More competent. Me like. *Crosses fingers* Broccolini will be the buyer.

If this gets the extension, so should the orange line to Bois Franc.

With Paul expanding into Canada, first in Vancouver, they will for sure not have a hard time finding a spot in Montreal.

(Courtesy of Journal de Montreal) You got to love bureaucrats. Anywhere to spend money. They can ask anyone and they will say the orange line needs to be extended to at least Bois Franc. What happened to the good old days, just do it and hope for the best. Now we have to deal with spend millions and millions for many decades, and hope we will get the extension.

I should show this to my wife the list. She wants to move back to France, but the best city on the list is Strasbourg at 40. NYC is ranked 69 Paris is ranked 79 Honolulu is ranked 118 Dublin is ranked 120

Only 60 years old. Yeesh it hasn't aged gracefully.

I went 1-2x when I was living in the area, the food was alright. I bet the regulars will be sad to see it close.

It is quite a large complexe for a consulate.

The only place I know that the high end retail sector has been doing great for 2+ decades is in Honolulu. It will be interesting to see how well this project turns out. Time will tell.

Sotramont on December 8th is unveiling their new development for Bois Franc. Some info that I manage to find mentions it is 100 unit development. Some details: "Choose from 1-3 bedroom condos with stunning park views of the condo project in Bois-Franc. Underground parking. Spacious floorplans. 1-3 Bedroom Condos. Indoor & Outdoor Pool. High-End Amenities." Courtesy of Sotramont

Sabia is stepped down from the Caisse today.

My wife isn't looking forward to going back to work in September. Thankfully my new job is near a few metro stations in VSL/TMR, so I can drop her off or she can try the Hudson line. I can't wait for this whole thing to be over and done with. It is to bad they can't the trains stop in TMR and they take a bus to the nearest metro, during the 4 years.

I saw a piece of what they will be using to make the tunnels on the site yesterday evening.

I cannot wait for this to open. Hopefully they will place the ugly Christmas tree in that location

A large part of Lasalle needs to be redeveloped.

That be great. I ordered something a few weeks ago, 2 day service. It shipped from Saint Laurent, had to go to their DC in Ontario and shipped to me. What is insane, the company is 15 mins from my house. They should have just shipped it with Canada Post.

I knew a few people who lived in Ontario and would come work in Montreal. Not sure how that works tax wise.

I am looking forward to seeing the end result.

They should name it: Rock, Rock, Rock, Pipe, Rock, Rock On the lines of this annoying commercial I hear on the radio once in a while talking about safety.

I guess they don't want all the seniors hogging up all the registers at Walmart and Maxi.

Walmart not so much. Not glam enough for downtown. Walmart would need to make their stores more like Target for that to work, also brand it under Jet (right now no physical locations) and it would have to find a home like at Alexis Nihon or the old Forum. Place Bonaventure would be a great location for Muji.

Rental units, on Sherbrooke near Ritz and extremely expensive condos. I have a feeling these units will be like $4000 plus per month. Which will be catering to mostly execs or children of wealthy foreigners.

With the amount of furniture stores in the city, it would make sense for Ikea to have a space there. Do what they do in VSL, have different life styles setup and instead of picking it up, have Ikea deliver.

If it goes down hill, who will buy back Rona, BMR?

What would be great if they can have the new Pie Ix station up and running by 2023 and every 1-2 years, open a new station to users and not have all stations open at the same time.
