  1. First you are only comparing two headlines, so who's the one being ignorant. If you actually want to prove something, then please go and do an analysis of every headline in Macleans and study each word individually to draw a conclusion. Secondly, I specified that it was in relation not simply to the article, but to the crutch of the "us" versus "them" mentality. There is nothing wrong with the Montreal headline, it's an editorial, its supposed to be like that. They do this all the time, and Montreal is no exception. They have had headlines like "B.C Crime Superpower" and "Israel coming to an end" What illustrates the hypersensitivity is that articles with similar headlines have been published for weeks now in french, yet nobody said a word about it being Montreal bashing. I mean just last week, LaPresse called Montreal politics cancer and leDevoir had Mafia knocking on city's front door. The gist is the same, and if you are going to nitpick about individual words because they are more hurtful - then you are being hypersensitive.
  2. No they don't. It's just yours (and others here) hypersensitivity. Like I said, its crybabyism that many quebeckers use as a crutch along with blaming the ROC.
  3. So what?? The same stories have been written in french for weeks now. Suddenly you come out and say its Quebec bashing by those that supposedly loved us. Nice double standard.
  4. L'article est typique de n'importe quel media. Quand ca bash Toronto vous vous mettez en ligne pour dire que c'est vrai. Maintenant vous faites le bébé-lala - ils sont mechant crise d'anglais du ROC. You guys complain that the city is not moving forward and then most of you complain and whine and dwell about a trivial article.

    POM - 10 étages (2011)

    I am not gonna get into a pissing contest as to who knows more about this project. If you think sales started in April cuz you know some chick and some guy - bravo. The point was that sales for this project were slow. Just like they are slow for the other projects downtown and there were only 4 over the last year.

    Well other developpers look at sales figures for similar (size or geographic) projects. A 138 unit project is not very big for downtown Montreal and 45% over 13 months is a bad sign for future projects. Let alone bigger ones.

    Sales didn't start in May - they started in October 2008. They were already excavating in March.

    Tour Centreville ~ 58 étages

    Isn't this just two blocks from where Kevric is also proposing a mixed use?
  11. isn't that a zone d'épuration?
  12. LOL - we think we will impress them by showing that we transformed a former garbage dump into a recycling center and circus school?? They are transforming their former garbage dump into a wind power station.
  13. Oui mais Julius Grey et Dan Philip sont des gros noms dans la communauté anglophone.

    TGV: Liaison Windsor - Québec

    Sorel n'est pas sur le chemin. T-R peut-être mais il n'y pas beaucoup de marge de manoeuvre. Tu manque ton train, soit que tu ne travaille pas cette journée ou tu reste à Montréal le soir.

    Office Vacancy Rates

    Vacancy rates keep rising in third quarter for Canada's commercial real estate sector, report shows (CP) – 44 minutes ago TORONTO — The amount of empty office space across Canada continued to rise in the third quarter due to higher unemployment in white-collar industries and excess inventory in some cities, a new report shows. Vacancy rates for commercial real estate are expected to keep rising "well into 2010" as the country works through the impact of the recent recession, CB Richard Ellis Ltd. said in report released Monday. Vacancy rates rose for the third straight quarter to an average of 9.4 per cent, up from 6.3 per cent for the same time last year, said the real estate services firm. "Limited new job creation in Canada's 'white-collar' industries and the addition of new inventory in two of Canada's three largest office markets are cited as reasons for the increase," according to the National Office and Industrial Trends Third Quarter Report. Commercial vacancy rates rose most noticeably Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver, the report shows. Calgary's third quarter vacancy rate jumped to 13.1 per cent, from 4.7 per cent last year, due to the impacts of a slowdown in the oil and gas industry. "The city's oil and gas industry and commercial market remained inexorably linked, as players both large and small continue to recognize that even Calgary has not been immune to the country's new economic reality," the report states. In Toronto, the commercial vacancy rate rose to 9.1 per cent from 6.6 per cent last year. The vacancy rate in downtown Toronto is expected to climb further in the coming quarter as space becomes available in newly constructed office towers. In Vancouver, vacancy rates climbed to 8.9 per cent from 5.4 per cent for the same time last year. The report said Vancouver is one of the more stable markets in the country thanks to limited new development. Montreal's vacancy rate rose to 10.3 per cent from 8.3 per cent last year, while Halifax's rose to 10.2 per cent from 8.4 per cent. Vacancy rates also rose in the country's smaller office markets, specifically in suburban areas, but at a lesser rate, the report shows. It said cities with government office space also saw more stability in their commercial real estate markets. Ottawa had the lowest overall third quarter vacancy rate in the country of 5.8 per cent compared to five per cent for the same time last year, while Winnipeg's rate came in at 7.5 per cent up from 4.8 per cent last year. The overall vacancy rate in the Waterloo Region, home to such technology firms as Research in Motion (TSX:RIM), edged up slightly to 6.7 per cent from 6.4 per cent last year. The report predicts vacancy rates to keep rising in the fourth quarter and into 2010, "as Canada continues to grind its way out of the recession."

  20. Consultation bureau rejects 34-storey plan The Gazette September 9, 2009 Montreal restaurateur Ali Khan has had only part of his grandiose plans for a 34-storey downtown hotel and condominium complex accepted by the city's public consultation bureau. In its report released yesterday, the Office de consultation publique said a tower of such height in that area along René Lévesque Blvd. W. would constitute a major variance of the Montreal Master Plan. Instead, they would accept an 11-storey building. While expressing disappointment, Khan said yesterday he remains hopeful the city executive committee will still approve the original plan for 180 housing units to be constructed on 15,000 square feet of vacant parking space he owns behind a row of four Victorian heritage buildings between Guy and Mackay Sts. Project architect Michelange Panzini said yesterday he has a Plan B that would involve a 28-storey building with half the floors consisting of apartments and the other half hotel rooms. Khan owns Buffet Maharaja, which is part of the four buildings, and has budgeted $80 million for the project.
  21. I am pretty sure that if the project is restructured to destroy the victorian houses on Rene-Levesque and put the tower directly on the street, it wouldn't need to pass by the OCPM because the zoning would actually fall into the city master plan. There is no regulation protecting the victorian houses, it was just designed that way.
