It’s often said that City Hall is the people’s home…but which people are we talking about in the $200 million-plus renovated Valerie Plante?
Do you feel like you’re in the world’s second French-speaking city when you enter this building inspired by Parisian architecture under Napoleon III?
No!
It should be emphasized as much as possible that the city was founded by the French and is largely populated by French Canadians who came from the countryside in the last century.
A strange absence
We know: Meyer is repeatedly at odds with historians Nausea The lie of the undivided territory of Montreal.
It’s wrong and it dishonors the unique founders of his city, but our ridiculous wrongdoer participates in this charade, which, it must be emphasized, is “de-Quebecized” by our shameful and failing Montreal Canadiens before every game.
At the hotel in Valery Plante City, one can expect a symbol of mohawks upon entering!
Aren’t they the rightful owners of Montreal?
Veil of Redemption
Valérie Plante’s Montreal The first image of a woman for anyone arriving at its underprivileged city hall, on a large welcome sign, is a woman veiled in a hijab, so shapeless that no one can see her. Modesty is preserved!
My colleague Sophie Durocher wrote to highlight the irony of this museum space, which glorifies women’s liberation and visibility.
In the welcome picture, this veiled woman is the center and the dying man is on the soft side: an insignificant young man in a hat (his plate is surprised that the plate is not on the back) and an old man with glasses.
July 24th comes: Anniversary Long live Free Quebec! General de Gaulle pronounced on the balcony of the Town Hall.
Will Valerie Plante jump at the chance to honor the great Charles by naming this balcony after him?
I’m just joking!
