Unrelated, but IIRC the stadium’s esplanade used to have, I think, each olympic member country’s flag flying; at some point, they replaced them with Quebec flags. So instead of emphasizing the international community coming to Montreal in 1976, we’ve got like 150 Quebec flags flying next to this terrible eyesore.

@Joey I too noticed this a little while back. It turns out, this was a celebration for the Fleurdelysé’s 75th anniversary, and was done ahead of La Fête Nationale last year:

They should restore the flags to the way they were in time for the start of this year’s Olympic games.
