Also, if they rename du Parc then WTF is the neighbourhood of Parc Ex going to be called?

cool(ironic), another sensitive language debate in perspective!

I do not see nothing wrong with renaming Du Parc( The Park) by an ex prime minister of the province of Quebec.

Since, the residents of the streets seems to not care so much...

Edit:
Maybe a better idea is something like this:

I've came across of a picture of a street of Boston, in the La Presse newspaper. The official name of the street was kept the same,(ex: Du Parc) but it was wrote below; In Honor of Robert Bourassa.(or something like this)

Actually, the residents of the street are amongst the most pissed off.

You know how many businesses are on that road that have to change their signs and business names, or look silly?

[CrONoS]

@Ninot
We'll see... the opposition (I live in Quebec city) seems not to came from the residents, but came mainly from the business.
(as I see on TV)

whats at 1800 mcgill ave? really?

[KrazyHorse]

Isn't that place montreal trust?

[KrazyHorse]

Also, it's mcgill college ave, not mcgill ave

[Victor Galis]

There seems to be some mild outrage among students too, though obviously many have probably not lived here long enough to care.

Apparently Av. du Parc has been called that for well over 100 years. Opponents of the move have suggested that a street that actually has some sort of connection to Robert Bourassa (like the street he grew up on) be named in his honor instead.

[Richelieu]

The only good thing Bourassa ever did was James Bay. Other than that he was about as cynical a politician as you can get. He'd have been right at home in Louisiana.

Depends where, you have Mcgill college, then it stops near Rene-levesque, then starts again after St-Antoine as Mcgill only.

Where I have classes.

We've probably crossed paths without knowing it. I volounteer at People's Potato almost every day, and have lectures in that building on fridays.

Since when do you live in Kah-beck?

a) It stops at Cathcart, not Rene Levesque. It runs straight into the north side of PVM.

b) The street that's below St Antoine is called "Rue Mcgill", not McGill Ave

c) The address he gave doesn't exist on Rue McGill. The mid 1000s on north-south roads are at or above Ste-Catherine
