Hampstead referendum is Sunday

La Presse looks at the referendum being held Sunday in Hampstead over the demolition of those two apartment buildings on Côte St-Luc for the construction of a much bigger condo complex. While anglo media have soft-pedalled the story to some extent, even reporting this week that the developer is kindly suggesting the tenants move back into the new building, La Presse points out that, while the proposed development would bring in more tax revenue, Hampstead is sitting on a $6M surplus and hardly needs the bump. CBC did, fairly, point out this week that one of the partners is a cousin of the mayor of Hampstead, too.
