    Here’s a part from a feature written in the Gazette last weekend: On a side note, both the CP lines and the CN lines have their pros and cons, but regardless of which track is chosen for the airport link, I have a quasi- pipe dream I’d love to see become reality: a fifth metro line that would be above-ground and would ultimately connect the CN line to the Doney Spur through the bit of rail that goes south, just west of the Technoparc St Laurent. The West Island would finally have its metro line, as would a huge neglected part of the Havre de Montreal which, crossing our fingers, will look ultimately different in 20 years time. The stations would be as follows, but would ultimately depend on the level of development in these areas: Stillview (West Island Terminus: end of the Doney Spur and close to Blvd. St. Charles) St. Jean Delmar Des Sources TechnoParc Aeroport Dorval Lachine Saint Pierre Lac à la loutre Saint-Remi Place Saint Henri Saint Patrick Pointe Saint Charles Wellington (corner Bridge) Griffintown (stop at rue William) Bonaventure

    On the side of Pierre-Dupuy opposite the casino, there is a parking area just above the circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Anyone else think that's a good area for a hotel/entertainment/possible Cirque du Soleil complex?

    I like it. And I think with signage the greyness will be broken up a bit.

    I'm not so sure about the ruelle theory. Unless I'm missing something, in between Drummond and Crescent is de la Montagne, so if the project touches both streets wouldn't it have to span over de la Montagne?
  8. rosey12387
    While I'm certainly not trying to take the wind out of the sails of this project, (great design!) I was wondering what you guys thought of this design compared to Panizini's original renderings for the lot a few years ago. (I think at that time THIS project was called Le Mackay)

    My bad, I thought it was alluding to hypocrisy over cars being bad for environmental reasons.
  10. rosey12387
    Don't you know the environment is only in danger when the economy is doing well? It's a new theory called "global selective memory". It's time ecological conservatives and eco-capitalists like Jim Harris (ex-leader of the Green Party) get seats in Ottawa. The environment has always and will always be a pertinent issue that needs to be taken care of. Even without the whole idea of carbon emissions our environment is in major need of help. Several eco-capitalists have run for the Conservatives especially in Toronto, unfortunately none have yet to be elected by their constituents. I'm crossing my fingers for the next election, whenever that may be, regardless of which party comes out on top, that we elect some eco-capitalists to the HOC.
  11. rosey12387
    While I can't speak for anyone else I sure do. Let's remember all the confidence votes of the last parliament. 2 of the 3 coalition parties always voted non-confidence. The other one, remained absent and has finally found a good time to take power after a 2.5 year break. This coalition was formed due to a so called lack of stimulus. The opposition parties have yet to really explain what stimulus means other than throwing money at failing companies.

    Meanwhile only 38.1% of Quebec voters voted Bloc and they got 65.3% of Quebec seats. And Chretien won a majority with 38.46% in 1997. We can all play with statistics until we're blue in the face. What's more important in this discussion is there should be a large distinction between Quebec bashing and separatist bashing. While the Bloc claims to be a party looking out for Quebec's interests it time and time again clearly states it is a party who’s goal is the separation of Quebec. Those two things are not necessarily one and the same. The anger is not aimed at Quebecers or Quebec as a whole. It is at the 38.1% of those who voted in Quebec who voted for the Bloc a party made up of separatist MPs. Because let's not forget before Harper the Bloc did not like Martin, nor did they like Chretien or Mulroney, the man many PC MPs betrayed to create the Bloc. The Bloc would likely hate Jack Layton just as much if he became PM. The Bloc has the unrealistic goal of making sure all of Quebec's needs are always met. And since there are 9 other provinces that will never be possible no matter what party is in power. Not to mention it's questionable that a party could have the specific goal of continually supporting the interests of a province when that province has over 7,000,000 people all with opinions of their own. Let's not forget we have 5 major parties, with 5 different platforms to choose from next Monday not 1. All 5 seem to think Quebec has different interests. As well, if the same party holding the balance of power was a Manitoban or Newfounlander separatist party the same anger would exist. It is not about Quebec persay. It is about separatists holding Canada by the balls. It doesn't matter where that hand comes from. Now if you’d like to cry about how those mean English Canadians are hurting your feelings, that’s your prerogative, just know you’re not actually important enough for them to care about. And in the case that that anger is directed towards Quebec in general well that's because the heart of the problem comes from Quebec. Despite having only 23% of Canada's population out of the now 163 seats that have power in the house 40% of them, 64 seats, are from Quebec. Meanwhile, the west which represents 31% of the population has 21 seats (1 each for Alberta and Saskatchewan) so they rightfully feel their needs will not be meant. Could you blame them for wanting Quebec out of their country? In fact, considering it has taken over 141 years for Quebec to make a decision could you not see why they are fed up? I’m sure many of them wish they could have a referendum on Quebec and give it a one-way ticket out of confederation. Let’s not forget Quebec separatists have had two chances and failed and from polling it looks like they would fail again today. It is not fair to keep Canada ransom until Quebec decides it’s ready.

