Sigh. I guess I have to be the sole owner of the expos to stop this shared team madness.  I'm buying an expansion team. 

I honestly feel bad for the fans in Tampa. I felt the sting of a half season in Puerto Rico. It sucks big time. Just do it already.  This is ridiculous. It is bad for both baseball fans in both cities. 

Stop insulting people's intelligence and just freaking rip the bandage off already and get it done. 

Géniale! J'ai hâte de voir rouler les quatre rames de train REM à l'heure de pointe d'ici quelques années!

At least the bike/pedistrian lane should be open by next week. It be interesting to walk across it.

CBC has some nice drone footage of the bridge from this morning.

Now that is a proper article!

The design for the bridge was unveiled FOUR years ago and two days out from cars rolling on it for the first time people are realizing it's not "iconic" enough 😓

Because as soon as anyone on this forum states anything negative during the design enveiling, a lot of people say  "you are negative" and "wait and see". 

I am a huge baseball fan and I look forward to sitting in my season ticket seats in 2030. However, I strongly beleive that we would NOT be in the process of getting an MLB franchise if we didn't have the history of having one in the past. We are only trying to get a baseball team because we HAD one before. If we never had a team that left in 2004, we would be trying to get an NBA team instead of MLB. Especially after the Raptor's success.

no no NO! All or nothing dammit! I waited for 15 years, I will wait 15 more!

Le problème est que je suis biaisé, mais à travers ces photos j'ai l'impression que Montréal est la plus belle ville du monde.

100% d'accord

lol @ 1:58-2:05  "Once you are back on earth, you are pampered. You are a stones throw away from the Museums and the vacant store front of Sherbrooke street"

This video is a joke man. They actually showed the à louer sign

Wow. After 12 years of discussion on this forum, we are almost there! 🍾

Superb photos! Of course I am biased but La Joute fountain, number 13 on the list, incorporates the whole square and is the best on that list.

Place Jean-Paul Riopelle is by far my favorite square in the city. Both for the unique fountain (including the vapour show) and for the intimate, tree filled south side. This building will make it even more complete. It's amazing!

All aboard the new REM! lol

The photos are taken from the good profile which is lovely but makes the ugly side even worse in my opinion. I still find it fugly but I like the article a lot and the artist's interview is fun to read. I am happy to see it was never intended to be sliced; he had to chop it off because of the many reasons discussed. 

I think the permitted  height will be restricted due to it being too close to the flight path to Trudeau. (I think). Also, the orange line extension to bois-franc is half done. It shouldn't that more complicated or expensive to continue a few hundred metres more. 

As for the decade long disaster that is Cavendish, the main problem is and always will be Cote saint Luc residents.

That looks absolutely ridiculous.  

Art is subjective. Here is my take...

This thing is the dumbest design I have ever seen since crystal de la montagne. This absolutely flies in the face of everyone who sees symmetry (or lack of it in this case) everywhere.

Garbage. I hope to live long enough to see this thing thrown in the trash.

Je sais que les anciens structures sont maintenant presque entièrement démolis mais est-ce que quelqu'un sait si les structures actuels sont-ils permanentes ou sont-t-ils des structures temporaires qui seront eux aussi démoli d'ici fin 2020? 

I've always maintained that if you are going to do it, do it right.

I sincerely hope they will stain the wood and that is part of the 3-4% left. If not, it is terrible. It looks nice on the outside but people will look up and see that horrible ceiling. 

Bon débarras!

^^ Come on! We've had so much rain this spring the city flooded, same two years ago, how are we gonna host teams in the spring without a roof? We need a retractible roof!

I agree 100%. If you are going to do it do it right! We waited more than 15 years for them to return. There is no point to half-ass it with a stadium without a retractible roof. it is too cold and windy in that area. Ask anyone who fills their car at the Costco gas station. That being said. I'm still buying 3 season tockets

I went to see the Miami Marlins yesterday. They were playing the nationals. Old expos vs. the team whose owner screwed the expos. It was really nice and comfortable. Late April, open stadium and warm breeze. Damn I miss baseball!!!!

Very bad attendance. The Marlins have the worst attendance in baseball for many years now. Barely 10,000 per game.

Puisqu'on parle de ce pont, cette vidéo est à voir absolument! Je suis conscient que c'est de l'auto-promotion de la compagnie Mammoet, mais pour quiconque s'intéresse à la technique qui a été utilisée pour "glisser" le pont en place, c'est à ne pas manquer.

Wow merci!
