  1. Ben voyons donc Yara. SI il y a ben une ville en amérique du nord qui a une réputation de "laid-back", "fumeurs de pot", "granolas" c'est bien Vancouver!

     

    It's a myth... Vancouver is only laid back if you're one of the rich jet-setters and short-term residents who treat the city like a resort. For everybody else it's impossible to be truly laid-back when the rents and property prices are completely unaffordable. Incomes aren't that high in Vancouver but the real estate is the most expensive in Canada!

     

    That's to say nothing of the fact that as a culturally innovative city, Vancouver has got nothing in Montreal. There's a reason so many young, creative Vancouverites have moved here in recent years. I haven't heard of anyone moving from Montreal to Vancouver to take advantage of the creative atmosphere.

  2. Aside from the cheap-looking cladding, I really don't like the way it treats the ground floor. The retail spaces (which are still empty) look lost behind the thick brick columns. Some of the ground floor is actually taken up by blank service doors which I think is inexcusable. They could have been placed more discreetly or been better integrated into the streetscape.

  3. Nice photos! I visited Saint Lambert for the first time in early January. It was a lot more substantial than I expected... there's even a small department store.

     

    I was with a friend who grew up in an old railroad suburb of NYC and it really seemed to remind him of home.

  4. Déjà commencer à chialer

    voir sur spacingmontreal.ca

     

    Faut clarifier que ce n'est pas spacingmontreal.ca qui commence à chialer mais surtout quelques de nos lecteurs.

     

    Personally, I think this project is a good thing. The only concern I have is that the Jeans Jeans Jeans building will be destroyed to extend St. Viateur. It creates a nice visual terminus for the street; instead of extending the whole thing, why not create a pedestrian link through the vacant lot just to the south of that building, which would connect with the St. Viateur extension? Pedestrians and cyclists would be able to go through but through traffic would be limited, which is probably a good idea anyway.

  5. Je dirais que vivre en anglias au Québec est prèsque impossible, à moins de vivre dans les bastions anglophones du West Island ou de Westmount!

     

    Moi je vis dans le Mile End et je passe la plupart de ma vie en anglais. Bien que je sois bilingue, je parle beaucoup plus souvent l'anglais que le français.

     

    D'ailleurs, c'est un peu la même chose à Vancouver, où le chinois est très répandu. Ma belle-mère parle à peine l'anglais mais ça ne lui pose aucune problème. Elle passe très bien sa vie quotidienne en parlant que du cantonais.

  6. Why 10pm? 11pm would make so much more sense.

     

    I don't understand why alcohol sales at deps are prohibited after 11pm, either. Is it to protect the bars? If that's the case, it's kind of absurd. Supermarkets can't stay fully open after 9pm to protect the depanneurs, depanneurs can't sell alcohol after 11pm to protect the bars, bars can't stay open after 3am to protect... who knows.

     

    If Alberta has one advantage over Quebec, it's that liquor stores are allowed to stay open until last call.