    Meta level point of view or not, it doesn't make it true. Let me tell you, those alligator hunter's in Mississippi living in trailers sure aren't rich. Conservatism is an ideology and ideologies can be shared by the poor and the rich alike. I am nowhere near rich and my family was actually pretty poor not too many years ago, but regardless I'm a fiscal conservative through and through.
  14. rosey12387
    Did you poll all the rich people and ask who they vote for? I didn’t know all those rural seats, the majority of those held by the conservatives, were full of reach people. I didn’t realize all the mutli-millionaires were camping out in Beauceville, Quebec, Brandon, Manitoba and Lethbridge, Alberta. Let’s take a look at which ridings some of the richest Canadians do live in: Shaugnessy in Vancouver: Liberal-held Vancouver Quadra Rockcliffe Park in Ottawa: Liberal-held Ottawa Vanier Forest Hill in Toronto: Liberal-held Eglinton-Lawrence, Liberal-held St. Paul’s Rosedale in Toronto: Liberal-held Toronto Centre Bride Path in Toronto: Liberal-held Don Valley West Westmount in Montreal: Liberal-held Westmount-Ville Marie Outremont in Montreal: NDP-held Outremont Hampstead in Montreal: Liberal-held Mont-Royal Laval-sur-Lac: Liberal-held Laval-les-Iles Tuxedo in Winnipeg: Liberal-held Winnipeg South Centre (the only Liberal seat in Manitoba) The Uplands in Victoria: NDP-held Victoria If they are the party of the rich, well then the rich have pretty poor representation. While I’m aware many of these people could have still voted Conservative because they only make up part of the riding, until you go door to door and ask these people who they vote for I think your point is mute. Some of the richest men in Canadian politics are Liberals as are some of the richest voters and I know that from first hand experience. Just because you don’t agree with the way the Conservatives handle fiscal issues does not make them a party for the rich.

    Area needs it bad too. Only place where a McDonald's, a Lafleur's and a Harvey's can all close.
  16. rosey12387
    As tempted as I am to answer that a promise is a promise so I'm not going to. Maybe if it ever makes it into another thread some time.
  17. rosey12387
    Thanks. I appreciate the info. (And just on a final note, and I promise final Malek. I'm really curious to know why when this topic comes up the West Island is always mentioned. There are a lot more federalist pockets in the province. If I was not from Canada, I'd assume all of Quebec including the rest of Montreal voted overwhelmingly to separate but that this retched federalist West Island place ruined it for everyone else )
  18. rosey12387
    Could you explain to me why different geographical divisions of Quebec could not have a democratic referendum? Same way Quebec the province can? I'm not trying to be snappy, I'm trying to "learn".
  19. rosey12387
    Yes the man who would like us to negotiate with the Taliban. You know that group that pays people to douse school girls in acid? Wow for once I'm in agreement with Pauline, Quebec separatism would be the answer...for the rest of Canada. And joining the U.S.? Personally, not for me. I'm proud to be Canadian and would like it to stay that way. And by the way Malek, Northern Kosovo should go to Serbia. It's exceedingly Serbian and would not affect Kosovo whatsoever.
  20. rosey12387
    I agree, let's get on with the original discussion, but just before: don't for one second think partition is a little white lie. It is utterly possible. And now back to the original topic...Quebec separatists and two federalist morons from Quebec, Taliban-Jack and "I'll talk about Kyoto until I'm green in the face but do absolutely nothing as environment minister" Dion, hijacking the Canadian parliament.
  21. rosey12387
    That's the best you can come up with Yara? Sorry I don't have any real examples from the country of Quebec. Maybe it's because it isn't a country yet? But hopefully for you, and I'm starting to think for myself as well, that could come to pass one day. Just remember same way Canada is divisible don't think for one moment that Quebec is not. There are enough federalist pockets on the Ontario and New Brunswick borders that your country of Quebec could quickly shrink in size. And Malek, good try with UCIM, but it's a totally different situation.
  22. rosey12387
    Let me present the following hypothetical situation showing how if Quebec separates and keeps the same parliamentary system (or even have a different one) then it too could be a “joke”. Say the PQ wins an election and a referendum is called. Results 60% yes, 40% no. Clear majority, so Quebec separates. Then as Quebec starts to become a country the PQ will likely no longer be able to support being a party for the left and right. Different parties will likely form, representing an array of different political beliefs. Then, let’s say, a Canadian federalist party forms and the majority of the 40% that voted ‘no’ are unified under that banner and vote en masse for that party. You could then very well have a rightfully sovereign country with a government that does not support its sovereignty. If any of you want to call the parliamentary democracy system a joke, go ahead. But to call Canada a joke, because of it, is senseless.
  23. rosey12387
    And Erick, this is due to the fact the federal government is a parliamentary democracy. Correct me if wrong, so is the Assemble Nationale. This could happen in Quebec just as easily.
  24. rosey12387
    Yara, while the Liberals and the Bloc themselves are not self-proclaimed leftist parties look at their leaders, especially Duceppe.
  25. rosey12387
    My problem is this. Quebec needs to make up its mind. If Quebec decides to leave fine, if Quebec decides to stay fine as well. But I don't think it if fair a so-called coalition of the left can be formed when some Bloc voters are not remotely leftist. Quebec does have the right to choose it's future...but choose already! It's not fair for the rest of the Canadian public. The Bloc could easily bring this government down, form a coalition with the Conservatives, then bring them down and form a coalition with the left again and so on and so on. Quebec's rights, although they should be respected, should not come at the expense of the rights of the 9 other provinces to have stable government whether it be from right-wing or left-wing parties.
