While Montreal’s long-time mayor Jean Drapeau was building the monuments to his reign, Pierre Trudeau was looking to make his own mark on the city. But it wasn’t going to be easy. Premier Robert Bourassa had his own vision for the city and the province. While Trudeau wanted the airport built west of Montreal, closer to Ottawa, Bourassa wanted it to be built to the east, in Drummondville. They compromised on Mirabel, sixty kilometres north of the city.

Democracy at work people. Look how well governments in power treat us when we vote them in.


To hell with these people.


Btw, how's that empty train station with no rails in or out going in Dorval airport? Much cobwebs yet?
