La Tulipe owners call for help
The group that owns and operates La Tulipe is calling for help as it is threatened with closure.
Late last night I saw a good tweet: “You’d think in a province that is hyper focused on preserving its culture it would do more to keep the places where we can experience and participate in that culture from being closed by one fucking idiot. In a heritage building, no less.”
The Monument National has a sort of protected zone around it. So should this one.
The Plateau has lost a bunch of performance venues in recent years. This didn’t come up in the election, but maybe it should have. The Plateau, including Mile End, is not a dormitory suburb, it’s supposed to be a lively part of the central city, but that isn’t going to last if its venues are shut down by property owners.

Unbelievable fail for the city to approve the conversion of the building adjacent from commercial to residential.

They say it was a mistake. That’s a big mistake to make. Or could somebody have used leverage or money to get a spot zoning change made for them?

Follow the money. Who from the municipality signed the approval forms? Who is on the board of directors for the company that did the renovation?
