  1. No McGill still has full ownership of the stadium.
  2. Its a meaningless statistic. Its not the number of conventions that matter but the number of delegates, especially out of town delegates. We are not in the top 20 when looking at it that way.
  3. Ce sont pas des nouveaux trains. Une comparaison entre le brut du metro de Montreal et celui de Beijing qui ont des wagons moins chere que celles que nous allons acheter demontre plus.
  4. En 1967 oui, pas maintenant. Les trains standard sont superior a ce que nous avons et egal a ce que nous aurons.
  5. Brossard attire de plus en plus de compagnie pour un bureau régionale. Il y a Deloitte qui a déménager de Longueuil en novembre et il y Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton qui ouvre cette semaine. Je pense que Taschereau deviendra une rue avec plus de tour de bureau (4-7 étages) et de moins en moins comme rue commercial. Il y aura aussi le 1080 Tashereau (Greenfield Park) bientot.
  6. Suprenant qu'ils ont choisi Groupe immobilier santé McGill qui à comme sous-traitant Simard-Beaudry Construction (Tony Accurso)
  7. Le Concorde was initially taller. The height was reduced by the OCPM.
  8. Tensions build over Roxboro high-rise project by Raffy Boudjikanian Article online since November 24th 2009, 13:00 Holly Arsenault shows the property line dividing her land from that of a developer whose potential project leaves many on Fifth Avenue North in Roxboro unhappy. Chronicle, Raffy Boudjikanian. Tensions build over Roxboro high-rise project Even as some residents of Fifth Avenue North in Roxboro, a dead-end street lined with single-unit bungalows, are concerned over the possible development of a multiple-storey condo at the end of their street, Pierrefonds officials at a lively public meeting last Wednesday night were at pains to explain nothing could move ahead yet. "Before the project can be accepted or acceptable, the developer must present plans that conform to our legislation. For now, that isn't the case yet," said Pierre Rochon, urban planning and business services department director, in answer to citizen questions. However, residents are concerned after seeing land surveyors walk into the swampy wooded area over the last few weeks. Holly Arsenault, who lives in a home right on the property line of the area, even said one of them told her the owner, Jacob Wolofsky, has already acquired all necessary permits and construction will begin in February. "If that's true, he's dreaming in colour," Rochon replied. When The Chronicle went to visit the street last Thursday, Arsenault showed a row of rocks that separates her yard from Wolofsky's property. Planted alongside both sides of that makeshift border are 45 trees, which Arsenault said play a large role in keeping her home from flooding when nearby Rivière des Prairies rises in the spring. "He said he's going to cut them down," Arsenault said, adding about half of them are on the developer's side. Another Fifth Avenue North resident, France Marsant, voiced her displeasure at the Wednesday meeting too. "Our street had a very peaceful, very calm character," she said. "We find it unthinkable to have a big block of eight floors on the street, which could lead to 300 cars going into the street by the summer." Borough Mayor Monique Worth insisted Pierrefonds was doing all in its power to ensure legal norms force the developer to create a reasonable project. "Our norms are getting higher and higher," she said. Rochon said previous bylaws allowed a 12-storey high project on the site, but the borough's revisions have already cut that size down to eight. At least one resident of the street was skeptical anything could be built at all. "I wouldn't even invest a cent into that land, it's a swamp," said Michel Davuluy, who has been living there for several years. After the meeting, Worth conceded the city of Montreal would, in an ideal world, like to buy up that land and turn into green space. "I think, in a way, we would like it to be a part of green space that would start, let's say, west of the Rapides du Cheval Blanc and end with that piece of property," Worth said. "But we can't force him to sell at a lower price because we would like to. It's up to him, it's his decision," she said. Though the land is valuated at about $188,000, a purchase by Montreal would cost millions because it is a public body, Worth said. Montreal had a right of expropriation on the property in question up to last May, but did not renew it after it expired, Marsant mentioned at the meeting. Wolofsky did not return calls for comment.
  9. Quand ils ont construit le Centre Bell - la gare Windsor n'avait pas reçu de train pour 15 ans. Le Centre Bell à maintenant 13 ans et maintenant pour la première fois on parle de remettre la gare Windsor en service sérieusement . Remarque aussi qu'on s'en servira pas pour les trains car il est trop petit. Il sera seulement un édifice pas une gare. Aussi, ce n'est pas le Centre Bell qui a tuer la rue St-Antoine, il etait déjà mort. c'etait la Place Bonaventure et l'autoroute Ville Marie. Aussi, CP etait proprietaire a 10% du Centre Bell jusqu'a cette année.

    La question de 12 milliards

    From CNBC Oct 2008 External debt as a % of GDP Ireland 1267% Switzerland 422.7% UK 408.3% Netherlands 365% Belgium 3202% Denmark 298.3% Austria 252.6% France 236% Portugal 214.4% Hong Kong 205.8% Norway 199% Sweden 194.3% Finland 188.5% Germany 178.5% Spain 171.7% Greece 161.1% Italy 126.7% Australia 111.3% Hungary 105.7% USA 94.4% Keep in mind though that this is external debt, so for Quebec it would be more then just the combination of federal and provincial, but would also include municipal, educational and hospitals that are currently seperate.
  12. The core issues are that 1) I said that Macleans does these type of articles all the time and that we shouldn't put credence into them because of that, it is mediatic editorialism designed to draw attention on a non factual basis, it is hypersensationalism causing hypersensitity. You asked me to show examples of that and I did. To you, those might not be as harsh as the current one, but they are just examples among hundreds. You can easily browse their headlines and decide for yourself. You didn't comment on the Isreal one, but you questioned the B.C one. The full headline was B.C World Crime Superpower: The province is getting rich as a global hub for gangs, drugs and dirty money with a shot of the Vancouver skyline riddled with bullet holes. 2) I also said that Macleans does not have a Montreal bias. The Toronto cover was given as an example and I think the B.C one is. Once again, you can easily browse their articles and decide for yourself. 3) I said that similar articles were written in french and that nobody commented that it was Montreal bashing or as specified, the "us" versus "them" mentality. You asked for proof of these articles. You then harped about the gist not being the same. I was speaking about the gist of the articles in french and their headlines and the macleans cover and articles being of the same gist. You could have read the Macleans article and those written in french and decide. You did not. Quoting what I write and asking for proof when examples are given in the text you are quoting is trolling. It's not like you said, I checked Macleans and didn't find anything. I never denied anyones right to an opinion, I just labelled in my opinion types of opinion. To me, concern for a Macleans headline is being hypersensitive. To me, saying the cover is a typical reaction from english Canada is crybabyism. I also think we are wasting peoples time with this - I think most understood the point I was conveying as shown but others posts and that comments like: show the malice I mentioned, that appears to be your posting style when anything is contentious. When I said your words don't matter, are unintelligent, not credible, dishonest and small, the above quote was what I was referring to. I stand by that. I leave the last word to you, if you chose. Out of respect for the board, I will not comment further.
  13. Words only matter if they come from a source that is being intelligent, credible, truthful etc. That's why your words don't matter, and neither does a cheesy headline from Macleans. The fact that you put so much stock into that headline and defend your arguments with such malice shows how small you are. Please grow.
  14. I am not going to waste my and others time with your trolling and infantili.
