Tiny bit of REM may be tunnelled
It seems like a joke for the downtown REM to be sent into a tunnel for half a kilometer, between Robert-Bourassa and Jeanne-Mance.

The more I think about this, the more I am convinced that someone at the Caisse and at the top level of the provincial government despises Montreal.
I am having great difficulty imagining any other province where a third party could walk into a city and say “Hey, you know your major thoroughfare? We’re going to permanently shut that down to install something that nobody is asking for but it’s going to make us a lot of money, and you’re going to have to pay for it.”

I used to wonder how the Parc-Pine highway interchange ever got approved. I think I understand how this happened now. Money can’t understand anything that gets in the way of more money.
The ugly and dysfunctional Pine-Parc highway interchange was just a way to sell more cars and oil. And this elevated skytrain that cuts through downtown is just a way to sell suburban real estate.
Money can’t understand why ugliness and dysfunction should be allowed to stop more money from flowing.
