cent. Women, at 71 per cent, were significantly more so than the 66 per cent of men who agreed. Overall, 30 per cent disagreed - that is, 35 per cent of francophones and 11 per cent of non-francophones.

    To be honest, that's a pretty ignorant comment. Regardless of what their IQ may be, they put their lives on the line for us every day. Sure, no one is perfect, and neither is the Montreal Police Force, but I do respect them for what they do. The vast majority are hard working individuals who do nothing more than at least try and protect our well being while at the same time facing life-or-death situations almost every day. Police officers are not douchebags...far from it.

    GREAT!!! Now If only they can do do something with the Faubourg and Shaughnessy Village would really be turning around!

    Before entering Montreal in 2004, WestJet very strongly considered using St. Hubert Airport as their Montreal Airport instead of Trudeau. The problem was (and still is) that there is no suitable terminal and the airport is not very well-known amongst Montrealers.

    Anyone remotely familiar with statistics will definitely see how these numbers have been manipulated. First off, less Francophone doesn't necessarily mean more Anglophone because there is a third variable that hasn't even been mentioned: Allophones! The main reason why the percentage of Francophones if the Island of Montreal is decreasing is because they are moving out to the suburbs and are being replaced by newly-arrived immigrants who are neither Francophone nor Anglophone. Funny how the article doesn't mention whether the percentage of Anglophones in Montreal has been increasing or decreasing. Well in bypassing the usual seperatist bullshit/hysteria, I took it upon myself to look up the stats at Statscan.ca and BEHOLD, the percentange of Anglophones in Metropolitan Montreal HAS GONE DOWN (11.86% in 2006, 12.07% in 2001). This takes into account 'mother tongue' only. If one were to use 'home language', the numbers would alter a little, but the story would remain the same. It's this hysteria and the manipulation of the stats that gives people at the Parti Quebecois zero credibility!

    La Calgary du Québec

    chris a répondu à un sujet de ErickMontreal dans L'actualité

    please...Quebec City is hardly redneck...in fact Calgary isn't redneck at all. There aren't any true 'nedneck' cities in Canada...you'll find rednecks mostly in rural areas. Calgary, Edmonton, Quebec City and to a lesser extent Ottawa are all 'Blue' cities but that doesn't mean they're redneck.

    Congrats McGill! Awh, where's Concordia?
  21. chris
    Anglophones only represent 24% of the island of Montreal (this is from StatsCan.ca). Francophones, on the other hand represent 53% of the island of Montreal. The rest are allophones. I classify anglophones as francophones as those who use english or french as their 'Home Language'. Get your facts straight...Anglophones are nowhere near the majority of the Island of Montreal. Stop being so hypersensative!
  22. chris
    Good move Harper!

    I want a cleaner city. Heck I've even made strides to clean up this this...I'm even making sure that I spit out my chewing gums in the garbage rather than just spitting it onto the street/sidewalk like I used to before I was concious of our city's look.
  24. chris
    For real? Got any proof?

    Greater Montreal's population is roughly 1/2 of the Province of Quebec's total population, so when talking about Quebec as a whole, a significant part of that (50%) takes into account the 'bilingual' Montreal region. Let's also not forget that the Gatineau region is also very bilingual, and so are the regions of Argenteuil, Pontiac and the Eastern Townships. My point is that demographically, the population is Quebec is centred in and around these 'bilingual' areas where speaking English may be a necessity.
