Il y a une grue à tour à l'ancien marché de St-Léonard. Il s'agit du nouveau bureau de la direction régionale d'Urgence Sante pour Montréal, je crois. Ils ont un panneau d'affichage avec une photo de l'édifice. Ce sera un bâtiment de 5 ou 6 étages qui fera face sur la rue Jarry est. They are at 3 floors already...strange I haven't seen a mention of it in MTLURB. Or did I miss it???:shhh::shhh:

Nouvelles Projet minier de 1,3 milliard $ à Bécancour Le 5 novembre 2013 à 11h33 | Argent Minéraux rares Quest a annoncé mardi un investissement majeur à Bécancour. L’entreprise minière y fera construire une usine de 1,3 milliard de dollars. L’entreprise prévoit la création d’environ 500 emplois pendant la phase de construction du complexe, et plus de 300 lors de l'entrée en fonction de l'usine dans trois ans. À la suite d'une étude de préfaisabilité, Quest estime que son gisement de la Zone-B de Lac Strange, situé dans le nord du Québec, deviendra l'un des projets miniers d'éléments de terres rares lourdes les plus importants et de plus haute qualité au monde. L'entreprise canadienne veut faire de l'usine de Bécanour la première usine du genre en Amérique du Nord et l'une des plus avancées sur le plan technologique. http://argent.canoe.ca/nouvelles/projet-minier-de-13-milliard-becancour-5112013

Montreal == Barrayar So, I'm probably not going to get around to doing a really complete trip report post. But there's one thing that eventually got to sticking in my mind, and is probably going to really affect my image of Vorbarr Sultana in the future. The thing is, it gradually became clear that Montreal, at least the part of it that we spent a week in, is a city designed pretty much entirely without regard for the existence of disabled people. There are stairs freaking everywhere. Can't go into most restaurants or shops without going either up or down stairs. Can't, as far as I could tell, use the metro without using a whole ton of stairs. You walk down hallways and there are just little flights of stairs, almost randomly. On the last day there we saw a couple of people in wheelchairs, and I don't know how they manage. It seemed to me that there were all sorts of times when we would be going someplace, and we'd go and go and go on the flat, and then suddenly there would be stairs. And you'd have to turn around and go all the way back where you came from and find a different way, or maybe something entirely different to do. This would drive me completely nuts, were I in a wheelchair. Thankfully I can walk these days, and apart from occasionally feeling like I was in a Bujold novel (not necessarily a bad thing) I had a wonderful time there, and felt something of a connection with the city. It's just a weird piece of setting that struck me rather hard. And a strange thing knowing that as much as I enjoyed being there, it's likely to be somewhat of a fair-weather friend. (Much like San Francisco was, come to think of it.)
