The mayor on Maisonneuve-Rosemont
Mayor Plante has a piece on TVA about Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital, pointing out that it serves a third of the city’s population, and covers an area the size of Quebec City, which has four hospitals to rely on. It’s a straightforward piece but you can read between the lines a demand for more help from Quebec.
On La Presse, Plante’s plea to Quebec for help in restoring the area around Place Émilie‑Gamelin is also mentioned.

Why won’t they just come out with actual sensible and actionable solutions? For example take the Rosemont and Maisonneuve buildings off the heritage building list, neither is particularly relevant or exceptional architecturally (unless you happen to believe that because a building is shaped like a cross it must be protected), how many headlines have we seen about how the project is too expensive and they need to scale it down? You know what would save an enormous amount of money? Being able to build from scratch and not spend hundreds of millions trying to adapt and build around old pavilions. They’re both 70-80 years old, I’m sure there are no surprises hiding behind those walls at all. none
